When Chris Roberts unleashed his response to the escapist there was a period where I was so embarrassed on his behalf that I actually couldn't bring myself to read it. I'm having that same feeling now looking at this script. That's the feeling that sets this thread apart. That is the CIG Difference.

Apparently some of the Squadron 42 script got left in the new build, and the shitizens are getting frothy.

Oscar quality script

Just skimming over bits and its full of 'witty' sarcastic quips from your crew mates. Demonstrating once again that croberts is not a hack.
This is all as turgid as the Bishop speech. It's so, so horrible. I can't picture those lines sounding like anything but shite from even really talent voice actors-- and SQ42 only has one true pro.

Chris approved it -- all of it. He asked AAA talent to voice and act it. I mean I wasn't expecting something revolutionary or anything but I can't believe that it's all so dull and hackneyed.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

Ben groaned as he awoke drenched in sweat. As of late this had become more frequent and was by no means unusual. What was unusual was the absence of his wife Alexis, she was never up this early. He grunted has he hefted himself to a sitting position. Ben had never been thin but his weight had been ballooning lately and as the weeks went by even things like sitting and standing had become more and more elaborate rituals.

He swung his legs over the side of the bed and shimmied forward.

"Now for the worst part" he sighed.

He flexed and relaxed his legs a few time to prepare them for their burden. After a few moments he inhaled then pushed his bulk off the bed. His knees let him know of their grievances but they held. He straightened up and trundled to the door bracing briefly against the frame to catch his breath.

The master bedroom was located on the second floor and much to Ben's chagrin Alexis had refused his idea to temporarily relocate to the guest bedroom on the first floor which meant in order to leave the house he was forced to contend with fourteen of his most hated foes. He gritted his teeth has he got to the stairs and began his descent. He still had fears of one or both of his legs going through a step like they had the month before, the steps complained but otherwise the trip was uneventful.

At the bottom of the steps he noticed a light on in the kitchen as he headed towards it he heard crying, his wife was seated at the kitchen table eyes red and puffy, tears still drying on her cheeks.

"Well look who's up" she said a hint of anger creeping into her voice.

Ben rolled his eyes and shuffled towards the refrigerator she had been getting increasingly hostile ever since the company's payroll had gotten delayed. She couldn't understand that this was temporary that everything would be back to normal, maybe not today or next week but surely next month, they could get by on savings that long.

Ben opened the fridge and his face fell. A singular can of red bull remained.

"Sorry I forgot to buy groceries again, you understand right" Alexis called behind him words dripping with sarcasm.

"Alexis don't start with this again Chris is good for it and you know it."

Alexis laughed.

"How much of the money do you think is left Ben? Do you think this has a happy end where you get to trot up to that rear end in a top hat-"

"Enough!" Ben roared.

Now she had done it. She could bad mouth the company all she wanted but not him, not Chris. Chris' vision was the only thing that kept him going. Chris WOULD come through he HAD to.

"He's done more for us than anyone Alexis. He has a vision and if we stick to that vision he'll carry us towards a brighter future"

Alexis just laughed.

"Does that vision include laying you off?"

"Of course it doesn't" Ben said, he wasn't comfortable with the direction this conversation was headed.

"You sure about that?" Alexis picked a piece of paper off the table and held it out. Ben snatched it away from her. It was plain printer paper and scrawled on it were fourteen words

Ben gonna to have to let you go budget cuts I'm sure you understand

His hands shook and the room began to spin, he wanted to believe it was a lie but the signature was unmistakable his hero. His everything.

"Ben?" Alexis said, her voice strained with concern.

"Ya whoah did ehp did eh woh did" was all Ben could manage before consciousness failed him.

I was confused by that was well, possibly the sound of the nameless goon you're beating on is originating from Braga- that would at least sort of make sense

I mean not *actually* make sense but it's the only way that dialogue works

It's a ploy to excuse more delays. Chris will throw a fit and claim he has to re-write everything from zero because his masterpiece has been spoiled. Also why he has to reshoot mocap.

Curiosity got the better of me and I read a little bit. Can't say I'm surprised, but the dialogue is really well written. It's natural and isn't strictly utilitarian; the characters sound like real people in a living, complex universe. From the little I've read, I'm even more hyped for SQ42 now.
