People News Colin McComb and Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie have left inXile

<Edginess of a melon>

But yeah. After such a promising entry, Colin kind of fizzled out. Not gonna lie, but his work and vision for Tworment were really terrible. But still, knowing how all the bigwigs have turned out to be hacks recently, except Avellone, I guess, it was not a surprise.

What do you mean "except"? Avellone hasn't done anything good since Torment (Kotor 2 is shit and so are you if you disagree). it's obv avellone is a one hit wonder. his particular obsession with subversion worked out for him then because of the weird setting. It doesn't work in anything else and he hasn't grown as a writer since.

it's funny how much butthurt this post gathered but you all know it's true. you can't name a single game avellone has worked on with better writing or characters than the original torment. so rage impotently all you want, it's not gonna change

Gave retardo for quoting yourself.


Saw bethestard and didn't read the post(s).

Soo is it possible that MCA + McComb + Gaider + some ex-Obsidian guys joined their forces and started working on secret D&D project?

 

[Bohr]

 

[baud]

So they both left inXile to join the same studio at the same time?

Rats, sinking ship, all that...

 

[Cross]

I'd complain, but I don't think it's even possible for Larian's writing to get worse.

 

[Murk]

FUCK

 

[Delterius]

A thoroughly nice person can't make a game about torment.

obviously we must turn colin into an incel

his life will be a torment ere long

 

[Latro]

obviously we must turn colin into an incel

his life will be a torment ere long

first we make Colin vol-cel

then we make the planescape/king's field game

 

[MRY]

I'm sure we'll keep seeing many games from Colin and Gavin for years to come.

Gavin, perhaps.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

scratch that, larian just recruited him

we just need to give colin some funny leaves in belgian chocolate cakes

Congrats MCMcC and thanks for the butthurt to come.

Just you wait lol.

With these fine two new gentlemen, Larian is now truly doomed.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Yeah I thought Colin would end up writing kebab menus, but he fell down even lower.

 

[logrus]

Ok. Sci-fi game on DoS2 engine? I'll take it.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Yeah I thought Colin would end up writing kebab menus, but he fell down even lower.

dürüm = rolls, durum = status :D

Come now, this is a win-win deal for inXile and Larian. inXile loses one of its worst writers and Larian gains a hit-or-miss writer who's nevertheless much better than most of their existing staff. McComb collaborating with the Ghentish menace raises the average IQ of both companies.

Looks like the first quest for DOS3 is already taking shape:

Larian... This shit keeps getting more hilarious.

[SausageInYourFace]

As long as Colin is just a writer it should be fine. Can't imagine that Sven would hire him as project lead after TToN bombed so hard.

 

[Murk]

I'm not sure what type of effect Colin would have, but if it's able to bring the bizarre bipolarity of 2cute4u puns + murder-rape-golem-dungeon of D:OS2 down a notch, I think it'll be a net positive.

Larian - Proudly bringing on the bad writing singularity.
