Well, if they brought back Kirkbride as lead writer with full creative freedom... It will be the most bizarre drug induced fever dream imaginable, but it will be interesting and original.
Let Kirkbride off his leash Todd, c'mon, it'd be funny
Tbf there are way bigger issues than the overarching direction of the writing. Even if they made Kirkbride the director and said everyone else in every department has to accommodate his whims to the best of their ability, the project would still be dragged down by the overwhelming incompetence of everyone else. Kurt Kuhlmann as the lead designer (which was promised to him years ago btw) might have been able to salvage something, but when they broke that promise and lost him entirely I think that was the final nail in the coffin. Absolute hacks like Emil Pagliarulo are gonna have such an outsized role in the game, it's gonna be a complete dumpster fire
I do not understand how Emil still works there. Everyone can see how dogshit he is.
True. Bring back kirkbride and give him all the dmt and lsd he needs to get the job done
I think Kirkbride is busy with TPUSA now
I did not know he took a right-wing turn. I was mostly aware about him becoming extremely obsessed with Warhammer besides showing up and weighing in on any forums about Elder Scrolls lore.
He's not, he's a standard "San Francisco wacky hippie left-libertarian", so generally ok with an occasional hyper-edgy take.
Sorry, I was making an obtuse joke about Erika Kirk because my brain is cooked. I don't know anything about Kirkbride besides a little bit of his writing for those series.
That was actually a really good joke I was too dumb to get, so well done imo.
Ahh, okay
Kirkbride has always been pretty quiet about real-world political stuff, and tbh I do get the vibe that he could have some real wacky and problematic views, but his wife Lady N is also active in the TES lore communities and she's really cool so I'd be really surprised if he ever actually went further right than milquetoast progressive liberalism
I mean his most famous creation is an intersex genderfluid sex-worker god who is problematic yet strangely likeable, he can't be a complete chud
Yeah, I should be more confident that the guy that made Vivec a central character that married the male protagonist stand-in in CODA wouldn't be a CHUD, but I have seen some weird pivots. Especially amongst the more bizarre and weird personalities.
