This is the beginning of the end.At least they're up front about this being a sponsored ad thing. Any money is a good thing as long as it doesn't change how the site works, you know?It IS changing how the site works because now I'm wasting time by clicking on advertisements IN the news section where they don't belong. Pretty much all video game news across all websites, from your friend's blog to TA to IGN, is just advertisements. Everyone reports on the screenshots, trailers, announcements that the publishers do. The only thing that doesn't fall under this banner is reviews.Defend it all you want Mr. Moderator (you're not biased at all, right? ). Doesn't change the fact that TA is selling out, and also disguising ads as news articles. IGN is irrelevant to this conversation because they've been covering movies, TV shows and other things for years. Blogs have NOTHING to do with this either. Why did you even feel the need to post? Honestly, you look pretty sad even trying to relate these things to each other.You completely misinterpreted what he said.Thanks for adding. You're about as bright as he is. Seriously, stop posting when you have nothing to say at all.

Posted on 23 November 14 at 09:35Happy TA are declaring this is a sponsored article rather than pretending it's unbiased news.

Since she is also doing Varric and Iron Bull costumes, I think it would be safe to say that her designs weren't ever intended to match the game completely.
Posted on 23 November 14 at 20:50Live a bit of display, of course not myself actually wearing said costumes, I just appreciate a bit of fantasy injected into real life 'We all make choices, but in the end those choices make us'
Posted on 25 November 14 at 06:08the only thing i have to add about this "sponsored" situation, is that it should have said "sponsored" in the title, so i knew before reading.honestly i didn't notice until i read all the commenters complaining. we're gamers, don't most of us enjoy advertisements about games anyway? if you have no interest in Dragon Age, then why click in the first place? if you clicked you must have some slight interest. personally, i was just curious what was meant by "becomes real".
