Would Mass Effect Andromeda’s writers be considered senior staff at this point?

That’s what I was wondering. This may not be a terrible decison.

Edit: because I didn’t read I was wrong

From the article:

As part of its recently publicised cutbacks, BioWare has “let go of” Lukas Kristjanson, the lead writer behind Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, and the writer of the first three Dragon Age games, Mary Kirby.

I didn’t even think they had anyone from the BG era still there.

Imagine having the same job for 23 years and then going “fuck you bye”.

There is no social contract anymore.

I wouldn’t mind it, typically that level of service comes with redundancy pay. Depends where he was based, if he was working in the US then he’d probably be left high and dry, because US employment is shit.

Could’ve been a mutual decision. They may have taken the hot because they were already thinking of leaving at some point anyway. That sort of thing happens sometimes.

Lol I don’t even have to imagine that. It’s funny you point out 23 years because that’s exactly how long I worked at my previous job before moving on in 2022.

Dude could be getting a severance package over a year long at this point, I don’t know if that’s a “fuck you bye”

The good ending.

The fuck? Hope he gets hired at Larian.

Writers, who the fuck needs them, eh?

It’s not like writers ever made Mass Effect good or anything. I mean, something something Reapers, big whatever.

Well, now I can’t tell if the writing for ME was good or bad

How hard is it to write “pick a color”?

Depends on how much you get to crunch.

They don’t care about the quality as long as it’s passable most of these people are underpaid anyway. AAA setting the bar lower and lower is nothing new.

Silverseren, rok temu

Well, surely this is a good look for future game prospects and their level of writing quality. Surely...

Oh. Bioware disassembles itself.

Experience doesn’t matter to companies anymore. They’ll get college hires to do the role and reward them for mediocrity

The time of the LLMs is upon us. Settle in everyone, it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.
