Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Alienman]

To be fair, most deathclaws and zombies, regardless of "feelings" wants to eat your guts. So, there isn't much to do than to put them down.

Chris has updated his Fallout Aprocrypha https://chrisavellone.medium.com/fallout-apocrypha-77c75954641a

He provides a reason for why horses went extinct (they'd be too costly to implement and it wouldn't be fair to tease players with their existence without letting them have one) and his reasons for why he hates talking deathclaws (which is also related to the reason why he hates George Romero's Day/Land of the Dead)

Second, the reason I take issue with talking deathclaws is it’s the same reason I hate zombie genre pieces where… after the protagonists have killed hundreds of zombies in gruesome ways… the zombie franchise creators then go to imply that zombies have feelings, are intelligent, can be cured, etc. This isn’t a bad idea by itself. The issue is that if you want the player to feel like complete shit for having killed hundreds of creatures that you might have had the potential to save and evolve, then I probably don’t want to play any game you design because you and I are miles apart on what “letting the player feel heroic” means.
...
If you take away that, then you’ve got one less badass monster in the wastes. That’s a minor point, though, and again, the main reason I don’t like talking deathclaws is because they have a huge potential to make you feel bad about fighting other deathclaws that were not designed to be saved.

Has that lunatic on Twitter seen this yet?

that lunatic on Twitter

You're gonna have to be more specific, that could be about 200 million people.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

Looks like the deathclawfucker got banned from twitter.

Fucking fascists. Otherkin lives matter!

I hope the new twitter emperor, Ilon the First, declares amnesty for it xirs.

Chris confirms he still hasn't read Revan

Hi! What do you think of Karphysyn's novel "Revan"? I suppose you read it, since it is a continuation of KotOR 2 and it includes Exile's fate. To me, It was incredibly disappointing, I really can't think of a worse closure to the story. What's your take on it?

I have not read it (that's not a slam, I just don't usually have much time to read as I used to).

Weak diplomatic excuse given that it was released over ten years ago. If it was something he was truly interested in, he would have read it by now.

fyi there's a tweet from Avellone about Revan that lines up with what happens in a SWTOR xpac(and two other major ones roughly follow other things he's said,) seemed like they might have based them on his notes or something.

For some reason the original tweet seems to be missing, but the following replies still exist?

I'm convinced my respect for this man will never cease growing.

I mean why read trash anyway, its like the Baldurs Gate novel all over again, when the game does a better job telling a story than the book does.

That was a novelization written by some guy who wasn't involved with the games. Revan is a sequel written by the lead writer of the first Knights of the Republic and the MMO established it as canon.

At least now people can't say he only does that with Obsidian.

 

[Trashos]

What a weird aftermath that would have been for Old World Blues (the hexagons spilling over to Goodsprings). I can see the point. But still weird.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Imagine if this is how all devs on social media acted instead of them constantly trying to be witty and annoying.

I'm happy for Johnny Depp and hope that Chris gets justice soon. Hopefully they get their careers back on track after being derailed by false accusations.

That would be nice, but there are still some lunatics that think Amber Heard was done wrong, etc. Time will tell, I guess.

FREE SPEECH MOTHERFUCKER! *Punc- hits you in the face*

This is just a slight disapproval and an analysis of the "no-NPC" decision.

Just cancel E3.

What a shit ass video. Bunch of games he had nothing to do with & doesn't show Planet Escape Tournament even once.

 

[normie]

it's the thought that counts

Associating him with bad games like Fallen Order and Prey won't do him any favors!
