You know what?

Compared to what else popped up in the meantime I wish the rot in videogames was limited to writers that don't play games.
And you can't even say she is a shitty writer (she may well be), but the stuff that was criticized about her work is NOTHING compared to what we got later on.
Like yes, of course Dragon Age 2 is slop - but compare that to Veilguard.

It's like two different worlds. Two completely different classes of "bad".
It's not even comparable

>of course Dragon Age 2 is slop
To be fair, DA2's main issues are because they were given less than a fucking year to develop it. The story itself is pretty cool, both because it's more personal and low stakes than most RPGs (Fate of one city in the balance, not the world or universe or whatever) and cool because it has multiple time jumps about your family living in that city. That may have been Gaider's doing rather than Helper's but the story's the one somewhat decent part of DA2

Dragon Age 2 seems like halcyon days compared to the drivel that has come out of Bioware since. Not sure if I was too harsh on it or if it is where the rot started
>>
>>747514513
Looked it up to refresh my memory:

Dwarf Commoner and most Dwarf NPCs, Orzammar, and Deep Roads in DA:O (including the Paragon Branka and Hespith and brood mother stuff).

Anders, Sebastian, Bethany, and Mage vs. Templar stuff in DA:2.

Smuggler in SWTOR, and also a bunch of the world quests in Taris, Tatooine, Nar Shaada, Balmorra, and Alderaan.

>>747514213

In theory it is, but in practise it's fucking abysmal.
They had a rags to riches story where getting the riches is done in a time skip, the conflict is spurred by everyone being an idiot, and the grey morality ends up looping back to black and white due to one side being objectively right except they're meanie heads about it.
The gameplay being shit is the part I can forgive about DA2, the story is not.

I liked the feeling of growing older in the same city as it completely goes to shit around you, also what happens to your mom was brutal, they played that well. But constant location reuse, dumbed down combat, less builds, Kirkwall not being as grand as it ought to have been (still the biggest Bioware city, but it was also the only city)...

She was gleefully talking about how she got to write gay smut into an RPG while being only mildly upset that she had to actually play the game instead of being allowed to skip it like people can skip cutscenes. She was pretty clearly happy with her position until she started getting blowback from her dumb comments.

I relate so much to the cake analogy. I studied game dev for a few years (and graduated it too) and I just... got fucking sick of it.
But you're surrounded by really cool people who live and breathe it, and they just have this constant creative fire and curiosity to pull through with every technical idea, and I really thought I was gonna get there as well. I knew it was gonna be tough, but I hadn't anticipated just how nerdy you have to be about it. I have a lot of respect for all the devs who actually just commit to what they're doing. I think the issue in the current market is that there are way too many "me-types" in the industry now. They don't hate video games, but they're like acting aloof to all the things that used to pave the way for great design, because people like me, if I had to stay in it, would start creating more of a high school environment where you beat things down with sarcasm and avoid the hardest work because "nobody cares so much about that tiny detail" or whatever.

Every time I saw interviews with Luke Smith from Destiny I got that impression. He's like me, and he ruined Bungie from within by making people around him insecure with his own insecurities, but gaming thrived when everyone involved were autistically obsessed and dilligent within their own tasks, and everyone's almost completely honest. Like, there's plenty of sarcasm and negativity too, but people have a sort of doe-eyed honesty that I couldn't get into when I tried it. It was as if every single technical or creative problem raised was answered directly, and it felt like you're inside of a movie or something and everyone's acting all seriously about it.

Not what you're raised with from normie institutions and that's exactly the problem. Gaming is becoming institutionalized and it doesn't work to the benefit of the video games.

In hindsight, we didn't know just how bad things would get.

>Dwarf Commoner
Thinly veiled allegory for the poor working man being held down by people in positions of power and privilege that they don't deserve to have.

>Orzammar
See above.

>Deep Roads
Paragon Branka, who left her husband to become a lesbian and then sacrificed her lesbian lover to the worst possible fate imaginable so she could prove that she could do what Dwarf men couldn't.

>Anders
DA2 Anders is a travesty, of course. Even moreso a travesty since Hepler rewrote him entirely, destroying the characterization he had in Dragon Age: Awakening.

>Sebastian
Absolute caricature of what a God fearing Christian man would be.

>Bethany
Bland, lifeless, and uninteresting, especially in comparison to Carver.

>Mage VS Templar
Easily the worst written plot point of the entire series (up until Veilguard), it made no sense and both sides were absolutely retarded and nonsensical.

>Smuggler in SWTOR
Smuggler is legitimately nothing but a sidekick doing the bidding of an empowered girlboss crime princess for the bulk of their content. Won't get into the world quests in SWTOR but it's all the same kind of thing.

In conclusion, she's trash, has always been trash, and always will be trash. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying through their teeth.

This is why games are shit these days. There's like 15 hyper-specialized positions that just do 1 thing all day. They literally don't know how to and can't do anything else. Back in the 90s most developers were generalists who maybe specialized in one area but had basic knowledge of other areas, which massively helped the overall speed of production and quality as well.

Writing quests isn't that hard and I don't see why it needs 20 people to do it.

It depends on what you mean by kill. In actual practice, Corinne Busch, the tranny, killed dragon age. Like in a literal sense. After Veilguard, it was announced we won't be getting any Dragon Age in the forseeable future, while we did factually get more games after 2.

>English degree
Yeah...
Look, I'll not deny the value of an English degree if you want to make a career in writing. However the problem is a lot of these university level creative writing classes...
These classes will often just throw a copy of the heroes journey at you and waffle on about Tarot Arcana and the seven basic plots. Never in a single one have I seen them discuss how to write a compelling character.
And this is a big problem with Heplers writing, she has a great grasp of plot, but no great grasp of character. And you can be forgiven for having a weak plot, but if your characters are hollow, then you're only gonna cultivate the kind of audience that doesn't want to think too hard. Because a weak plot makes people go "All right, that's kinda bad" and move on. A weak character makes people go "Hold on. Why would he do that? Why would he think that? Why would he say that?" And these questions demand answers, if they go unanswered by the writing then most people would consider it a bad move.
