How Is Chris Avellone able to do all this?

Featured Replies

He's been cloned. I knew this would happen.

He's not a project director on any of these, so he doesn't have to dedicate himself fully to any one thing.

My guess is that he is probably busy with PoE. He must be done with Wasteland 2 by now and there is still much time left for Torment. I just hope we will see a healthy dose of his work in PoE...so excited for that game!

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.  

You'll be shocked what a guy can do when the choice is (1) do more work than you ever knew existed (2) or Dungeon Siege 4. 

 

... in seriousness, he has co-workers, the writing across these projects entails different levels of intensiveness at different times, etc.

May Kickstarter be with you and all your stretch goals achieved.

I was going to make a snarky comment, but this.

He has a thousand monkeys on typewriters. You know, interns.

Borrowed from Bioware? Sorry i'm awful.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

There is a (spiritual) successor to Planescape: Torment in the works!? WHY was I not told of this earlier?

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Possibly because you've either been dead, in a coma, or simply living under a rock these past few months? Where have you been that it has not been mentioned? :p

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Even in death, surely John Edward would have contacted you about it?

Trade secret: MCA doesn't actually work at all.  He just has a team of ghost writers and attends fancy parties.

Not here, that's for sure. I don't hang out at gaming sites like I used to :(
