Maybe the player is the dog.

Yeah, no, but I thought it would be an interesting concept, if the playercharacter was an invisible entity of some sort that would need to ”take over” and control living beings as temporary vessels/vehicles in order to survive and to be able to interact with the world.

Geist and Space Station Silicon Valley/Evo's Space Adventures are games built around that. Though, in the latter you're actually a microchip that "possesses" robotic animals.

Wasn't this done in Dishonored?

(Wasn't this done on Rise of the Triad, for that matter?)

Couldn't this simply be motion-cap for the canines of the game?

If you take the Obsidian logo and assume the O is the butt, that is the right place the farmer would brand his initials in.

The O is the rating of their games.

...is it trying to simulate a tabletop experience?

 

[Alienman]

Seems like their upcoming game will feature a motion-captured dog.

Asian cooking game?

 

[Roguey]

Dogs are always popular companions in Fallout games, and Worthless Mutt was great for the people who metagamed getting him in Arcanum, so of course Not-Arcanum 3 is likely to have a dog companion.

Something's up:

 

[Roguey]

Making people do a lot of work to get a generic happy holidays video.

Brian is finally starting to look his age.

Spoiler

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Brian is finally starting to look his age.

He is 59 with full head of hair and barely few grays, that's some Tom Cruise level shit.

I would say he looks to me like he’s in his early 50s. But 10 years ago he looked like he was in his mid 30s, so it’s definitely starting to catch up with him a little.

I haven't seen this mentioned here yet, but this Project Cobalt by InXile might just be our Arcanum 2:

Project "Cobalt" (inXile Entertainment)
Source: Aleksander Danilovac / ArtStation

As teased by inXile Entertainment itself on Twitter, the Wasteland studio is working on a new FPS RPG, although details remain shrouded in mystery.

What we do know is that it's codenamed Cobalt, and believe it has a Steampunk-style, inspired by Industrial Revolution-inspired tech. Expect steam engines, zeppelins, retro-futuristic robots, dark Victorian-era streets, and more. The above concept art was shared by inXile concept artist Aleksander Danilovac on ArtStation, and we have reason to believe this is representative of the environmental style inXile is gunning to deliver. Venture Beat editor, Jeff Grubb, previously stated that inXile's next game could be targeting a 2023 release.

"Todd's Whisky" though. Very mundane, no flair. Arcadumb.

Now they can call it Bethesda without zenimax lawyering up.

Molyneux would be proud.

 

[agris]

It worked so well for Fallout 4, glad to see inXile taking inspiration!

 

[Morgoth]

They could be working on the Fallout New Vegas 2 everyone's muttering about.

 

[OSK]

InXile would probably do a better job.

 

[Roguey]

They probably would, but it's extremely unlikey that Bethesda would have any reason to get along with inXile even if they now have the same parent company.

 

[Quillon]

Isn't the game he's hinting at at the end Chad Moore's new IP that started before Bethesda joined MS?

 

[Roguey]

Avellone has goaded Moore into answering questions.

If you could have used your current knowledge to make Arcanum back then, what would you change?

Most of my work at the time was focused on narrative and quest design - and to be honest, I don't have a lot of regrets on those fronts. I really loved that world and its characters. I'd probably just add some more Franklin Payne content. One of my favs.
