Josh Sawyer Q&A Thread

[†††]

This reminds me of the times i've read people complaining about System Shock 2's controls, not realizing they can rebind them :-P

I see this happening way to often on the chans with the original Deus Ex and Thief, "the controls suck, how did people like this??". Most zoomers are beyond saving. The worst case is when they try games with tank controls, they can't simply conceive the thought of different movement/control modes.

And these are people who were curious enough and into games enough to try a decades old game.

They try them because they're lauded as masterpieces but get filtered pretty soon. Since they're used to instant gratification, they don't see a reason to stick with them and see if they can find enjoyment, they simply move to the next game in the backlog.

My point is that they are still a minority who bothered to even care about these older games, many gamers wont even do that.

One of the smart things Nightdive did for the Enhanced release of the original System Shock was rebind the controls into something a bit more sensibly in-line with modern control schemes. Though it's still an irritation for reasons that can't be fixed (having to frequently switch between freelook and "pick up item" mouse modes).

Just a friendly reminder that this man has a higher salary than about 99.99% of the world's population.

Sawyer's pretty open about redistributing his wealth to sex workers (but do not talk to him or them about it, that's "making it weird")

"Even" Matt Barton is like this. In his Daggerfall video, he complained about "weird" controls and lack of mouse look. He didn't even check the settings properly to see it was an option and when I pointed that out to him, that he was misrepresenting the game, he started throwing silly nerdy slangs and this is supposed to be a game nerd.

At least they've added Woedica as a selectable class deity in Deadfire. Best deity.

Did they make evil paladins cool and viable?

You can choke unlawful plebs to death, so yeah.

Also the book item that the devs subsequently added postrelease which allows you to interact with Woedica throughout the game is great.

I see that Josh Sawyer finally found a use for his history degree.

You make it sound like he's getting laid. He's a paypig.

This I don't understand. Why someone would ever pay for a sex worker to not have sex?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Yeah well, at least stories made up by Herodotus have been capturing imaginations of people the world over for the past 2500 years. Stories made up by Josh and his gang of creative writing graduates only captured the imaginations of keyboard manufactuers who noticed increased number of defective 11111 keys after Pillows launched.

I've read stories of prostitutes saying many guys out there just want to cry in their chests and be cuddled, with no intention of sex whatsoever.

Are you still in contact with anyone over at Obsidian or are all those guys you knew gone and moved on to other stuff?

Reminds me of Zane Lyon, the UI guy who somehow became the director on Stick of Truth. Of course that was way back in the PS360 era.

 

[Alienman]

Not sure how anyone would work themself up now when there is no games being produced.

 

[Nano]

Oh no! Guys, what are we gonna do?

 

[AwesomeButton]

He will soon be ready to return to the Codex, assume his final form!

 

[Roguey]

My guess is that all his lefty/lib warmonger friends broke him.
