Obsidian General Discussion Thread

:mrpresident:

 

While I appreciate the clarification, I think jumping to their defense like this will only fuel the flames of speculation. I can already imagine the Kotaku headlines: 'Bethesda developer denies Obsidian developed Fallout spin-off on racist fanforum'.

 

It's so sad when trolls get trolled.

 

Truth be told, this was more a test to see if it would somehow spread to sites like Kotaku.

Regardless, I now have a talking point with the ladies: 'How is it you have 1,068 messages and no brofists Dosbuster?'

Freedom feels good.

 

I was going to let it go until he started posting OEI and my twitter posts.

 

Oh, you were definitely in the right. Be sure to divulge more insider information whenever you feel like it.

 

It doesn't matter but I wasn't trying to prove OEI were working on a Fallout game, I was just trying to prove Bethesda and Obsidian still have a good relationship with each other. Also, for the record, I did say no one should believe me.

 

This is the codex, we don't believe Toddy's lies nor we believe his underlings.
Obsidian is so working on FO4.5

There, I said it. If I'm wrong then you can double my brofists.

 

Look guys, I heard from a source of mine that come next week I'll be promoted to CEO of Zenimax Media, now you shouldn't believe this since I can't reveal said source but it's gonna be pretty cool.

 

Actually, you don't know anything.

 

Don't be rude.

 

badler falling into the swing of things around here.. looks like someone can handle the bantz

 

God damn Dosbuster.

 

I just really love to read forum conspiracy theories about what we are doing. The best part is when someone actually suggests something that is correct, but extremely specific. Makes me wonder if it is actually a developer posting. I haven't seen that in a while, though.

 

We know you are working on pre-production of PoE 2, at least. 3D Modelling, Story Design maybe some first pass area artwork ect.. This is bill from Armoured Warfare.. don't tell sawyer.

EDIT
Just got back from Carrie's desk.. the new companions are shaping up great.. Sometimes I like to pretend I still work at an RPG making company.. okay back to programming tank guns.

EDIT EDIT:
Anthony Davis just broke the build.. I'm getting yelled at in Russian. Thanks bro.

 

Jon is cool though, he used to work for Obsidian even though he at one point forgot update his job title from Junior Programmer, to Programmer.

 

You mean you get threatened in Russian.

 

Come on, man. I expect a prediction, not an obvious fact.


... don't hurt me, Anthony.

 

So...is there another project in addition to AW, PoE2, Pathfinder and Tyranny?

 

PoE 2 was semi-confirmed by Feargus slightly before release of Pillars of Eternity, it's on google somewhere in an interview

 

True, from the looks of it Tyranny does look a bit different from generic fantasy with dragons. The premise itself is very much different from those just alone, so even though it is fantasy based, there's still freshness to it. Another "generic" fantasy rpg after PoE would be kinda of disappointment when there's so many different settings they could be working on.

Yes, a smaller project can be highly profitable for Obsidian as proved by PoE. If they save up some of those profits, they just might get to make their own "Skyrim" at some point if their recent success continues and they don't just use all that money on crack and whores.

 

Well, not after Feargus assassinated funcroc. Everyone else is just too scared to take his place after what happened to it/him.

 

I wasn't asssassinated so far.

Though I have been lax on my stalking duties since a year ago, so uhm, sorry badler

 

funcroc was a legend even when I started in 2006. At one point I thought funcroc was a developer or had a developer contact. He was that on point at times.

 

Hey, Cadius, kudos for clarifying!
BTW why don't other folks from Bethesda post here? We would like to see, say, Todd Howard posting on Codex!
