Former RPS editor Adam Smith joined Larian as a senior writer:





Now two ex-game journalist writers in the team, heh.

(I actually suspected they would hire Richard Cobbett.)

Good thing about all shitty writers eventually ending up at Larian is that then other studios will have no choice but to start hiring good ones.

Swen is taking (more then) one for the good of entire industry. He's truly a bro.

Adam Smith was the "RPG guy" at RPS, they could do worse.

Cobbett definitely deserved it more though!

Hah, ex-inXile writer Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie also joined Laian!:





I guess he would be the second most experienced game writer in the team, first being writing director Jan.

Red Hook (Darkest Dungeon) co-founder Tyler Sigman visited Larian Dublin (publishing team):





"Excited for the future!"

Yeah, I'm imagining the future where Larian publishes Red Hook's next game.

Also there are narrative designers apart from writers. Julien Brun (Quebec), for example, has promoted from Narrative Designer to "Narrative Producer."

I'm impressed by how they managed to find a physical clone of Sarah Baylus.

Larians rapid expansion is a bit scary. Then again, I already said that before DivOS2 became a massive success, so what do I know.

And yes, Larian also absorbed Colin McComb:



And that makes 10 full-time writers.

I wonder if they are cooking up multiple projects.

Wasn't Kevin VanOrd a megacuck reviewer for Gamespot? D:OS2 being a pile of shit makes a lot more sense now.

There goes the last hope for Larian.

Gotta wonder what the rationale for all that was - "Hey, this guy and his sidekick directed a horrible flop, better hire them"

Swen probably did a bump and hired them on impulse after seeing McComb's rectum tweets.
