Finally. Fuck this faggot, not that Bioware is saved or anything, it is dead for ages now. But still, I hope he retires and get the fuck out to suck gigant unicorn dicks.

2016, oh what a joyous year!

 

[Athelas]

I hear Obsidian had a recent opening for a lead writer.

 

[Noodles]

Don't worry you'll still have gay romances.

 

[Somberlain]

I'm fairly sure that this doesn't make nuBioware any better or less incloosive.

I wonder if this means trouble in paradise for their unannounced new project.

As for Gaider's future: FREELANCE WRITING PARTNERS

In all seriousness, Avellone narrative design with Gaider combat design would likely be a winning combo.

Isn't this really old news? Wtf

 

[Mustawd]

Tweet was posted today. You're slipping Iranaeus III. Your predecessors were much quicker on their feet.

I think he announced he was going to leave a while ago. He just left for good now

 

[Infinitron]

No, he's confusing Gaider's departure from Bioware with his departure from the role of Dragon Age lead writer, which happened some time ago.

 

[Excidium II]

Ah that's right.

Visual novel with excessively elaborate writing about homosexual alien couple running from evil wolves incoming.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

And quit he did.

That's it. Since I'm here, what did he do in the time between?

Dragon Age lead writer leaves BioWare after 17 years
Helped create studio's first gay character

David Gaider, the writer behind popular BioWare games like Dragon Age: Inquisition andStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, has left the studio after nearly two decades. He announced the news himself in a tweet.

Gaider confirmed that it was his choice to leave in an email to Polygon. "It was indeed my decision, one not made easily since BioWare's been very good to me, and the parting is amicable," he wrote. "It's simply time to move onto a new challenge."

"As to where I'm headed next, that announcement will come in due time — today's about saying goodbye and packing up," he added.

Gaider's career in the gaming industry began back in 1999, when he was enlisted to work on Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. His designs for the Windows PC RPG gave way to bigger roles and projects; 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.

He went on to work on and design characters for each of the Dragon Age games, starting from its initial release. He also wrote Dragon Age: The Silent Grove, the companion comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, our top game of 2014, saw the openly gay writer designing a "fully gay" character for the first time. Dorian was not only the Dragon Age series' first gay cast member, but the first to be included in any BioWare game. Gaider wrote about his interest in and experience with creating more inclusive games back in February of 2014, prior to Inquisition's release.

We've reached out to both BioWare regarding Gaider's departure from the studio, and will update accordingly.

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

 

[Excidium II]

Did they put a photo of him with his infamous toupee on purpose?

 

[Irenaeus III]

Write a gay writer, be fired. I hope the lesson is learned here, queers.

 

[Fairfax]

Should have the toupée as well.

EDIT:
From the codex:
