Obsidian General Discussion Thread

[RepHope]

Question: Which game is Adam Brennecke currently directing? Is it the third project mentioned during the Outer Worlds coverage?
(Aside from Outer Worlds and Obsidians Skyrim)

I think it is the Skyrim game he is directing. Josh doesn't want to direct a bigger project. 3rd game is either Josh's game or Pillars of Eternity 3 (which I think they will hand out to Badler to direct). Badler's LinkedIn still has him working as project director.

Skyrimlike is Chris Parkers project unless he’s co-directing.

And BAdler was director on the Pillars DLC. IIRC he hasnt updated his profile since.

Oh Christ, Parker directing? That’s a surefire recipe for disaster.

Aeldys

Yeah it didn't occurred to me before that Aeldys is based on her.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Obsidian's Skyrim better be code for Sawyer's historical first-person Darklands-like RPG.

No it will be Pillars 3: Fantasy San Fran.

I wonder what publisher they're throwing shade at?

Bethesda.

That's some heavy gaming going on in the load screen

Fallouthot Inclinisha, Mr. House's best pre-war babe. Btw is she button pressing to make roulette wheel spin faster in loading screen? Adorable!

Look at this. Obsidian could be making new Star wars game

Why does a fan project that was developed by one Obsidian employee in his spare time have better graphics than the Outer Worlds?

Microsoft has the money to buy licence for Dark Forces/Jedi Outcast FPS RPG hybrid.

 

[Roguey]

in his spare time

That's the reason.

(in addition to that, he doesn't have to worry about meeting certain hardware requirements)

My version of Aeldys is much better:

Even better with some edits to the text, and ripping out the VO.

Because he is most likely the janitor. In this days being good doesn't help you get higher on the corporate ladder. Skilful people like this one are kept in lower positions so it won't endanger the higher ups....while being productive.

Having played Deadfire, I can assure you that this isn't something Obsidian worries about

Low fps is annoying and inconvenient but not gameplay-affecting when it comes to rtwp.

Modding NPC portraits and voice? Yes. We both find the VO unbearable, and the "gurl-powar" overtones in the writing a sign of authors with insecurities who are shoehorning their own power fantasies into a plot which does not need them.

 

[Jenkem]

No it will be Pillars 3: Fantasy San Fran.

at least this time it being full of shit will fit in with the setting

The same way you find an RPG gamerguy who doesn't have a fupa, has a proper job, doesn't have the 'tism and knows how to take a shower and actually takes them.

It's not that hard, really. The danger is that, even if they like RPGs, their taste may be... poorly calibrated. Then you're stuck with someone who replays Dragon Age 2 a dozen times.

Girl power has been a major thing since before I was born, sis! It's in some of the best songs, books, movies, Netflix shows and video games! How is it shoehorning when it’s so mainstream?

Edit: Oh! Totally forgot!





I hope these are going to be on Twitch!

TBH, the entrance drug is if she used to listen to metal in high school. If she did, chances are she also likes fantasy, is a fan of LOTR, Terry Pratchett and Robert Jordan. If she passes that check, she probably has played some HoMM3. From then on, you take over and introduce her to some good RPGs. Voila, you have corrupted her with a healthy amount of gamer-girl-ism.

Edit: Just take care that she doesn't become a bigger nerd than yourself. You need someone to be running the household after all.

I love the theme about underdogs defeating unfair odds as much as anyone, regardless of the underdog's gender. The moment it becomes banal shit boring is when the author starts rubbing the underdog's being female in the audience's face. "Molly's Game" and "Joy" were two movies I liked a great deal, perfectly knowing that they are about "gurl powar" but were done "right" - with respect for the subject matter and for the audience's intelligence. Also, both were based on actual real stories.
