Codex Interview: Josh Sawyer

[Bubbles]

My part of the next update was submitted quite a while ago

 

[Fairfax]

Just saw that the interview took 150 minutes. Why didn't you guys give it to Roguey? Would've been transcribed in a heartbeat.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Wh3n i saw this topic bumped up again, i thought the interview is here

 

[Fairfax]

There's no reasonable alternative other than baseless speculation.

They're editing the interview because Sawyer got pissed off and told the Codex to get fucked.

Sawyer spent 83 minutes talking about why he loves D&D 4E. Codex staff doesn't know what to do with it.

The other 67 minutes Sawyer used to trash MCA. Codex staff is clearing it with the lawyers.

Either that or every Codexer brought in to transcribe it dies of a heart attack and overwhelming sadness when they get to the MCA-bashing. Damn you, JES! Damn you to hell for all the damage you have wrought!

his favorite philosopher is Hegel btw.

 

[Fairfax]

From the people who brought you Hŵrpa Dwrp and the Anus Monster

The interview Obsidian didn't want you to see

Will the world be able to handle so much Joshposting?

Will the Codex acknowledge the new CRPG overlord?

The exclusive preview of 4 hours of unfiltered Josh Sawyer:

Spoiler

 

[Starwars]

Dude has a nice singing voice.

 

[CptMace]

So he actually made a video to prove once and for all that he doesn't dress up as a woman now and then.

 

[Shadenuat]

Urrrrrgh you lazy piece of souless sith filth

Spoiler

that his mom?

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

 

[Sizzle]

Dude has a nice singing voice.

He sings some of the choral parts of PoE's soundtrack

 

[Shadenuat]

You know what, I like Sawyer
He's really nice and his answers at FrogHelm are very intelligent
I hate his design choices, especially for PoE, but maybe he'll get absolved from all sins since he already added hard counters to PoE 3.0
I still feel like he's better than most designers, and at least he'll work on some games unlike MCA who will just continue with same boring interviews or random narrative hackjobs
I just feel more connection to him than MCA who left us and won't be a lead designer anymore. Even my favorite husband Tim Cain does god knows what now

By the way do you know more or less good wine from Chile costs only about 10$

 

[zerosum]

Sawyer is good for the industry. It is a benefit to have someone whose goal is to elevate the games he works on to something more than mindless entertainment. Adding historical context to games makes them feel more real and meaningful.

Avellone is the narrative lead of the System Shock remake.

[HoboForEternity]

why was it taken out again?

 

[Sentinel]

why was it taken out again?

I don't know about the others but Home on the Wastes wasn't meant to be on the radio. It's played during a quest by that guy on stage in The King's bar.

If you ever have doubt on this issue: the Sawyer interview will be finished and handed over to the editors no matter what. Same goes for the final piece of Gamescom coverage, which, yes, will be finished first
