Yet another senior employee has left BioWare in the middle of Dragon Age 4's development

jkfdeolfjlfg.png

Things continue to change, over at BioWare. Following major departures that have been impacting the development of the upcoming Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, yet another employee has left the company. Mac Walters, known for his writing work across the first three Mass Effect games, and the current creative director over Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, is departing BioWare after being there for nearly two decades. This is the second creative director to leave the project, after former BioWare employee Matt Goldman parted ways with the company at the end of 2021. The game itself has had a tumultuous development cycle, with the entire game being reworked from the start in 2018, three years after its initial announcement, while over half a dozen veteran Mass Effect and Dragon Age writers and staff have left the company in the middle of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf's development.

This is not the first time Dragon Age has caused massive complications over at Bioware... in the book "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" it was widely documented how Dragon Age: Inquisition was a massive problem for the company in terms of development and leads. It's a series they just don't seem to know what to do with, exactly... they don't know how much they want it to be Baldur's Gate vs. how much they want it to be TES/Skyrim.

From the man's message, he parted amicably. Probably he has been grabbed by other company.
It would be newsworthy if there was a firing or other cause.
Like it is, seems to be something that was already in the works.

At this rate this game is going to go through the Duke Nukem Forever treatment.

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary

    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
