CR - in mourning for BioWare

Seems some more Mass Effect 5 stuff has dropped, this time via Austin Wintory, who seems to have been the composer for the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO8...

Hearing @ghildirthalen.bsky.social lay into *redacted* on the stream, when I myself had my name as The Ghost of *redacted* for awhile because Mark Darrah referred to him that way in a video once, has weirdly amused me.

This mfer.

He's probably not a minor NPC, per se but Gorim with his fine dwarven crafts, will also be famous. However, I'm going to go for Mhairi because if she'd lived, we'd have had Alix Wilton Regan as a companion to the HoF/Orlesian Warden.

This is amazing work! I do wish it was up for longer but I do know other billboards are coming. #SaveMassEffect

This is what I want, too. I want most, if not all of the 50 devs to finish Mass Effect 5 but as an Independent studio and to also hire more devs. Although I don't know why Mary DeMarle left back in January. Hopefully it was for sensible reasons and not a falling out.

I'm sorry, no. I can't do this. Ralph (Skill Up) did a lot of damage with his review of Dragon Age: The Veilguard (whether he meant to, or not) and I'm still bitter about it.

So earlier, my brother was watching Octobinz (Romain Toutain)'s livestream on Twitch. He was the Technical Director on Mass Effect Universe, so I wanted to share some bits he discussed. As he speaks french, I added subtitles to make it more accessible for everyone! #MassEffect #MassEffectUniverse

Both Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer being wholesome about #SaveMassEffect in their short little videos, is truly a lovely thing to see.

Looking forward to seeing what Mary, Sylvia and Sarah are cooking up.

BioWare's loss has impacted our team as many of us spent over a decade working on their games. While we'll never be able to recapture the glory days exactly as they were, you can find some of the former BW team are still here, still making games, trying to do our roots proud.

The one Alix Wilton Regan voiced character they did the dirty on.

This music gets me every fucking time. Damn it.

'While the "Mass Effect effect" line is a bit of a clunker, Lewis showed off his gamer cred in response to an inquiry on X: When asked who he romanced in Mass Effect 2, he replied, "If I'm honest, I'm a Mass Effect 1 on the PS3 type of guy."' Oh he absolutely romanced Liara.

BioWare's corpse is cold now and yet you do this to me? ARGH.

This sounds like they have a relatively well-known VA involved to voice FemJun. I just hope it's not Jennifer Hale (that'd be a bit weird). But I guess this also means we'll be getting one fixed voice and not an American/English voice, like in DA:I/DA:TV. I can live with that.

STFU Greg, you fucking ghoul. Stay the fuck out of this.

I have a confession to make: I now play Dragon Age: The Veilguard Bloomless It should never have been on by default.

Hopefully a resolution to the Quarian Ark beyond what you wrote in Mass Effect: Annihilation.

Someone just posited the idea of Amazon buying the Mass Effect IP and I genuinely hate that they did. That'd be fucking awful. Please don't, Amazon.

Trick knew, damn it, Trick knew.

Tom's a real one. Thanks for giving us "Scott" Ryder, Tom. You did an amazing job! 😀

I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4 It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it

I genuinely might ragebait myself to death if I watch MrMattyPlay's BioWare video whenever it drops.

Image unrelated.

Can anyone summarise what Jen and Mark said on Jen's Instragram please?

The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 and many other recent video games wouldn't exist without BioWare.

Bioware represented me beating everyone who told me I couldn't. I did the impossible I shipped a Dragon Age as a Senior Systems Designer. I didn't want to be one of the last ones to get a Bioware employee hoodie. Others deserved that feeling too. This is a profound loss

i love Raphael Sbarge so much (Kaidan my beloved). 😭 ❤️‍🩹

It gets fucking worse. www.ign.com/articles/ea-...

Absolutely destroyed by the news about BioWare today… As difficult as Veilguard was, those were some of the best, most talented and passionate people I’ve ever worked with and I’d give anything to do it again if it meant I got to do it with them. I genuinely had some of my best years there.

Oooh, not read this. I'll absolutely give this a read.

I will always be grateful to Bioware for bringing Lucanis into my life and, by extension, you all. In a meager attempt to brighten the mood, I am asking you to submit your cameo like prompts here. On Friday, I will create a poll with selected prompts and you can vote on which you'd like me to do. Go

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it. Massive fucking bummer.

Can someone ask Jason Schreier to unblock me? He blocked me ages ago and I have no idea why. I have no beef with him whatsoever, so I presume I must have said something that came across as mean at the time.
