Now that Neil Gaiman got metoo'ed, Does Sawyer is a valid target now, or he is not prolific enough for creepy misdemeanor smut articles?

Sawyer has a button under his desk that locks his office door. He traps interns in there and forces them to watch as he fixes bicycles.

Sawyer doesn't come across to me as a dom, and unless he's significantly changed since 2017, he's a monogamist, not even a lothario like Avellone. There's nothing there to cancel.

If Feargus goes, his job might be on the line if people start wondering why they're paying this guy $200k/year to not work on anything in particular, unless the people high up at Microsoft really want him available for Fallout: Spinoff if Bethesda were to ever agree to let that happen.

Sawyer tend to surround himself with females gamedevs , journalists and NGO activist, IRL and virtually. It's indicate lothario tendencies although filtered by a limp dick male feminist prism. awkward filtration is inevitable.

He prefers the company of women for friends, it's an autism thing.

Soon they will metamorphose him into this (without the muscles and 5 feet shorter):

He's just a sour milk-face having divorced Maddow loving lesbian who has a "Male Feminist" bumper sticker on his shitty Fiat and cheesy faux recycled plastic flowers on his noir-hipster bicycle.

"I avoid writing characters like that"

Meanwhile

I thought Cook-Cook was disgusting, and even more disgusting b/c his initial premise in the region doc was 1-2 lines that had a disturbing focus on rape and abuse.

(FYI, if lines were written for Cook-Cook, I don’t think Josh wrote them. He did, however, provide the sentences that gave the direction for Cook-Cook’s character, and I suspect the writer tried to uphold them based on the direction given.)

But yeah, I thought Cook-Cook was garbage design, narratively and otherwise. Not only because of the references, but also because those few sentences were his character, which makes the rape and abuse references even worse because the writer/designer hasn't given any thought to the references nor is there any depth beyond shock value.

If someone came to me with a character that was solely “so this NPC I’ve designed is a rapist”, I would have the same reaction – I would have asked “why?”

Ah, non cringe, non sexually charged characters he likes...

Via Gamerant:
Players can find Mirke within the courtyard area inside Fort Deadlight, though, one will need to complete a quest in order to have the green-skinned fighter join one's party. The associated quest that needs to be taken care of before obtaining Mirke is called "Blow the Man Down", and, conveniently, can also be found at Fort Deadlight.

It's a 160 year old Sea Shanty, you should be more offended that they broke the fourth wall of their fantasy setting by naming the quest after it.

I'm not particularly offended. The first Pillars upset me because I didn't expect something so bland and stupid in its attemps of smartnes. I wasn't even planning on playing the second one, but somehow it came along for free or something; I never finished it, because seeing how embarrassing themes were now injected into this bland design, which today we can compare with Veilguard, I simply lost interest and didn't touch anything that came out of Obsidian.
