Obsidian General Discussion Thread

[Major_Blackhart]

This is just so sad.

The best part is I can't see any of the extensions. Yet I know it is as well without seeing it.

 

[Roguey]

Saw that. Comes across to me like a lot of wishful thinking.

 

[badler]

Rumour - A new Conker game is being developed by Obsidian and Brandon Adler

Naw, tho.

 

[badler]

Also, the only reason my Twitter account is active after so long was to say thanks to KohhCarnage for some kind words about the Deadfire DLC. I probably won't post much on it.

Can you give me any ETA on Neeshka romance DLC for Neverwinter Nights 2?

It will come out right after my Conker game.

The really sad thing is that an Obsidian Conker game would still be less awful than Grounded.

TBH Obsidian doesn't have the capacity to create a well-designed and carefully crafted linear experience. I think their current staff doesn't even have what it takes to do the Conker's edgy writing.

Grounded doesn't seem like an awful game though.

 

[Efe]

Whats wrong with grounded besides not having us as target audience.?

Stop apologizing for degeneration.

Nothing, really. It is a survival game in a cool setting with kids as heroes. But you know, some Codexians loathe anything which is not a hardcore game.

 

[Efe]

degeneration would be gacha, paradox like dlc-spam or blatantly carrying sjw agenda.
stop being overly critical.

it gave a job to professional bullshiter and hack fraud michael chu

Don't pretend you wouldn't jump at the chance of developing a Conker game.

She is currently directing an upcoming title at Obsidian.

 

[Gordian Nutt]

Someone needs to ask Carrie about the Avowed changes and if she is in charge of Avowed if old director and Bobby Null got the boot

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Yo badler, what's the deal with Chris Parker and Bobby Null (and the art director, I think) getting the boot from Avowed?

Why didn't you get the chance to take over instead of... Carrie?

And why are you even making Avowed anymore if Parker got the boot? Wasn't it Parker's shitty idea in the first place, then passed down to a new wave of developers to inherit and finish?

Lastly, fire whoever made the Avowed trailer or decided its content: The trailer sucks ass and could put a narcoleptic to sleep.

 

[Spacer's Nugget]

Damn, did they leave Obsidian too?

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Damn, did they leave Obsidian too?

At last report, no, they're both still there.

Come on, badler, spill the hot goss. What did Parker do to fuck up so bad... beyond going into business with Slam Dunk Feagus in the first place?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Chris Parker was fired? Wasn't he a founder? Or was it only Fergus who got money from Microsoft?

 

[Wunderbar]

Stop trying to stir up some shit without providing sources.

 

[Quillon]

Gordian NuttFlying Dutchman dafuqs your deal? same person different accounts? and both protected profiles lmao, always posting about same shit at the same time with no source

It sounds like he didn’t want to be an owner anymore
