We should steal MCA from that putrid swamp and bring him here to post on his career and RPGs in general. Tell him we killed @Roguey, it might do the trick.

I highly doubt him or Sawyer thought anything of the quest when it was added to the game, it's just typical leftist history revisionism they have to regularly perform to not get canceled.Shillitron wrote: ↑ April 26th, 2024, 22:21Faceless_Sentinel wrote: ↑ April 26th, 2024, 21:30I played New Vegas two times and the only "rape quests" I remember is this, but rape is only mentioned, so I ask you what "rape quests" means.Shillitron wrote: ↑ April 26th, 2024, 11:49He was whining on Codex about how Sawyers rape quest in New Vegas was disgusting and sexist...
Exactly that quest. MCA was infinitely butt hurt that Sawyer put that in the design doc for the quest. MCA said it was inappropriate for video games and triggering then started BAWWWing about how he has known women that were abused blahblahblah.
10 minutes later some random woman accused him of sexual harassment and essentially ruined his life and career - funny how the world works.

Context: MCA was pissed off with Obsidian, IIRC this was around the time he was having a falling out with Parker & Fergus.
Either:
A) In a "I hate how Obsidian is run" passive aggression he began stomping around the office whining and bitching constantly about everything and saw the rape quest as a opportunity to grand stand and cause more drama.
B) He didn't know or care at the time and then in an alcohol fueled rage on Codex decided to do exactly what you said - a buncha "oh now I hated this the whole time - look look Obsidian encourages rape, what a shitty place" gossip dump in a sort of last "fuck you" to Obsidian after exiting. (It's well known that many Obsidian employees lurk Codex so he was probably hoping they would read his thread)
I hope he posts here and gets @Shillitron confused with Infiny and goes on a long unhinged rant towards him!Irenaeus wrote: ↑ April 26th, 2024, 22:28We should steal MCA from that putrid swamp and bring him here to post on his career and RPGs in general.

Fun note on Jet for #Fallout. The idea for the inhaler as a delivery mechanism came from members of my family, me included, who had asthma when younger.
2ndCommunity Question on #FalloutOnPrime – while watching the show I was confused about the drug that kept The Ghoul from becoming feral. At first I thought it was regulated/diluted RadAway, then it seemed to be Jet, then… I have no idea. Is it said what this is?
My comment: I don't think anyone that made that show actually cares to adhere to anything coming from the first 2 Fallouts.

I'm legitimately amazed BioWare continues to exist given that the last time they made something relatively functional was ten years ago now with Inquisition - at this point replacing 3/4 of its development team with fucking AI might be the only way to save Mass Effect and Dragon Age IPs from permanent death (especially when Dreadwolf flops and development hell gets blamed for it).
EA murdered some of its studios for far less.

I wish he posted more on 2017 Prey. I really liked the game.
Old picture on my Iphone of a meeting with @RicardoBare during the Beta of #Prey. We assessed that the game sucked in term of accessibility/fun/clarity, so we scrambled to take decisions on how to course correct. Proof that gamedev is hard... Also sorry for the bad hand writing
LOL we literally had a Pagan faction *Daughters of Hecate" in Fallout Van Buren you could join, do quests for, and potentially lead.

Sam Witwer seems to have some great takes and actually knows the lore. I'd love to see him do more with itAcrux wrote: ↑ November 22nd, 2023, 03:46Filoni is the ONLY person since George Lucas that understands Star Wars. They are movies for children.
Oh no God forbid some of those true rockstars at companies like Bioware might get replaced. How will fat dykes and indian diverisity hires be able to put blue haired trannies who speak exclusively in marvel quips in their games nowThe_Mask wrote: ↑ May 9th, 2024, 22:09

Half of those poor innocent employees are the kind of people who fired him and immediately distanced themselves from him the second he got an allegation btw.

Eh they're only slightly better than disney in that they write shitty fan-fiction tier stories (including obnoxious OCs that are forced into everything) instead of trying to write active subversions.destinyhntr wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 05:40Sam Witwer seems to have some great takes and actually knows the lore.

Apparently MCA has decided to follow Tim Cain and also sell himself for some cheap, false, temporary notoriety.
Why go down Maximus' path when you can spend bottlecaps to get your armor instead #Fallout #FalloutOnPrime
Is so sad that even after he was proven innocent, he will be kept canceled and "sweet babies" will be hired in his place...
Unfortunately he's basically been reduced to the same "Hey remember me? I'm the Fallout guy!" dustbin of history as Tim Cain.Anon wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 17:15Apparently MCA has decided to follow Tim Cain and also sell himself for some cheap, false, temporary notoriety.
He was shitting on the show a couple of weeks ago. So, it's possible this was meant ironically.Anon wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 17:15Apparently MCA has decided to follow Tim Cain and also sell himself for some cheap, false, temporary notoriety.

Or, maybe he's now a pathetic middle aged man who refuses to admit that his old friends have abandoned him and the next generation doesn't care about him.

If you're referring to Filoni, I agree. He did have some good stuff in the Clone Wars but you had to wade through a lot of meh stuff (and straight up fanfiction) to find it. But I was referring to one of the actors, who has been working for George since before Filoni and Star Wars. He was one of the only actors to call out how horrendously they treated Luke Skywalker (saying what Mark Hamill was scared to say).Vergil wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 05:56Eh they're only slightly better than disney in that they write shitty fan-fiction tier stories (including obnoxious OCs that are forced into everything) instead of trying to write active subversions.destinyhntr wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 05:40Sam Witwer seems to have some great takes and actually knows the lore.

Witwer is okay but I really don't care for how Darth Maul has been given this weird focus and over importance. That one book that had him come back and fight Obi Wan was cool. Now the fucker shows up in EVERYTHING.destinyhntr wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 19:35If you're referring to Filoni, I agree.

I agree with you there. The Clone Wars did make him one of my favorite characters but beyond the Clone Wars arc, I didn't particularly like what they did with him. Should have let him have his moment, then moved on.Vergil wrote: ↑ May 17th, 2024, 19:37Witwer is okay but I really don't care for how Darth Maul has been given this weird focus and over importance.
