    Posters love to hate Obsidian. If you sincerely hate something from the bottom of your heart, just ignore it. It's counter-productive otherwise.

    In before "he has written novels, hence he is shit" crowd gets here.

    His resume is at least good when it comes writing for games. Not to mention all that RPG writing experience as well. Will be fun/terrifying to see how all transfers to writing Obsidian style game, all of the games I recognize from that list are quite simplistic as in there's really no choice when it comes to dialogue options.

    I think Obsidian needs a bit of Modernization in the narrative design, his experience on modern AAA could do some good.

    All the games he was lead writer on had no writing or sub-porno tier writing. Rainbow Six Siege? Far Cry 3?

    Technically he wasn't *lead writer* on any of those, as in he wasn't the guy in charge of the narrative. (That list is a bit confusing on that front)
    He's also not the *definition of insanity* guy (AFAIK, could be wrong on that).

    The question is how avellonian can he write on the scale 1 to 10. 10 being the spirit of MCA.

    I thought Far Cry 3 had some of the absolute worst writing I've ever experienced in a videogame, but I found Far Cry 4 enjoyable enough. Blew my mind when I found out they were written by the same team. It's like if Amanda McKittrick Ros suddenly put out a competent albeit totally forgettable page-turner.

    If someone told me one of the writers for Dawn of War also wrote on a bunch of nickelodeon/disney cash grabs, I don't think I would have believed them. The same guy who wrote on a Drake and Josh game wrote for Dawn of War and Winter Assault. Still having trouble believing that.

    Wait someone got a price for writing Far Cry 3?

    The game in which you play captain douchebag college kid with sub 70 iq who suddently becomes rambo and genocides natives in the hundreds because the titties of some voodoo priest told him so when he was tripping on mushrooms?

    That Far Cry 3?

    He was a Lead Writer on FC 4. Among two people. And even then he still wasn't actually the lead over the story, that was Mark Thompson (Narrative Director)

    Again, the title is super confusing here. Does anyone have some info on what he actually wrote?

    Too bad he's not Whistles. Pillars 3 music would be Bells and Whistles.
