3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

In a response to an article written for Bloomberg by Jason Schreier investigating the ten year "development turmoil," lead level designer Brian J. Audette refutes the notion that the game was "compromised" in a post on their bluesky account.

The full post reads:

Reposting without comment except: I refute that we made a bad or compromised game. We made the best version of what we released, warts and all. I'm damn proud of it and the team. We couldn't have made a better Dragon Age, only a different one.

This is the exact same kind of late stage denial, that Ubisoft people are going through. They didn't make a Dragon Age game. They just made generic slop with a Dragon Age branding. All these Assassin's Creed games after the series reboot have been experiencing the exact same treatment. With 0 doubt in my mind, if the next Mass Effect ever comes out, it'll be like this too.

Stop supporting these people. Spend your money on something actually good, especially if it's made by an indie dev
