ITS GREAT but keep in mind the other novels aren't really like the short story collection. More politics less Geralt stuff. Way more Ciri.I read half of the first witcher short story collection yesterday and i think i'm all in on liking the witcher now? at first i was reading it because it's shlocky and light but i'm kinda into it???? help??????
Yeah? What about the other short story collection?ITS GREAT but keep in mind the other novels aren't really like the short story collection. More politics less Geralt stuff. Way more Ciri.
I haven't read them all but I read the first three or four. The short story collections are more game Witcher feeling, but the novels are just a little dense and a little dry. They're well liked though so it's worth giving them a shotYeah? What about the other short story collection?
Are the novels still good? I have em all ready on my kindle
Gonna try play Witcher 3 again I guess...
Interesting. I'm not a huge fantasy person so I wonder if I'll be able to get into those at all. Will try em out anywayI haven't read them all but I read the first three or four.

Has he done anything since Inquisition? I know he left Bioware at one point...by the by I'm now reading the second star wars aftermath book and the characters and style remind me of bioware (david gaider) in all the best ways
he was at beamdog for a couple of years, but that might have been in more of a consulting position IIRCHas he done anything since Inquisition? I know he left Bioware at one point...
The story started changing drastically, too. In early 2015, veteran Dragon Age writer David Gaider moved over to Anthem, and his version of the story looked a lot different than the ideas with which they'd been experimenting for the past few years. Gaider's style was traditional BioWare—big, complicated villains; ancient alien artifacts; and so on—which rankled some of the developers who were hoping for something more subtle. "There was a lot of resistance from the team who just didn't want to see a sci-fi Dragon Age, I guess," said one developer. Added a second: "A lot of people were like, 'Why are we telling the same story? Let's do something different.'"
When asked for comment on this, Gaider said in an email that when he'd started on the project, Anthem design director Preston Watamaniuk had pushed him in a "science-fantasy" direction. "I was fine with that, as fantasy is more my comfort zone anyhow, but it was clear from the outset that there was a lot of opposition to the change from the rest of the team," he said. "Maybe they assumed the idea for it came from me, I'm not sure, but comments like 'it's very Dragon Age' kept coming up regarding any of the work me or my team did... and not in a complimentary manner. There were a lot of people who wanted a say over Anthem's story, and kept articulating a desire to do something 'different' without really being clear on what that was outside of it just not being anything BioWare had done before (which was, apparently, a bad thing?). From my perspective, it was rather frustrating."
Gaider left BioWare in early 2016—"As time passed, I didn't feel keen to play the game that I was working on," he told me—which led to new writers for Anthem and a total story reboot. This led to even more chaos. "As you can imagine, writing for BioWare sets the foundation for all the games," said one developer. "When writing is unsure of what it's doing, it causes a lot of destruction to a lot of departments."
YOU WILL NOT SILENCE OUR CLAIRE DISCUSSIONSThe BA talk is getting out of hand. Just make a separate OT for it already.

Both podcasts are at their best when off-topic imo. Last week's Beastcast was absolute gold.do any of y'all think that they should skip podcast days if there's not much to talk about? Sometimes it feels like both coasts phone it in during these light news months.
I imagine Abbey will limit the poop emails to one...maybe (number) two.
But Abby loves poopI imagine Abbey will limit the poop emails to one...maybe (number) two. She is usually very good at curating the emails for the podcast.
They should form an alliance with BigDickDaddyDom.

Yeah my app downloaded two episodes, presumably one from the premium Bombcast feed and one from the non-premium Beastcast feed.Beastcast is in the wrong feed for me. It went into my Giant Bombcast feed.
