And... I wonder if you have to show Gaider some kind of retard pass to prove you can make a DLC, because that's pretty much what every DA:O DLC made me think of -- with the exclusion of Warden's Keep. But then that was just cut content from the original anyway, and surprisingly, contained the best writing in the entire game. How funny was that.
The Warden's Keep development probably went out like this:
D.Gaider: Ehh, it would be awesome to have an insight on the Wardens from the past.
Gaider's Bitch #1: That's an awesome idea David! *slurp* *slurp*
D.Gaider: Yes, I know, I'm that awesome.
D.Gaider: There's however the issue I'm currently perfecting Zevran and his romance options which is taking away all my spare time, so I can't really do it.
Gaider's Bitch #2: *cleans his chin* But there's that guy from the ME team that is currently available, he wrote some amateurish questlines before.
D.Gaider: Hmm. Oh well! It's my only option since I can't postpone Zevran's fine development. It's getting so mature and intense!! Alright, give that guy a general idea of what I want and a short deadline :evilface:
Months later...
Gaider's Bitch #1: Master Gaider! People won't stop talking about how much they liked The Warden's Keep DLC!! That was a genius idea you had!
D.Gaider: I know, I did great with that DLC. Took me a lot of effort to come up with those nifty details and the Sophia romance which was GLORIOUS!
Gaider's Bitch #1: ...but... there was no romance on that DLC master Gaider...
D.Gaider: ehh... guys, I just had an idea. Let's start working on Dragon Age 2 and this time I came up with some new ideas. Let's implement something called the "Dialog Wheel" and fully voiced main character. This will revolutionize RPGs!
Gaider's Bitch #2: Oh, that's a wonderful idea David! Let's get to work! *slurp*
