Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 57: Mark Darrah on BioWare, Dragon Age 4, & EA's Impact
Added 2022-03-02 17:01:03 +0000 UTCMark Darrah spent over 20 years with BioWare and has overseen its many incredible RPGs such as Baldur's Gate, Knights Of The Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and most notably on his portfolio, Dragon Age. He was also present during the pre-EA era and experienced much of the changes within the company after BioWare had been purchased by them in 2007. Today, he joins the show for a sobering conversation on the status of this once beloved gaming titan after speaking out in a recent YouTube video of his on "BioWare Magic" in which he holds the developer accountable for their bad processes. The conversation goes into deep waters no other outlet has reached yet, so we do hope you enjoy our biggest interview yet.

2022-03-02 23:42:38 +0000 UTCAbsolutely fire episode! You guys are killing it! Question though, everybody seems to forget that Mike Laidlaw has also left BioWare and was I believe at a similar hierarchy as Darrah during DA:O and 2 (possibly inquisition as well, unsure about that one). I would love to know more about what happened to him as well. Anybody have any idea?
