If you're hyped for the return of Morrigan in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, it seems you're in good company. Larian boss and Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke says he was in love with the RPG genre's quintessential witchy woman.
"I was in love with Morrigan in Dragon Age," Vincke tells BAFTA, and really, weren't we all? The shapeshifting sorceress throws her ire on pretty much everybody around her, but those goth mommy vibes are tough to resist. A decade-and-a-half later, her character archetype seems to live on in the likes of Baldur's Gate 3's own Shadowheart and Lae'zel, and I can't help but wonder if Vincke's Dragon Age crush informed the modern game's party. Or, more likely, society has simply elevated to the point where we've rightly begun to love women who hate us.
