Of course they are. BG 1&2 EEs sold shitton, so IP owner suits are probably pleased with Beamdog's performance.

Robyn is an RPG development veteran with production credits on Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I guess for me and probably quite a few other people here using the word 'veteran' followed by that list of modern console games seems anachronistic. I haven't played any of them and don't plan to in the near future.

Whatever the case, I guess it shows that she's worked on big projects before that have actually shipped. And some of those games made money I'm sure. Whatever role she played in 'Project Management' I have no idea and she might or might not be competent.

To me it just seems weird using a term like 'veteran' and 'RPG' in that context. But then again, maybe I'm just old.

Keep in mind they also pushed their own store/solution really hard for both games, so I expect the numbers are a fair bit larger than just what steam shows.

Why would they want to do that? Is Beamdog going to become BioWare's Steam competitor?

lol no

When Beamdog was originally founded, one of their main missions was to launch a digital game store. In fact, that's what the "Beamdog" brand name was originally for. The Enhanced Editions were developed under a different brand name, "Overhaul Games", which they've since stopped using.

The EEs started out as Beamdog store exclusives and were only released on Steam sometime later. Hard to believe they sold much there. Like many of Beamdog's early initiatives, it was crazy naive, but not as naive in ~2011 as it would be today I guess.

And even now there are hushed whispers that these same people are trying to make an actual game.

They've already picked cleaned a local cemetery for the raw parts.

Their diversity quota is on point.

They've the sheer brainpower behind Dragon Age 2.


All that's left is the need for a pliable news poster. Someone thirsty.

My joke turns out to be real.

It sounds like dream coming true.For years i dream of a game that lets you run around killing waves of oppressed minorities and liberal pissbuckets.Now i will be able to do it with fire magic.

We’re happy to announce Robyn Theberge has recently joined our merry band as Project Manager! Robyn is an RPG development veteran with production credits on Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Great. Beamdog's new game is probably going to be the best D&D faggotry simulator ever. Quasi fantasy, leftist propagandistic, Bioware style faggotry simulator.

:dgaider:

That was a warning, Beamdog. Don't fuck it up (you will).

You'd think having DA2 and ME3 and DA:I AND ME:A on your resume would be the death of your career but apparently...

So, we could assume they are using the 5th edition ruleset, right?

Because $$. They got a bigger piece of the pie that way.

As for how many more copies that equates to, no idea. (Not that Infinitron knows either, but hey whatever). My point is that Steam is not the whole story. Steam + own PC store + iOS and Android versions = the whole story. :)
