former Larian writer Baudelaire Welch
Wait, "former" writer, have they left?
I remember being abit concerned about Larian's next set of companions after reading that lecture (or atleast, your transcription of it).
Yes they have been dismissed as of April I believe.
The people who speak out here for the return of the fear emotion have familiar nicknames to me from other sites. They are fans of the spawn and zealous haters of the AA route at that. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Knowing where this post originated from, I would say this is just concern trolling. The community it spawned from does harbor some of the biggest harassers of people who like AA across multiple sites. OP has expressed their opinion, people have come in to disagree and state their own, and are being accused of hostility and attacks where there are none. It's, "state something inflammatory, then police how people react. If there is no big reaction, act like there is anyway and treat them as unreasonable."
If we are requesting to make expressions optional, then I would also request to have a toggle for the sad expressions during UA kisses. I have always experienced that route as unhappy. With the upcoming facial expression changes, if we're suggesting having a choice, I would like to have the choice to continue to play spawn the way I always have. Or perhaps the fear option there as well, given a few years down the road I always imagine spawn becoming unhappy with his LI robbing him of so much power.
If we want toggle expressions, then for sure let's give relevant ones to everyone!
