I think it's the latter. Still a douche move, especially since people like to ask questions on official Obsidian forums as well (that don't get answered by anyone).

He's kinda like Wagner, having a compulsion to write about and explain his artworks. It's not a PR move. Wagner wrote 12 tomes though.

Just wanted to confirm: if his Twitter responses are anything to go by - no MCA, not even as a stretch goal. He simply doesn't want to work with Obsidian.

Strap Yourselves In Pathfinder: Wrath
From what I understand of how Fig works, Fig opens a new company for each project, that company gets all money from investors and backers and they become a "publisher" for the devs. Devs later pay back money they owe from their earnings to this company who distributes it to everyone else (and take their cut). Devs never get to deal with investors directly.
That does not necessarily shield Fig or the founders (devs) of Fig, especially if someone alleges fraudulent conduct. At the end of the day, you have unsophisticated investors and securities being exchanged, and that can be a minefield for the unwary.

Roguey Something Awful forums have a new thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3807509

No doubt Josh will be dropping lots of info here during the campaign.

Never really understood this behavior. Instead of using official channels/forums/whatever, he shares some really in-depth and interesting info on a degenerate forum.
Pretty sure no one reads their official forums aside from community managers (i'm talking in general here, not specifically Obsidian)
More often than not it's a complete hugbox of fanboys wanking over how great things are.

It's a pretty active forum. And yes it is rather friendly. You should try it once, might discover that there's more to life than unending bitterness. :love:

Nowhere does it actually say Eothas steals your souls, you gotta find him to save your soul can mean a lot of things.

He does share info on Tumblr too...oh wait :smug:

It's like you want us to hate him even more, if that's humanely possible.

I'm not bitter, friend. I'm just prepared for the worst and have no trouble pointing out rehashes where I see them.
Granted, it's all speculation.

That's a very nice improvement.

Oh fuck off. Characters keeping their own schedule is the dumbest of the nu-RPG "innovations".

It's supposed to increase "muh immersiun", but what actually happens is you're standing with your dick in your hand and pressing T waiting for the shops to open.

So it's just like his SA threads then?

Re: Whether the game will be like BG2 or MoTB

Although the Deadfire Archipelago seems like a rustic, non-urban place, we know there's a location in the game called the "Artisans District":



Is that in the Deadfire Archipelago, or perhaps in a first chapter set in a Vailian Republics city?

Maybe they built-up a connection when watcher became the master of caed nua; watcher has binded his soul to caed nua/Eothas and when Eothas came to, he tried to kill him/her to be whole again, like that alpine dragon and bunch of other souls.

Obviously Vailian Republic's city.
