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

Wow. Does this guy understand the meaning of using crowdfunding? At least be polite.

 

I uhh... I don't really see anything wrong in his responses except for one sentence in which he refers to vomiting hate and drama. Then again, so what?

 

Some guy says the art isn't very good. Artist reacts with butthurt.

 

I am really interested in seeing this NeoGAF thread. I don't peruse that place and couldn't care enough to figure out how to find the appropriate thread. Anyone care to point me there? I want to see the

 

The first post is needlessly sarcastic. The second post brings up the tone argument (i.e. I'll ignore any criticism if it comes across as abusive).

And right as usual. I'm only sarcastic when I have no interest in changing anyone's mind and just want to ruffle feathers.

Hormalakh the fun starts here and goes on for quite a few pages: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=491414&page=161

I think the funniest thing is how they relentlessly praise the commissioned art for Wasteland 2 even though the actual graphics looked like an ugly Toy Story.

 

Did Nesler work on Hunted: Demon's Forge?

Also, why "Dullsville"?

 

He was the art director, yes.

And because http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...-the-devs-steve-weatherly.78118/#post-2377309
(honestly I just keep at it because Eternity has too many syllables to keep pronouncing in my head and I refuse to call it Physical Education)

 

Thanks Roguey

 

I find it hilarious that so many people on NeoGAF are extremely upset about the forum members' reaction to the art. They can't understand how people are respectful on the Obsidian forums, and complain, "If this concept art was from a small European RPG developer GAF would be laughing its collective ass off. Instead we have people going 'oooh aaah in Obsidian we trust.'" Then when Sawyer shows up, this same guy suddenly gets his act together and replies, "Thanks for providing some insight into how the sausages get made."

It's all gravy when nobody is there to hear the filth spilling from their mouth, but it's harder to talk **** straight to a developer's face. And I don't think that what Sawyer said changed his thoughts one bit - unless he didn't read the update the first time.

Not sure if this was posted, so I thought I'd post it here. It was Sawyer's response to the comments on NeoGAF.

​

For those interested.

 

That was all really tame. Bored.

Sounds like the artist is a bit of a wimp who worries too much about little things, but nobody is really throwing a fit either. Couldn't have a more boring exchange unless JE Sawyer debated bicycle chassis selection with a rock.

 

Roguey is butthurt about Rob being allegedly butthurt about random forumer being butthurt about the art update. Give a fuck, I do not.

 

Rob's answers about technical part of graphics are educational and he seems to be very open about their work. Stop picking on every developer who gets his head out of cover you angry codexian crows, the game is't dead yet.

 

Classic... as soon as Josh shows up in that thread, the NeoFAGs stop nitpicking and begin eagerly sucking his cock.

I'm not taking sides in that argument, mind you, I just find it amusing.

 

Something looks very wrong about that gal's head, but I can't put my finger on it.

 

Looks like a tranny.

 

There might be something a bit off in the jaw and cheek structure, but I notice that her eyes look strange. It's like they're spaced weirdly or not necessarily lined up properly as you'd expect given the way she's looking.

 

I think they're not pointed at the same point, and possibly the futher away one needs to be smaller, I think the perspective is messed up.

Despite the complaints, this looks better than any concept art Obsidian has shown us.

 

The head's way too big and she has no shoulders. She's a human head on a dwarven body basically.

 

They want a franchise.
