Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Daedalos]

Or busy working with Fargo on the secret Wasteland 3: Tales of Van Buren

 

[Jaedar]

Neither of those have been hurt by publishers.

It's probably just some insider-knowledge thing.

Yeah, pretty sure its "hurt by employees" not hurt by other companies.

 

[Roguey]

Yeah, pretty sure its "hurt by employees" not hurt by other companies.

How could a game developer be hurt by employees, they chew 'em up and spit 'em out.

Unless we're talking a Ferret Baudoin-mismanages-NWN2-and-then-leaves-for-Bioware-in-the-middle-of-production situation, but Obsidian walked into that one by making him lead and it would have likely been worse had he stayed and the project not been saved by Josh.

 

[Infinitron]

Leaks?

 

[Rostere]

"I have officially left Obsidian Entertainment to accept a sudden opening as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts."

Well, that makes sense now: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35313604

 

[Roguey]

Avellone shills for garbage.

The $500 tier gets you a butt plug.

Loved this part:

What’s all this about diversity in videogames? Why should I care?
Because games are for everyone! It’s something we feel strongly about, and we’re trying to be a positive example in that regard. It’s not a focus of the story in Resurgence, just something we wanted to be mindful of with our world and characters. If the idea of more diversity in games is new or strange to you, we highly recommend checking out the Extra Credits series. They have a fantastic series of short videos discussing why diversity is so important for future of the hobby we all love.

Because games are for everyone! It’s something we feel strongly about, and we’re trying to be a positive example in that regard. It’s not a focus of the story in Resurgence, just something we wanted to be mindful of with our world and characters. If the idea of more diversity in games is new or strange to you, we highly recommend checking out the Extra Credits series. They have a fantastic series of short videos discussing why diversity is so important for future of the hobby we all love.

The future of Fallout from someone who isn't remotely involved in what that would be.

 

[Fairfax]

And also someone who's barely played FO4. He loves to talk about the series, though.

 

[J_C]

And also someone who's barely played FO4.

You say that like that is a negative. Not being tainted with that piece of shit just makes his opinion more valid. Unlike many Codexians who talk shit about the game, but they are sucking to F3 and F4.

jesus christ what a worthless fucking l1brul game

yeah that's exactly what i want to do in an rpg, to play a nigger tranny faggot

Players choose their character’s tribe, sex, gender identification, and skin tone. We also hope to achieve a respectful representation of characters through appropriate functional clothing and armor design. We’re planning for a variety of romance options and relationship choices to represent all walks of life.

Why they always try to shove their lgbt agenda down our throat?

Check 1:54:40; could Chris be working within the WoD license?

It was definitely a wink.

Ouch. I mean, not a surprising answer, but still...

Also:

Just one more thing: in several interviews you mention a style guide you wrote, and it sounds immensely useful. Is that a general guide available somewhere or something specific from a previous project?

On the Style Guide thing, there's been a lot of random discussions about it lately, I may end up posting one for a specific project (although it would include general ones/rules as well). I've written about 5-6, I think, and they date back to the Black Isle days when we first used them to standardize text (we kept iterating on them, so they've grown over time and depending on the project).
It's one of the Creative Leads jobs to write the guide so every writer knows the conventions, hopefully before they start writing - and QA can use it as a testing plan for text bugs.

Can't resist the spell of Todd.

Well, Avellone is overrated anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter where he works.
