Baldur's Gate 3 lead Swen Vincke "is an unstoppable machine" who "will have engines re-written to make sure that the quality is there," says Fallout: New Vegas dev

Larian is one of the premier RPG developers active today, with 2023’s undisputed GOTY Baldur’s Gate 3 cementing its legacy as one of the big genre titans. That’s a fact not lost on former Obsidian senior designer Chris Avellone, who attributes much of Larian’s reputation for quality to studio founder, CEO, and Baldur’s Gate 3 director Swen Vincke.

Avellone worked with Vincke on Larian’s Divinity: Original Sin 2 as a freelancer, and it seems he learned a thing or two about Vincke’s management style during that time. Talking to Fallout content creator TKs-Mantis, Avellone says Vincke accepts nothing less than the very best for the games he makes.
