Larian’s AI AMA Is Tomorrow—But Fans Might Ask About Romance Instead

Larian Studios’ CEO Swen Vincke is set to host a Reddit AMA on January 9 at 5 am PT/8 am ET/2 pm CET to address AI’s role in game development.

The session follows backlash after Vincke’s Bloomberg interview at The Game Awards 2025, where he described AI experimentation as a tool for ‘automation of tasks nobody wants to do’—including motion capture cleaning and voice editing.

Despite the controversy, community sentiment suggests fans are prioritizing gameplay details over AI ethics.

Questions about Divinity’s combat systems and romance mechanics dominate the thread, with one user noting ‘questions about generative AI are largely absent.’ Vincke’s remarks on AI handling ‘grindy tasks’ have not shifted focus from the game’s core features, which remain central to the discussion.
