It’s always a bit of a letdown when you see a character who has a clear personality, and goals and interests, and suddenly, in the service of this romance that the player has embarked on with them, they now become the player’s yes-person

Looks at Dragon age Origins and Morrigan... How do these people, with 0 knowledge of the actual medium they work in, get to leadership positions? Was it a tokenism thing? To see how the brilliant Avelone got pushed out years ago, and clearly incompetent people are now promoted is truly baffling .

Don't act like Avellone was the only talented creative at Obsidian, it's one of the best AA teams out there.

It's a AAA studio and it's part of the MS roster.

Clearly Avellone did something right, other than the great pentiment (which started as a rogue project), they have yet to release anything of note since he left.

Pillars II, he did minor work on Pillars I and was not the only person working on their other hits.
