David Gaider has been working with BioWare on the Dragon Age series since Origins released in 2009, but his time to move on has finally come. No, he isn't leaving BioWare — he is simply moving from his senior writing position on the Dragon Age team to another game.
What game is Gaider moving to? Well, he can't talk about it:
While it's hard to leave Dragon Age behind, 10 years is a long time to work on any one project. I decided it was time for something new.

In the Dragon Age series Gaider was responsible for creating the world of Thedas. In Origins, Gaider wrote in Zevran, Alistair, Cailan, Morrigan, Shale and Duncan, as well as the Nature of the Beast and Redcliffe quests. In Dragon Age 2 Gaider player a huge role in the games plot and creating characters like Cassandra, Fenris and Meredith.
Outside of the Dragon Age games the writer is the author on a follow-up novel to Dragon Age 2, Asunder and wrote Dragon Age: The Silent Grove, a comic series published by Dark Horse.
It's safe to say that Dragon Age has been Gaider's lifeblood, we can only hope that he is as passionate about the next game he's working on.
Now, what BioWare game would need a writer that has worked mostly on fantasy RPG's (before Dragon Age he worked on Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate)?
