Turns out the description on the comic con page is somewhat less accurate.

why not involve rpgcodex in the design process ???

"it's shit", "but is it balanced?", "where's chris avellone"

Pillars of Eternity, Neverwinter Nights 2, Knights of the Old Republic 2, South Park: The Stick of Truth-do any of these games sound familiar?

Strange, can't they mention New Vegas? It's probably their most known game.

I really wonder if Salgado will get to say anything considering he pretty much made Oblivion playable with his mod.

He got to talk a bit here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/article.php?id=9595

 

[Athelas]

Will there be a Codex representative at this thing?

 

[Copper]

That's one ugly poster

 

[agris]

Does this confirm Kaz and Bobby being too ugly for promotional material?

 

[Atchodas]

Someone who goes to Comic Con please , punch fuckin SJWayer in the face , and tell something like "where is your balance now bitch"

A codex "interview" with some freak from here. Maybe too harsh, poor JES.

 

[Atchodas]

Since when punching someone in the face is "harsh" ... jeez.... that western world.

Lol thanx man!

I'm very suspicious of Sawyer here, he tends to portray himself as "grim introvert with a penchant for history and diogenes" but there's an awful lot of selfies for someone so weary of this world. What game is the dark lord playing? Image re-building now that he is de facto cult leader?

 

[agris]

or he's a human being with a rich inner-life that gives him the confidence to express himself through various ways as he sees fit without risking a complete crisis of identity.

or something.

I was going with bi-polar evil one who rewards his allies with thousands of dollars and curses his enemies with incessant balance patches at the flick of a wrist.
My theory's more fun.

 

[Trodat]

Maybe Josh is just a happy hippie who likes driving around in his Volkswagen type 2 bus.

I wonder how many thousands photos of Sawyer were taken, before he managed to make a proper smile

[Trodat]

I think that Josh pic is from a very old PoE (Project Eternity) video.
