Baldur's Gate 3 and The Veilguard - Swen Vincke's Curiosity Fuels RPG Comparisons

In the ongoing discussion about RPGs, the director of Baldur's Gate 3, Swen Vincke, has shown a keen interest in BioWare's latest game, The Veilguard. His curiosity was evident as he began downloading the game amid recent comparisons to Dragon Age.
Swen Vincke, the founder of Larian Studios and the creative force behind Baldur's Gate 3, piqued interest on social media with a cryptic post about a hefty 82GB download, suggesting deep engagement in the RPG community's buzz.

While Vincke didn't detail the exact nature of the download, it's unlikely to be a remaster or unrelated content. Given the size and timing, it's probable that he's delving into Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which aligns with the download's specifications.

The excitement isn't one-sided; Mike Gamble, a senior developer at BioWare who is working on Mass Effect 5, chimed in, wishing Vincke a good experience with his download.

As discussions about Dragon Age possibly relate to its similarities with Baldur's Gate 3, both games mark fresh chapters in beloved fantasy RPG series known for their deep storylines and companion-focused gameplay. This link is underscored by BioWare's foundational work on the original Baldur's Gate series, drawing comments from original developers like David Gaider, the creator of Dragon Age, who was surprised to see his characters reappear in Baldur's Gate 3.

Vincke is not alone in his exploration of Dragon Age: The Veilguard; a publishing director from Larian remarked that the new game resonates with his experiences from developing Baldur's Gate 3.
