Here are some more newsy bits and baubles that I didn’t touch on in the last post because they did not exist yet, at least in my solipsistic view of the universe.

• On the Bioware forums there are some nascent tools available for DAI modding for those interested. Since this is a game where the player has a voice, the only thing I’d personally be interested in adding are background scenes and atmosphere NPCs who dish out one-liners with no response from the Inquisitor. There are a couple in Skyhold, for instance, that you click on and they have about a dozen sound files set to random.
• Anna Castiglioni did a mock radio show  interview with James McLauchlan complete with Skyrim ad breaks to help promote her mod.
• For those waiting on audition decisions, I’ve made a few but I’m waiting to confirm some stuff like mic checks and things of that nature, will be sending out emails shortly.
• Podcasts might return soon as well, I know at least Alice and I ran into a snag during the holidays and never got a chance to record. I’ve pretty much abandoned the idea of a regular schedule though.

I’ll probably be releasing 3.09 as soon as the new follower Treads-the-Ashes is finished and voiced, which includes all the minor roles and things of that nature. Trailers forthcoming.
