Did they patch that codex entry out yet?

[Mauman]

I admit, I found that absolutely hilarious.

Surely it's gone now though, right?

[magicboyzero]

Not yet. Looked again at it earlier. Might get patched they might not care and be proud of it

[Cyrigal]

Why would they remove game content?

Why patch something that was put there on purpose?

Sure, if they want to improve the writing I guess.

But it was not notes left by mistake. It's supposed to be the character's diary.

And soon someone will post something in this thread that will have it removed. Just like all the rest,

[candyundfelix]

wasnt a patch out till now, but steamdb shows something got worked on

As a codex entry it must remain - cannon

They looked like design documents from the dev team NOT a diary.

But whatever, regardless it didn't leave a flattering picture of the whole situation. Bad optics.

I very much doubt they have an employee named Rook.

It's bad writing, sure, but it's supposed to convey her inner conflict coming to term with who she is.

It's ghey and cringe.

What codex entry?

The one about Taash I assume, that is either writers forgotten notes as to what they wanted to write there or some of the worst, barely coherent writing that ever made it to release of any game.

The tone of the entry sounded like someone DIDN'T want to talk about it in game.

So weird.

It's just - we already know you (the writers) don't have any problem putting all sorts of somewhat controversial and downright extreme stuff into the game, along with self-inserts, so no need to hold back now, just maybe rewrite it as if a human with a brain wrote it. Hell, if it was well written, it could even be kind of interesting look on how someone decides to be non-binary dragon. *shrug*

What was the codex entry everyone is talking about?

The problem they ran into was they didn't go far enough in either direction with the writing. They could gone further one way and got chicken scratch short hand, or the other way and wrote out full thoughts. Instead they got really awkward writing that some people think has to be AI generated.
