VGS 52 – CEO of Beamdog Trent Oster on Transgender Characters in Baldur's Gate
This week on VGS….
We examine the ever changing battle between the authorial right of creators and the masses. Should the public have the right to ask more from game devs? Should they listen.
…..NEWS OF THE WEEK…
It’s comparison time! The first complete trailer is out for Gears of War 4 and the verdict isn’t set in stone. Would a tonal change ruin the franchise? Some say yes, Andy says stop it.
….FEATURE INTERVIEW….
It’s a game 17 years in the making! A new Baldur’s Gate is HERE! Beamdog has released Siege of Dragonspear and it’s not without controversy. A transgender character in the game was changed, CEO Trent Oster explains why- should he have caved or was it progressive?

About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple YouTube show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a YouTube destination. Welcome to VGS.
