YOU COULD BE A POE2 MODEL IF WE JUST CHOP OFF YOUR HEAD!

"The models are without heads, so the customer can imagine them to be anyone."
"Anyone, without a head."

"you know the head's where everything is at, the brain, the eyes, the mouth. that's the person. I'm told as a kid if you cut off the head, the body dies. the body is nothing after the head is cut off. . . well, that's not quite true. With a girl, there's alot left in the girl's body without a head"

If by CA he means MCA then not really. He didn't write anything major in the quantity department, just the best parts of the whole thing, so I'm sure it's going to be the same "style". If we count generic as a "style".

 

[Sentinel]

MCA wrote both the best and the worst parts of PoE.
Grieving Mother is such a sleep inducing companion. Fuck sake. What the hell was he thinking?

 

[Quillon]

Who wrote Zahua?

 

[pomenitul]

My Google-fu tells me it was Eric Fenstermaker.

 

[Alienman]

Is Avellone mercenary writing for Obsidian? That must feel odd.

Edit:

hehe, Ooops, I read that wrong

 

[Sentinel]

Who wrote Zahua?

Eric Fenstermaker.

"I think that depends on what you liked about the writing on Pillars 1."

In other words: if you liked the best parts of PoE1, don't get excited.

 

[Quillon]

Eric shouldn't have become a house-man then, overall narrative quality was getting good and both Eder & Zahua are very well written.

Let's hope Josh is a good writer and Chief Hanlon wasn't a fluke.

 

[Lacrymas]

"Very well written" is a bit of an exaggeration. I haven't played TWM so can't comment on Zahua, but Eder is a simple, average man who has some questions about his brother. He isn't offensive or badly written at all, just ...normal.

 

[Quillon]

Zahua is better than Durance.

 

[Efe]

that may be but are the ones we know mca's characters or butchered remains of them?

I think most people remember Edér as likable, which does a surprisingly lot when all characters need to be Interesting(tm) and Cool(tm).

I also liked Zahua well enough, he was funny.

 

[Sentinel]

Zahua starts out as your typical DUDE MUSHROOMS LMAO character but then you start listening to him a bit and you get a gut punch at the end of his quest and can't help but feel sorry for the lad.

From now on, every instance in Pillars franchise will have good writing in the post Darth Roxor's and Jeff Vogel's editorial on writing.

We have tread into post-Roxor-Vogel's era.

Good writing which of course contains no prose whatsoever and consists solely of vitriolic one-liners with occasional deadpan humour.

 

[Tom Selleck]

are bikes cool or are they gay as hell?

 

[Rev]

They're manly as fuck.

 

[Fry]

Sawyer picked the hobbies most likely to get him beat up at any self-respecting American high school and committed 100%.

Gotta respect that.
