>SWTOR releases in the early-2010's
>Everyone on /v/ hated Jennifer Hepler for her writing contributions
>Years later, they hail SWTOR to be a true successor as a "Kotor 3" and all class stories having good writing
>Problem is, she wrote all the class stories

Why did Millennials and Gen Xers bitch and moan about her? All the class stories were actually good. She said like one stupid thing about wishing she wanted to skip all gameplay and only focus on story. Was her hate that deserved? And no, someone said they removed her writing that's not true.

Jennier Hepler did nothing wrong.

Watching people revise history is fun, up until the point you realise they're not doing it intentionally.
They genuinely have such atrophied standards that they see it as better than what they're used to and give it a pass.

No one is revising history. And no one is talking about Ambrov. I've been on here for years and I continuously see people saying SWTOR has a good story (except for the expansions) which funnily enough, isn't the story that Hepler wrote.

It basically was a steep decline from what people expected of bioware and shown the beginnings of writers inserting their "own vision" while ignoring the base product.
Going "it wasn't that bad yet" is like wondering why people were complaining that the bus was steering towards a pool filled with shit just because the short drive before crashing in it wasn't that bad.

Because she said something incredibly stupid about "old white men" referring to fucking Tolkien.
I frankly don't have an opinion on her writing, I just think she said something incredibly daft.
I gave Miyazaki (the Ghibli one) the same level of shit when he said stupid shit about LOTR.

DA2 was bad and her interview in it was cringe but she sounded like a pretty unapologetic female gooner which is rare today. That said from what I've seen the only TOR questline she wrote on was the Smuggler which is one of the worst.

You're right. She did the smuggler story and did random writing sporatically on different planets in SWTOR. Also did the silver quests. She is a senior writer but in some websites they scrubbed her name out of it because of the harassment.

Which makes it even funnier, because if she didn't write the majority of SWTOR writing then she really didn't even fuck it up in the first place. Her only controversy she stirred was some stupid shit but had nothing to do with her writing. And somehow it snowballed in her ruining SWTOR.

da2 released and was shit, people were looking for a target to vent their frustration at and a dumb looking fat woman is an easy go to for when you're a teenager/college kid. the reality is that hamburger helper did nothing wrong but bitter autists will never admit that because that would be admitting that all the time they spent on a chinese cartoon forum 14 years ago was a waste of time and the existential crisis that would cause is too much to handle.

keksimus
only the imperial agent was universally acclaimed as "good" and that "good" is set against the standard of MMO stories of the time (like WoW)
and even then much of what made it good was the novelty of a cloak and dagger story without involving the Jedi/Sith and Force shit. Its what make people like Mandalorian/Andor nowadays, sometimes you just dont want to deal with the midwit pseudo-religion of Light Side/Dark Side that Lucas perpetrated
and: news flash, much of what made people like certain routes over the other was more on the companions, and its exactly what made Baldur's Gate 3 so prominent: sex fucking sells. Give the player the pretense of a relationship with a fictional character and they will slurp it up, no matter how good or bad the rest of the game is
I rest my case so dont bother replying.

What happened is that /v/ was flooded with r*ddit faggots with low standards. We tried to tell them to go away by saying things like "Shut the fuck up faggot" or "Go back to r*ddit" but they thought it was some kind of funny joke like "haha 4chan you're so wacky" when in reality I just thought they were faggots and that they should go back to r*ddit. Fast forward to now and r*ddit faggots make up most of board excluding bots, shills and illiterate indians.

It sucks because the only thing that sucked about it was the launch. And Hepler's controversy also amplified it and made the impression it's a shit game. Now, it's fantastic, I consider it a Kotor 3 if you exclusively play the class stories. This game was made pre-Disney, before Disney turned it into shit. Back then, no one liked it. But now that I think about it.. It's really not that bad. Disney 10x has far worse Star Wars stories than SWTOR. Deadass.

Don't be a goddam nerf herder OP. Helper is terrible at anything involving gameplay, by her own admittance.

HOWEVER, she has actual nerd power, and I'd take her on any AAA over the shitheels like the ones who fucked up Veilguard, or AC shadows or dustborn, or Outlaws, or POP, or a dozen other AAA and AAAA pieces of complete shit.

She really belongs in the vn space.

yes, a writer for VIDEO games. The narrative should blend in properly with the gameplay, the interface. The character interaction. See Roberta Williams or Warren Spector for examples of that. Maybe Avelone on a good day vs a bad one.


Her shit is disjointed from gameplay. That's not a complete killer, and it also depends on the game structure, but she's most suited for low or no branching shit like sudo 51.

Smuggler is by far the shittiest story in the game, only even managed to force myself through level one and it was torture.

If there is one, I haven't seen it. Majority opinion in the occasional SWTOR thread is that Operative and Light Side Sith Warrior are the only two really worthy of your time, and I would agree. This is with the huge caveat that the game itself is not good and to only bother if you are absolutely fiending for some Star Wars.
Personally I'd rank BH towards the bottom.

Jennifer Hepler did not write them all. She contributed bits and pieces such as certain quest lines. The main contributors / writers to each class story are as follows:

>Smuggler and Jedi Knight
Hall Hood
>Jedi Consular
Joanna Berry
>Trooper
Charles Boyd
>Imperial Agent
Alexander Freed
>Bounty Hunter
Randy Begel
>Sith Inquisitor

This is a common misconception, and this information can still be found on the SWTOR forums and in various interviews if you search for it. Hepler did contribute to the smuggler story and other quests, but Hall Hood did the majority of the smuggler story, or at least the biggest parts of it. Jennifer Hepler never actually got to take over an entire class story, she only got to do certain quests, NPCs, and a few of the story beats.

I played Inquisitor (I only really cared about PVP) and apparently from those lists everyone hates it.

Unfairly maligned, I think Inquisitor is a distant 3rd place -- not my favorite but still miles above what's below it.

I never played the game, so I can't attest, but back then, she was probably the biggest issue we had with games at the time. Seems so quaint in retrospect compared to all the bullshit going on today in games.

It wasn't about her, it was about having somebody working for a major dev which plainly said they don't like videogames which is something most people had come to suspect since games started collapsing in quality towards the end of gen 7

It really wasn't. The game itself had a lot of issues, crashes, lags, typical first day MMO shit and people were pissed. But now, I think it's hella good.

No she didnt.

The Imperial Agent is the most recognized class story and the guy who wrote it didn't have much to go on as the other classes just copied characterinaction from OG classic characters

Swtor has a bad story. At least jedi guardian story. The launch story was so boring. It was always do x good thing like help weak person or forgive bad guy and then the opposite was the dark side choice where it was always comically over the top.

Yeah, and people still act like it was rumor or hearsay when the receipts have been sitting there for over a decade. Itโ€™s wild how revisionist some folks get just because time passed. That blog post was ground zero for a lot of the backlash. Like it or not, she became the face of a deeper shift in how Bioware wrote characters and stories around that era.

I think that if she didn't have such a dismissive attitude towards gaming at the time, most people back then would have been okay with her. It was the holier-than-thou aura she gave off that rubbed a lot of gamers back then the wrong way.

look up a game with actual reviews that's in the same vein, like oh say the The Witcher 3, 2015, with 750k reviews and 6k of them recent. Or how about the successor to Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, the one that just came out 2 years ago having over 600K reviews. Actual 3rd entries in their franchises.

I don't like the SWTOR players treating the game as if its some gospel for KOTOR3 when all it does is disgrace KOTOR and piggyback off its predecessor's success before becoming just another WoW clone.

I just started a few weeks ago and finished the Sith Inquisitor story and am now playing a Sith Warrior. Inquisitor was OK. I played dark side on that and it was just a fun power fantasy story with a decent-ish story. Nothing really amazing, but for an MMO, it was nice. The Warrior story as a light side has been more interesting so far. It's definitely the most "RPG" MMO story I've played.

I do hate how fucking far apart everything is, though. I wish mounts were faster. The combat is fine if you play MMOs, nothing really to talk about there. It's just WoW.

Oh and the other complaint I have is the re-use of lines that I assume is in all class quests.

"Murder and mayhem await!"

and

"Consider me warned."

Because it doesnโ€™t suck
Itโ€™s the only mmo besides wow where you can find dungeons and pvp/raid or just whatever the fuck
Yeah some of the new writing is fucking bad but itโ€™s got Voice actors and the original stories are pretty good for replay ability. TORTANIC was always a good game with liberal writing
