Neither the layoffs nor breaking ties with a playtesting company that knows their worth in the market sound like they’re going to help BioWare make RPGs that can compete with Baldur’s Gate 3, formerly a BioWare series.

Wait, when was Baldur’s Gate a BioWare series? That’s the first time I’m hearing about this.
Edit: Well how about that…
The previous two games, 20 years ago. It’s what gave them the reputation of being a studio that made great RPGs. Then they went on to make Neverwinter Nights (another D&D game), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Star Wars with rules very close to D&D), Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age.
BioWare actually made Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 lol
When they were independent with Black Isle.
It’s nothing to do with EA’s Bioware today. Just like how EA destroyed Bullfrog and Origin Systems, etc.
An Visceral. I’m stil PISSED about Dead Space 3.
BioWare made BG 1 & 2 back in the day, and they started Dragon Age as a spiritual successor to their DnD games as I would imagine (and assume) that EA didn’t want to deal with WoTC with getting the license to a DnD game.
So it’s kind of ironic that arguably one of the best games to come out this year is a Baldur’s Gate game as the new Dragon Age game sounds like it might be languishing in development.
1 & 2 were both bioware developed games - including their original expansions.
