You can feel the hole he's trying to fill where a family and intimate relationship would go in posts like that.
I'm sure his boyfriend fills his hole just fine.

Who gives a fuck about his personal life? He's a dipshit living in california obviously he's going to be a tard.

The only thing I care about; Does he make good quality games?

Icewind dale and HOW are whatever. I've been replaying it co op with a friend and enjoying it more co op than single player. Still nothing special though
IWD 2 sucked, sorry to say. Haven't played it since like 2004 so maybe it's better then I remember.
nwn 2 was absolute garbage.
alpha protocol sucked
FNV I liked, although I recognize the inherent problems with the engine. The DLCs all sucked except honest hearts.
POE1 was mediocrity personified. Maybe 10% of the game was interesting content, the rest was either filler, or bad. The games systems were also terrible.
POE 2 was one of the worst games I have ever played, which is why it failed to even outsell TOEE. https://www.dsogaming.com/news/pill...d-110k-copies-worldwide-until-september-2018/ Pathetic sales numbers lol.
No idea what pentiment or gauntlet seven sorrows are.

So he made 1 mediocre game, IWD(which he wasn't the lead on). Then he made 1 good game, FNV(which had garbage dlcs). All his other games have been bad.


Also if anyone is wondering, someone apparently told me J Sawyer has been dumped so many times and now spends all his money on camgirl and onlyfans. That's actually pretty funny.

Avellone looks way better, even though he went through a rough patch.
Talks with fans and other gamers/clarifies stuff about his games, etc.
Josh looks like he's about to get his face tattooed, change his gender anyday now and go fight the patriarchy or some shit...

Listen. When the DLCs are the ONLY good things about the game then it's not a positive on anyone's resume.
Same-engine sequels and DLC can turn out better than the base game because they can focus entirely on design with all the feedback they've received.

Not always true. Actually, I'd say White March is an outlier when it comes to DLC in modern RPGs. PoE2 had weak DLCs except for Forgotten Sanctum, but even that was too short. Wasteland 3 had terrible DLCs imo. Both Pathfinders had mediocre DLCs compared to the base game (Varnhold was decent though). We won't get an expansion that trumps the original game, the way MotB did, anytime soon.

My point is that if the base game is that bad, good dlcs are nothing to write home about. Then you have to wade through hours upon hours of shit for a few flawed gems of gameplay.

How is that sort of delivery or development praiseworthy? They should have known what made a good fucking RPG before they did this game. They're a fucking RPG company.

More than flawed gems, White March feels like what POE should've been, they are legit better than what we got. And they are already in the 40-50 hour front, with the two of them included.
