Hello! Once again Eurogamer is marking Pride Month - on this, its 50th anniversary year in the UK - with a week of features celebrating the intersection of queer culture and gaming. This afternoon, Bertie talks to the veteran BioWare writer who created Dragon Age and the studio's first exclusively gay party member, Dorian. World, meet David Gaider.
And while we have you here, if you've been eagerly awaiting a restock of Eurogamer's Pride t-shirts, we're happy to report that more - in two ravishing variants - are now available for purchase. All profits will be split between LGBTQIA+ charities Mermaids and Mind Out.
I don't think David Gaider needs much of an introduction. He, affectionately, is mister Dragon Age. He was the one tasked with dreaming up the entire world. We talk about it in this episode of One-to-one. BioWare's James Ohlen apparently gave Gaider a historic atlas and an "off you go".
