Bioware walked so Larian Studios could run.
Something I find interesting is that Larian has actually been around since 1996, only a year after BioWare was founded. Divine Divinity, the beginning of the Divinity series worldbuilding (and one not based on an existing IP the way BG and SWTOR are), came out in 2002 (the same year as NWN), still very much in the golden era of classic RPGs.
Obviously they remained a much smaller studio for a long time, but I think a fair bit of that can be attributed to the fact they didn't get taken over by venture capitalists and eventually notoriously ill-reputed corporate giant EA. It meant that Swen Vincke continued to gain just as much development and leadership experience as other legendary industry figures, but with full creative control and no corporate leeches breathing down his neck over quarterly profit margins.
So really, I'd say it's more "BioWare sprinted, stumbled, and ate shit so that Larian Studios could step over their bloated corpse and win the race, Tortoise and the Hare style."
we’re gonna be ok btw
it’s ok if you’re scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but i’ve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if you’re scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through
i’m enough of a nerd to see when a weapon would be impractical but not enough of a nerd to give a shit
Scythe Wielder: *Shows up in a media*
Me: You know, scythes were designed for reaping grain, not combat. Yes it is bladed so it could be a weapon but not a very efficient one.
Scythe Wielder: *Does that badass scythe stuff*
Me: Hot damn that’s cool.
"damn I'm crying over an insect" "why am I having such strong feelings over how the sky looks" "it's weird how happy this small thing made me feel" THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE!!!! you live on this earth. everything all the time is an experience, no matter how common or mundane. this world is unique. so are its small moments. it is good to enjoy a tiny thing. you love the world even at its smallest scale.
