Obsidian General Discussion Thread

Without any of the caravan stuff and with shit companions and worse writing, sure.

You played SoZ for the companions and writing? Interesting.

Given that it didn't have companions? Obviously not. Deadfire added companions and they sucked. My point is that DF is hardly SoZ in a better engine. They're different games, and Deadfire fails quite well all on its own.

Whatever happened to our Pretty Princess anyway?

Most likely it had a meltdown after BioWare went completely shit.

Volourn's still around, he's just old and posts in non-RPG threads.

Was gonna post just that. Like many Codex old timers, when you've already debated RPGs and dissected them way too many times, you lose some steam and tire of the same old discussions. People either leave, or stay for GD and new RPG info. But sometimes you can bait them into arguing RPGs.

Volourn was last seen: Today at 6:50 AM

He never went anywhere you probably just don't notice him as much since he stopped playing devil's advocate/honor bladeing for Bioware ~8+ years ago.

As is usual with website redesigns these days, it looks worse.

A proposition.
Josh, Leonard and Tim kindly ask Microsoft to buy licence and rights for Arcanum and make Arcanum 2.

Please no.

Please no.

Why not? Tim and Leonard as the dynamic creative duo and Josh as team autist to firmly slap them down when they get an actually stupid idea could work out nicely.

Let's leave at least one franchise unravaged by spiritual succeeding. I don't trust Tim and Leonard to remain true to the original after all these years. Josh managed all his projects well, but his PoE ultimatley lacks the spirit of the old inspirations and is its own thing.

Arcanum 2, where intelligence scales your damage output with technology.

 

[Wunderbar]

First-person dungeon crawler about journey to the center of Arcanum
Written by overly verbal pillars writers, powered by unreal engine 4 and sold only on epic store and winstore, janky, with dumbed down consolized mechanics
Also no more gnome/jews jokes.

 

[Prime Junta]

Wunderbar.

Obsidian is working on some sort of small game, then.

March 2019 - Present
Narrative Lead on unannounced project.

September 2018 - March 2019
I'm part of the narrative team for The Outer Worlds. My work includes an RPG writer's greatest hits: crit path, companions, quests, and NPCs.

 

[Quillon]

Bet it is Sawya's new game, whatever it is.

 

[DalekFlay]

Please not Tyranny 2.

 

[Wunderbar]

Likelihood of Tyranny sequel happening is even lower than Dungeon Siege IV.

 

[Quillon]

Well, at least she has the courage to take on writing lead and to be ripped apart by codex, unlike some other contract wri *cough* mca *cough* ters :D
