I've no idea what Cutter is referring to, but it's always the self-entitled good guys like yourself that make it all so fucking personal.
I know that they originally had Chris Avellone on board who has an impressive writing pedigree but pretty deep in development they axed him on allegations that he sexually harassed three women while at conventions or something. IIRC, it was never proven and he is/was taking the accusers to court. There might have been others too?
Avellone didn't work on the story, per se, but he did write up a bunch of "New Vegas" style drafts which included the choices and consequences system Techland was really pushing.
All that being said, it's a shame if the story is about as uninspiring as the first especially when they have something to look back on and realize that they can do better. On the other hand the story really wasn't what most focused on so having a weak story isn't particularly disappointing for me providing it doesn't come at the expense of undermining the parkour in the same way the buggy in The Following did.
Dying Light makes wasting time fun with the freedom you are provided.
I'll likely still pick it up after I am done with the new PoE league on Steam when it's inevitably on sale.
