Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

Surely this thread slows down the forum. Time to split this shit DU.

 

Yeah, should move all of Roguey's posts and replies to her into a separate thread and name it Josh's Funhouse.

 

'Somewhere in the multiverse there's a true and just world, JE Sawyer's brilliance wouldn't have to conform to patriarchical ideals. And there, we could be together at long last~'

Maybe I should stop reading otakin forums. They are damn entertaining though.

 

I already know that, doesn't make him any less of a faggot.

 

I reserve the right to call anyone a faggot who I don't like and anyone I don't like who's taste in games I also don't like.

 

you are the epitome of class, Sensuki... calling another mod a faggot to a mod in a different site who might take offense to that.

and then to double down by implying that being gay is somehow something that should offend someone.

WAY TO GO!

--------------------

As for Roguey, he/she has actually mad e quite a few very thoughtful and informative posts in this thread, believe it or not.

...we need an update this tuesday!

 

Don't be a fag infinitron

that's like niggers saying nigga.

 

Do you even visit the Codex?

We don't need another stalwart defender of the offended, btw.

The overwhelming majority of "RPG developers" work for companies whose prime goal is making lots of money/shareholder value. Of course their primary interest is in broadening their audience, not making good games.

 

When you think about it Josh kinda tries to do half/half

 

Then what the bloody fuck do they *DO*?

 

You know what they say about sitting on two chairs.

 

I think he means combat content, not all content. So I'm guessing writing NPCs and thinking of ways to stretch the game out because RPG players are by and large obsessed with number of hours the game lasts.

 

Developers are hambureger helpers?

 

Which is contradiction in terms.

Maybe that's why awesome buttons never actually feel awesome.

 

Ich kan nichts sehen, halt hammerzeit!

 

Well, some developers have bright ideas, such as:
1. Dead Space is too scary and, thus, some people would not like it.
2. Ergo - make it brighter and add coop. Also add microtransactions to a single-player game.
3. PROFIT!!!!

 

I was thinking more like 'Troika.'

 

Eh? I would think his comments are mostly aimed at his own peers. It's no secret that he (rightfully) dislikes many RPGs for their lack of focus on how they actually play, mechanically. I would think he is talking just as much (if not more) about Tim Cain and Troika as BioWare or whatever.

 

I don't know, various quotes by Tim Cain show that he does care about making fun games, he's just not good at the mechanical side of things.

The end of this quote is positively Sawyer-esque, and shows he does understand the problems Arcanum had.
