What's this Skyrim killer?

Skyrim 2.

 

[Morgoth]

Josh's non-violent game team which should also be small I guess.

This must be his long-time passion project set in the HRE lulz.

Sawyer should leave Obsidian and open a bike shop

Was referring to this, comrade -- he could live it so he wouldn't have to make us do it:

What he really wants to make is another Fallout sequel/NV caliber game that people will drool over and shower him with questions for another decade but admitting that would ruin his hipster image.

Bike Shop game... ok Josh

 

[TT1]

We had a pitch about a RPG Bike shop here in this forum. Let me try to find.

this:

A bike shop simulator set in 1816/17 europe, the year without summer. Desperation spreads across Europe as the eruption of Mount Tambora sets off a global volcanic winter. The crops are failing, people are starving, crime is on an alltime high. Because of this, Baron Karl von Drais invents the "Laufmaschine", the first velocipede, as substitute for horses which died to starvation or mass slaughter. You are one of the manufacturers sent out by the baron to bring the invention to Paris in france. You have to build up supply and production chains, set up shops and hire salesmen, deal with restrictive regulations of the city council and lobby for new street pavements to improve the mobility of your invention.

You also learn soon that you have to hire mercenaries and private detectives to protect your business from criminal gangs who are trying to employ protection racket on your shops. And then there also is this mysterious group of hooded people with anonymous members spread across both bourgeoisie and aristocracy, who try disrupt your business and blackmail you into store closure because you "intervene with the great plan"...

Better than anything that Sawyer could create.

Wasn't there a mod that made survival mode in NV less dumb? I sleep for 8 hours and nearly die of thirst.

[Quillon]

don't bother Josh, they are already planning how to push a shitty agenda as you are explaining

 

[vortex]

Saywer should tell writers straight that story is more important than being an agenda sower. This is #1 rule when writing games.

And they not gonna listen to him, because he has no credibility at this point everyone is aware he has no talent so taking tips on writing from him is decline and even SJW turds obsidian writers know that

Did Leonard possibly get a promotion?

https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonard-boyarsky-b9882a16/

• Co-Game Director, Creative Director
  
  Company Name
  
  Obsidian Entertainment
  
  Full-time
  
  Dates Employed Apr 2016 – Present
  Employment Duration 3 yrs 8 mos

He updated his profile recently with job titles (and fully linked it to Obsidian). So, I guess he's staying. I'm more interested if the Creative Director position refers to Avellone's former position.
