James Ohlen, the creative director behind the original Baldur’s Gate games, is defending the Dragon Age: The Veilguard developers after BioWare’s closure. He says most people on a team that large had “little or no say in the things you disliked about it”, pointing out that many of the devs were also responsible for the BioWare games fans loved. Ohlen also acknowledged that he has his own issues with modern entertainment and political messaging, but argued that people can disagree while still respecting each other. “It’s possible to hold views that don’t fit neatly into anyone’s political camp, and to love and respect people you disagree with.”
