Actually, DAI was something of an anomaly because the DA2 expansion pack was cancelled that same summer (2011), so by the time development started, they had a ton of people on Inquisition early (which is one of the reasons the game’s world is so big — arguably too big). Read more

Yeah, I’ve actually changed the headline from ‘Downsized’ to ‘Scaled Down’ to make it clear that people were moved, not laid off. Read more

That’s not true at all. Inquisition started development just a few months after DA2. I know this because I wrote about it in a book that’s coming out soon ;) Read more

Code for a constantly updated online game like Destiny, The Division, and Ghost Recon Wildlands. Read more

Took me around 9-10 hours to get through A, but I skipped most of the sidequests. Read more

Well, the game makes it very clear right away that there are multiple endings. You can even get one if you die in the opening mission. Read more

Nah, reviewers get copies of new games every week and it’s very rare for any professional outlet to break embargo. What’s more likely is that Bethesda wants to have complete control over their marketing message until the last possible minute. Read more

It’s hard to blame anyone for wanting to read a review of a game the day that it comes out. While I personally enjoy reading criticism far more once I’ve played the game in question, I can’t begrudge anyone who wants a timely review of a game’s merits, faults, and bugs. Read more

Yep, that’s what it is. Read more

All three of BioWare’s studios contribute to all of their games these days, but this one is headed up by their home team in Edmonton. Read more

Yes, that’s part of what I wrote. There’s a reason Kotaku doesn’t have a review up yet. Read more

Kotaku has never broken a Bethesda embargo. We were blacklisted for reporting on information that was leaked to us, not information that was under embargo. You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, so why even comment? Read more

Correct. This is more like a new System Shock or Bioshock game. Read more

This is a very good point. It felt like one or two people could play most of the game and everyone else had to watch. Read more

That is indeed fair, although I think everyone who saw it thought of it as a Zelda escape room. It was a little disappointing regardless, though. Read more

I’m playing on PS4 and there’s no input lag. Read more

Don’t worry—I’d never listen to Kirk. Read more

Seconds after posting this article, I found my first gun (a silenced pistol) outside of Morgan’s office, but up until then all I had was the wrench and GLOO gun, which only freezes enemies. Read more

You can be a man or a woman. I picked the woman so I was just defaulting to that. Read more
