What part of that picture imply there's a beef? Or do you think "tips hat" was actually meant as an offense? Not everything in the world is revolved around 4chan memes.

The only one that Avellone is mad at is Sawyer, hence why he quit Obsidian because he got pissed off people changed and cut his writing.

>>324122927
Avellone was supposed to write 4 companions for the game and chunk of main story.
Sawyer cut out 2 of Avellone's 4 companions and cut out Avellone's main story writng entirely.
He then proceeded to greatly cut the dialogue of the remaining 2 companions because Avellone's companions had so much writing they made others look like garbage in comparison.
Guess what, despite all the cuts those 2 companions STILL have the most dialogue and are the most intersting in the game.

Made me want to throw up. Otherwise, well written character.
>>
>>324123062
Durance and Grieving Mother are his in the final game.
He was also making two more, a monk and a female cleric/warrior. The former got cut but added in the expansion but with completely new writing by Sawyer since Avellone's version was considered "too problematic" and the woman cleric/warriior got removed because, I shit you not, she had plate armor with boobs. SJWs bitched VERY hard about it on both the forums and kickstarter so Sawyer decided it's better to cave in to their demands and remove her from the game.
I can post how they looked if you want.
>>
>>324123169

Wasn't the plate armor with boobs something that happened to Divinity Original Sin though? Also yes, please post them.

"Too problematic." I want off this wild ride. People are so fucking stupid, if its a fantasy game, what's wrong with shit being problematic? Aren't we supposed to have things that challenge us in multiple ways? Why does everything need to be within acceptable parameters? Why even play video games, just go hide in your fucking hug box safe space.

No, Original Sin didn't have plate armor with boobs. It had plate armor bra, which also triggered SJWs (but was still left ingame and only removed from promotional artwork because the dev knows SJWs don't play games lel)

>>324123680
May I ask what happened between that response and now?
>>
>>324123662
The new version of the monk added in White March is credited to Sawyer and Ziets and has very little dialogue, just like all the non-Avellone companions, which makes it very obvious it ain't written by him anymore.
And the new monk is not problematic in any way, he's as safe as you can get. A grumpy old man that likes drinking.

>>324123741
Kickstarter and PoE happened. Either SJWs finally got to him (through how much "Feedback" he got due to PoE being crowdfunded), he finally snapped and unleashed his power level or a combination of the two.

Anyhow the bottom line is that there are no talented people left in Obsidian outside of Ziets.

You know, for me mocking some of Avellone's more pretentious dialogue, I'd honestly prefer it more than some of the driver we got in POE.

At least you could tell Avellone put though into his writing, even if I personally found it obnoxious sometimes.
>>
>>324124040
Avellone's goal is not to make companions that must be likeable, but rather complex personalities, which Durance and Grieving Mother both are.
Meanwhile the rest of the companions feel juvenile in comparison.

Did anyone? There was no point to it. It had terrible execution. Just look at how everything is behind at least 4 loading screens -- fast travel to stronghold, that's one. Enter building in stronghold, that's two. Do what you're there to do, shop, sleep, whatever. Exit building, that's number three. Then leave, that's four.

Four fucking loading screens. Awful execution. And as you racked up save files, loading times skyrocketed. By I got to endgame I was having 20 second screens.

I have never seen a game do this before, but when you have enough save files and you start the game up, it has to load in all your saves. The main menu says it's loading in your saves. It's ridiculous. Icewind Dale 2 was better than that.

Nah mate. Nah. Armor is designed the way it is for a reason.

Ultimately, game designers shouldn't be afraid to make what they want. If you want to make boobplate, chainmail bikinis, plate bras, or whatever, it's totally fine. Just fucking do it. Don't quit because some people whine about it online.

>At this point, it's probably 1am or 2am, so I look up pictures of Felicia Day looking fancy on the internet, and whisper, "One day. One. Day." Then I go to sleep in my shrine composed of Felicia's hair and fingernails, bought off the internet for reasonable sums. It turns out Felicia sells them as a sideline business and as a way of getting the address for future stalkers for police review. Who knew?

What the fuck Chris

Almost everything he says is pro-SJW, yet the Obdsidiots pounce on >>324123495 as if it somehow makes him anti-SJW.

Guess what plenty of SJW shit has rape in it, I guess Jesscia Jones is anti-SJW too.

Why arbitrarily be realistic about some things and not about others? That logic fails.

The armor isn't realistic either. Standard armor was typically fitted to the person wearing it and the designs that they tend to use when they go "realistic" would have irreversibly damaged the torso of a female.

The Unity engine doesn't handle save files itself. You can use C# to write or read data like you would in any other application. However, there's popular plugins designed to make it very easy to save entire scenes, which may have nasty side effects like those.

>>324130935
No example of SJWing has been posted though. Only sawyer's "this is kinda what I think" statements, which doesn't mean he's enforcing them without any discussion. You should try to read more, so that one day you'll actually learn how.

So basically, Avellone doesn't have a problem with Fargo, but doesn't like Josh Sawyer at all?

I can see why /v/ doesn't like Sawyer already, but what's the consensus here on Avellone and Fargo?

Considering that George Lucas absolutely hated what they did in KotOR II, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they had been blacklisted from future projects involving the IP.

The entire point of The Sith Lords was to question the morality of the established world. Lucas had a fairly hands-off approach to the games(in particular the KotOR games because they were so far in the past they couldn't fuck with his stories), so he didn't really know WHAT they were doing story-wise. By the time he actually found out(that they were doing grey jedis and pragmatic sith) he was furious.

Never really seen threads about PoE on /v/. But after reading this discussion I'd like to know /v/'s general opinion on the game. Is it even worth playing. A was never a fan of these types of games to begin with. I've played Fallout 2 and Planescape torment. And thought that maybe I should try PoE. Should I abandon the thought and just play BG or NWN instead?
On a related note should I plae enchanced editions of BG games or just stick to the originals? I don't mind installing patches manually, but maybe ee added something of value.

>>324135584
But he's literally talking about what he wants to write.
If anything, your attitude is the one which could stifle creativity and expression.
>>
>>324139761
It's a custom party dungeon crawler with no story. If you liked combat in Baldur's Gate you'll enjoy Icewind Dale.

Pretty good.
Great but unfinished.
Never finished it, great multiplayer scene though.
Main story is a bit shite, haven't played the expansions.
Really cool setting, but the combat's awful and the potentially interesting morality is let down by Bioware being Bioware.
One hell of a flawed gem, just reading the name makes me want to do another playthrough.
Really liked it, but again Bioware morality.
Still liked it, even if it completely ignored the first game's plot.

BG1 has some mediocre writing from time to time but BG2 is great.

>>324134053
Everything about PoE is bad

like there isnt a single good thing about it.

Its beyond me what went wrong in the development., there are so many little things they could have doen to improve the game greatly developers did back in the day like coloring the fucking areas differently so that they don't look a copypaste of each other

If it had a bethesda stamp on it i would have thought they made it
>>
>>324140252
>>324140964
I also remember people saying that stroy wasn't NWN1 biggest strength. And I personally liked story in KOTOR2 more than in KOTOR1despite the fact that 2's story wasn't even finished.
That's why I'm sceptical about Bioware's writing skills in general.
>>
Avellone flat out said he left because Obsidian basically wouldn't give him enough power and let him boss a team around. So basically the cucks at Larian are easier to bully and have no problem letting him take a shit on the Divinity setting.

Josh Sawyer is the cancer killing Obsidian.

They need to give Tim Cain control over a game. He's far more talented, and being gay makes him more SJW friendly than Cucksawyer anyway.

What is Obsidian even working on now?
