I'm starting to think maybe Swen Vinke doesn't understand Generative AI and his motives might be less than innocuous.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.

"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

I don't think Swen has learned anything. No, Gen AI. Even if it is trained on your own data. You don't know why it isn't art.

I have a video for you all today about Dragon Age, open world design, and how we often mistake the root causes of problems with the games we love (and hate). Check it out!

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

Another great video from this bizarre echo.
My November video is finally out at the end of December

If you have three and a half hours to spare you could watch Avatar: Fire and Ash, or you could watch me talk about one of my favorite games

With this new information I have no become a Yellow Brick studios shill. They have no flaws whatsoever and are literally the best studio ever.
Nope. The closest thing we use is traditional “text to speech” to help time and pace dialog before it goes to the actors, but that’s the kind of tech that’s been around for years, and not generative.

I fucking love Josh Sawyer man. I may disagree with him on voiced protagonists but man he has the integrity like no one else.

Its very sad to know I won't be playing Dark Hersey or the Expanse game because of them using AI in the concept stage. It just taints the whole work entirely. Because I know for a fact that none of the visuals of either game were made with human intent.

No actually artist likes AI. The only ones who like it are the people who don't care about art, or aren't threatened by it.
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Like man come on. Larian was on top of the fucking world. They could literally do anything and people would eat it up because they trust they had human creativity on their side. But now? That's all fucking gone.
consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Based and true.
EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 17, 2025 at 8:04 AM
What a great way to kill so much of the hype. Because you know for a fact that this isn't just concept artists. Other developers will be replaced. Mark my words.

Its probably just me but when Larian does all the gore and spectacle it comes across as "This is all style and no substance." Why is it happening here? What is the meaning? I feel like so many people who played DAO who love Larian didn't understand that DAO.
bad year for fantasy game enjoyers who dont like gore, let me tell you

I can't help but think this really is just a desperate move. His studio closed down and now what is he supposed to do? I guess just make a Kotor game. Which I don't know. Something feels off about this.
So Casey Hudson's Humanoid Origin closed last year due to lack of funds and now the new studio he's with started in June 2025 and they already have the Star Wars licence for a new game?

Hmm.

There's no way there's any form of game currently. Just a vertical slice.

Its so weird how these people's life revolve around things they hate.

Telltale games take the adventure style gameplay and imbue it with as much good writing and voice acting as possible. Using the format to deliver such interesting stories. Man I have missed them as well. Glad to see AdHoc did so well.
I cannot blab enough about how i missed Telltale style games, this just give something that most games these days dont, im so excited for future AdHoc projects and the future of Dispatch. What an amazing game, what a bunch of incredible performances, deff top 3 games for me this year. PLAY IT!

This is one of the reasons I don't like Morrigan. She is rude to me. I don't want that.

But that is me thinking of Morrigan as a person and not someone to conquer. Because let's be honest dudebros think they can turn her good.
It always amuses me how much dudebros simp over Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins when she is pretty openly hostile toward men.
