[quote=magerette;31202]Do you mean Avellone is known along with Urquehart and others for games like FO and PS:Torment, whose dialogue and npc interaction were quite a bit more complex? (I have to admit I was parodying Dungeon Seige 2 in my earlier post.)
I think it was viable if already somewhat over-worked to use the concept of a Chosen One in Fallout(2) back in 1998-99; almost ten years and a thousand derivative rpgs later it's just mindless.

That's what I enjoyed the most in the Bards Tale remake a couple of years ago, the total send up (complete with songs) of the 'Chosen One'!! Pity the rest of the game wasn't always up to that standard!!
