Standin' pretty. In this dust that was a city.
Way to milk an employer. Bum around for two years, and leave before producing anything so you won't be around when it comes to recap. Then again, it takes a specific kind of employer to spend money on figureheads. An even match I say.

Still, for all the shit flak he's getting, "The Arl Of Redcliffe" questline in DAO he supposedly wrote, was one of the best in that game...

To be honest Gaider's tale is a tragic one. He did a lot of location and encounter design for BG2, made the Ascension mod which massively inclines ToB, and even after becoming a writer for Bioware did design work for the :obviously: Pop Demand Mod for Vicky 2.

But for some godforsaken reason Bioware decided the best use for him was to make him a writer, which is something he has never displayed any aptitude for whatsoever. Now he is an instantly hated name by people with good taste, but it didn't have to be this way.

Gaider's written some of my favourite characters in rpgs over the years, while he has certainly erred in recent years and become embroiled in the larger socjus vortex I wouldn't say he has/had no talent at it.
