Dragon Age 4 Status Report

A tweet from Mark Darrah has proof-of-life for Dragon Age 4 (thanks VG247). The executive producer of BioWare's Dragon Age franchise says they are making progress, but admits working from home is making things more difficult:
I realize that most of you are here for Dragon Age news and there hasn't been a lot of that lately...
Let me just run down some things I an say:
1. We are working on the next Dragon Age
2. Yes we are working from home
3. Working from home is harder
4. We are making progress

Sorry

No one trusts you, Bioware.

Stop using "working from home" as an excuse. Other devs are doing it fine.
Im a dev, and working from home, and its not hindering my work or my companies. In fact, at times it seems that more work gets done, not less.

It depends on the person. A large study found some people worked better in the office around other people, and some people worked better at home alone. Giving employees the choice is the key.

That sounds infinitely more plausible. I'd imagine it's the same people who were diligent and studious in school versus those goofing off all the time and disrupting everyone else.

Exactly who asked for this? After the dumpster fire that was the last two (ehh, 1 & 1/2 to be fair) of these games, absolutely no expectation of quality whatsoever...

I've seen similiar studies as well. Like the average company saving 30% on overhead per work-at-home employee while simultaneously seeing increased efficiency.

If I worked with this Mark Darrah guy I'd sock him in the mouth if his ill-informed comments got me pulled back into a soul crushing cubicle.

Yeah I guess it really sucks you can't just work them so far past their breaking point that they suffer from PTSD like you did with Anthem.

Apparently studies show that people who work from home work more hours on average. This isn't game-industry specific, however.

The only reason I even remotely liked the second one was because of the bullmen. They were an interesting antagonist.

Well, I guess I'll check it out whenever it's finished, but the Bioware we grew up with is long gone, the personnel dead or retired.

Now that's a topic I can support! Lighter

On a side note, I'm still freaked out they are using a completely different voice actor for the protagonist (Tommy) in Mafia 1 : Remastered. Nervous

After playing about half of the one after Origins, I gave up because I started wondering why normal fighters even exist in a world where invisible people magically appear as they are stabbing you, then immediately disappear.

Who would ever build normal armies when lesser training of thieves would make for vastly better armies? Cheaper and more effective.

Making progress on microtransactions and shoe-horning as much stupid online crap as much as possible, too, no doubt.
