Dragon Age setting creator David Gaider is pitching a heist RPG that’s ‘make or break’ for his studio

David Gaider, the creator of Thedas and the Dragon Age series, is developing a new RPG centered on a crew of rogues performing heists. He chose not to engage with Dragon Age: The Veilguard, released in 2024, due to concerns over the challenges faced by the team and constraints from Electronic Arts. A review by PC Gamer praised The Veilguard but noted a lack of ideological conflict, which Gaider believes is essential for character agency and authenticity in games. He critiques the trend of creating agreeable companions, advocating for complex characters that resonate with players. Gaider expresses uncertainty about his new project but desires to focus on creativity rather than studio management pressures. He is open to revisiting the Dragon Age franchise, envisioning a return to its roots with darker storytelling.
