Josh Sawyer isn't known for his great sentimentality. It's all in the game, yo.

But yes, the question of who will be The Creative Guru on this game is an interesting one.

One thing: I don't think the word "writing" captures what makes a game like FO:NV great. It's about ideas - factions, quests, themes. Writing is just one of the tools with which you implement them.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
So everyone is ugly and old now? Finally, a game focusing on the horrors of getting older. :incline:

Dropped.

Where are you seeing the dwarf though? I'm guessing the bottom right bearded guy but he just looks like a normal human.

I'm seeing this :

All males

You can see that the artist isn't quite comfortable with putting the wide noses on the ladies.

Josh Sawyer's going to show Ken Levine what's what by making a black person killing simulator.

Well one of Josh's fav games is Hitman Blood Money, so his fascination with murder isn't surprising.

At least you know he'd make sure you were properly balanced before he stuffed you and added you to his murder gallery. That's the sort of care and attention you just don't get from most serial killer devs.

I wonder when the first codex lp will use the topright portrait.

He looks very distinct. Sharp ears, but without the face markings of Aumua. Some other subrace?
Looks like amauma, same eyes. Anyway seems they gave up for good trying to make aumaumauama faces look visually distinct from humans. The PoE portrait art was very confused with how they are supposed to look, I guess they're all blue/yelllow people with negro features now.

I don't see the difference between these Aumaua and the ones in PoE, to be honest. They just look less weird with their mouth closed, that's all.
