Ex-BioWare writer Jennifer Hepler to work on new Kickstarter sci-fi RPG Ambrov X - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE]Ambrov X is a “relationship-driven science fiction RPG”, and Hepler will be lead writer. Provided the project reaches its stretch goal, that is. [/QUOTE] It's like they want it to have terrible writing.

Pretty good move by these guys having her related to the project. No such thing as bad publicity and all that, if she wasn't working on this no one would give a shit about this game.

[QUOTE=Egevened;42092697]did you guys even watch the kickstarter? holy fuck its a huge mass effect knockoff[/QUOTE] Which means it'll be more likely to drag the casual audiance in, it's a /SAFE/ game.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;42090936]Remember she was the only writer that worked on mass effect 3 and dragon age 2 and thus is personally responsible for everything wrong with those games. No one else works at Bioware[/QUOTE] Concerning her work on Dragon Age 2, she wrote Fenris, Anders, and Sebastian Vael, the former two widely considered the worst characters in the entire game, and the third being a bland, boring person. Not to mention M.I.T.H. was AWFUL. So yes there is quite a lot of evidence behind the fact that she is a shitty writer and you can kindly stop with this shit.

I never said she was a good writer, far from it shes pretty bad. But both of those games had bigger problems than the writing she contributed.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42092938]Well now everyone's going to stare at it and either hope it fails entirely at reaching a goal, or hope it reaches its goal so they can laugh at how terrible the writing is gonna be.[/QUOTE] At this point I'd actually say that we should try and get people to fund it so we can see how fucking cliche it is. I'd do it but Rome 2 and GTA5 have drained me.

She is, however, a shit-tier writer who doesn't even play video games even though she writes them. Not sure why you're bothering to defend her.

I can criticize Yoshio Sakamoto for being a writer of bland stereotypical overly pontificating self obsessed shite but the moment I say the same about Hepler it's not allowed?

That doesn't mean she is free from being criticized or that her work is somehow made better. She's still an awful writer, you can't change that by going "People were stupid and said awful things to her!"

TBH I think we should help her she wants to make a indie game, and tbh everyone deserves a chance if they really want to indie games are hard to make without funds maybe she's a bad writer, but it doesn't mean she shouldn't be able to partake in her dream just because she wrote a few bad things, people improve and it's been a while since DA2 was released if it was me wanting to make an indie game(I do), i would too want support [editline]6th September 2013[/editline] and even if you don't want to help her i mean don't stop or criticize other people from helping her, they may just be nice people

If she can make a better love story than Twilight, I might help her.

We have every right to stop or tell people not to support her considering her attitude towards gaming and her previous works.

god that is such a shitty fucking title for a video game, sounds like a fucking STD or form of radiation sickness or something

[QUOTE] [B]M.I.T.H. Review.[/B] First off, the art is pretty good. Unique character art and general unique style. That does not excuse whoever wrote this from the absolutely terrible writing style. The author focuses on the homoerotic and pushes it into the readers face once every other page. The plot is terribly cliche and you can see it all coming from a mile away. Honestly, it seems like a high-school girl who just discovered feminism decided to write some concepts down when getting plastered. It's really a waste of a book. It had potential, but the writing is just sub-par. Definitely a do not buy, as far as I'm concerned.[/QUOTE] Why do people even consider hiring her for her writing?

Now we know what to avoid at least.
