And DA2’s first act might be termed: How to get to Sundermount with speed. Don’t even get me started with Mass Effect: When I romanced Tali I used the Early Recruitment mod to get her as soon as possible in ME2, and planned ME3 in advance to maximize missions with her. (More than people realize!)

Is it most efficient to almost always have two rogues in the party? No idea. But it’s non-negotiable. Where Sigrid goes, so too goes Leliana. ❤️ I’m a Josiemancer! If I can bring my LI along with the party… of course I will! 😂

Let’s keep the positive memories flowing, but this time… let’s think of those characters we enjoy *fighting* with either words or swords/light sabers/omni blades. 😀 Doesn’t have to be primary antagonists! I’ll start! Calivan; a Venatori with such middle manager energy! So fun! #BioWare

It's so cute how Josie gets so like happy and excited for Dheraya becoming Inquisitor that she gets a little embarrassed. She's so into her 🫢

Wow! This really blew up! There’s so many wonderful characters mentioned by all of you! 😊 It speaks to how all these games, and especially to all the many talented people who labored on them, have shaped and influenced us.

Let’s have some fun in here, and a little friendly reminiscing is always helpful when times are hard. So I ask you: Favorite minor npc in a BioWare game? 👀 Who stuck with you? 🤔 #BioWare

It would have been a great game. Can I prove that? No. But it’s what I choose to believe absent anything else. And while in some ways it makes it all harder, it also… makes it easier to find peace with. Even unreleased and unfinished, ME and its talented developers demonstrated their best.

I’m impossibly biased, but this remains the favorite bit of media I’ve fashioned as part of the Dragon Age fandom. 😊 I think it’s because I made it for *me* and my particularities. It’s not professional, there’s aspects I’d change, but my heart is on display. And I love that. ♥️

Next year, when I do my DA series replay after almost a couple years away, I’m planning on living it up. 😀 Poster mockups of my canon, virtual photography akin to my Mass Effect series on @armalicity.bsky.social, and plenty of chitter chatter. Let’s have some fun with what we love. ❤️ #DragonAge

Hope continues to not be embarrassing, and much of what I said here in 2025 applies to Mass Effect in equal measure in 2026.

(Antiva City clambers onto a soapbox) Hope is not embarrassing. You were neither wrong nor naive to have hope in your hearts; whether about elections or even Dragon Age. Those transient moments of faith provide the fuel you need when the sun fails and air grows colder. (1/2) #DragonAge

FemJun on your mind? Ours too. She's coming... soon™. We've got something special cooking for her reveal, and we think it'll be worth the wait. Find out more in the October Community Update ⤵️ www.exodusgame.com/news/october...

exodusgame.comOCTOBER 2026 COMMUNITY UPDATE - An Updated Look at JunGreetings, Travelers! 🫡 It’s been a long haul out here in the Centauri cluster. We’ve been traveling fast, and you know how that goes: a few weeks for us can turn into months for the people waiting at...

I’ve seen the trailer, and while my mind is aware of the nature of a cinematic trailer as opposed to gameplay and so on and so forth… Holy Shit! They nailed the theme. Absolutely captured the essence of Mass Effect. (Assuming it’s real, of course)

I’ll try not mourn what could have been, and instead use it as a jumping off board for my imagination. Think of all the possible adventures! Let your fanfic soar! And my blueberry! 💙

There’s been so many thoughtful, lovely, and meaningful conversations today. Whether among fans, actors, or developers. I haven’t had much to contribute (in part due to the news breaking just before I set out for work) but as low as I felt earlier- this collective outpouring has deeply helped.

It’s another expression of the way in which these interactive stories, these imagined worlds, (or sub creations as Tolkien called them) light a fire in our hearts and provide wonder to our minds. These games have brought me so very much in my life in ways deeply personal. And that doesn’t change.

I think we’ve all eulogized to a degree. But I think what’s most reflective of this community is that there’s also been a celebration of what was- and what continues to be. Let your imaginations continue to soar. Love and courage in equal measure, my dear friends. ♥️
