The former head writer in Bioware explains how the teams for the two main franchises of the studio worked mostly independently and did not come out.

Talking with Gamesradar+, Dragon The veteran of the series David Gaider claimed that “he has always tried to push our traditional mechanics. And it was not very welcome in the EA,” EA considered these types of “slow and cumbersome” mechanics. He believed that his views “are often not very welcome”, despite his position, a veteran who had a big hand in creating one of the best Bioware series.

Gaider also also claimed that EA felt that these traditional RPG mechanics belong “in the cave”, which was in faith, “where Nerds went. Nerds was in the cave. He wanted, which was much bigger.” AnthemA huge commercial flop that could probably be the result of the attitude that Gaider discusses.

You made RPG and Nerds in the cave would always appear on RPG because it was RPG.

WITH Dragon Age: The Veilguard It is not entirely clear what the future has for the series at the moment. BioWare is currently working on the next Mass effect The game, so it could be for developers to return again after another iteration of its premiere sci-fi franchise.
