It's gonna be shit, isn't it? We've gone from vampire sandbox to Fallout 4, but with worse dialogue
(hexbear.net)
And I was getting so hopeful after Mitsoda got canned and the game got pushed back indefinetely. Auteur theory is a fuck, Mitsoda has basic gen-x'er humor and I'm glad he's gone. Why the fuck did they decide to pivot into this Fallout 4 type dreg though? The main character is going to have an established backstory and everything.
Why make an RPG if you don't want players to role play?
Fair confusion, I think it might be due to a difference of perception. As far as I'm aware Mitsoda wasn't the only reason the game was being made - He got hired on to develop it after the decision to make a new game had been made. He got fired due to constant delays, changes in scope and narrative, and (as far as I can glean) due to being a shitty boss. It's a lot of accusations hidden behind NDAs and the like though, so there's no real way to know one way or another.
In general I am just very sceptic of any "auteur" when it comes to games. Especially when said lead has a track record of making bloated and never-ending projects.
