Chris Jones, yes. My bad.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet:

As heard in this video:


If Obsidian's Extra Life fundraiser hits $4000 by November 4th, Josh Sawyer will do a marathon livestream of Fallout: New Vegas on November 11th, you can find a link to donate here:

So, this is probably dumb, but I have nothing better to do so.. in that video I posted above at the 32:20 mark Sawyer can be heard saying:

I was working on Fall- uh.. pillars of eternity 1.

What the hell

Brian Heins has a big mouth, bless him. In this interview (at 22:45) he flat out says "Obsidian isn't working on a Vampire: The Masquerade game".

They're working on a Vampire: The Requiem game

They're working on Vampire: The Requiem Vampire: GO.

Fixed.

Collecting Vampires all over the city throwing Poke Balls at them?

 

[Got bored and left]

Collecting lowly humans to be your thralls.

"How a corporate Twitter account saved sensitive people from the alt-right poetry of the transmisogynistic."

(also you see "avellone" in the panel to the right and then you get all bonery)

I haven't been keeping up recently, but Obsidian's twitter account wasn't exactly a great example of social media run well.

 

[Sannom]

What do you mean? Maybe I can tell you if it's changed.

[Sannom]

Well, the guy in charge is definitely not the same than the one in your first link. As for your second, I'm not quite sure it was the tweeter feed's role to make that clarification... in fact, I'm not sure it needed to.

 

[Infinitron]

IIRC Mikey Dowling took control of all of Obsidian's social media/community stuff a few weeks before PoE was released.

At the end of an Act, make sure the player knows his choices were never going to matter!

This isn't about Tyranny at all. Paradox, you lied to us

I suggest you stop posting Paradox news immediately.

It's official. We're finally leaving the era of blue and red, good or evil, hug or punch RPG morality behind. And some of the people pushing for that change are none other than the folks at Obsidian Entertainment, long time and beloved RPG developers. With Pillars of Eternity in the bag and Tyranny in the headlights, Brian Heins and Josh Sawyer of Obsidian Entertainment agreed to chat with us atPAX West about how they approach player choice in modernizing the ARPG, what they've learned from Pillars of Eternity, and how they're planning to carry their refined ethos into the future. They've left a bland dichotomy behind for something more subtle, casting you as a character you may not identify with—in Tyranny's case, an evil Judge Dredd style executioner—in search of empathy, even in the darkest places.

 

[Roguey]

That era will always exist as long as we have Bioware and Bethesda.

 

[Infinitron]

Ah here we are:

 

[J_C]

Great stuff. The very first question is about defining what an RPG is.

Matt is really like a nervous nerd with his fast talk, which makes him a sympatethic guy.

 

[SymbolicFrank]

Does it have hard counters? And things that don't just do damage, or inconveniences enemies for a few seconds? Really unique items? Interesting encounters?

Gameplay choices you can make, that actually make a difference?
