Screw it, I'm voting Michael White instead. Brought police corruption down to zero, surely he can do the same to government corruption.

Nothing stopping Christie for having been mayor in an interim between two of Morales' terms, I think. Except Salamanca is a separate town and not a district of Paragon City.

I present to you, the objectively best cinematic shot of Talos Island one could ever take.

Could we please not turn this thread into a personal fight? The starting point was that the writing in Robert Kogan's arc is wonky and should be changed to something more tasteful and less out-of-place.

Then again, most of the earlier content isn't as readily bad, though maybe that's just because the descriptions are shorter. A couple sentences detailing what's going on and what you need to do about it, nothing more. There just didn't use to be as much space for bad writing. Compare that to modern content, where every talkable NPC has a whole novel's worth of text, and problems only become more glaring that way.

No, all I can find about him on the wiki is he's the head of a tech company called Christie Consolidated, with a suspicious lot of money and influence to make Kallisti Wharf into his personal playground.

Perhaps? All signs so far are pointing to this elusive Emil Christie guy who apparently repaired the whole district all by himself, but who knows what he actually is. Could be a Crey agent, a Nemesis automaton or even a Malta officer for all we know.

I know we're not supposed to discuss politics openly, but a lot of what I know about Kallisti Wharf content feels just wrong. Not only this 5th Column commander sounding like he spent way too long on Twitter, but also things like the BWI precinct plaque being a scathing critique of the local police department, long since replaced by the BWI. It just doesn't make sense. The PPD was originally depicted as a very idealized, firmly genuinely benevolent police force their real-life peers should strive to emulate, and then suddenly you have an absurdly corrupt precinct "not understanding the locals' problems due to not being locals themselves" and a very unsubtle stand-in for George Floyd's death which caused such big riots that a mysterious shady businessman had to step in and replace the police in KW - and only KW - with an equally mysterious and shady PMC with such great training and weapons that they had zero problems bringing the crime rate way down despite having to put up with endgame-level enemy groups. I have no idea how I'm supposed to take all this, but it certainly could've been written better.

Could be cool, but at the same time it feels kinda wrong to have Menders out in the open and let players casually approach them. Then again, I suppose it's no different than having the Recluse's Victory portal right in Atlas Park and letting player casually go there right from the start to get Entrusted with the Secret early.

One more typo regarding that guy: his name is supposed to be Olde Tyre Fire, but the orange narration text in the first dialogue box calls him Old Tire Fire instead.

I get what they were going for here, but it still feels kind of too strawman-y to be any good.

Harris is just pathetic. To think that an upstanding Longbow lieutenant would betray the organization just because his crush rejected him... Blud really does deserve to be killed.

That's from Lt. Harris, actually, but still part of the same quest chain. Also, I noticed that the two mutually-exclusive second contacts between Habashy and Thiery can lead to the removal of Skull or Vahzilok spawns in Atlas Park. And of course, there's also Praetoria, where certain overworld NPCs disappear depending on what you do.
