So the terminals in Hubris comics describe internal conflicts regarding the development of one of their TV shows based on a comic book.
The conflict is based on accusations of dumbing down the franchise and introducing gimmicks for marketing purposes in order to be successful on a larger scale (that is, on television).
Here is one of the terminals:
"I came into work today and found another stealth revision to the shooting script. Now the Shroud has an English butler? I keep telling Babowski that we need our core fans to be our evangelists, so we can't keep making these stupid little changes. You have to talk to him...otherwise, I swear I'm bringing it up to Pete."
Other terminals complain about the bad choices for voice acting.
Another terminal responding to these concerns:
"We have to accept that there's going to be changes to get to the small screen. I agree that our fans are important - but the Silver Shroud's numbers outside of Boston are...well, not ideal...Mr. Babowski thinks an English butler could help the show."
Another terminal:
"We're not writing Shakespeare here...I know you don't like the new monkey, but focus loves him."
A final terminal describes the lead writer quitting. LOL
So to sum up:
1) A dumbing down of the series in order to appeal to a larger audience
2) Introduction of an English butler used as a gimmick (Codsworth saying 1000 names used as a marketing gimmick)
3) "We're not writing Shakespeare here" - compare to Pete Hines saying: ""not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternate universe post-apoc game w/ talking mutants and ghouls""
4) Lead writers who made the series famous leaving (after Morrowind).
5) Introduction of the "new monkey" - compare to the creepy cymbal monkeys.
6) Complaints over bad choices for voice acting (the actors chosen have awful voices)
I almost can't tell if I'm talking about Hubris Comics or Bethesda and Fallout 4...
I just found the similarities quite amusing.
