To be Chris Avelonne, to be in the same conference than Fallout 76, to be drawing Fallout doodles and on twitter...

... and to work on Dying Light 2. :eek:

Imagine Chris coming up to the Microsoft stage, and he goes:

Okay, I was supposed to speak about Dying Light, but I thought there's something else very important you should know. I want to talk to you about this person. This tyrant, this ruthless despot who has been ruling over the company I loved for years, basing all of his decisions on nepotism and self-interest. Now, please take the leaflets I left under your seats...

Grab the Codex by the pussy Pathfinder: Wrath
Did they specify what his role is? I mean going by himself to present the game in E3 should mean that he is more involved than his previous projects

Seems to be his role is male supporting actor but if it goes on like this he'll need supporting himself.

Optimistic version: he's a narrative lead for the whole thing and if Avellone working on a post-apo game doesn't give you raging boner, time to line up for Viagra prescription.

Realistic version: he wrote one companion which will end up being heavily edited and they send him out to present at E3 purely because it's much better marketing to have even chubby Avellone reveal your game than some anon from Potatoland.

He prolly gave limited help designing C&C/reactivity stuff, not writing much for it.

He's giving away Obsidz' trade zekretz!

Hey Chris Avellone, if you have a moment, can you give us a rough sense of much input you’ve had/will have into Dying Light 2?

Because if it’s substantial, I will buy this thing even though I haven’t played a zombie game in twenty odd years.

How bad can it be guys?
Better than Fallout 4,worst than Fallout 3 ?!

With an actual capable writer? Better than both. Dying Light was quite good action game with talent trees, just horrible fucking dialogue most of the game that made me skip most of the dialogue. If them Poles have actually learned from their mistakes with the 1st game, it should be worth getting at some point.

I knew the Codex was gonna make a lot of comments about his body and how sexually attractive he is. Never change, guys. We're definitely in the front lines of the fight against the homosexual agenda.

The first Dying Light is one of the best action games in recent years. It's writing isn't great but the gameplay and atmosphere is phenomenal. That formula with proper writing and reactivity could be top tier.
