I remember when Emil Pagliarulo was like "Fun fact one of these war criminals was the braindead mannequin you pilot around Boston in our game" and everyone immediately piled on him for it

Man goes to doctor, says he's a huge failure of a writer, that the internet is dragging him for it. Doctor says "look, a famous fuckup is being dragged right now. Emil Pagliachi. Just look at his posts and retweets and you'll realize you'll never be that big of a failure." "But doctor!" the man cries...

Emil is such a bad writer and designer that is a miracle he still has a job. Bro is single handedly destroying Bethesda.

that's letting todd off the hook

Todd has problems but he did fine until Oblivion. After that Emils influence has kept increasing at Bethesda and the writing has gone down.

Todd is still far more talented than Emil. He lead Morrowind and Oblivion, Emil wrote a good quest line once in 2006 and never managed to reach that peak again.
