Then he finally said ‘Okay, we’re going to make Baldur’s Gate.’ I was just like, ‘Okay, but what are we really working on?’” “He said, ‘I can’t tell you until you sign the contract.’ I just said ‘Dang, okay,” and I signed. “When Swen first told me, ‘Here’s your contract and the NDA,’ I asked, ‘What are we working on?’” Smith recalls. Just a couple of years later, he got an offer from Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke that was hard to believe. After nearly a decade as a writer and editor for Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Smith moved from reporting on games to writing them. Not long after those Baldur’s Gate adventures, Smith transitioned into the (arguably just as adventurous) world of video game journalism.

Now that the first new Baldur’s Gate game in more than a decade is set to hit Steam Early Access later this year, players are feeling more nostalgic than ever for the iconic series. When it comes to a series as legendary as the Baldur’s Gate franchise, every PC gamer and Dungeons & Dragons fan has a story to tell about their first experience with the ’90 RPG series that put developer BioWare on the map.
