Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Sinder Velvin]

Chris said somewhere that when he played Morrowind, he spent hours collecting all the plates, spoons, knives, etc. in the Census and Excise building (the very beginning of the game).

You should try to find a source for this, because I've never seen him mention Morrowind at all.

The Smuggler Cache markers were so annoying it made me put Witcher 3 on hold for a few months because the fun factor started dipping into negative levels

I turned that garbage off and only did quests with a narrative hook and had a good time. I see Chris is the kind of NPC who tries to be a completionist and ends up miserable.

He wanted to manually walk between towns in Arcanum rather than use the map travel.

The first thing I did was try to find the source, but I was unsuccessful. So you only have my word . But I'm pretty sure he said it somewhere. And it wasn't a discussion of Morrowind specifically. It was just his explanation as to why it takes him a long time to get through games.

It was probably some kind of podcast or video.

Edit: btw, perhaps it was his Arcanum playthrough. It's time to rewatch this Citizen Kain of Let's Plays.

Edit 2: nope, according to the autotranscript he doesn't mention Morrowind there. But I'm still sure I read or heard it from him somewhere.

If only he would complete the Arcanum playthrough that was promised

 

[jungl]

what arcanum needed was more split decision events that puts the players morals on the line like the orc factory riot but 10x more.

I think I've found it. Sorry for the misinformation. It wasn't about Morrowind. It was about open-world RPGs in general.

(I still have the feeling that he said the same thing somewhere specifically about Morrowind and the Census and Excise building, but I'm less sure now.)

I only made it 5 minutes into part 1 before I wanted to off myself. The man can write but he can't talk.

It's the character that he wrote for himself -- that of a man who doesn't talk much. The strong silent type. The way you swallowed it hook, line and sinker only shows not only what a genius writer he is, but also a talker.

Mustard? Mustard.

Um... didn't we all?

Only to have it all confiscated on exit. To this day, this is my most enduring memory of Morrowind.

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Imagine not liking mustard.

 

[Kleptocratic debt serf]

It is impossible to dislike mustard.

Dual lawsuits.

 

[Kleptocratic debt serf]

Dual lawsuits.

Damn. I guess this is the latest news regarding the lawsuits -> https://nichegamer.com/avellone-accuser-motion-to-strike-denied/

Defendant Karissa Barrows’s special motion to strike is DENIED. Defendant Kelly Bristol's special motion to strike is denied as moot. She is no longer a party to this case because her motion to quash service of summonts was granted.

A Case Management Conference is held.

The parties are ordered to a mandatory settlement conference. The parties must complete the information requested in the Settlement Conference Intake Form and email completed form to SSCMSC@lacourt.org.

Trial is estimated for 5-6 days.

Jury Trial is scheduled for 11/28/2022 at 10:00 AM in Department 47 at Stanley Mosk Courthouse.

That's the last time a news site reported on it, but quite a bit has happened since then, though no actual judgments given

Let the speculation begin!
Obvious ones are the ones that shitcanned him when he was accused.

Less obvious:
Star Wars related? Perhaps retained some sort of control over characters he created and are being reused for the kotor remake?

It's Techland, you gotta follow the replies for the complete Avellone saga https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...ming-february-4th.122375/page-24#post-7692310

 

[NJClaw]

He has full ownership of Durance and wants his cut because he will be in the next Pillars game. Obviously.

I guess there's a lot of things you could infer or interpret from this.
Unfair termination clause requiring them to remove his work perhaps? Would explain his insistence that he has nothing to do with it.

From the tweets (stop making me go on twitter, people who use twitter) it seems like Techland is still crediting him for stuff in Dying Light 2, despite having removed all traces of his work.

So he wants the actual writers getting credit, not him. That's what he's saying publicly at least.

 

[mediocrepoet]

There are probably also fees for using his name and things like that.

 

[Roguey]

As someone pointed out, if he wants people to stop associating him with Dying Light 2 he shouldn't literally have "#DyingLight2" in his twitter bio.
