Sounds fake as fuck, but he kind of brought it on himself to be frank. If you spend 5 years randomly throwing shit without showing any evidence hoping some of it sticks, people are going to throw shit back.
All of this is old news and soap opera level drama at this point. Either move on already, or show some actual proof of wrondoing at Obsidian.

Meh,don't care if he shows purple horse dildos or think himself a green dragon,he writes well and i am yet to be disappointed in it. The rest is irrelevant! Obsidian on other hand,haven't delivered anything of worth in the last decade. I don't give a rat's ass about all that drama and backstabbing,as long as i get decent product.

Anyone who hasn't been disappointed in MCA's output over the past several years needs to have
tattooed onto the side of his dick.

Please. He has done nothing that smacks of bad writing. Less than his form in KOTOR 2 or PST, maybe. But bad? Definitely not. You sound like you are butthurt.

Hahahaha both of us have a lot of time to waste and we frequently banter here,we are used to it. Also we have similar tastes more or less,and end up in the same threads.
Meh you are all the same in that corner of Europa.

Precisely. He hasn't written anything genuinely memorable since OWB, and for a writer of his calibre, that is really fucking disappointing.
I've heard that his Pathfinder character was pretty good. Also, Durance in PoE is fucking great.

Then again it's my experience that Americans belonging to this kind of "milieu" tend to have extreme negative reactions to any kind of whistleblowing/badmouthing...
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was an alcoholic though.

He hasn't written a whole thing in a while,but he have some decent characters like durace and the guy from numanuma.

I am sorry but I have to disagree. Alpha protocol characters were written very well. Steven Heck happens to be the best character I read about in recent gaming history. Did he not also write Kaelyn the Dove from MoTB? But I may be wrong about that. Not to mention, Durance, nok-nok and Erritis.

It just shows the difference in writing skillz!

It shows that he was out of touch with the rest of the team.
This is like if Marlon Brando went straight from Godfather into bit parts in daytime TV. Wouldn't matter how good he played those bit parts, they're still bit parts in daytime TV.
Disappointing.
And if it didn't disappoint you, then either your standards are really low, or you are an epic fanboy.

Prime Junta Yeah, he hasn't been writing Avellone-quality content since Dad Money. But to be fair, that's when problems at Obsidian started and after leaving he spent most of his time writing one companion and 5 item descriptions for like 500 games, half of which nobody remembers anymore.
Give the guy a chance to actually participate in full production of a good project before calling him out, he's earned the right to be trusted if nothing else. Between new Star Wars game and Dyling Light, seems like he finally made a jump from human stretch goal for indie games into big projects worthy of his reputation. We'll just have to wait and see.

No,it shows that the rest of the team can't write shit to save their useless life. It stands out as plus for the game.

I haven't given up hope on him. He's the only reason I have the tiniest spark of anticipation for the new Star Wars game.
That's nothing to do with being disappointed with his work in recent years however.

It is shame that his main projects are mediocre action flicks. Also knowing EA SW will be cancelled.
