Normandy FM

Haven is being attacked, and the Inquisition with it. This week we meet Corypheus as the Inquisitor, and talk about his first impression as the main villain.

Also we reach Skyhold, deal with the weight of being deemed the Herald of Andraste, and maybe we'll even meet an old friend in an unprecedented scene for the Dragon Age franchise.

As a bonus, we also talk about Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster rumors to close the episode.

Enjoy the show!

You're getting two episodes for the price of one this week, folks. As we've got dealings to make with the mages...and also the templars.

In pursuit of an alliance with the mages, Kenneth and his Tevinter boyfriend are getting into time travel antics. Meanwhile, Eric is guided by a mysterious spirit through his own headspace after he attempts to recruit the templars to the cause. We go through both routes, talk about the fallout, get heated about the way Dragon Age ended the mage/templar war so unceremoniously, and also talk about all the Open World Bullshit.

Enjoy the show!

We've reached the final Dragon Age season (for now) and the sky is literally being torn apart. Dragon Age: Inquisition begins with a hole in the sky pouring demons into Thedas, the complete dismantling of the Chantry's systems, and a new hero at the center of all of it.

In our first Inquisition episode we talk about how the game is an achievement in Bioware-style role-playing, a middle ground between Origins' tactical play and DAII's action-oriented combat, and maybe dip into how it might have been the beginning of Bioware's current identity crisis.

At the request of a listener, we asked if there was interest in us doing a special Q&A episode, and as it turns out, there definitely was. As a thanks for all of your support, we sat down and answered some questions y'all had about Bioware, video games, our jobs, and at one point someone asked for our social security numbers.

Enjoy the show!

It's time to close the book on Dragon Age II. For better or worse.

This week we get into how Bioware never really managed to sell the two-sided conflict of Templars and Mages, and how that really gets exemplified in the final fights.

We also talk about whether Hawke was ever the protagonist of Dragon Age II, how the game fits into the large scope of the universe, and whether or not Bioware can pull off a story of this scale again.

Enjoy the show!

Double Fine's Harper Jay joins us to talk about the most controversial, frustrating, and fascinating characters in Dragon Age II.

Merrill and Anders' conclusions are complicated, and are thoughts on them are equally so. Merrill's not ready to give up on the Eluvian, and Anders is asking us to help with a potion to separate him and Justice...right?

We're here to close out Fenris and Isabela's stories this week, and I guess we can also throw Sebastian in there because that's about as much care as Bioware gave him.

Isabela has heard word that Castillion is in Kirkwall, and Fenris' long lost sister just arrived in town, too. It's time to settle some affairs as we head into the end game.

Also, Leliana is here. For some reason.

We've reached the final act of Dragon Age II, and things are...not looking so hot for our podcast's darling as the story's weakest points become blatantly apparent.

This week we're running errands for Meredith and Orsino while also realizing how little we've gotten to know these major players. We'll also get to check in real quick with an old friend, though we're not sure exactly how we feel about his inclusion.

Enjoy the show!

Ty Galiz-Rowe returns to walk with us in the Deep Roads once more. This week we're talking Dragon Age II's "Legacy" DLC, and all the messy ramifications it has for Hawke, the Darkspawn, and Dragon Age at large.
