I actually like their style of writing
..sure hope it won't change (a lot) what with all the new writer hirings..
I find that the more "seriously" i am supposed to take any setting, story or circumstance, the more emphasis i will put on discerning the details, on thinking everything through; thoroughly. Ninety nine percent of the time, that is the wrooong approach to take in a game. It is still a game. Whatever its "content", it is meant to address a vast audience ranging between many cultures, 12 and 60 years of age. There are consequences to that. Or my way of saying that while story is most definitely appreciated, it can hardly be done right within this medium.
What goofy/humorous allows for is a lighter approach. Which in itself allows not only for less of a disappointment, but also for a broader, more relaxed view of the game.
So for example within the context of D:OS, some of the things i thought to try out? Would not even have considered them elsewhere. I consider that a bonus, not a defect. Times were i could get blown away by story, yes. Add about three more decades of age, and at best i find me laughing. In irony. For a story trying too hard to be something way deeper than it could ever have been. See witcher, see bioware, see swtor
but again, opinions!
