Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.

But yeah. After such a promising entry, Colin kind of fizzled out. Not gonna lie, but his work and vision for Tworment were really terrible. But still, knowing how all the bigwigs have turned out to be hacks recently, except Avellone, I guess, it was not a surprise.

What do you mean "except"? Avellone hasn't done anything good since Torment (Kotor 2 is shit and so are you if you disagree). it's obv avellone is a one hit wonder. his particular obsession with subversion worked out for him then because of the weird setting. It doesn't work in anything else and he hasn't grown as a writer since.

it's funny how much butthurt this post gathered but you all know it's true. you can't name a single game avellone has worked on with better writing or characters than the original torment. so rage impotently all you want, it's not gonna change :smug:

Soo is it possible that MCA + McComb + Gaider + some ex-Obsidian guys joined their forces and started working on secret D&D project?

:shredder:

Yeah I thought Colin would end up writing kebab menus, but he fell down even lower.

I'd complain, but I don't think it's even possible for Larian's writing to get worse.

Just you wait lol.

With these fine two new gentlemen, Larian is now truly doomed.

Come now, this is a win-win deal for inXile and Larian. inXile loses one of its worst writers and Larian gains a hit-or-miss writer who's nevertheless much better than most of their existing staff. McComb collaborating with the Ghentish menace raises the average IQ of both companies.

As long as Colin is just a writer it should be fine. Can't imagine that Sven would hire him as project lead after TToN bombed so hard.

I'm not sure what type of effect Colin would have, but if it's able to bring the bizarre bipolarity of 2cute4u puns + murder-rape-golem-dungeon of D:OS2 down a notch, I think it'll be a net positive.
