Feel bad for Brian and the fans that waited 17 years for this just to have it pulled out from under them at the last stage. Anyway, the whole thing makes me kind of sick. Maybe the team was too small or most likely poorly managed to support a huge, story branching RPG. Who knows? Mitsoda writes a lot of dialogue - said there are even more characters in this sequel. In console video games of the time, ice ranges and compelled scrolling phases. Though that could, of course, be due to tinkering with other aspects influencing/ requiring narrative changes. In contrast to, say, Vampire: The Masquerade: Colon: Bloodlines although. That's not too surprising given 5 years of development, but there clearly has been quite a lot of narrative revision going on if it had all been removed and would not have been taken lightly given MCA was a big name for the story to hang on. This in particular ('.and to my knowledge, there were no delays caused by the Bloodlines 2 narrative development.') triggered a slight twinge since they had already stated during the recent MCA kerfuffle that all MCA's content had been superceded/ removed even prior to that controversy. There's at least some evidence that there were narrative issues too and it isn't just incompetence from everyone else. Who knows, maybe the new Paradox CEO wants to go back to his roots and make it a free-to-play phone game. They're just not very good at all at external productions. One of the persistent factors in Paradox's awful external performance has been dreadful production oversight if Brian were writing far too much or tinkering or whatever Paradox should have stopped it ages ago. There is such a thing as being too enthusiastic about a project. Sometimes writers write too much stuff, or stuff that cannot be easily implemented- see MCA and Dying Light 2 for an example. It wasn't necessarily a 'bad' decision to fire Mitsoda. In some ways it's completely unsurprising, Paradox's history outside its core competency of strategy games has almost never- Cities: Skylines being the obvious exception- been a successful one, either because the games were rubbish, didn't sell or because their relationship broke down with the developers (eg Mount&Blade). Most interesting thing from Mitsoda's statement was that he was fired a month before the organisational changes were announced but only made a statement today. Project sounds like a bit of a disaster at this point. Guess I'm fortunate in not ever being very tempted to preorder.
