For those who don't know, Chris Avellone is of the end considered the best writer currently in western RPGs. Apparently a couple years ago he was acting like a sex pest towards a young girl in his circle (for what it's worth, Stephanie Sterling says that people they personally know have said Avellone is a creep)
Anyways in the comments of this video there's a comment by some chud:
"So what? There's no proof of the allegations and also pretty much any great RPG of the past has had Avellones name on it. I'm tired of all these allegations, I just want my favorite game designer to start making games again"
Yeah, let's just ignore that he potentially assaulted someone so you can play your video games dude.
I meant often. He definitely has peers. josh Sawyer certainly being one of them.
My brain didn't even notice the grammar goof lol. Sawyer has impressed me a lot more than Avollone in recent years - PoE and Pentiment are :chefs-kiss:
POE was excellent. How is the writing in Pentiment?
It was pretty great, and seemed to be well researched. I recommend it if you're at all interested in history, art, or the late medieval/early modern setting.
There's also a solid amount of queer representation in a historical setting, which is neat.
