I am convinced that Vic actually left the forums and that this account is now being run by Rusty
See if he's triggered by a certain Starfield NPC:

Rusty is far more articulate.
articulate or not, I earn a living writing, maybe this is just the right level for you

also I write fast, like 90% muscle memory in my fingers, you have to actually say something interesting to engage my other body parts and if you denounce BG3 you might be able to fight the mother brain even

starfield had actually interesting gameplay, the whole crafting and production chain was great autistic fun, kotor 2's writing was a bit too pretentious for me
I could buy that someone may like some elements of Starfield (after all, there are people who think of Oblivion as their favourite RPG/Bethesda game!), but shitting on KotOR 2's writing at the same time has to be trolling, because I would be hard-pressed to find a Star Wars story that's more complex than the basic "Dark Side vs Light Side" trope.

I didn't get very far in the story, but I didn't like the tone and how serious the game took itself, dry as sand on tatooine

It gets better after you leave the initial area (when you get a spaceship). At least I enjoyed the story more the more I played. The real problem is dealing with BioWare's Neverwinter Nights-like gameplay. If you can't stomach that, I can understand giving up.

For a minute there I thought you were talking about Starfield

Ahhh the delusional westoid....but yeah now that i think about it. Bulgaria is total dump,it is terrible,please westoids don't come in here,it is poor and the worst place in the world.....like the whole of balkans. When you decide to run away from your glorious nations of capitalism and prosperity....go in mexico or somewhere else,far better than bulgaria...here is really really bad.

Avellone reveals that Bioware considered themselves superior writers to the Black Isle staff and sneered at anyone who submitted a writing sample that read more like a Black Isle game.



BioWare apparently used to chastise any applicant who used a Black Isle writing convention as being beneath them.

Also, as an added bonus, one of BioWare's editors subsequently asked if she could have a copy of our writing style guide. (This is a violation of just about every company's policy on sharing confidential documents.)

When I brought that up, she replied, “oh well, I’m sure we’re already doing everything you all do anyway, I just wanted to make sure.”
