Whatever you think of modern Bioware, I don't think David Gaider leaving will change much.

Old Bioware died long time ago, some time after DAO and ME1.Like his style or not, he was all but the last vestige of old BioWare left. The company is really a shell now, a name only.
I'd already left the 'fandom' of BioWare due to DA 2 and the ending of ME3 - not due to writing, but to game design choices - and the open world nature of DA:I just cemented my decision that BioWare didn't make games that I loved anymore.
Gaider leaving (and I wasn't his biggest fan, but I didn't hate the guy either) just kinda is the capstone on the end of a BioWare I cared anything about.

I didn't really care about the inclusion of alternate sexualities in RPGs like DA2. I just wish there had been a global controller for it in the game options or some warning up front, rather than discovering it during the cut scenes. (Kind of an eww moment for me--not exactly PC thinking, I know.) Anyway, good luck to Mr. Gaider.
Inclusivity? Sorry, I thought it's called partiality when someone pushes his personal sexual agenda.
To me the surprising thing is how long a lot of these people in the gaming industry say in one place so long. In a world where three to four years seems the max at any one place.
Well, I can understand very well if writers cling to their job like a leech. As a writer, I believe you can and should be very happy to be employed at all. Hundreds, if not thousands, of aspirants are lining up behind each writer, dying to take their place. It's not a position you give up easily unless you either have to or can afford to. If what Gaider said is true, and he was not fired, then he must have a really good backup plan apparently.
