Hopefully no mass firing rampages at CBU III.
I was stunned to see how powerful steam scores are. I don't take any of game magezine's scores seriously b/c they're all in the pockets of the studios. There are also very few game youtube channels I'll look at to see if a game is worth it. I usually always use Steam reviews though. I thought that was just me, but I was shocked when From Software nerfed their game after defending their difficulty choices for two weeks after their steam review dropped.

I don't want anyone to get fired over the DT MSQ. It's very clear to me this is a new team of writers that lack that critical eye to detail that the previous more experienced writers had. I know there will be growing pains to bring in new fresh takes to keep the story from growing stale, but geez they did it for 10yrs without a lot of issues.

If I had my way with suggesting how to handle that writing team it would be to rotate them through side quests / role quests first and train them up that way, which I'm sure they did.. but apparently not enough.
