AI Summary

Lead SEO editor Lauren Morton interviewed Anders Lauridsen, the lead developer of Skald: Against the Black Priory, as part of PC Gamer’s series honoring BioWare’s impact. Lauridsen said he had tried older, clunkier CRPGs but was too young to fully appreciate them, and his early forays into second‑edition AD&D left him “creatively and intellectually starved” when tabletop sessions fell apart. He credits Baldur’s Gate 1, released during that period, with rescuing his interest in the genre and shaping his later career.
