Is this ***-kissing or is Avellone just a moron?

Could also be interpreted as sarcasm, but Avellone is too much of a **** to deservedly dunk on someone like that.

Also, gotta wonder if Filoni got the job because he's a good shabbot goy, or because, much like with Kathleen Kennedy, they couldn't find anyone else stupid enough to take the helm of a sinking ship.

His taste in media is extremely middlebrow normie.

Favreau would do it, but he would demand total control and the complete removal of Kennedy's power.
Filoni is a good little doofus who'll work under Kennedy as long as he gets to make ********, childish stories about his waifus.

I think that is pretty close to the truth. Filoni is an asskissing cretin who has no creativity or understanding of what made SW so popular. So exactly what Kennedy wants.

He also has support from the ******* in the Lucasfilm Story Group or whatever that circlejerk is called.

When the time comes, depending on how things develop, Filoni may either take over from Kathy or be scapegoated to save her prestige if things really go south in Pedowood.

If people want to converse with him:

Siel at the Codex spotted Avellone way in the back at a Weird Wolves meeting. He's back.


Prepare for a Woker West.

[Segata]

Grim picture.

[Vergil]

That's what he deserves for raping 6 million female coworkers...

[gerey]

How many ****** are in that room?

[Goth-Girl-Supremacy]

You can just smell how bad that room is.

[gerey]

Avellone is the Rosa Parks of the cRPG writing community.

Some cursory pictoral analysis, left to right, back to front:

-MCA.
-Nerd (manlet), troglodyte, subhumanoid, narcissus redditorensis.
-Potential womyn, unremarkable, unremarkable manlet | dangerhair "tradwife", smug detergent salesman, tatted-up dangerhair, oriental womyn, GRID carrier (asiatic origin).
-Goblinoid genetic marker, unremarkable anglo, unremarkable spaniard, leg rot or bird shot | scuba manlet, eternal polak, bald ****, bulldozer jaw (***** alert).
-Sleazy pr0n camerman, energetic manlet, abominable flip-flops (canaanite alert) | unremarkable (balding), management type.


Conclusion: There are troubling signs of unchecked mutation.

The genetic failure on display in that room is stunning.

Franznick is an uncommon surname of German or Jewish (Ashkenazic) origin.

According to @ChrisAvellone, Obsidian made multiple proposals to develop spin-offs for Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, all of which were turned down by Bethesda.

This is true. One of the Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was intended to serve the same function as FNV did between F3 and F4, to provide more adventures in the setting during the years before the next Bethesda release.

I thought it couldn't hurt to try and push a similar system to what Treyarch/Activision had going with Call of Duty at the time (but hopefully less rushed).

Bethesda could do a core release, then we'd release a TES title (in same world or a divergent timeline/era) before the next big Beths. push.

Probably less relevant now that Elder Scrolls Online is going, but at the time, it seemed to be something that could benefit both studios.

Not surprisingly, it didn't gain much traction - I never got the impression Beths. was happy with FNV's reception (good and bad).

[Rand]

I KNOW Todd and company are still ****** that FNV mogged their two ****** "Fallout" games.

[maidenhaver]

The existance of Obsidian is a nuisance but hardly something to get assmad about. Wonder if Todd is mad or its Pete. Pete was a ***** at ESF, old Fallout fans made him mad on two occassions. I can't remember Todd ever having an opinion. About anything.

He looks just like that little flying jew alien that owned Anakin in ep 1.

Probably a Pete thing, I imagine the guy was completely appalled at all the lore respecting present in NV.

I feel like it's highly unlikely that Todd was mad about/disliked Obsidian but the idea that Bethesda was going to lend their bread and butter IP to an outside studio was pretty insane honestly. New Vegas existing was already a pretty unbelievable scenario in my opinion there's a zero percent chance the Elder Scrolls IP was going to be handed out like that.
With Fallout I think that someone at bethesda (whether that's Todd or someone above him) wanted to keep a pretty firm hold on the franchise and also didn't want there to be a competing product out in between each of their releases. Bethesda game releases (at least used to be) a huge deal. I imagine the excitement and ability to sell something like ESO, Fallout 76 or the continual blue balling with TES VI would be as effective if you were getting a (probably) superior product every other year.

You don't see it publicly, but apparently he's a dull pain in the *** behind the scenes.

One well known example was the guys who actually made Morrowind, as in thought up and put in all the special stuff that made it flavorful, had to do it without asking Todd, just making it behind his back and then presenting it as a working feature. He then liked it. But before, when they asked, the answer was always "maybe not" because he seems to have little imagination and sense of wonder and plays it "safe".

I'm not kidding when I call Starfield "Todd's game". It embodies all that I think he represents in game design sensibility.

Your strongest argument is the last part. That's how executives like Todd and up would think.
