Former BioWare general manager Arryn Flynn has praised the way Baldur's Gate 3 handled its early access rollout, explaining that that's partly why he would never return to the Dragon Age and Mass Effect studio.
Arryn Flynn is now the lead on enchanting survival game Nightingale and developer Inflexion's CEO, but that newfound responsibility isn't the only thing keeping him from returning to the storied RPG company. Months ago, Flynn said he absolutely "wouldn't go back" - and now, he's said exactly why.
"I think the frustrations are, in many ways, due to the ramp and pace that the industry is evolving at," Flynn said in an interview with Gamesradar+. "Nightingale as a game has many live updates. We're benifiting hugely from connecting with players through that process, and that was something that was much harder at BioWare. Creating a story-first game means that, well, how do you do that? And evolve the story and not spoil the story? That's a tough problem to solve."
