Whooooooa there... keep in mind that it's a woman we're talking about here. We don't want that shit at the Codex after all.
wow
her curriculum is something else
So much for "we are extremely demanding when hiring writers". Is Sawyer the cancer killing Obsidian?

Well, young people need the opportunities. That "to find work you need experience -> to get experience you need to work" vicious cycle must be stopped. She might be shit, she might not be, at the end of the day Obsidian are the ones choosing her, so they like her. It's not like their veteran writers are doing good work lately. Her Twatter pics don't give me hope, though.

That's the mindset I had when they hired Paul Kirsch and Megan Starks. After being disappointed with those two that's why I'm getting a bit apprehensive when they hire someone who's only worked on a dating sim and a Dragon Age fanfic flash game.
(I also tried to look up the reception for those two games on Google, and it seems like literally no one's played either.)

If you mean multiquoting then yes, it's been broken for a while now.

How can she be shit? Just look at that hog nose ring,that tells you she had a rough childhood,those awful tatoos that trully shows what hard core woman she is and finally, she loves anime and that's the best way to pin point a great writer.....and you want to tell me she might be shit? Get the fuck outta here,I can bet both of my nuts that she's going to be great.
She can't be worse than Bioware material, or Mizhena-thats-2bad.
I'm trying out a new approach to playing RPGs where I am able to cope with even the shittiest writing.
Quoting via selecting and "+Quote" is broken. I don't know if anyone cares, as long as we have shitty button ratings.
Edit: Either the conlangs will be good, and I'll get a game with good conlangs, or they will suck, and I'll be able to make obscure jokes about them. Nerd fun either way.

They have one game under their belt, one fucking game. Give them some time, hardly anyone has really impressed with their first game.
It's grimoire man. It and Cleve really have changed our perception of the world.
It used to be fire and brimstone and the grinding of teeth.
After grimoire it is an evergreen glades of warm grass and cool winds, rivers snaking from up the hill and overflowing with sweet wine and trees that bloom everlasting fruits from god himself. There a man can achieve the ultimate peace of mind.
Cleve has saved us all

You have a point, but on the other hand when the cv consists of only terrible fan-fiction or dating sim work (this new writer) and/or you say in interviews that your aim with Tyranny is to "reach the great reactivity of The Wolf Among Us" and your favourite game and inspiration is fucking Fallout 3 (Starks) things are not exactly promising.
Also, Ziets' first work with Obsidian was Mask of the Betrayer, which is to this day their game with the best writing, Avellone's first game was Torment, Gonzalez's first Obsidian title was New Vegas, and even if we look at Sawyer (although he's not a writer) his first game was Icewind Dale, which is not a masterpiece but a good game at least. You could already see some talent in their first works (well, more than "some talent" for Ziets and MCA especially), none of them started with writing Kills-in-Shadows and then went on to write the likes of Dak'kon, Morte, Kaelyn the Dove, Ravel, Kreia, Myrkul, Okku, etc.
