Remember when I said that the things that MCA actually writes about game design aren't really that un-Sawyery? There's another example of that.

But still no mention of Sawyer in any of his interviews

why why why

Zed: Well-endowed women: This was not my decision, I am very much of the "Crazy Jane from Doom Patrol is the epitome of what makes a female/male fantasy NPC intriguing to me.

Poor Zed, tried to bait a classic SJW response.

But the answer he did get is delicious.

Jane Morris is the dominant alternate personality of Kay Challis, who suffers from multiple personality disorder. As a result of exposure to the alien Dominators' "gene bomb", each of her 64 alternate personalities has a different super-power.

Always knew Chris was into crazies!

I also believe the reason he left Obsdian was simply due to feeling creatively un-fufilled with all these projects giving him opportunities to work on strange and exciting things it makes sense why he'd want to dedicate more time to that than just working on publisher pitches.

I kinda hope that is the main cause after hearing about the family stuff.

Pursuing a Full-Time Position: Family matters preclude this, unfortunately, and it was hard enough to cope with dealing with this while at Obsidian, which is part of the reason for the departure.

Hopefully it doesn't last much longer :salute:

That's not Chris. Chris is Turn up the Radio in Alpha Protocol and Do You Really Want to Hurt Me in Wasteland 2.

Personally think that O Superman by Laurie Anderson'd fit with Numenera, or maybe something weird by Art of Noise.

Remember first hearing Culture Club singing "Do you really want to hurt me?" on TotP, me father looked out from behind his paper as Boy George sang title refrain and said, "Yes!" Thought that were pretty witty for an old bastard.
