RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

[Edmund Spenser]

I genuinely wonder how much of this backlash against Avellone is literally because the Codex broke the story.

 

[ZagorTeNej]

Not to mention that why would an AAA project manager want to hire Avellone in the 1st place? They don't make RPGs anymore and their target market doesn't care or can even recognize good writing or creative design.

Ask Ken Levine! http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...rarchies-and-more.121588/page-55#post-5593560

His lore is amazing. :D

Ken Levine is no longer AAA.

Honestly you guys' should be upset at Chris for coming here and airing their dirty laundry like that. Not at some guy doing his civic duty by reporting this shit. It is what it is, but since this is the internet, this shit is entertaining.

Nah you should definitely be upset at beta orbiters who take things way too seriously and decide to act on behalf of someone else. He even namedrops MCA & adds a screenshot of the post as if the cringe wasn't enough.

Like I said it was in good fun, besides I doubt the guy has the balls to go through it.

The impression one gets from these posts is that Obsidian is riddled with Avellonian moles/sleeper agents who are feeding him information and will be ready to strike when he gives the command

Josh Sawyer. That would explain why Avellone never writes his name on the Codex :].

Exactly. No one expect that MCA and Balanceguy are working together.

The cover he made for BG3 is beautiful as well:

Wow. This cover is better than BG 1 and 2 games.

Chris Avellone since my question was buried, I'll link it here: RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More
TL:DR: /copy & paste^/ How would you describe Obsidian's relationship with SEGA? Considering Tyranny's... alleged fund mismanagement... would you say similiar thing happened with Alpha Protocol?

Man, I wish there was some FAQ, or a tutorial on how to use this fossil of a website.

There is actually a rules post that is extremely easy to find and has all the info you need bro.

Great job, Bester. You've caused a massive derail in the thread, distracting everyone and burying any posts that ask inconvenient questions about why Chris Avellone finds Josh Sawyer literally unspeakable.

Omg thank you man.

Okay, I now know the rules. Cool beans.

I'm just gonna stick to lurking instead.

Don't,we need stupid posters to remind us how superior we are.

Don't we have you for that?

 

[AwesomeButton]

in fact a lot of people here on the 'dex were upset about the relative lack of words coming from the other companions

That's because a lot of people here on the 'dex are retarded beyond the possibility of help.

I'd rather have companions with little and next to no writing, if the alternative is some pink-haired, nose-piercing wearing hack invading my interpretation of a character with her shoehorned "tackling of important issues" and morals preaching.

Anyone sane would make the same choice.

Until you guys keep saying it every 2nd page. Wouldn't be surprised if Feargus, or his wife, are reading this thread and are going to demand to see Josh's phone come next week. Josh was already stressed and gaining weight before, now he's being suspected of being super secret agent man.

Okay I now know how to tag, but how do I rate?

:thunking:

You must ask the four raptors for permission first. Don't approach Darkunderlord until you've received permission from the first 3, or bad things happen.

This part doesn't explain how to earn more ratings for use. For me it's still a mystery.

Meh, fuck him. Fuck anyone who bought into this person's bullshit. Literally got scammed.

You can't blame a man for wanting to get his nut.
