Dragon Age 2 - Interview, Part Three, David Gaider

Bitmob posted their third and final part of the interview with David Gaider.    In this final interview, he talks about his favourite characters and if he thinks videogames are art - or not.

First, a quote about characters when asked by Lucia Garcia, about his favorite charaters.
Here's one of them:

I remember Alistair actually is one in Origins who I really enjoyed writing just because -- most people don’t know this -- we had an entire version of Alistair where he was this grim, veteran warrior. An older and just a very serious type who was distrustful of you, and he wasn’t much fun.

Nobody liked him because he was so untrustworthy. We really wanted to set this up as a romance interest as well as a good buddy for a male player, and it wasn’t working.
