Wow, that's a lot of stuff. I'm confused as to why none of it showed up on the schedule, though.

Right on, thanks for the link. But mainly I meant I was confused as to why none of it was on the official schedule on the PAX site.

As far as I know, it's because it's not programming that is chosen by PAX. Bioware has their own space to provide their own programming. The PAX Schedule only deals with programming that went through the pax panels process. I could be wrong, but I think I'm not.

I think you're right, it's probably the same thing as with Wizards. There was not much info about them on the PAX app, but their website had a bunch of stuff.

Wizard, Bioware, Gearbox all rented rooms and doing their own schedules. But damn, A weekend of Dragon Age... I am crying tears of Joy

Ah, that makes sense I guess.

Thanks for the post! Looking forward to stopping by their room/panels.

I this post. I had know idea there was this much BioWare content being offered... Thank you!

SwordMage

This made a friend of ours the happiest person ever. She's a large ME fan, and we originally told her BioWare wasn't on the schedule.

Dolarrah

50% of Pax spent in this room with Karin, Mike and Chris.. Does it get any better? No, at least not without Bioware getting a restraining order

Didn't get to spend as much time at the BW Base as I'd like, but the Saturday costume parade was a highlight for sure. Anyone know if there's a decent gallery of all the entrants? Lot of good work being shown off. Also wish I would have made time to talk Dragon Age multiplayer with the guys right after. They really seemed interested in getting everyone's unvarnished opinion, like your notes might have an actual path back into the game! Which, who knows if that's true, but they made it sound that way, which was great of them.
