I wonder why his tweets are protected. Maybe the game's name change has something to do with his ouster?
He reportedly was removed during 2023 layoffs.
EDIT.
Still working at Bioware.

It's laughable how the series started with the intent of being a coherent narrative (Origins) and can't even maintain a coherent setting.
What's incoherent about it? Other than the orcs being changed between DAO and DA2, I don't recall other retcons.
Dragon Age 2 felt like it was a fucking parody it was so inconsistent...

Flemeth was especially jarring. With qunari, I could sort of suspend my disbelief, because at least they acted sort of like what Sten described them as, but Flemeth looked and acted like a different person.

According to Gaider those two models (Qunari and Flementh) were designed during Origins days, but they ran out of time/money to finish them. So when they started working on DA2 decided to use them or make it "like the Klingon thing" to quote him. And that "those models are so cool nobody will care"

He said as much in one of the long form Dragon Age retrospectives he decided to do an interview for.

Are you sure? I thought he was the one who stayed in the band.

So, Flemeth in Origins hasn't boob-window for budget reasons?

Yup, if they had their way, boobed window "GILF" (those sick fucks) Flemeth would be in Origins.

Veilguard sounds like a moba character or WoW class. They should just change it to DA4 at this point.

BioWare general manager Gary McKay stated that the retitling was not due focus testing:
We actually think sticking with Dreadwolf would have been the safer choice – 'Dread Wolf' is a cool name after all! In the end, it was most important for us to have a title that was authentic to the companions that are the heart of this adventure we've created. We've worked throughout development to create really incredible backstories for each companion that intersect with the main narrative in meaningful ways.
Smells woke and sounds gay.

Gaider says that alot but it sounds like damage control to me. First he said Qunari were always supposed to have horns but they couldn't fix helmets to work with Sten's model, then he said it's because they ran out of money and time. Meanwhile early concept art shows Sten completely hornless.

Sales depend on how many queerosexual gendermancers this franchise has managed to retain. If I were to guess, I'd say not many, but the ones who exist will buy it no doubt.

I thought Flemeth was because she's a shapeshifter and in 2 and Inquisition she doesn't bother with the humble old woman disguise.

Well when this too falls on its ass it'll be one more card on the teetering house of cards that is this nonsense agenda. Eventually it must collapse.

Although perhaps they have demographics numbers that indicate these groups are the whales, that would prop it up.

I'm often reminded of the book 'Forever War' when the vets come back and its been like a thousand years they have been in cryosleep and the entire world has turned gay to control the birth rate. It's so shocking they immediately turn around and sign up for another tour.
