Avowed character creation has pronouns - Elon Musk disapproves, Obsidian art director disapproves of his disapproval

[Meshugger]

I remember visiting the Obsidian forums back in Xmas 2004 to get info about a possible patch to fix the ending. The devs were fairly open about it not happening and they were apologetic about it.

I also remember the biggest debate was about Avellone's idea of greying out the black and white morals of the Star Wars-setting. That was such an issue apparently.

Different times, different vibes.

Man hasn't posted here since 2011. He last posted on the Obs forums back in March which was a while ago, but still this year.

Hi.

HA!

Gosh Gromnir is a legend right? okay OKAY!

From the very first arrival on message forums at the release of Baldur's Gate, Gromnir has always been excellent in staying in character. This is how Gromnir became a character in Throne of Bhaal when David Gaider began to see Gromnir's posts and made Gromnir an insane Half-Orc for fun who was part of Melissan's plan.

Forever immortalized.

Thanks,

Obsidian is very smartly keeping quiet about this. Total radio silence. They went to the Nostalgia Critic school of handling scandals - just ignore them until they go away.

Someone's gotta make a list of all codexians having cameos in games. Saying it totally not out of vanity

Yeah. It's boiling the frog.
The moment you noticed the boiling water, is also the moment when you try to remember when the water was starting to get hotter.
You may not have cared before, but now you want to know when they started to cook you.

In real world experiment, they damaged nerves of Frog before they put the frog into the water.

You should have been a character too. In Veilguard maybe.
