So a man who did Vault 11 and wrote Veronica and Boone is a fart joke writer? You are not even trying.

According to J.E. Sawyer, Fenstermaker was responsible for writing dialogue for Veronica, Boone, a lot of Novac and Helios One (Fantastic), a lot of Camp McCarran (Silus, Curtis, et al.), the White Gloves,Vault 11, and some of Goodsprings.

He previously worked on Neverwinter Nights 2 (primarily on Act 2) and then on Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (Ashenwood and the Academy).

At best this is a bipolar resume

Good to see these improvements. What I would love, though, is a way to control difficulty via separate sliders for number of enemies and stats.

Solo stealth, I'm glad they're implementing it now, but seriously, who thought it was ok for this to be absent from day one?!

I got the impression from the devs that party-only-stealth (like many of the combat-only restrictions) was a consequence of a bad software design decision made early on, which they never got around to fixing. That kind of thing happens especially if you're on a tight schedule and budget and are working with stuff with which you're not entirely familiar (Unity, in this case). Glad they fixed it in any case.

Maybe some of the combat-only restrictions are next. I suspect that would require a major overhaul of their persistence/save system though; that's been really badly bugged from the start and had a fair bit of regression too, even into the public releases.
