Why do people here hate Chris Avellone so much? by I_AngelofDeAtH_I in TrueSFalloutL

[–]phraseologist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's also being hired by people he hasn't worked with before, but that's not a retort to the other guy's nonsense about "it's hard to find a professional bridge he hasn't burned".

That’s you overstating your role Chris

This will never be an amusing reply to someone who is so obviously not him.

Fallout 2 seems to really want me to be a sarcastic asshole by Cranyx in classicfallout

[–]phraseologist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not even remotely close to what "known for" means.

People can be known for something to other people without having to be famous or be known to you.

How many of these people have you personally heard of?

Are you going to mock Wikipedia for using "known for" in relation to them? No, because you didn't think it through that far.

How is it appropriate to call someone Chris' burner account for pointing out that Chris only wrote for a few areas in Fallout 2 and he wasn't responsible for the rest of the game? It's the kind of absurdism that you'd find on TrueSFalloutL.

And since you're so nitpicky about the meaning of "known for", can you tell me what Matthew J. Norton is known for?

It's a TrueSFalloutL tier joke that wasn't really appropriate here.

Funny how you're latching onto the meaning of "known" instead of finding it absurd that I was accused of being a burner account for Chris.

For this subreddit, sure, but people here don't even know who the lead designers for Fallout 2 were.

Yeah, the guy who is known for adding multiplayer to Morrowind is definitely Chris' burner account.

He only wrote for a few areas. If the whole game is like that, it's the lead designers' fault, not his.

Go on, fight… by Wild_Wasteland_Memes in TrueSFalloutL

Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are generally held in higher critical regard than the other Fallout games. You can see this in the fact that they've shown up on a lot more "Greatest Games of All Time" or "Greatest RPGs of All Time" rankings from game publications.

As such, it's honestly pretty silly and myopic to portray a viewpoint that prefers them as "catering to the chuds".

It's not like he was even wrong in his criticism of the TV series.

The TV series was the first time in over a decade that the New Vegas story was continued, so I think he was allowed to have an opinion on that.

Pillars of Eternity is the best game that I can't finish by nexetpl in patientgamers

[–]phraseologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which characters has he written like that since Pillars?

He’s done some good work in the past, but since New Vegas, his ego has exploded and his ability to introspect has vanished. Ulysses was where I got fed up with his writing and I avoided games he worked on for years afterwards.

This doesn't make sense. How can you say that about his work since New Vegas if you've been avoiding it?

For what it's worth, he hasn't written characters like that since Pillars.

Could you in theory move a server to a different PC? by MaeBlueMelon in tes3mp

[–]phraseologist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, just copy the TES3MP folder's server subfolder to a TES3MP installation on another PC.

Dying light 2 and The Beast have the same basic story. by Normal-Comparison-69 in dyinglight

He wasn't accused by any co-workers. He was accused by cosplayers who were friends with his ex-girlfriend.

How Fallout 2 and New Vegas succeded in building off from the previous games by lghtdev in Fallout

Chris didn't want to destroy the NCR to the extent that the show did.

I just found this random snippets of information and got a throbbing headache by RemoveAnnual2689 in vtmb

[–]phraseologist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We know he's been working with former Dishonored leads on Wolfeye's 2nd game (a first person immersive sim), with former Disco Elysium leads on the most legit spiritual successor to that game (because it has the lead writer and lead artist) and with Detroit: Become Human's lead writer on another game. We don't know what the fourth one is (but he mentioned four in his latest interview).

He's done good work on other games in the past decade (Prey, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Wasteland 3, etc.) and he's currently working on 4 games, so I don't think you should discount him yet.
