>I don't hate love in game stories; I just hate reducing love to shallow, masturbatory fantasy indulgence. Maybe that's all love is to some people, but I think that's a pretty narrow view. Ego-stroking is very popular in CRPGs, which is one reason I don't feel comfortable doing CRPG writing anymore.
>I appreciate that people wanted more romance options in NWN2, but sometimes I think that people want there to be romance "victory" conditions for all companions. I think that can diminish some characters. For instance, if Shandra and Qara had their own romance plots, I think some people would still want Neeshka to be "romance-able", regardless of how Neeshka's author felt about the character's place in the story.
>That bugs me. I don't like the idea that you can "win" everything or get everyone on your side. I'm also not fond of the idea that romance always has to resolve with a "fade out" to implied coitus, but that's another issue.
>I'll re-state what I wrote before: I want romance to receive either less or more attention in games. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, especially when it's something with so much emotional potential. But I certainly don't want to go the route of harem anime, which is total fantasy indulgence and gross pandering.
This guy is a bigger cu-ck than Anthony Burch simply because at least Burch enjoys writing for video games. SJeWyer is literally complaining about doing his fucking job like he's some kind of Bernie Sanders supporter that posts #refugeelivesmatter on Twitter
This guy is not looking for discussion. Just a repeat shitposter.

>Bigger Bitch Than Anthony Burch
>>"This really does feel like Fallout 4, if Fallout were to go back to its CRPG roots."-Total "I deserve to die of cancer" Biscuit What's the dumbest review quote you think you've seen?
>>People who believe in god or are Christians are EVIL HYPOCRITES! THEY ALSO BEAT THEIR WIVES AND ARE SLAVERS! THE ONLY SANE PEOPLE ARE HIPPIES THAT SMOKE WEED AND INDIANS! THE ONLY GOOD CHRISTIAN IS A SEXUAL SADIST... FOR SOME REASON! ALSO SAVE HOMOSEXUALS FROM VIOLENCE BROUGHT UPON BY THE EBIL CHRISTIANS! *tips fedora* How come games only want to criticize the Christian religion?
>Why do the Arkham games have such easy and shitty combat systems? This challenge map for example. If I sucked in the first three rounds, it wouldn't even matter.
>>Those people that go "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I WANT TO BE NEUTRAL! WHY DOESN'T THIS GAME ALLOW ME TO BE NEUTRAL!!?!?!? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" in an RPG
Stop making these shit threads over and over and over and over and over and over again, you god damn faggot.

Adam Myers

Luis Bell
It gets better. He often makes MULTIPLE threads like this. Each with a different topic. Sometimes its about paragon/renegade in ME. He has a few witcher 3 ones as well.
Hes a fan of the "just fuck my shit up" hair.
Adrian Roberts
Jesus fucking christ.

Hunter Reed
Tell me about OP! Why does he keep post this thread?
Angel Gonzalez
FUCK RPG CODEX!
Brody White
He's pretty obviously the same guy that made all of these threads: Feel free to go look those up in the catalog as well. Expect hundreds of results.
Bentley Jenkins
Is this reverse bait? I don't like Sawyer, yet you post quotes from him that I agree with.
Aaron Bailey
...
Hunter Brooks
In his defense, the bottom design really does look better
Ryan Wilson
I wonder what motivates him. Is it the yous? Does he report back to foolz like Rugga or something? Hes almost as autistic as barneyfag.
James Brooks
tl;dr: Because he sucks at getting women in real life, he wants his characters to be as big of losers as he is
Blake Ortiz
I enjoy his writing but Christ, he goes full edgelord too often. Durance, while well-written, is edgy as fuck and so is Grieving Mother. Not to mention the fact that the other writers had to reign him in with Ulysses and give the player the option to not nuke anybody in Lonesome Road. THE BULL THE BEAR THE BULL THE BEAR
Christopher Nelson
If he's a loser than you're not even alive
Michael Rogers
He went and made his witcher 3 thread.
Alexander Brown
Shit, I'm retarded, that's Sawyer, not Avellone. Sawyer just has autism.
Lincoln Anderson
>Have opportunity to make a companion >Rewrite Saerileth as a strong independent black woman
How does he do it?
James Watson
He is right about romances tho. I hate it when it's just about going through the story and choosing the dialogue option your favorite girl will obviously like. Then there is also JRPG/VN approach when you completely bind your romantic option to progress in the game and one romantic interest will lead you to meh or shit end, other to okay end, and you absolutely have to fuck that girl if you want to get true end where everything is explained and complete the game.
Oliver Fisher
does he let other people fuck his wife?
then he's not worse than Anthony Burch.
Isaiah Baker
Anthony please stop making these threads you'll never be dethroned
Jackson Williams
wait, what kind of a romance bitch are you
go play bioware games for your mindless fluff or play eroges if you want to pretend to date fake girls since your life is so lonely
Eli Sanchez
I hate this board. Any board that willingly pretends to be this fucking stupid so eager deserves all the contempt it gets
Lucas Anderson
When will Sawyer start supporting "good mechanics in BG spiritual sequels" project, or "releasing games that are actually finished" project?
Jose Moore
I'm glad they shut down the Bioware forums, you loser romance fags should be purged off the Internet.
Mason Jenkins
The did what?
Gabriel Hall
Of all the things to complain about in Sawyer's work this is what's bugging you? Fuck off with your copy paste thread.
I agree with that green text desu. "Romance" options in video games are 99% of the time completely juvenile and generally not enjoyableit's just another check list.
Daniel Ward
why does OP keep making this thread
granted pillars wasn't great but I enjoyed playing NWN and NWN2 when those games came out, and I think sawyer's views on in-game romance are sound, even though I feel differently than he does
Gavin Russell
Obsidian didn't develop NWN1.
Jason Cook
The fuck are people bitching at Sawyer for? The guy is great at writing.
Aaron Nguyen
>Nice try Anthony. You're still the king of cucks. >eh spends all day on Cred Forums comparing his life to anthony burch.

Jaxson Gutierrez
His last post there is fine. Boobplates are as retarded as female characters being equal to men.
Julian Harris
>Romance >with an npc >pixels in a game
Brandon Gray
Burch please.
Don't you have to get cucked somewhere else?
Christopher Phillips
Hit and miss. Joshua Graham was GOAT but Pallegina was shit.
James Price
At least they arent like Falcom whose games are like YOU CAN ROMANCE ANYONE then you marry Alisia
Oliver Brown
>Pallegina Christ that was painful
Juan Nelson
>Posting a picture of a character-less walking lore encyclopedia
Why do people love this loser so much? All he is, is a representation for pathetic neckbeards. And he was written by AVELLONE you dumbass.
Do you want more SJW in your games? Then keep sucking Sawyer's cock you moron.
Jayden Russell
Nah, not shit, just below average. If anything she was underdeveloped, which is strange because she's one of the more "unique" of the characters.
Gavin Hall
should've included the edit that the backer submitted. It was some decent bantz
Jonathan Bennett
He's right you fucking autist
Grayson Parker
Durance was fucking great you mong. His hat-love relationship with his goddess was brilliantly done.
And my mistake, he was written by Avellone.
Logan Hernandez
yeah, I realized that as soon as I hit post. thanks though
Adrian Taylor
>SJeWyer is literally complaining about doing his fucking job like he's some kind of Bernie Sanders supporter that posts #refugeelivesmatter on Twitter Sawyer makes fun of Hillarymedia getting baited by Trump on twatter. As well as "if we'll call them racist long enough they'll start voting for us" strategy.

John Wood
Sex in games is pointless and stupid if it's taken seriously, it should be there to make your character seem more badass or flesh the world out, having some deep romantic relationship with pixel characters is impossible to take seriously. Games are supposed to be fucking power fantasies
Julian Murphy
This guy is autistic.
Sebastian Clark
Him being a pathetic neckbeard was the most enjoyable thing about him.
Oliver Cook
Oh hey look, its that autistic Biodrone again
Easton Cox
I have no problem with JRPGs with friendship ratings that can escalate to romance in some cases.
Alexander Torres
Someone needs fresh air.
Thomas Rogers
he dropped his pants and integrity really fast
Daniel Sanchez
>Do you want more SJW in your games? If they're half as talented as him, yes, please.
Carter Taylor
>Sawyer makes fun of Hillarymedia getting baited by Trump on twatter. I don't remember that, source?
Owen Brooks
Haven't seen this thread in a few months. Have you been alright?
Robert Butler
Sawyer's idea of fun is ToEE and fapping to hermeneutics
Ryder Ramirez
Yes, and?
Alexander Jackson
making him the go-to oracle of neverending knowledge and insight is hardly sensible, especially when it comes to storytelling
Hunter Baker
I really liked his approach to storytelling in New Vegas.
Liam Reed
Neeshka was so thirsty for my Holy Paladin Cock, too. She even gets major jel over Ammon Jerro's descendant
Austin White
he openly admits that he cannot write dialogue and treats it as exposition dumps for concepts he finds interesting
sure, our boy Sawyer's the best autist on the deck when you need your setting believable, coherent and fleshed out, but making him write stories is against his nature
Isaac Perry
I don't know who that is or really care, having said that I prefer predetermined romances to player choice romances. Or at least premade character romance over user created character.
Witcher 3 had decent romances because it had established characters to work with.
Brayden Lewis
>She even gets major jel over Ammon Jerro's descendant She's jelly over pretty much all females you encounter.
Mason Powell
He wrote the outline for FNV and it was good, I liked how natural it felt. He can write good dialogue, occasionally (Arkade wasn't bad at all), he can miss too. Probably best used as setting writer, sure. Doesn't make him bad. He's aware Pallegina was a big miss so here's that.
Isaiah Perry
Sucks ass, man. We'd have had beautiful Pally Tiefling children if we didn't wipe out at the end / get sent to Thay
Anthony Brooks
are Tieflingen fertile
Jack Foster
Certainly. They're just partial-fiends who've had their fiend genes diluted due to race mixing.
Aaron Turner
Who would win? Anthony Burch trying to cook a meal or Anthony Bourdain trying to make a video game?
Aiden Reyes
Assuming Anthony Bourdain is just the writer / in charge of a team, and not an actual coder or whatever, then probably him.
Joshua Myers
sawyer is the only sjw leaning developer that is actually good
Hudson Jones
Avellone pretty good as well.
Kevin Edwards
The interesting question is what mix IS Neeshka. She's descended from Mephasm, a pit fiend, and can be called with summon Baatezu in later games, so she's pureblooded enough for that.
Sebastian Rivera
>"The patriarchy isn't a thing," said the man, squinting as he pressed his nose closer to the screen of his ongoing space battle
What the fuck does that even mean?
Parker Rivera
I have stared into the abyss
Logan Cruz
i think she's trying to say her worldview is correct because the lowest hanging fruit of people shoe doesn't like disagrees with it
Jonathan Howard
This. Was IWD and BG2 really all nostalgia?
Michael White
>women get ''oppressed'' by nerds that look at space shit
Meme gender
Angel Ward
what do /WE/ think of rpgcodex?
Nolan Rodriguez
I don't get it. So why just limit to be in relationship with one character that you choosed?
Jose Carter
It sure is a site!
Anthony Phillips
FUCK RPG CODEX
Levi Young
Most of them moved to unofficial bsn forums.
At the very least it will mean less ass kissing to the devs.
Dylan Peterson
Twitter still exists...
Robert Reed
It's enough work to write individual story lines for relations with each heroine. If you want to write plausible story lines like "Courting Zeetha, but cheating on her with Violetta", there get to be too many options.
Kayden Williams
OP is a psychopathic stalker obsessed with some irrelevant cunt who probably fucked his boyfriend
unironically kill yourself
Wyatt Perry
I guess they're implying that women are too busy "fighting the patriarchy" to watch Star Wars or something? They act like women never watch movies or play video games or ever have free time because they're too busy taking the fight to the streets which they never go to.
Levi Hall
He may be a cuck but he can at least make a good story on occasion.
Burch is just a meme master.
Charles Phillips
Nope, there's Harvey Smith, too.
Angel Mitchell
I just found out Leigh Alexander is doing ASMR porn now. I guess gamers didn't have to be her audience after all.
Carter Turner
Why does he think that there's a market for games starring losers like himself?
Oliver Campbell
>he can at least make a good story on occasion. Pics or it didn't happen
Jose Phillips
Alpha Protocol story is great.
Michael Long
If this moron spent as much time actually making games as he does explaining what he meant to do in a game Obsidian may survive.
