For those who don't know, Chris Avellone is of the end considered the best writer currently in western RPGs. Apparently a couple years ago he was acting like a sex pest towards a young girl in his circle (for what it's worth, Stephanie Sterling says that people they personally know have said Avellone is a creep)

Anyways in the comments of this video there's a comment by some chud:

"So what? There's no proof of the allegations and also pretty much any great RPG of the past has had Avellones name on it. I'm tired of all these allegations, I just want my favorite game designer to start making games again"

Yeah, let's just ignore that he potentially assaulted someone so you can play your video games dude.

    Also I never read Ravel as anything but a deeply tragic creature

    I know nothing about Kreia since I haven't played KOTOR but on this, same. Ravel wasn't a self insert; she was a wreck. Incredibly powerful but a wreck all the same - and the writing makes it pretty clear IMO

      Legit the first NPC I encountered who had motherly vibes that felt real

      And then later abusive mother vibes

        Same here, and honestly that dialog with her is like my third most appreciated moment of the game I think. Above would be the secret tomb you find with a shit-ton of your memories with warnings; and also the sensates vault.
