Pretty strong case right here, especially since Lonesome Road was my favorite.

I have played most of them.

His later works are mostly just write a small part or "consulting" so i guess they arent as good as prime avellone in late 90s or early 2000s

He pretty much just do freelance stuff and consulting after quitting obsidian

Xenogears are good, but other xeno games fron saga to blades are either mediocre or straight up garbo

Tim schafer, despite his idiot level management skills is a great designer and writer.

Its just he probably works better as employee, project manager or lead designer and writer than executive.

About the newbies in the industry, i probably give it to vince d.weller (its a pseudonym) for age of decadence (the writing and prose is so damn good)

mark yohalem (worked on primordia and the best part of torment tides of numenera) is pretty great too.
