That is a lot of fucking money. How much did you give to Obsidian for PoE?

 

Someone's gonna be pretty butthurt come 2016.

A Codexian Adventure game writer gets a gig on mostly non-combat game.



We're only missing Pyke now, I guess

 

I did get my start writing for a jRPG!

 

$250. I reckon I'll at the very least be able to break even by selling my unopened signed collector's edition to some Obsidrone who got a job in the years following the Kickstarter campaign.

I'm getting some kind of limited edition art print and statuette thing from T:ToN, also the collector's edition box. If the game's shit, they'll be worth about tree fiddy.

 

yeah I paid $250 + extras for Audio CD and Playing Cards. Going to sell mine too when the DRM-free disc gets sent out.

 

Great, we now have a scapegoat to blame for everything when Tworment ends up sucking!

 

I though we were going to blame Fargo and Cook for that. Fargo had it coming for making a bit underwhelming sequel to Wasteland 2 and Cook was responsible for ruining Planescape with faction wars.

 

but neither fargo nor cook post here so they're not good enough

 

We shouldn't be too hard on devs posting here. Annie was chased off and now she's some sort of agressive SJW psychopath. Considering the fact that Sol Invictus become a commie it appears that one can truly leave Codex only at a cost of his sanity.

 

Irenaeus

 

A bit, eh?

What a critique. Thats going to just ruin Fargo and make him reconsider the games they are making you retarded stupid fanboi.

 

I'm game

 

Everything is shit.

 

Right, we should just forget Fargo and blame everything on cook. I've just remembered that he is also responsible for fucking-up DnD with his retarded 3rd edition.

 

Runs way better on my old rig than W2 or DOS (even on low graphic settings).

 

In this context, you sound like a man in deep denial about his micropenis.

 

Maybe for a few people like you, most people liked 3e more than AD&D. 3e was not perfect but it was much better than AD&D.

 

I believe InXile wanted Pyke to be a part of TToN team, but he's too busy with Stasis.

 

3rd edition is only good for buildwankery. There is a reason why quality settings stopped being released after the 3rd edition rolled in.

 

and the connection between ruleset and settings is...?

AD&D was just dumb. From the "lower is better" inverted logic and weird save/thac0 progressions to incredibly simplistic character advancement. 3rd edition went a bit overboard with multiclassing (I liked AD&D's take more) and prestige classes, but overall it's a much better, more developed system.

 

A player that is just interested in role playing and adventuring could just pick-up a game, roll a character and start playing in ADnD. In 3rd edition a player like that is almost guaranteed to fuck-up his character somehow, either by distributing stats incorrectly, choosing a wrong feat or playing a non-caster class. In addition, if he's playing with an experienced player he will very soon feel useless. Since people who are not interested in build-wankery are not longer welcome to the game there is no reason to release materials for them. Like Planescape for example. Despite trying many times, I was unable to play 3rd edition for a longer period of time in my group, it couldn't even beat Warhammer FRPG which is a mess, but at least not a convoluted mess. ADnD was all-right, all it did wrong was that weird druid progression and racial race limits, and both of these can be safely ignored.
