KotOR2's making every cutscenes possible take place on the Ebon Hawk actually was a risk evaluation thing: Making cutscenes take place on one map that's unlikely to change (since it was ported from the last game) is low risk compared to the many ways cutscenes in that engine can (and do) fuck up if you try to get complicated in an unknown environment.

If 1% of this "risk evaluation" went to actually creating and working maybe they could make a good game

Can't see his tweets and I'm the better man for it. He hasn't been relevant in a decade. He won't be relevant again either.

Now it's a question of Microsoft deciding headcount isn't worth the effort.

That Darklands spiritual successor (LGBT priests included) is right around the corner, and when it comes out, it will put Sawyer on the map again so he can continue tweeting epic memes all day.

Reminder that this genius literally had sections in Pillars where you would get 0 experience for clearing out an entire dungeon. As well as creating a "per encounter" skill system where every fight played out the same and a race of vampires called "fampyrs"... I sincerely hope he keeps his "occult" art to himself, for the overall betterment of mankind.

Considering what's popular in the vidgame industry and the popular trends, it felt refreshing to hear a vidgame guy say "you can turn my game into a TV series, but I made it a game for a reason". That was almost cool of you, Josh. I hope that if I put you on my banner you won't end up like Saint Waidwen.

I live in an old house with a weak power network and the landlord isn't interested in updating a) the electrical system b) the insulation. I do have AC in a few rooms but this one poses some difficulties the others don't.

$250k/year salary and he suffers in the summer heat. I can't believe I live more comfortably than Josh.

Sawyer confirmed that Obsidian talked about Pillars 3 after BG3, but the price of competing with it scared them off.

He's open to directing another Fallout project of course.

Surprising he's not already working on it. Bethesda will be too busy with TES6 for the foreseeable half a decade or maybe even a full decade and the suits will want to capitalize on the Fallout TV show and make an interim Fallout title until Bethesda can make the next big one, which is where Sawyer comes in. Toddler would try to block this, of course, but Toddler bows to Microsoft and doesn't decide anything anymore.
