These folks at BioWare take themselves awfully seriously these days, don't they?

Neil Thompson appears to be parroting / channeling Matt Goldman, the art director of DA2 and DA:I, who's been blathering about northern renaissance this and Kurosawa that since the pre-release hype of DA2 started.

Oddly enough, Matt Goldman, like Neil Thompson, is a bald, somewhat square-jawed guy. Weird.



By the way, it appears to be basically a repeat of an earlier lecture, I'm pretty sure I've seen Thompson (who seems to be sympathetic enough, BTW) saying the same things and showing the same stuff earlier.

Nice artwork there. Those tarot-card themed panels are marvelous.
