TheGamer reports: '“It's A Sad End, But In My Opinion, At Least We Got One”: What Dragon Age Devs And Creators Have Said About The End Of The Series'

Excerpt:

"Members of the Dragon Age Community Council have also commented on the game’s development. These fans were brought in to consult on The Veilguard mid-development, so they would have spoken to the team directly. They also allude to the team wanting to implement something that the fans were after, but not being able to. “While it’s pissy o’clock, i just want to air out how many frustrating stories at [BioWare] ive heard [sic],” says content creator and council member, Ghil Dirthalen, or Caitie. “The DA team absolutely knew what we wanted and pitched to deliver but was told no so many times.” Caitie has previously explained what some of these requests were, including a change of art style, going back to the usual four-person party size, and more world state reactivity. Caitie also adds that everything was “a mess” before Corinne Busche took over as game director, saying: “The project really came together when she became the lead”. She’s, therefore, frustrated to see Busche shoulder so much blame. Fellow content creator and council member Kala Edwards shares a similar sentiment. “Idk just thinking about what Dragon Age could have looked like if its management and overhead put more care and attention into the series instead of undermining devs at every opportunity. Removing and moving management and not giving them the proper resources. Idk, what if.” Content creator Miss Insanity, who was also part of the Council, expanded on these feelings. “I have infinite love and respect for many of the former Dragon Age devs,” she tells me. “It's been about 13 years since I started making BioWare content and later joining their Creators program, and the team used to be so inspired and driven - happily talking to the community in their free time, and going above and beyond to keep the game's essence alive. “Over the years, it has been harrowing to watch that light burn out. The Dragon Age community bears a lot of resentment right now for how it all went down, but we all loved the series and the community around it to hell and back. It's a sad end, but in my opinion, at least we got one.” She also alludes to how this was not the first time BioWare had struggled to deliver, referring to the years spent on Anthem. “It was like watching BioWare crash out through an identity crisis, willfully and proudly abandoning the reasons why people loved their games and upheld them as a safe space in the first place,” she tells me. “And evidently, permanently stunting themselves in the process.”

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

"They ruined Ciri she was so powerful and could travel between universes why would she be just a witcher"

She's a burnt out child prodigy. She was chosen and her entire life has been about this one thing. She stopped the apocalypse and fulfilled her destiny. Now she's lost because what do you even do after that? Her whole destiny (that she hated, by the way) was taken from her. She didn't want to rule.

So she goes to the one thing that made her happy. Her good memories are from Kaer Morhen and Geralt and Yennefer, her family. She doesn't know what she's supposed to do now that she's not running. But she sees that there is a job to do. Something that she can do. So she does it and goes through the mutations to do it better.

They didn't ruin Ciri. They listened to her and now they're showing us what she does next.
