Wait, "former" writer, have they left?
I remember being abit concerned about Larian's next set of companions after reading that lecture (or atleast, your transcription of it).
Yes, in the article I cited ("How the Baldur's Gate 3 bear sex scene came to be, and why it's "a watershed moment in game history") this author is mentioned as "former Larian writer Baudelaire Welch". You can also see their start and end dates at Larian on LinkedIn (I don't think I'm allowed to link to it as it might be considered personal information, but you can find it if you want to check). I myself used to think that I would never buy a new Larian game, but now it seems to me that there is no need to worry about our companions in the next game. So the new Larian game I will now buy, and hopefully enjoy it, Larian themselves have always made good games, and I like everything about BG3 itself except some of the romance aspects. It's very good that at least the most traumatizing content will finally be removed from the game, and in the next Larian game I hope the romance will be cleaner and better.
