Chris Avellone MeToo'd

[byuu]

Which is hilarious given he only worked on 2 and New Vegas. He isn't even a founder for the series like Sawyer, Fargo, or Urquhart.

Sawyer only worked on New Vegas. He had nothing to do with 1 or 2.

Wait, you're right. How did I tard that hard? He worked on Icewind Dale with Avellone, not Fallout. Guess I just translated his immense care for the setting into founding member. My bad. I still miss Fargo's touch for the series, but I guess he got Wasteland back, so he's happy.

The confusion probably set in because Sawyer did work as lead designer on Fallout van Buren before he left Black Isle.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Fallout 2 is probably the most overrated Fallout game: Filled with pop-culture bloat and your character coming from a tribal background that doesn't make any consistent sense.

The faction I liked in the game were the Enclave Soilders and I was supposed to kill them like you are forced to kill nice dogs in the last of us 2: I chose to just not finish the game instead because what was the point?

Fallout 2 is my personal favorite of the series.

They do realise that people buy their games because Chris is one of the best writers in the games world?

maybe he will join Larian Studios now, would love him working on Baldurs gate III

 

[Snekposter]

Its becoming apparent Avellone isn't, since he's unwilling to push for anything controversial and will cuck out and stick his neck out for the guillotine when you voice disapproval.

Who knows, all the studios saying that they removed Avellone's work for their games is really troubling, gives the feeling that he's persona non-grata.

I swear to god if Night Dive Studios delays the System Shock remake even FURTHER because they have to remove Avellone's writing I'll lose my shit.

 

[ddlloo]

Removing his contributions is some incredibly disturbing orwellian shit, and the people saying they will never play his games again (you know, because he was the only person to work on them) are brainless retards that deserve the society we are heading towards.

Sounds alot like its about something else and not those tweets...

they will lose alot of money over this...

 

[Tor Lugosi]

I don't think Avellone has anything to do with the current iteration of the System Shock remake. Originally it was meant to be an expanded re-imagining but after years of working on it they had nothing to show for it and so it was switched to a straight remake.

For Dying Light 2, recently exposed (though officially denied) behind-the-scenes drama suggested that they had already nixed a lot of Chris Avellone's work on it before all this dumb shit happened.

Lonesome Road sucked, but I quite enjoyed Blood Money and Old World Blues.

I barely remember anything about Lonesome Road, I remember those other two and Honest Hearts way better.

I remember it being a scavenger hunt to find holotapes full of whiny bullshit. Very disappointing after the previous DLCs being pretty awesome.

And I don't remember anything that was said on those holotapes.

No, the fact is that Avellone gets tired of anything he works on and if you don't wrangle him like a disobedient autist, the final boss will end up just him bitching at you, like Ulysses or Kreia.

Sawyer didn't work on Fallout 1 or 2. The first game he had any hand in was New Vegas. I'm being harsh towards Avellone, but he is an important part of the series. Yeah, he didn't found the series or work on the first game, but a lot of the core series lore came from 2 and the Bible.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Enclave are straight up the most evil faction in the first two games. They're xenophobic, genocidal, and have absolutely no desire to bargain with anyone on the mainland. And 2 is definitely not overrated. Ignore the pop culture bullshit and it has great weapon variety, quests, and side characters.

So? Let me have a villian ending like Fallout 1.

That's what I'm saying. You're not Enclave, you're a wastelander. They would never let you join them.

 

[Foltest]

well fuck. I have always loved his writting over the years.

Let me give you a refresher.

Bear and Bull, Bear and Bull, machine, package, why do these fuckers take so much damage, Navarro, Bear and Bull. That help?

You forgot "Courier Six".

Fallout 2 is my personal favorite of the series.

If anyone considers anything besides Fallout 2 to the best in the series, all you have to do is ask them this: can you become a porn star in that one?
