NWN 2 Beta Signup

I'm a writer, or, more formally, non-technical designer. Storylines and dialogue and extremely complex ways to break epic storylines down to:

1. I'll be happy to get your magic acorn back.
2. I'll get the acorn, but it won't come cheap.
3. I'm selling your acorn to the necromancer instead!

I did some work on Dragon Age, and now I'm happily at work on "Unannounced Project", which is a very popular software title these days.

I occasionally mention it on the blog. Not often, because I don't want to be called into the office to explain why I accidentally let slip the big twist at the end of Mass Effect, but every once in awhile.

Oh, and apparently if I wanted to be a Beta Toolset tester, I just had to ask our Live Team guys, which is pretty cool.

*open-mouthed awe*

*meek* Can you get me a job?

Seriously, I'm totally jealous of that line of work. Who knows if it pays well, but if it was above slave labor, I think I would love to work in the video game industry.

Is this the big top-secret hush-hush upcoming BioWare MMORPG?

I you can't answer this, I'll understand.

RW: Yep. I was preparing to be a stay-at-home dad in California because I had a piddly nonprofit job when the little dude arrived, while my wife had a really great technical job. On the day we got home from the hospital, I got the e-mail from BioWare asking if I'd like to do a phone interview. Kind of a big day all around.

It meant moving away from my family and losing my wife's really huge tech salary, but her job was a nice job, while this was my dream job (and lest that be misread, my wife said directly to me, "This is your $%##$@$!ing DREAM JOB! Of COURSE we take it!").

CrusaderX: I'm not on the MMO. Anybody on the MMO is working down in Austin, TX, and I'm up in the land of snow and public healthcare working on a different unnanounced project.

For the record, even we up here in Edmonton haven't been told what the MMO title is yet. We're all understandably pretty interested...

Yeah, taky - just nod so we'll know.
