The Beamblog announces David Gaider is now a Beamdog, as he has hired on as the new creative director at Beamdog, the folks behind Enhanced Edition remakes of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and Icewind Dale. They are currently working on a game set between the two Baldur's Gates, and we've seen speculation that they may eventually make Baldur's Gate 3, and it's worth noting that David worked on Baldur's Gate 2 while at BioWare. Here's word:

We're very pleased to welcome David Gaider to the company as our new creative director. Originally we advertised for the position of senior writer, but when David contacted Trent about the position, we upgraded the role.

David is well known for his design and writing work on Baldur’s Gate 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins. He brings 17 years of experience to our little team and we couldn't be happier to work with him. David will lead the writing team and direct new creative endeavors for the company.
