Most of the content of Dragon Age Central has been developer posts to the official Dragon Age forums, first opened in May 2004. But all things must come to an end, and these forums were shut down on 2nd November 2009, the day before the game’s release in North America.

Since I haven’t had time to add much other content to the site for most of 2009, I’ve decided to also shut down Dragon Age Central as it was, leaving it here as an archive.

The new Dragon Age Central is now a much simpler (and fully automated) website dedicated to making developer posts to the new official forum (on Bioware’s social site) easier to find and search through.

It’s been interesting running this site, and in a way I’ll miss it... but hopefully I’ll be too busy finally playing the actual game to care :)

Now, are all male names going to be difficult to pronounce in DA? Or do we get a "John" or "Arthur"? Oh! I want an Arthur! biggrin smile

Admittedly "Duncan" does have that trailing sound that is hard to roll off your tongue in old Ferelden-ish... is that what you mean? wink smile

Uh, no. I meant Teyrn Loghain. Whom I have a theory on, though it's really just random and I don't think I can relate it to anything: Teyrn looks like Theirn, which is believed to be a Cajun French version of Theodore, meaning "Gift of God". I'm probably way off, and it's just the team being creative, but I'm picking at straws as best I can. rolleyes smile

Edit: Ohh. Took me a bit to realize you're one of them. Are you evil, too?

Uh, let's see what day is it today... nope, no, today I'm not evil. Definitely not. Mostly. Pretty certainly not today, no. biggrinno smile

That idea of running around our city praising Bioware and posting the video is great. Maybe that should be the new initiative from the Bioware Community...but we had to wear chainmail, helmet and a weapon of choice.

I can see the headlines now: "Bioware geeks in full body armour storm castle of S. Jorge. Conquering nerds rename it Grey Wardens' Keep. City's population just stares in disbelief."

I think that would be a first in BioWare history. biggrin smile You could start at the 'Se' and work your way up... remember, no buses or electric trams - there's no teleportation in DA wink smile

You might also want to consider renaming it slightly, if there was such a thing in DA:O I would have thought a Keep would be closer to the tower of Belem... uh, and not that we would ever condone any such activity of any kind, just saying. good smile
