In todays video, for the first time on camera, @davidgaider.bsky.social explains the reasons why he had to leave Bioware. Unfortunately his words confirm what many of us already suspected.
PLEASE NOTE: David has always spoken well of Bioware devs. This is about EA.

The greatest cRPG villain of all time was cobbled together at the last minute.
In todays video @davidgaider.bsky.social reveals how James Ohlen decided at the eleventh hour to completely reimagine Jon Irenicus' story, resulting in one of gaming's most iconic characters. youtu.be/aKRkwIzYQq4
I think it's definitely a balancing act and it will be interesting to see how devs handle that in the future.

Fans of Arc Raiders are going pretty crazy over Eurogamer giving it a 2/5. Eurogamer docked it several points due to Embark Studios use of AI voices. Personally I think it's fair but I'm biased against AI and I don't care about the game.
Any thoughts?

I really enjoyed the movie and even I though I know it's a long shot, I hope we get Bride of Frankenstein.

10.11.2025 15:20 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Rue Valley is launching tomorrow! A link to my review is below but here's a brief summary:
PROS:
Strong narrative, time loop works well, fluid character stats & it's very well written.
CONS:
Annoying late game quests & ending didn't hit for me.
Overall I had a good time with the game. :)

One of the reasons Baldur's Gate 2 has some of the most memorable spell mechanics in gaming is that @markdarrah.bsky.social was always down to do more. In this clip Trent marvels at his willingness to code Chain Contingency. Full Vid ⬇️
That limit in the ME series was always SO WEIRD to me. They tried to justify it by saying you were in the military but no. Just no.

This interview is a celebration of Baldur's Gate 2. After 25 years it's still one of the best cRPG's ever made. Be sure to subscribe to the channel and hit the bell so you don't miss future videos I have coming out. :)

Final Fantasy 7 was so good that it pushed Bioware to reimagine what Baldur's Gate 2 could be.
That & many other fascinating reveals are available in today's interview with @davidgaider.bsky.social, Trent Oster, & Ed Greenwood. Here's a clip regarding FF7 & the full link is below.
What is the point of yelling at Mike about providing a bigger ME update? Who really thought we were going to get something big today?
I'm not interested in large flashy trailers that don't represent what the final product is like. Good to see Bioware taking their time.
I love Anita but still cannot say you are wrong. 😂
07.11.2025 16:04 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'm seeing a lot of "journalists" provide cover for Rockstar and say that it's clearly unrelated. Absolute hot garbage. They'd rather union bust and delay than pay their people fairly and release the game on time. EVERYONE should be calling out Rockstar for this nonsense.
07.11.2025 16:01 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Ohhhhhhhh yeah I agree with all of that. I divorce my feelings regarding the games from that but yeah absolutely you are not wrong.
07.11.2025 15:55 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I cannot wait to have this game! Owlcat is known for incredible soundtracks and I have no doubt this game will follow that tradition.
07.11.2025 15:36 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I never even considered that but it's such a great point. I'm sick of hearing that Chicago is a hell hole that nobody wants to live in and everything is so much better out in the middle of a cornfield.
07.11.2025 15:35 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hmmm I didn't know you were bitter towards Mass Effect. What turned you off so much?
07.11.2025 15:33 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I didn't hate Avowed but I certainly didn't love it either and as a massive fan of the Pillars world I expected to love it. Hopefully the next one grabs me more.
I also hope this sequel IS NOT being worked on by Sawyer. He should be doing Pillars of Eternity 3. 🤣🤣
I have no inside information but here's what I hope the answer is: Obsidian is moving on because they strongly believe they can make a better game. As an artist it's frustrating to work on something that you believe doesn't represent what you are truly capable of.
07.11.2025 13:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Some people will say it's a sign Avowed flopped financially and Obsidian wanted to quickly move on. That doesn't make sense to me because if that's true then why make a sequel? Sequel's for games that were critical & commercial failures almost never do well.

Chris Avellone believes Obsidian has already moved on to Avowed 2 and I'm very conflicted about this. I enjoyed TOW2 significantly more than Avowed but I still looked forward to where Obsidian would go with it.
This also makes me wonder what are Obsidian's reasons for moving on so quickly. ⬇️
If you haven't already I also highly recommend you subscribe to DM Wyvern channel. There will be a Part 2 for the interview that will go up on his page sometime next week!
