Dumb OP, that's clearly Robin Williams.

Why are you posting a picture of a heavily photo shopped Rob Schneider?
Zoe Quinn thinks he's a genius.
>>337602297
Came here to post this.
>>337602418
He works for Larian Studios and is writing for Divinity OS 2.
>>337602831
Who cares? Zoe Quinn probably likes some of the same food and video games you enjoy, does that mean those are tainted too? Dumb little faGGot.
Came here to post the ying to his yang.

My absolute dream game would beThe Van Buren we never gotwritten and directed byChris Avellone, Josh Sawyer, and Brian Fargo.
Life is suffering, guys.
>>337602094
Overrated genius. He has some good works but the cult of personality around him is unbearable.
>>337603485
just balance my shit up

What the fuck am I reading?

I love Zoe Quinn
don't you dare associate me with niGGers

Is it bad I found this fascinating?
>>337604168
The problem isn't balance but encounter design. That said, I can't think of a single Obsidian game with memorable and challenging encounters.

JUST BALANCE MY GAME UP, SENPAI

I'd be inclined to agree, I sometimes praise him because he was in fact the only good part about obsidian studios shit show and now he's gone.
>>337604315
No, but he clearly has some kind of obsession going on with this balancing thing.
>>337602094
I thought that was idra

Nothing wrong with a bit of freelance work.

wow what a spreg lmao
>>337604315
It was a good talk, but lacking details in actual mechanics design imo. I like Sawyer overall, I don't agree with every design decision he makes, but he's good at presenting his reasoning as of why he makes his choices
He wrote Torment. This man gets a lifetime free pass in my eyes.
>>337603525
looks like a troll to me

>spend an hour talking about balance
>the balance is notoriously shitty anyway
At least Arcanum had lots of stats
>>337606403
It's pretty good as of 3.0 patch! All classes are useful and good at something.

He's a talented guy in a sea of talentless "idea guys" and has had his career consistently weighed down by shitty programmers.
At least he clearly has passion for his work.
Overrated genius buy at least he's much more humble than his fans.
>>337606858
>has had his career consistently weighed down by shitty programmers
That's bullshit.
>>337606871
True.
>>337606813
That video is terrible even if the main point is true.

I meant to link 1:23:42, it doesn't show if you have embeds enabled

>That's bullshit
Great counter-point dexter. Anything else you want to contribute
>>337607240
You made no point, you just regurgitated an ancient "Obsidian has bad programmers" meme.
>>337606152
Did he write it or direct it
>>337606067
Nothing he says translates to the actual game though
definitely hack. everything he writes is the same shit.
>"misunderstood genius" character that lectures the party
>muh gray morality
>words words words words
yet thematically the games are shallower than metal gear solid.
>>337607334
It's slightly better than the "Publishers are at fault for everything wrong with Obsidian games" meme.
>>337607334
Obsidian, and other companies he's worked for, have released buggy games that otherwise had very good elements to them. It's not a "meme" whatever you are implying with that, it's a known fact. You clearly are too lazy to even discuss the topic so I'm out.
>>337607954
>>337608029
Obsidian are notoriously bad at scope management. Their programmers are fine. They wrote Onyx engine, and Onyx engine games they made were some of the most stable games by them.
>>337608029
It's absolutely a meme, because anytime bugs in Obsidian games are brought to light games made by Bioware/Bethesda on the same engines suddenly don't matter
>>337607778
the fundamental concept of the talk, the removal of dump stats, does apply to Pillars of Eternity. There is not one stat in the game that is completely, utterly useless for any class; any class can and does benefit, to some extent (relative to the purpose of the class), from any stat.
>>337602094
He's good. His writing's pretty hit or miss though.
>>337602094

reminder that sawyer is a hipster fruit that hates beer
>>337611463
He's also a vegan.
>>337602094
unironically one of the more intelligent people in the industry
>>337611463
dont bully his autism
Unambitious genius. He worked hard ONE TIME in his life, on Torment. And that was it.
Maybe that was all the mojo he had.

I think they make a cute couple
Anyone else agree?

Ty, been looking for that picture.

How come such a talentless slut is able to talk and sit beside MCA?

did she ate the whole cake?
Haven't played Quantum Break, does it at least have an alright story?
