Josh Sawyer Q&A Thread

[Irenaeus II]

I actually agree with that 100%.

 

[Roguey]

If Josh was able to keep track of all the writers, only the last line of that would have made it in

 

[Irenaeus II]

I have no problem with the last line alone either. It's reality.

As for physical inferiority, watch the Olympics.

As for intellectual inferiority, watch a list of inventions and rocket scientists. No, Feminist theory is not an invention or science.

This is Fallout though, a setting where from the very beginning you could make a female character with 10 strength and 10 int that would be on par with any male character.

So?

Roguey Who did the 1st Recon characters at McCarran? They feel like transplants from another game with all their issues that you need to resolve.

George Ziets.

You were on the writing team for Fallout: New Vegas. Can you tell us a little about what work you did for that game?

Sure. I was brought onto FNV for a few months in 2009. I’d already done some initial work on DS3 (like writing the Ehb sourcebook), but FNV was in full production mode and really needed narrative designers.

I mainly wrote dialogue for a bunch of minor characters. To be honest, I don’t remember them all anymore, but they were primarily NCR, and I do recall that most of them were at Camp McCarran. For example, I wrote the 1st Recon Team (Corporal Betsy, 10 of Spades, etc.)

At the time, John Gonzalez was writing and revising the main storyline for the game, so I also had a number of story discussions and brainstorming sessions with him. And I helped out with revisions of the dialogue tool.

Though as I mentioned in my IWD2 review, the rape quest was Josh's idea.

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah, not surprised they're the work of somebody who wasn't strongly in tune with the rest of the game's writing.

 

[Roguey]

Ziets also broke the rules that you should never give multiple flavor options that lead to the same result.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I can't remember them from the game (only played 17 hours I think, my save was corrupted and I got pissed about having to start again when I was using Project Nevada and CCO), so what's special about those characters?

 

[Irenaeus II]

So?

Exactly. One woman in the real world may even have 10 str and 10 int. But that's clearly not the norm and generalizations are necessary for organizing one's thought about reality.

 

[Lord Andre]

From my own life experience, both men and women are equally retarded as in...very retarded. Just look at Irenaeus and Roguey - case in point. Whenever a human being shows sign of intelligence, it is just an anomaly, a hiccup of the gene pool...and any secondary characteristics like sex, race etc. are purely incidental.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Lord Andre you are particularly retarded.

 

[Irenaeus II]

You know that I melt with brofists, that's a cheap shot.

Roguey Infinitron

 

[Infinitron]

What. They're an elite NCR sniper unit that Boone used to be a member of. And they all have emotional issues that you can talk to them about, which makes them seem kind of whiney compared to everybody else in the NCR. Go watch an LP if you want to see more.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I'll replay the game in the future and look for them, thanks.

 

[Drax]

You can take them for a fiend-shooting trip in one mission. Or not.
Or you could set up a trap where they are supposed to meet you and solve their emotional problems for good.

Ah, new vegas...

That is such a terrible argument. The intellectual inferiority one, I agree about the physical inferiority.

Your argument when put into world of esports would come down to "South Koreans are genetically superior at esports" without even trying to look at the bigger picture of why and taking into account all factors that lead to their success.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I'm glady waiting for your overwhelming examples of Female scientists and inventors.

Give them few thousand years of gender dominance and you will get it. Until then go have a lobotomy, your IQ might actually go up.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Great examples. I'm convinced.

Kodex enthusiasts should launch a LinkedIn competitor focused on the cRPG industry, here's a business tip from your resident lunatic economist folks. Huge opportunity in the market for that there. Name suggestion: FiggedIn
