When it comes to KCD2, it most likely doesn't matter, considering the fact that Daniel Vávra is still the creative director at Warhorse.
It can replace the very people it's stealing from, in the appropriate conditions. If you draw 100 cool pictures in 3 years and someone takes your pictures and trains some AI on them, they'll be able to swarm the internet with 20.000 variations of your art, and no one will truly know who the true author is. The problem is that we live in the world of "just good enough". So an exec will fire an expensive good writer or artist to replace them with AI gargle in order to cut some corners. It's why you have hilariously terrible localization for Windows 11 right now. Indie company Microsoft decided to cut some corners with machine translation, because hiring actual translators was too damn expensive for their modest pockets. Now you have an absolute hilarious mess, with translated sentences in a literal sense, not accounting for ridiculous expressions, mixing homonyms etc. So no, it won't replace just the hacks, it will affect even the few good ones who put effort into the work they respect because it's all about profits. Expect most of everything you ever liked to be downgraded further from this point onward.
That's not a secret, over 400 people across multiple studios.
It's not like it was a difficult guess. Congrats, and so you have been on BG3 for almost a year already? Scripting quests I gather?
Yep, since September. All major content was already owned by others so I mainly took care of some less important details content-wise. Plus all tutorals. But being a associate lead (local lead in the studio, each has one) also means that big chunk of my time actually goes to non-script work.
Meaning, meetings and giving feedback to others I assume.
It's the equivalent of Chink factory slaves producing dragon dildos all day
All threads are BG3 threads now.
Yup
The controls and camera as far as I am aware are basically identical to DOS2. I have no DOS2 experience with gamepad though. Were you not able to control your avatar with a thumbstick there?
Enjoy the fries. A few ground rules:
I never played DOS2 so I have no idea. But since you are in the thick of BG3 development I would assume you also tried it with gamepad :p
Yes, I'm sure.
Well, you worked on an RPG that did something so much tougher in terms of narrative and worldbuilding. You had to get people interested in a historical setting, in a largely unknown region, with a blank slate main character.
