@davidgaider - I will miss you, faux husband!

 

David Gaider @davidgaider

Does this mean we are now faux separated? Sadness.

 

hilary h shapiro @hilaryheskett

- Never. The faux will never fade!

.@davidgaider and I have been friends ever since he walked into our office singing the Elephant medley from Moulin Rouge, and I joined in.

No words in the vernacular can describe this great event. :)

I'm not surprised. His creative freedom was a bit limited after awhile, sadly.

 

He'll probably be happy somewhere though.

Well in all fairness my favourites are from Weeckes and Mary Kirby which was  responsible for writing Ser Cauthrien, Sten, and the majority of Loghain Mac Tir, she also wrote the Landsmeet quest line and large sections of the Chant of Light.
As for Gaider who knows what happened with this new IP?

 

 

Good for you? What has that got to do with fairness? Why did you even reply to my post this way? I said he wrote MY  favorite character. I didn't extend it to anyone else or claim that it applied to the entire player base.

Dave's writing was why I wanted to work at BioWare in the first place.

 

@davidgaider It was an honor to write for you, sir.

 

@PatrickWeekes High praise, but BioWare is the better for it. :)

This is sad news indeed.

 

Wherever he goes next, I wish him well.

From the Polygon article: http://www.polygon.c...e-gay-character

 

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.

Just FYI, the article quotes David as saying,

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.

 

 

 

And... omg David with hair!

 

 

[edit]

Er... ninjaed. ;) Thread moving too fast for me, apparently.

Someone will need to mop my ugly tears because I'm flooding the basement again with my sadness.

Don't leave us in suspense, man. Tell us where you're going next so we can follow that project obsessively too

When I started at BioWare I was thrilled to be working there with David. I have so much respect for him. All the <3.

 

@annlemay Thanks, Ann. :)

I genuinely might start ugly crying over this. David was responsible for some of my absolute favorite characters of the series and it won't be the same Bioware without him.

A great, great storyteller. While we will feel the loss of his voice, we treasure his teaching us to find our own.

 

David Gaider @davidgaider

I didn't have to teach you much. And you will be awesome -- go get it.

 

Jay Watamaniuk @JayWatamaniuk

IT IS VERY DUSTY IN HERE

Good riddance)
Maybe they'll hire someone talented this time.

 

I'd take him over what's there any day.

 

It'll be worse without him. edit: Well, besides Sheryl Chee. Afaik she's still writing DA.

I wish him the best.  He wrote some of my favourite characters in the games.  Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment that the Dragon Age games have given me, Gaider.

I'm amused that's the picture you're using. Heh. Also -- Dorian was not the studio's first gay character. Just mine.
