Brent Knowles is a writer, programmer, and game designer currently working at Beamdog. He worked at the role-playing game studio BioWare (Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, Dragon Age) for ten years, during most of which he was a Lead Designer/Creative Director.[1]
As a designer, he feels that party control and tactical combats should be huge factors in a role playing game. Dragon Age II's departure from that made him realize that he would not be satisfied with what it would be.[2]
Brent eventually left BioWare in September 2009, to pursue writing. He has been published in a variety of magazines including Neo-Opsis, Not One of Us, On Spec, Perihelion Science Fiction, Tales of the Talisman and Through Blood and Iron. He has had articles published in Dragon Magazine and Pyramid.[3]
