Darrah's comments concern Casey Hudson, who is leading the game at Arcanaut Studios. According to a post from Pirat_Nation summarising Darrah's remarks, Darrah believes Hudson may want to move away from BioWare's sometimes "self-indulgent" writing and return to a simpler hero's journey.

He was more definite on one point. Darrah said he is confident the game will be very good at cinematic storytelling, though that too is an expectation rather than something shown.

These are one former colleague's expectations, not confirmed design decisions. Neither Arcanaut Studios nor Hudson is quoted in the material on story structure, dialogue systems or how the game's narrative will be delivered.
