[someone else]

What's the last good Obsidian game? New Vegas?

 

[Nano]

Dead Money, more accurately.

 

[Infinitron]

 

[Sannom]

It's

isn't it?

Only if you went to Brian Menze's DeviantArt page I believe (they've been on there for years). And even then, it was never officially linked to the Aliens game.

Except Brian Menze said one of those isn't from Aliens (the blonde lady).

It's this concept from the Aliens RPG ? Too bad, it had great potential.

Brenze Feb 27, 2010
nope. can't say any more than that

She's supposed to be an android according to his description.

 

[Infinitron]

Isn't she the blonde lady from the image in my previous post?

 

[Nano]

Isn't she the blonde lady from the image in my previous post?

I dunno. They look similar, but the hair style, outfit, and the face all look different to me.

 

[Chris Avellone]

Nano It's hard to tell for some of the models, but all the female sketch concepts are from the canceled Aliens RPG, inc. the android (the blonde, "Echo"). In the concept sketches, it's Raja, Echo, Warner (?), and Pope.

Admittedly, it's not a direct translation of the concept (it's hard to bring a concept aesthetic into a character model at times).

Infinitron It is Echo, Infinitron's right, she's in a different outfit in the image Infintron shared. (The Rockabilly marine, Pope, is the upper left character model, and the engineer, Raja, I think is in upper right.)

 

[Infinitron]

Yup:



Anyway here are the slides from Josh's talk: https://www.scribd.com/document/391034134/GIC-Leading-the-Charge

And the best looking woman is a toaster....

 

[Cael]

And the best looking woman is a toaster....

It would seem that it is a recurring theme...

[Prime Junta]

That looks like a gynoid to me, but what do I know.

Anyway, if you were making humanoid robots and had the tech, why wouldn't you make them look attractive?

I do get that logic.....but artificial things that look like humans are creepy and unsettling in real life.

So are Aliens androids.

Depends on whom you ask.

Those degenerates are creepier than the androids.

Do they have a video of this talk?

 

[Infinitron]

Oh hey, we missed Part Three of that interview: https://talkingames.com/josh-sawyer-chapter-iii/

Kickstarter, Eternity 1 & 2.

 

[Latelistener]

RPG masterminds.

 

[Drax]

Well, I rather see that title applied to josh and the slav than to Toddy et al.

 

[Latelistener]

Who cares, decline cannot be stopped and it's Toad's games other devs are looking at.
