Oh look another internet boycott, I am sure it will be as successful as all the others.

NO CAPS LOCK I SPEAK THAT!

(Try italics instead, makes you look a little less like an assburger badposter)

P.S.

The forum has other useful functions like edit buttons, those come in handy from time to time also.

The cause of this uproar appears to have been a question about least favorite thing about working in the gaming industry was. Her answer: "Playing the games."

The cause of this uproar appears to have been her response to a question about what her least favorite thing about working in the gaming industry was. Her answer: "Playing the games." The original Reddit post featured a heavily edited version of the interview, which subtracted the fact that Hepler is expecting a child in the coming months, and therefore has a minimal amount of time to dedicate to gaming. She also mentioned that she finds it difficult to get immersed in a game that is not complemented by a good story: "While I enjoy the interactive aspects of gaming, if a game doesn't have a good story, it's very hard for me to get interested in playing it."

Still, before I lose track of the point with this thread, how the frack can Hepler keep this job or get it in the first place?

Because writing talent does not require gaming talent.

TL,DR: immature fanboys don't understand how the real world works, act immature.

By ignoring the whining of no-lifers. She has not really done anything wrong except be the target of a ton of nerd rage.

The worst part off all this is the assburger posters like the OP pulled a five year old quote in the attempt to justify their rage.

But I have yet to see a single example of her "talent".

"I just figure they're jealous that I get to have both a vagina AND a games industry job, and they can't get either."

Yeah.... nothing wrong... hmm

How well did DA2 do? Amazing writing

Seriously, crack kills, you should stop using it

Fine, then argue that she's a bad writer (without the personal insults). However, that has nothing to do with the incredibly stupid claim that her lack of gaming skills means anything.



The truth hurts, doesn't it?



Actually I really liked DA2.

(And yes, I enjoyed killing stuff as well as the story.)

But at least "He cites Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 as proof that "BioWare can get along just fine without me."

Well DA2 was a massive failure, Hepler had a part in that?! ME3, time will tell or just google the spoilers.

Did you type that with a straight face? Because I have never seen anyone say that about DA2 with a straight face before

Well I can do that but this thread is about her being a "cancer" Well, the fact that it has gotten this much attention is why I made the thread, I find it funny and not surprising but her reply sure is priceless. Like ding dong bannu end of rhine worthy

Not really, I got ***** and I enjoy my work, perhaps those at reddit and stuff are jealous? But meh, if that was the case then better developers would be targeted.

Perhaps they should not take a years old quote about the lack of time her motherhood has afforded her for gaming and misrepresent it. You know what that sounds like, that sounds like a bunch of people who are jealous that she gets to have both a vagina AND a games industry job, and they can't get either.


Massive no, not a massive hit but definitely not a massive failure. Even then you have no idea what parts of the story she has worked on. Could be all the good parts but you are quick to judge with no facts.

In other news, I dislike StarCraft (as compared with other, better RTS). OH NOES.

What parts of the story she worked on? Well the video I linked in my reply to you describe one part she worked on, romance.

I see now why you and so many others are so upset, you want the romance to be more interactive.

Perhaps you should try those Japanese dating games instead, but in my country they are defined as kiddie **** so do it at your own risk.

Great, so either I go with twilight level of romances with George Lucas dialogue or hentai? I feel sorry for you!

Yeah, I am pretty jealous in fact, knowing that you have all twilight romances with George Lucas dialogues and hentai in the world whereas I have none.

Your reply made no sense to me, could you explain yourself in greater detail perhaps?

Just because she was in charge of "romance writing" doesn't mean that she was in charge of the crazed characters that the rest of the story had to do. Anders the Angry and Emo Elf were pretty well done considering the limitations she had to work with.

IMO.

Ed: I forgot the total **** pirate lady. She probably didn't have a lot of leeway there either - I'm sure mgmt told her to make a caricature woman for everyone to salivate over.
