I wonder if Adler’s directing TOW2? Gotta figure Sawyer’s directing his own St. George game. I would’ve thought TOW2 would be a Tim and Leonard joint. Could they have something else in the pipeline?

TOW DLC #2

I was on Avowed a while ago as the Gameplay Design Director

how far along in development is Avowed?

I can't really talk about timelines, but it's got a ways to go.

Can you comment on when we'll get the cut Neeshka romance DLC for NWN2?

I remember back when I was QA on NWN2, when I first got onto the project, I hated Neeshka so much that I found about four or five ways to skip adding her to the party. It became a running joke between me and John Lee for a while.

All that to say that, yeah, I would support any DLC that removes Neeshka content.

TOW DLC #2

I'm not working on any TOW DLC, but I do play through the content and give feedback on direction.

Is anyone actually playing Obsidian's new "Honey I shrank the kids" game?
I tried the demo and it was exceptionally meh. Seems like an uninspired game chasing a trend 5 years too late.

I can't share official numbers but a ton of people play the game. I don't like survival games, so it's tough for me to comment on the gameplay in any meaningful way, but it did seem to have a lot of QoL improvements to things like crafting and MP base building. I think the game will be a bigger hit once they finish all of their content and make it 1.0.

badler Do you have any contact with Chris Avellone? If you do, do you know if he's alright?

No. Chris and I were never really close like that. Most of the people I know that were closer with him have lost contact over time.

With Baldur's Gate out of the way, Wizards may still approach Obsidian about doing an Icewind Dale 3. *fabulouslyoptimistic*

Pillars of Eternity 3 confirmed. Unless of course you are actually directing Avowed

 

[Butter]

Current list:

Avowed
Grounded
TOW DLC/TOW 2
Sawyer's project
Adler's project

Am I missing anything?

Everybody wants this. Everybody needs this.*relisticallyoptimistic*

 

[whydoibother]

I want them to make Icewind Dale 3, but make it into a TURN BASED strategy game with a visual novel intermission between maps, like Dragon Commander.

Any chance you could give us a project name for your game?

Cool a Obsidian dev. Just here to say, keep good work man.




Also what's your new project name if you don't mind me asking..

Stop trying to kill our good memories one by one, you bastard!

Looking at Larian success with BG3, it wil be far more likely that they will be given Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale franchise too.

NWN 3 and IWD 3 by Larian Studios

 

[Wunderbar]

No one cares about Neverwinter nights or IWD so you can't use them for name recognition. Larian are going to continue with DOS 3 and BG 4.

 

[Kazuki]

No one cares

I do

 

[Avarize]

No one cares

I do

There's you, maybe Sawyer and some other people on the Codex.

 

[fantadomat]

You do know that by microsoft owning both companies,we could see new vegas 2. Tho i doubt that we will see outer worlds 2 because the ip is owned by take two if i am not mistaken.

 

[Kazuki]

I think TOW IP is owned 100% by Obsidian/Microsoft because is published under Private Division label. The game is funded by them but they retain full ownership of the IP.

I sure hope not. I don’t want them to infect every D&D game series with their shit humour.
