    Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    Any publisher other than Versus Evil would have been able to do a better job at marketing. They failed badly at it on both Deadfire and Banner Saga. They relied on the fact that these games were crowdfunded and it would do the trick, when actually both games needed more push as the crowdfunding...

    Even the project names are bullshit. We already know that Pentiment is Missouri. Mississippi and/or Illinois were scrapped years ago.

    Grounded - shrunken kids first-person co-op survival game from Obsidian

    And? It would make more sense to have every Obsidian related game thread under their folder instead of spreading them out just out of spite.

    Grounded - shrunken kids first-person co-op survival game from Obsidian

    I still think this thread should be under Obsidian's "folder" and not under general gaming. Stop being edgy Infinitron. The game itself is very good. Really glad that Adam and the team got to work on such passion project, it shows.

    "Everyone" is hiring narrative designers these days. Back in the day, Obsidian was one of the few companies that actually had meaningful positions for narrative designers. Not so easy to get talent these days. If you compare narrative designing to many of the other professions people work in...

    Hear ye, hear ye. Obsidian has hired a new narrative lead: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ransomlo/ Robert Lo. He worked previously Sledgehammer on Call of Duty and before that at 2K and Riot Games. Lots of experience at least, starting from 2001 but don't see any crpgs in his resume. For you...

    Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    The team went from 12 to 20 according to some recent interview. Not a big team by any means.

    Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    Yep. Imagine that, people don't want to spend their entire career at one company. Chris makes it always sound line everyone is very disgruntled and whole company is about to fall to pieces. He really should start to sign his tweets with "xoxoxo Gossip Girl" at this point.

    Chu is friends with some of the team that was/is working on Grounded. They did not have a writer available at that time, so they used Chu who was between jobs to write whatever small amounts of writing they actually needed at that point. Not sure if he is still writing for the project.

    Staples was the Design Director on The Outer Worlds. Not sure if that was a massive design hit here. Though at least the Systems Design on Armored Warfare was quite good. Hard to comment on the area design on Fallout: New Vegas when the game was made in such rush mode. At least it didn't...

    Or she just wasn't ready for such a role and failed at it, got butthurt and decided to leave.

    Patel has previous credits as narrative lead and since she is already directing the project she can't narrative lead it as well. At least they've learned from their previous mistakes on burdening the narrrative lead / project director. I said Starks, not Boyarsky. I'm quite amazed that they...

    Carrie Patel and Megan Starks already work as Lead Narrative Designers. Promoting someone else for the job would create a void into some other project. Jay Turner and Paul Kirsch meet the requirements and probably few others as well (cba to check). It's a chance to get some new high(er) level...
