My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
No commentary on his looks (I'm an ugly fucker too), but I'm hopeful this will lead to a slight incline with the writing in future Bioware games. If nothing else, maybe they'll fail horribly in new and exciting ways.

Dorian was not only the Dragon Age series' first gay cast member, but the first to be included in any BioWare game.

Not remotely true. The first gay male character you could romance in DA yes. But DA had other queers like that blacksmith couple in DA:O, ME3 had romanceable Steve. The first gay romance in a Bioware game was Juhani from kotor.

he wrote for characters like HK-47

Wait, WHAT?!

Korriban as well as Carth, Bastila, HK-47 and Jolee Bindo -- I did the initial design on Tatooine, before it was handed off to Luke, so I know a fair amount of what went on there as well.

Korriban's a pretty swell area imo. Plus Gaider has the honor of being the one to write the Sith Code. That's Star Wars canon.

I'm hopeful this will lead to a slight incline with the writing in future Bioware games.

They have a tried and true formula, his leaving changes nothing, just like it changed nothing on the titles he wasn't involved in.

Nope, she wasnt a romance option, it was implied she was lesbian.

Jade Empire did have gay and lesbian options.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Juhani#Romance

An error in the first release of the video game allowed player-characters of both male and female genders to access the Juhani romance sub-plot, leading some people to believe that Juhani was bisexual, but the error has since been corrected and the romance sub-plot restricted to female player-characters. Juhani's romance sub-plot is still available to male player-characters via fan-made mods

Where's that? Didn't see it on twitter.

It happened a long time ago, the format should have given it away.

They started trying to include it with KOTOR, included it with Jade Empire and subsequent games, but generally kept it minor until Dragon Age Inquisition, their first flamboyantly LGBT game, where the LGBT content was both heavily advertised and emphasized in game.

he wrote for characters like HK-47 in Knights of the Old Republic and then served as the lead writer of Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark, his first project in that role.

Wait, WHAT?!
He also released the Ascension mod for Throne of Bhaal. I still remember how - after finishing with BG'2 boring vanilla combat - my character got turned into a pincushion by the improved Illasera, since I wasn't expecting any difficulty.
edit: I think he did the improved battles part by himself.

Nah, as long as there's profit in it EA will gleefully rape Bioware's lifeless corpse for years to come. :dance:
