From The Edmonton Journal:

“It’s like a journey into the past, but Beamdog has a lot of plans so I don’t think I’m retreading old ground necessarily,” he said. “But even then, those are fond memories for me. Baldur’s Gate II was the first game I’ve ever worked on. I was kind of thrown into it and now it’s 17 years later… It feels very invigorating to shake things up and try something new.”

Beamdog Welcomes David Gaider

 

We're very pleased to welcome David Gaider to the company as our new creative director. Originally we advertised for the position of senior writer, but when David contacted Trent about the position, we upgraded the role.

David is well known for his design and writing work on Baldur’s Gate 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins. He brings 17 years of experience to our little team and we couldn't be happier to work with him. David will lead the writing team and direct new creative endeavors for the company.

Welcome, David!

Starting a new job: 25% paperwork, 25% documentation, 150% confusion. I definitely need more stuff on my desk.

Some news: I must sadly announce that, after 17 years, today is my last day at BioWare. I'll miss my team, and wish everyone here the best.

 

Cameron Lee ‏@Cameron__Lee

Cameron Lee ‏@Cameron__Lee

I'm sad that @davidgaider is leaving BioWare, he'll be greatly missed! Rest assured that development on #BioWare's New IP continues unabated

 

David Gaider ‏@davidgaider

And it will be awesome.

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.

Has he been head hunted? We will se - but good luck David.

Fare thee well, David. Thank you for all you have done for BioWare.

[Aren]

David Gaider thanks for your work.

[Hrungr]

While this is, well... dismal news , I wish him all the best wherever he goes.

[Rowan]

Thank you David for the worlds, the stories, the characters, the books, the emotions. Sad to see you go, I hope there's room for one more follower in your next adventure.

[nightscrawl]

He wrote my favorite character of the series.

 

  is all I can say.

It's so sad to say goodbye to a fine lead and writer. Thank you for everything.

[lynroy]

I was completely shocked when I saw it pop up on my twitter feed. Really wish the best for David, he wrote some of my favorite characters.

[Reznore57]

I wasn't surprised when he left DA but this I didn't expect.

Don't really know what to say , thanks for the good work and hopefully this is not the end of his writing career.

It's been a pleasure to work alongside you all these years. Even when you told me to blow up my first plot

[Dancing_Dolphin]

I think I'm gonna be sick. Ugh.

[Milana]

Good news.

[themikefest]

Very surprised

[robertmarilyn]

[Karai9]

Wow, I can't say that I saw this coming.

I will miss your great story writing and amazing characters, but best of luck to you Mr. Gaider

[Dancing_Dolphin]

What happened? This is so depressing.

[Aimi]

This is bittersweet. Hopefully he'll still be doing something that he likes. But I don't know if I'll ever be able to use this gif again.



End of an era.

[Hrungr]

I wasn't surprised when he left DA but this I didn't expect.

 

Same here. Especially since he's was on the ground floor developing a new IP, I figured he was a BioWarian for life...

[FKA_Servo]

Ah, man... this is sad, unexpected news. David made a hell of a mark, and he'll be missed. He's a great character writer and one hell of a world builder. I just hope he got his hands all up in the new IP.

 

And I hope he stays in games! I look forward to whatever he's got next for us, all the same.

thank you David for the amazing stories and characters you and your team created.

 

Cori Nicole May ‏@genevrael

The first thing we worked on together was Korriban, in KOTOR. It's hard to imagine life at work without him.

[Aren]

He wrote my favorite character of the series.

Well in all fairness my favourites are from Weeckes and Mary Kirby

My twitter feed is a bit overwhelming at the moment. Thank you to everyone for the kind comments.

[Teddie Sage]

As one of his fans for a few years now, this is breaking my heart. I hope he'll still write us many tales to come, wherever he'll go next. I feel like hugging my Dorian imaginary plushie right now. *cries ugly*
