The Official “Ask the lead writer of SS2 anything” Thread!

With the amount of cut content will you release some sneak peaks of what didn't make the game after SS3's final release?

I think we shall! It'll be interesting to pull back the curtain a little, maybe even post up full versions of reworked or scrapped quests! Like when meeting Jake for the first time.

It would be kind of neat to see The Ron interact with D.C. residents. Maybe walk into his office some time and find him talking with a security guard, who is under his employ as a confidant.

That would be fun to do! We did think about doing something like that, but scrapped it as we always needed players to know where 'The Ron' will be, since he offers quests. But maybe it's something we can add back at some point.

Omg yes please!
 
Before I ask, I wanted to say thank you very much for all the work you do. As for my question... In the Gunner Dossier you can get from The Ron there is info on a Victoria Lamont and on The Ron's computer there is info on two characters "Griffyn" and Salvador. Are these characters in Chapter 2 (and I'm just not finding them)?

You'll have to wait for Chapter 3...

If you’ve any questions about the SS2 story, lore, characters, development (non-technical) or whatever, please feel free to ask! I’ll do my best to answer.

This is something sort-of-related-but-sort-of-not related: You said in the interview that you're a fan of Horizon (as am I). Have you seen the 1.9 teaser that Zawinul posted recently, showing enemies attacking Concord (among other places) and you are tasked to help defend and put out the fires? I saw it yesterday and immediately thought of SS2 (as I consider both to be essential mods in any of my playthroughs), and how the two may work together regarding potential conflicts. My initial thought was that I doubt devs from either camp contacted the other about this, but I could be wrong.

Just curious as to your thoughts.

Who or what was the greatest influence on your writing?

Probably the classic Bioware games and some of the early Obsidian stuff. Also, Chris Avellone certainly has a special place in my heart.

I've not seen the latest stuff for Horizon. I've not really "played" Fallout 4 for real since I started work on SS2. And truth be told, I've wanted to avoid seeing what other mods are doing. I don't want to see something and end up accidentally ripping it off. Or perhaps worse, seeing something and then decide it's too close to something we're already doing (and then cut it).

Saying that, I do sometimes keep Horizon in the back of my mind when designing things. I want SS2 to play nice with it, since I want play with both mods too!

Kreia, for me, has always been one of the best written characters is a video game ever.
 
Time to necro the thread!

How old is Jake and how old is Laura?
Assuming it isn't brought up in chapter 3 how did Jake get that scar on his brow?

Jake's age is 34, and Laura is a vague early tweens (due to character model limitations, got to leave some wiggle room).

As for his eyebrow scar, that's a memento from his first attempt to liberate the Comm Hub from Satellite Station Olivia!

Oh my god I was way off in my estimates. RIP my fanfic

You can always retcon some edits! What age did you guess?

I just don’t know how Jake and Carmen would feel about a good ole SEVEN YEAR AGE GAP BETWEEN THEM. REEEEEEE

I figured Jake was 28-29 at the youngest, but closer to 30-31. I got the impression that he and Katelyn shacked up together shortly after his dad died. You know, he was depressed, clinged to the first woman that was nice to him, had a surprise pregnancy, and the two decided to try and make it work.

When I first heard about Laura, I got the impression she was in that 7-9 age range. Then, in CH 2…I dunno, something about the Water Under the Bridge Dialogue made me think she was REALLY young. Like…2-5 years old? Maybe it was because of the way the “Dad died, met Katelyn, had Laura, split from Katelyn, Katelyn and Laura left” dialogue went? Timeline seemed more compressed?
 
Not really a question, more of an observation: I was assuming Laura would get the "child" NPC model based on her 'photo' in Jake's Upgraded Bedroom in HQ. It honestly kind of bugs me that everyone keeps describing Lupe as "small" and "young" despite her looking like she's 20 to me. (And to be honest, a character named "Lupe" being repeatedly described as "Little" brings back memories that if you don't get the reference I'm making, I'm not explaining it to you)
 
@Sirick So when is a raider boss being added? :P
