So apparently you can fail so miserably at your job in the gaming industry it causes a nightmarish loss for a studio and you can just fail upwards into another studio and ruin another game instead. Seroiously, this industry deserves to fail

Her writing is very inoffensive, outside of Anders, which she intentionally made a weirdo sex-pest. It makes sense she'd be picked up by Nu-Blizzard, which just wants to produce things palatable and for a mass-market appeal. I doubt anything she writes is going to sink the product, and Diablo has had awful stories since D3.

She helped write Unavowed, which I personally really enjoyed, so I want to cut her slack desu. I don't think she's important or relevant enough, even as 'story design lead' or whatever, to damage it.

>that 4 minute cut scene about learning each other's pronouns
Move over don Quixote and 1984, finally writing that really offers a fresh new take on story telling. It truly lead to the game being the success it was. Everyone considers dragon age 2 to be the pinnacle of computing software. It cemented dragon age as a story of laughs, tears and deeply unsettling truths.

A lot of nodding heads out here anon, we just cant measure her impact on the success of this legacy.

>Coming onto the internet to tell lies
We actually know EXACTLY what she wrote. Hell, if you bothered to do any research on this, you'd know too. It's not hard to find, you disingenuous retard.
She wrote the Hawke family drama bullshit in Dragon Age 2. The shit that nobody liked at all. The lowest part of the narrative. Fucking bizarre that narrative was included in an RPG and effectively ties you down to some bullshit. She also wrote characters nobody remembers.
Tell me if the names Anders and Sabastian ring any bells. Didn't think so.
She fuckin' sucks and was always the weakest member of the Bioware team.
>>
>>747652290
To be fair, she's stronger at narrative than anyone who had anything to do with the script for Veilguard.

It was good. Dragon age 2 writing and characters were good. The problem was the gameplay only. Anders is one of the most popular and memorable characters you delusional fuck.

She was also responsible for the Templars vs Mages arc in DA2. You know, where both sides are fucking retarded, and Mages start blood magicking out of fucking nowhere. While game paints them as the good guys.

It's because these companies prioritize hiring people that have the same culture(woke activism) over any semblism of talent. Behind a massive flop that cause the studio to go under? You'll have a job lined up as lead director for another studio, as long as you have a troon flag in your bio. This is why so many western AAA studios produce the same mediocre slop now, they keep recycling the same "talent".

is more that the AAA industry is a life destroying machine that chew people and spit them out regularly, so most people with talent or even a little of brain cell leave the industry to work somewhere else like making movies, which only left us with A) the most fervent passionate people for videogames that live basically on the edge all the time or B) the most retarded people that are a fucking waste of talent but keep getting job at AAA studios because all the talent people leave after 4-5 years.

Ubisoft did fall apart until jewish tricks bought out the company to keep it afloat. Even with all the bullshit articles we see on the internet, these companies are still going down. So many layoffs last year and this year, probably a yearly tradition in AAA companies with fake jobs. If anything, they've degenerated to absolute clowns for every gamer's amusement.

It's not that they prioritize it, the suits at the top possibly have no idea it's happening they just see money being lost and blame the economy or some other bullshit. Some at the top might be aware.

Middle management is where this power resides. It's how white men have been discriminated against en masse. There was no top-down decree, this was gone by middle management making discretionary decisions on an ideological basis. When women bitch about not enough female CEOs they miss the fact that middle management is filled with Karens and they make the smaller micro choices that affect the company as a whole. Not to mention Human Resources stepping out of bounds and wanting to change company culture to their liking so they started firing any chuds that disagreed and over the course of 10-20 years you end up with these companies full of blue haired trannies that can't make a profitable game to save their life.

I've got nothing to play for a few weeks so I'm gonna play season 15 of Diablo 4 that starts tomorrow. I was looking through mobalytics and other shit for what the meta is going to be and noticed a lot of bitching and links to reddit. Turn out their entire D4 community is losing their shit that D5 will eventually exist and that they'll lose all their cosmetics and paypig shit when they have to switch. D5 can and probably will be complete dogshit, but I've already gotten a decent amount of enjoyment from it

A story set with big D winning and humanity being pissed at Heaven for continuing to do nothing and the reckoning it will cause because they're next was inevitable. I like the idea that they're doing it, but I'm positive Hamburger Hepler will ruin it and shove atleast 15 gay romances.

She was always a scapegoat. she also worked on DA:O and nobody had a problem with that. She left bioware after inquisition and bioware continued to burn to the ground. You can't pinpoint a whole studio going to shit to a single person.

Yes, this can happen after a single one-hit-wonder. It can, and probably will, take place between the release of an indie sensation, and its sequel. No company is safe. Keep your memories of the good times and move on. It's fuckin' dead.

Two more years of pretending to be alive if you're lucky, but no matter what it's already dead because of the US debt which is so astronomical that it literally cannot be paid. It will be a slow and agonising death spiral (already begun) unless the rest of the world declares the dollar worthless overnight because they realize the US actually has no real financial power and only keeps creating more debt every time they print another dollar.

its not that consumer products are part of ones identity, it's that cultural norms, expressions, and understanding of common tropes are often gained through media and entertainment.

Diablo Age story:

You have several long distance girlfriends you seek out when they stop sending stuff. You are brave and not tied down by anything. You are here today gone tomorrow kind of thing. Exist to give examples of the best. You don't put up with any wrong. You believe you'll lose to it easy taking it on immediately at some point.

Your woman is a kind of little of each and in general. Feminity. Incorporeal. You have faith and good memories. What surfaces is taken as some of them. To do the right thing by. You are different as time. You are what they suit and likewise for a while. Which isn't stressed.

L2 prepare to get hit. This diminishes your capacity to do good. But you need to be hit several times or threatened for seval seconds to hit back. And your hits mostly scare instead of do damage.
R2 Attack. How fast and many and deep pressed has effect. When you attack you can't defend for several seconds. You are all in. Full of hate. You have met something that needs to die. Some student. Something that will rape the world. L2 while in an attack mode enhances it. To damage you to do more damage. You are faster with it, and better in every way. But cruel. You will end things badly like bite off noses, necks, overdo it.

Gear wears out and is repaired and upgraded as usual but gains legends. For every kill or bearing damage it's seen as part of your story. Your stats are gained in some part by others wielding it. Along with your allegiances.

A lot tries to buy you off. Denying them doesn't usually have material gain.

You are meant to play harder. Take more hits than you make if not entirely take. But you are meant to save others.

Women on a pure get taken off. Even if there is nothing left. You butcher anything between you and that.

It is straight up gobbledygook, the daughter of Mephisto a demon named Lilith made the world by sexing an angel, then died and is now back alive in present time and you get some of her blood in you. Which makes you follow her around in her anti-hero girlboss quest to take her daddy's powers and theres this mega-depressed Horadrim guy helping you, then this literally insane girlboss asian mage chick that helps too. And when I say help I mean all she does is talk about abandonment issues with her mom. Oh and Lilith dies at the end so literally nothing at all happens in the setting.
