NecroLord IHaveHugeNick I found a pre-1.8 version

https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic-ii/file/tslrcm-1-7

Should probably be downloaded and preserved

I'm guessing the changes are minimal in that early release?

Is Roguey connected to obsidian in some way?

Bingo. At first I thought he was a mere contactee like Bester or Infintron, but it actually goes way deeper. This person knows too much stuff. He knows who slept with whom, who cheated whom, who did drugs with whom. Even going as far as family ties. It's all pretty dark and sick. You can imagine what sort of stuff was happening at Obsidian. Honestly I don't wanna know lol. As a human being I will pray for Rogeuy, but as a Codexer I think he/she/whatever is a disgusting little weasel.

Idk but most likely it's better than 1.8.5 or 1.8.6. More often than not with these mods the latest versions suck.

On the plus side, some of the new graphical mods are quite impressive. AI-upscaled cut scenes look great.

I can get behind stuff that makes the textures look sharper.
Especially the items like blasters, because they look kinda bad vanilla...

 

[Infinitron]

Interesting that he's allowed to show this on his personal channel:

In this video I will show you the vertical slice made for The Outer Worlds.

Still hard to believe his "dream game" turned out to be such forgettable trash

 

[Roguey]

Tim hypes up how amazing it was for the team to put together this vertical slice in only a year, yet it took the Perils of Gorgon team 10 months to make a 6 hour DLC. Something happened.

not cain's, this was boyarsky's dream gaym

which is worse imo

 

[Butter]

The NPCs look better bald.

 

[Roguey]

Oh something else I forgot to mention earlier - the Obsidian fellow narrating the vertical slice pronounces it MEE LEE what the fuck

Americans pronounce it MAY LAY, Brits pronounce it MEH LAY. Tsk tsk.

 

[NecroLord]

ANOTHER fucking The Outer Worlds video??
Oh goodie...

 

[Old Hans]

Somebody needs to make a flipbook of Cain's thumbnails. He does a spot on impression of youtubers.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

Can someone give me a tl;dr of what his fucking obsession with The Outer Worlds is?

He legitimately believes it is his best game that he worked on.
Just watch some of his videos on The Outer Worlds.

 

[Tyranicon]

TOW is one of those games that showcase why the Recommend/Don't Recommend binary rating system so many places have is awful. It's a 6/10 game at best, which means all the normies will rate it Recommended, giving it massive positive ratings and causing game journos to think it's the best game ever.

Sad. But I think it's common for old devs to go crazy with time. Just look at the nonsense Sawer says (Wizardry isn't an RPG, etc.)

You can kinda see them go more insane with every tattoo. And you can tell social politics have a big impact on them.

 

[Infinitron]

Tim has not made many TOW-related videos.

I talk about a table top role playing campaign that went completely sideways during the first (and only) session.

What's your dream game that you'd like to make? And when are we getting Bloodlines 2 or Arcanum 2? What Troika game would you like to make a sequel to the most?

I'm happy to say that I'm currently working on my dream game.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about marketing, how it can can go well or go poorly, and why you need it more than ever before.

 

[0sacred]

Every time you mention The Outer Worlds, an angel gets his wings.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about how programming your rules and using scripting for the occasional exception to those rules will lead to a more robust game.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about how I learned to tell good stories...at least spoken stories.

You seem so offended for no real reason, really. Is it difficult to understand that a creator can view one of his works as his 'masterpiece' even if the critical reception is astoundingly negative? You must not have created anything to experience such a thing.
