Obsidian General Discussion Thread

Well apparently Obsidian would like Alex Hirsh on their team? They're probably being facetious though :

It's just a half-joking response to his tweet about wanting to write for a video game:

The main character is a girl, doubt it is any good.

Siblings. Boy and Girl.

Getting rid of a guy behind PST and Kotor 2 and hiring a Disney cartoon writer? That is going to end well...

 

[DosBuster]

Dude created a critically acclaimed cartoon, I'd trust him on a video game.

Munich is right next door, I had no idea he would come this close.

Disney cartoon for kids that follows kids. I would not trust him to wash my car.

If you don't like childishness, never read Chris Avellone's Twitter account

Considering they gave him a link to the job opening for Armored Warfare...

Do you have any idea how much fucking money showrunners/tv writers earn?

The average high level tv writer will earn $157,000 a year. And that's for all those shitty shows you see on NBC. So, now apply that logic to Disney, and factor in the fact that he's a showrunner. You have to be damn good to get into those sort of cushy positions, besides, what other good video game writers are out there?

Becuse more money means more quality right?
So Fallout 4 is best RPG of 2015?

 

[Duraframe300]

Gravity Falls is pretty good though.

Fandom, as with all cartoon shows grown people obsess over, is pretty shit though. Other than that, no it doesn't warrant a Fallout 4 comparison at all.

Does he speak Deutsch? Can I stalk him?

Does he speak Deutsch? Can I stalk him?

I know enough German to navigate through Germany and have basic (bad) conversations, but anything else I've studied is just fragments.

Most (15/16ths) of my ancestors were German. My paternal grandmother lived near Kempten as a young girl. My paternal grandfather's family were Donauschwaben farmers from Apatin (then Hungary, now Serbia) via Eningen - and before that, Vienna.

My mother's side of the family came to the United States much earlier, so I haven't found Ellis Island records for them. Obituaries say they were from Saxony, Lower Saxony and Thuringia.

Southern Wisconsin is heavily populated by the descendants of German immigrants. Lots of Kregers, Schornstadts, Niemeyers, and so on. As a result, there's a heavy emphasis on German-American (specifically Bavarian/Donauschwaben) culture in that area. I'm sure any actual Germans reading this will find this hilarious:

The German language is the only other language I can converse in (slowly), and in college, the focus of my history study was witch-hunting, mostly in the Holy Roman Empire/Germany.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Lolwhat Kempten? I lived there for five years, and most of my family lives there now.

Also, witch hunting!

 

[Anthedon]

Gemuetlichkeit days definitely sounds hilarious, like one of these faux Oktoberfest events.

They should remake it

[an Administrator]

Remake?! Why remake a 2010-2011 game?!

The Fallout 4 Engine seems more stable than Fallout 3/New Vegas though, hope there's someone motivated enough to ported Fallout : New Vegas into Fallout 4 Engine.
If Obsidian didn't ever get chance again, to do another Fallout.

This is actually a fairly widespread thing lately: as long as a game is more than a couple years old, people start asking for a remake.

Redux/Remastered/Definitive Edition.

 

[Stinger]

Fallout New Vegas should be remade on the FOnline engine or just generally as a turn based isometric game that has nothing to do with Gamebryo.
