    People News Chris Avellone grows a pair and fights back against being cancelled

    Yes, thankfully. Let's try not derail the thread with mine or Chris' personal life, let's keep it focused on the story.

    RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

    That’s funny. I read on my iPad and I’m always hitting one of these rating buttons my mistake with my thumb. I usually catch them though and undo them. Which post was it?

    That doom and gloom was around the Stormlands team, and that was VERY real. The Stormlands team essentially became the PoE team. The rest of the company was working on their projects. Not that the other teams weren't worried or concerned. The PoE Kickstarter really reinvigorated the company...

    Honestly, no. At least not at my level (the trenches).

    And I'm not going to talk about it. I try to be a positive person, and most of the time I think I succeed. I am also not a founder, nor am I privy to founder happenings. But culture flows from the top, and this is overall, a very positive place to work. Not perfect, but very positive.

    RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

    That is not a completely accurate statement. We had Southpark, and shortly thereafter Armored Warfare. We were not in great shape, but we weren't in danger of closing. What PoE did do, was give us a way to create and own our own IP, and it saved the jobs of a lot people. I am not diminishing...

    RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

    It's a pretty simple story. I wanted to get married and start a family. California is very expensive. I asked for a raise, which my CTO said I deserved, but wasn't able to give me because of the layoffs we just had. Instead, he gave me a glowing recommendation and I took a job in Texas...

    I credit Avellone and Sawyer equally for saving that project - and I am eternally thankful for both of them because WITHOUT them, all of that suffering would have been wasted. They both truly salvaged that game. I have been at Obsidian for a total of... 12 years. Longer than even my time at...

    RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

    I don't think ANYONE at this company would claim it is perfect, it isn't. I have been vocal and consistent about problem areas here, and so have others - and btw, we weren't fired for voicing our opinions. In fact, one of the most true things I can say about this company is how hard they DO...

    RPG Codex Interview: Chris Avellone on Pillars Cut Content, Game Development Hierarchies and More

    This might be pointless here at the Codex, but I will share some of my experiences at Obsidian. When my daughter had to go to the emergency room THREE times in 6 months, and I missed a lot of time, the company stood by me and told me not to worry, to put my family first. When my wife's...

    Your post almost implies that you worked at Obsidian. If you meant to imply it and you did, I cannot figure out who you are. I have some guesses, but I am not sure.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity II Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Aren't these just the characters from their campaign, I'm pretty sure they are. I saw a video where they were live acting them in costume. I would imagine the fans of the show already know who all them are and have a general idea of what they look like. I don't think there is a hidden agenda...
