I watched this a while back on the GDC vault and found it quite interesting- I wish most of the BG3 talks they did for GDC weren't gatekept behind the crazy expensive subscription, woof. There's plenty of really interesting ones judging from the titles.
If you guys go on the GDC vault I also watched one of the 3D artists talk about her and Larian's process when it comes to creating the head meshes. Pretty cool. She made a new head from scratch for it, I believe, I haven't seen it in the game. (I wonder if they'll reuse that asset for future games)

That talk was very interesting — it also showed how huge the scope of the branching story is.

Thanks Wormerine! Really cool video which answers a longstanding question about the discrepency between characters’ positions in cut scenes and in gameplay. (It’s a pipeline issue; blocking characters independently of in-game coordinates helps position cameras and lights automatically).

Also, I’m going to steal “My raw material was ambiguity, my goal was processing this into clarity.” I’ll repeat it often and never quote the source (that would muddle the message).

Edit: There’s an interesting audience question about scope, whose paraphrased answer is: “When is enough enough? Only Swen knows”. I’d give quite a bit of local currency to know how Mr Vincke makes that determination.

yes it shows why Larian can't finish their games... chaos is great for bringing in ideas but lousy for stable rulesets
