I can't wait them to tell again how all dialogue is voiced and you can indeed customise your ship.

Obsidian is over.

 

[Once more unto the Codex]

I’m typing this on a phone probably made by a 15-year-old girl working 16-hours a day, 6-days a week for weekly paycheck that is less than what I spend on lunch on an average day, plus I own stock in the company that makes it.

I think my soul will manage through the pain and besmirchment of playing a game made by a company who may or may not have asked a grown ass man to sign an overly restrictive NDA that he had every right and ability not to sign.

So you will do nothing? Apathy is Death.

What I will NOT do is act like a snowflake whose every deeply held conviction has been shattered by some twisted dark revelation.

The Codex acts all world-weary and cynical and the second that the best story-teller of our genre comes to us to a sob story that boils down to your typical company’s HR practices and we’re ready to burn our bras, dye our hair, and protest Obsidian like a bunch of Trigglypuffs

I can't wait them to tell again how all dialogue is voiced and you can indeed customise your ship.

Can I name my ship and have voice sets by the prestigious Critical Role members, though?

 

[Jezal_k23]

Can my ship be voiced by Critical Role members?

 

[Infinitron]

Wonder if this will be another new area.

Yes. Me personally, I love this feature.

This would give me more joy, had you posted it before MCA's post.

 

[One-and-a-half-Ivan]

2. Peace on Earth by Stanislav Lem
3. Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein

time to spam the chat asking about what MCA said

 

[FreeKaner]

UP IN FLAMES.

One of the reviews for the company:

Company has been around 15 years, run by people who've been around 10 more. You'd think they'd know how to run a business by now, but you'd be wrong. Leadership is completely entrenched in old ideas and micromanagement. Despite several close calls in the past, the company has not structured deals in a timely & effective manner to prevent massive layoffs. Any sense of "open" structure is an utter farce - leadership has no time for you on a personal level (despite the facade of an 'open-door policy) meanwhile getting involved on a microscopic level on projects and not allowing the talent they have to shine. Pay is below average, no bonuses. Zero career progression/promotions, spare in-the-trench or if you're a friend or family of an owner. Massive nepotism. HR is utterly incompetent. Owners have explicitly said they don't read reviews and decide raises based on their opinion of you. Due to micromanagement, leadership causes massive delays in projects due to midnight hour decisions or pivoting. Company strategy is to do the same thing for the next 5+ years with little innovation. Executive producer holds all the power.

- Sense owners have checked out. CEO and owners absent a lot (especially this year and last – they’re more concerned about their new houses or renovating their houses than work), two in particular fight a lot, cold war-style (CEO and Exec. Producer) and waste time for months

And many more.

 

[Infinitron]

It's live...and extremely cringe: https://www.twitch.tv/geekandsundry

 

[CptMace]

why are they screaming
i don't even

edit yeah i'm not watching this, i count on your report guys

 

[Jezal_k23]

Yes. It's genuinely cringey. I don't have another word to describe it.

 

[FreeKaner]

The perfect environment to talk about fully voiced dialogue and gay elf portraits.

 

[Parabalus]

Twitch chat knows what's up:

mobassukkballs: obsidian is a complany which abuses its employees

FreeKaner you were truly ahead of your time.

 

[Quillon]

[Tenebris]

This stream is everything I hate. Is it even worth it.

 

[Jenkem]

I turn it on and I see two gamergirlz chatting about nothing... and the intended topics are Deadfire and Labo... what the fuck? what a weird combination.

"stay tuned for our live exclusive reveal of Manhunt 3, but first let's have a look at the new Lego Avengers game!"

 

[Quillon]

stay tuned for our live exclusive reveal of Manhunt 3

Manhunt 3? really? :D

 

[Jenkem]

fuck you Infinitron , what the fuck is this?

 

[Jezal_k23]

How long must we endure it before the interview begins? I'm not sure how much I can take. I feel my strength fading every second I'm in that place.

 

[Quillon]

Overcooked!!? you guuuyz! this is my jam!!!
