I have decreed - all discussion about Obsidian's World of Tank clone will be banished to the MMORPG board, far from our sights.

Let us speak of it no more (in the RPG board).

Could you also erase it from my memory?

I will never forget. Ahahahaha. Uhuhuuhuhu. Buhuhuhuh

An Asian west-will-never-play MMORPG was already wasting part of Obsidian's talent.
They've also killed the image of being a Black Isle'ish RPG-only company. The asian MMORPG was stretching it already, but they were just a supplement in that case.

Lets start a new conversation to hopefully try to forget this travesty.

Rate Obsidian's works of the games you have played. From best to bottom

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer.
Fallout: New Vegas
Knights of the Republic 2
Alpha Protocol
NWN2: Storm of Zehir
Neverwinter Nights 2

Haven't played Stick of Truth yet, been way too busy studying for the exams. Will probably get it and start playing it after the exams though.

Judging by reactions and comparing them to South Park's initial ones this will turn out great!

:troll:

I woke up and this is what i see first thing in the morning???? :hahano:

If it wasn't for their kickstarter games, this is the point where i would dismiss Obsidian completely.

They need to go back to Bethesda and beg them to do another Fallout spin-off.

So I'm guessing the new Kickstarter is shelved for a while? On the other hand, launching it now would probably get them plenty of pity donations.

Obsidian hired Liam Esler who worked on the BGIII EE as a designer and writer.

No, that's still going. I have no idea why you'd think its shelved.

Liam's still with Beamdog as well btw.

eremita · Mar 20, 2014

World of Tanks rip off? That's too bad. Well, at least Bioware and Bethesda are still making RPGs. :troll:

Duraframe300 · Mar 20, 2014

I think RPGCodex should know Liam better than me considering he's Spellhold's admin.

Visperas · Mar 20, 2014

I can't believe this world of tanks clone shit...

Look at it this way. Due to this being the project on the side Pillars of Eternity has all of Obsidian's crpg specialized devs working on it.

serch · Mar 20, 2014

I suppose this tank shit is why davis had to come back

ColCol · Mar 20, 2014

Phew ,glad they did this. They needed to balance out all the success they had with the stick of truth.

Duraframe300 · Mar 20, 2014

Apparently Obsidian is responsible for *westernization* and some content design on Skyforge.

I was right that Eric DeMilt leads the team at Obsidian.
