I'm mourning the Dragon Age game I missed my opportunity to play

'It takes Anthem's spot': Former Dragon Age producer Mark Darrah thinks the original version of Dragon Age 4 would have released in February 2019⁠—a 'compromised' game, but likely better received than Veilguard

Former Dragon Age producer Mark Darrah agrees that Mages were the most 'complete' class in Origins, says it came from D&D rules and the fact that Warriors and Rogues weren't allowed to 'violate physics' yet

Former BioWare producer Mark Darrah thinks the studio failed to 'prepare' fans for how different Dragon Age 2 was: 'People look at it and they're like, well this sure isn't Dragon Age: Origins 2, which it isn't'

'Veilguard is 4 games stitched together', says ex-BioWare lead Mark Darrah, and it might've been better to 'shut the project down completely' around 2017

Dragon Age wasn't meant to be a series, says former BioWare executive producer, and that's why Origins was full of storylines that 'had to be abandoned'

The best thing about Fallout New Vegas was right there in Bethesda's initial pitch to Obsidian

Fallout 76 devs were surprised the community turned out to be so friendly: 'It’s post-apocalyptic, it’s Fallout, they’re going to all want to kill one another ... it's the complete opposite'

Todd Howard says Bethesda really didn't expect people to hate the way Fallout 3 ended with a full stop: 'We thought this is Fallout, it’s great! People hated it!'

The Fallout VATS system was inspired by Burnout's crash mode of all things or, as Todd Howard puts it, 'imagine the car parts are, like, eyeballs and guts!'

'It took about 5 years' for people to start liking Fallout: New Vegas, says Josh Sawyer, and even longer for Obsidian to see that 'players actually liked the design choices we had made'

I am once again tapping my 'Todd Howard genuinely loves Fallout' sign: He's an OG Fallout 1 fan and still hasn't given back the disc he nicked from his brother
