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 :)

Mary is correct, Seblon. My admonition was against real-world "prejudices" (subjective bias against other groups or individuals, an 'us vs. them' tone, and/or condemning that with which you disagree), not general statements.

Except you don't turn into an upbeat mac truck. Which would be kind of cool... or possibly annoying. Maybe both. Bloody optimists... they ruin everything. |

Date: Tuesday, 09 January 2007 05:58PM The number 1 what?  You really think so? Maybe they wanted to equate the two in terms of ease of use or sales or popularity, in which case comparing us to Blizzard or NWN to Diablo is rather a sort of compliment.  Stanley "Optimist Prime" Woo |

I wouldn't trust her, folks. Mary is the sort of woman who can be seen standing "obviously casually" looking over the shoulder of an innkeeper who owns an intricate wood inn and then saying to the innkeeper "Nice looking Inn you have here, squire. Shame if anything happened to it. Have you thought about Dragon Insurance? It'll protect you against fire. Very flammable places these inns. Go up like kindling ifyouknowwhatImean. Lots of dragons about these days. It'd be a right shame if your life's work burned to the ground. But my Dragon Insurance can practically guarantee that won't happen tonight. Without it, I can practically guarantee it might."
Beware. |

And? I'll remind you that it was just as legitimate for a character to want to take revenge on Irenicus or to want to know what Irenicus knew about the Bhaalspawn... there was even dialogue to the effect that you might not have cared what happened to Imoen, and you could say so not only when you exited the dungeon but when you encountered Imoen after the asylum. All that was asked of you was that you did want to go after Irenicus. Which was a lot to ask, actually. I'm not saying that that was the best way to go, but trying to say that we were forcing you to care about Imoen isn't going to wash. |

That would be awesome. "But my brother Og'Narok'ashak the Terrible said he signed up for your resurrection insurance!" "I'm sorry, sir, but it turns out that Mr. Terrible was disintegrated. Now if he had signed up for our premium Total Resurrection service, that wouldn't have been a problem." "Aargh!" |

I suddenly want to be an evil cleric in the Forgotten Realms... with the sheer number of adventurers running around thwarting minions of evil, I could retire after a month and buy Thay. |
