it's such bullshit that a man's life can be ruined from mere allegations. even after those allegations are proven false.
does this happen to women at all? do the women who make these fake allegation face any prison time?

I mean he probably has fond memories of obsidian considering his job there, but they've departed so much from the era where they made the good shit.
He'd have better luck working with inXile on anything right now if he wanted to actually make good games, which still holds a lot of the good segments of the guys he used to work with.

If you look at their most recent catalogue, inXile is the closest to being able to pull off the old flavor of games we actually want out of these guys at this moment.
Its also probably the most likely to even attempt anything despite only landing average success most of the time.

Because the shit he did back in the day actually WAS good, and because of the current talent level, and dickriding circle jerks are so bad.

Take the Veilguard writers who landed jobs at Ghost of Yotei. Or Zoe Quinn who got a job writing on the new Aliens VR game.

Avelone is in the outgroup now as far as the bigs go, but I'd be willing to consider buying any project he's attached. What was the last one he was on? Into the Breach?

I'm glad Avowed didn't end up being an open world game. I'm sick to death of those, even if it's the more RPG type ones.

With that said, Avowed's writing is atrocious. Obsidian has like 2 good writers now and neither one worked on Avowed. So, yeah, it's a 7/10 action game, not a new RPG classic.

Yes. And they're the same tofu eating balless wonders who liked POE2 over POE1. Their marketing sold the concept as that. I would have settled for POE1 the action game, which it wasn't quite either, but it was, play it once, and then forget about it completely.

as long as emil is in the company he will always have official or unofficial veto over the narrative writing since he is personal friends with todd

Avellone, even if forced in by lets say microsoft reforms, would always have a hard time getting anything done. Especially something as spicy as filtering out emils retardation like the 200 year old fridge kid

so why dosent MCA gather a small crew of programmers, gameplay designer and artists to make his own work with full creative control? With steam and gog access to buyers has never been as easy while his name alone carries marketing weight unlike your typical no name indie upstart

like the dude is relatively wealthy he can live for years without doing much payed work

like a single siberian buryat can make a good fallout entry like fallout:Sonora on the ancient F1/f2 engine that is an ass to script on. As a side project. Surely he can do something similar with some small backing.

He should get in touch with Alexis Kennedy in order to find out how he can make it through the ring of fire. Guy was severed from his brainchild of Fallen London, took his missus from Failbetter to his new studio, and ended up mogging them with every consecutive game and forging an even more intense cult of personality. He persevered and came out of #metoo practically unscathed.

>Dead Money is the most "insists on itself" piece of video game writing I've ever fucking seen
Dead money is a killer concept bogged down by obshittian's technical inaptitude. (the ghost people detection bug is actually just a consequence of level scaling, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1gh2J-aEuM)

The only serious flaw with the writing of DM is - surprise surprise - Christine. Who knew eating pussy turns a brotherhood scribe into a master of stealth, unarmed combat, melee weapon combat, explosives expert, firearms expert and energy weapon expert. It also forces the ghost people to HECKIN' RESPECT HER "YAS QUEEN" Mary Sue status and allow her to walk around the Sierra Madre completely unmolested.

Exactly what i wrote down, retard. If you ask Christine about her skills, she lists off stealth, unarmed, melee, explosives, guns, and energy weapons, all at "master" aka 100 skillpoints despite being a fucking scribe. Her good ending explicitly states that she stays in the Sierra Madre and uses her rug muncher Mary sue powers to pacify the ghost people and "walk among them". Something Dean Domino explicitly states he (and many others ) have tried to do for 200+ years and failed, but Christine just so happens to find a way to do it.

She is a brotherhood scribe who abandons the brotherhood and chases after Elijah after helios one because he's an evil old white man who didn't approve of her and Veronica having lesbo sex. I can believe that she being a brotherhood scribe, has a basic level of knowledge on how to fight with all those various weapons, even if she didn't receive extensive combat training like a knight would. I can also believe she has further cultivated those skills in the years she spent chasing after Elijah across the wasteland. What i can't believe is that she is a master in all of those skills and that she can somehow pacify the ghost people.

avellone offered todd directly to make spin offs of mainline fallout and elder scrolls game when new vegas was going on. Seems like bethesda didn't like the idea. so they bought a b-tier studio making a fps flop and had them make Flopout 76 with all the fanfare it bought

There must have been some really bad blood between the management of the companies to ditch this obviously winning formula with NV era obsidian being bethesdas sidekick

You should know that by now. If a landwhale flirted you vs a big boob model you would think the same way.

He owns property in Los Angeles, look up the price of those. He was a junior partner at Obsidian, which required a somewhat notable investment, and he made a ton of money freelancing after he quit. There's a lot of money to be made from exploiting a celebrity dev status. Josh Sawyer's open about making $210,000 a year being Obsidian's design director. Avellone was earning quite a bit more than that before that woman ruined his career.

I think their games since DS3 are much more solid as complete packages, but they're also very uninspired. Stick of Truth, for example, is a criminally overlooked game.

People are forgetting Avellone and Obsidian had an entirely separate beef long before he was cancelled. It stands to reason Sawyer wouldn't defend him. To say nothing of the fact Avellone has betrayed all his followers and larps as a defender of justice 'confronting evil wherever it may so appear' (his words) because he has grudge against Obsidian.

He's stated that he takes a reduced fee and sometimes even works for free on those projects if he's excited about them. He just likes working on games. But he charged the big boys the big bucks.

I know this fries your brain but sometimes wealthy people keep doing a job because they like it

Avellone has no excuse. I he wants to implement his full blown narratives he should make his own company and hire enough crew to at least make a indie title. having some skanks talk shit about you on social media and soiboys seal clap it does not bar him from doing his own thing

Tim Cain barely did anything for VtMB. He was a programmer and barely did anything for VtMB besides fixing shit as he was too busy with Temple of Elemental Evil release and bug fixes. The real creative force was Boyarsky, who hates the game because it put him into depression back then and is one of greatest disappointments according to him.

He is right though. Christine was written as a Mary Sue because one dyke developer wanted more LGBT representation in game. Most shit about Christine doesn't make any sense at all. She is a scribe, which is equivalent to monk rank in BoS but for some reason she is a fucking master of combat and stealth, despite being a fucking monk who would mostly spend time reading and fixing things instead of fighting. Dean Domino and Dog/God state that it's impossible to walk around Ghost people peacefully unless you sneak through or straight up kill them, but for no reason at all Christine is a Mary Sue who gets pass in the end and walks freely without any problems. She was obviously forced into the game as some dyke's cope.

I find it far more likely she was written by some creepy "ally" soi_boi who fetishizes lesbian relationships due to them gooning to lesbian porno. If she (or Veronica) were written by real lesbos, they would be more like actual lesbos, aka like Parvati from Outer Worlds; a socially awkward asexual weirdo who is really just afraid of sex, which is why they find comfort in "dating" another woman. Real lesbians literally don't have sex, look up "lesbian bed death"

He is correct, VTMB is fake "hidden gem" hipsters mod the fuck out of and pretend to like. The vanilla game a janky, unfinished piece of shit, but as the mods prove it wasn't irredeemable.
