nonstop quipping

[donut32]

hello writers, yes i understand you are all under 30, use reddit and think sarcasm is 'cool', and love marvel. turns out every single companion being a snarky smart ass is actually bad writing and making snide comments every 5 seconds is annoying.

lets do better next time.

Eh I don't know if I can trust this opinion.
Let's see what donut33 has to say first.

Yeah, devs. Do better next time. Please?

[psychedelic000]

i completely agree. marvel writing is in almost all video games these days. it makes me sick.

They literally can't do better. This is why most modern films, television, music, games, and all forms of media stink.

It's half terrible education, and half cultural rot.

If you want annoying quips, play Baldur's Gate. "Yes, oh omnipresent authority figure?"

Snarky one-liners isn't new (and isn't inherently a sign of bad writing).

It's the reason I refunded suicide squad. It's insufferable.

The problem isn't the quipy one-liners. The problem is everybody acts like that. The game writers didn't create personalities and egos for their characters, they just made snark and job archetypes.

Outerworlds was the same damn thing. Obsidian's writers must think marvel movies are great cinema, or somebody is forcing them to write like this.

self inserts, they obviously have no imaginations. i could write better stories, and i dont even capitalize my letters.

I don't feel like the companions are all that terribly quippy. Some of the camp dialogue is a little young, but mostly I think these companions are fine. No more or less Whedonesque than the BG3 characters.

Seriously. Did none of these people play New Vegas?
Most of the dialog in that game is snark.
