Interview RPS Talks with Brian Fargo about Wasteland 2 and Obsidian

[Stinger]

Oh. You're not an Obsidian apologist. You're just an MCA deepthroater. Look up Little Oral Annie deepthroating John Holmes in Passion Pit for a visual.

Today I learned that presenting a reasonably balanced viewpoint with some factual basis while still acknowledging that many people don't agree with this opinion makes you an apologist and a cocksucker. Enlightening.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

I wish Fenstermaker also gets to contribute to some areas as well, I particularly found the areas designed by him in Fallout NV memorable.

Agreed.

codex shrine

also how do you guys feel about specifying that the custom npc be...MCA himself

as in regardless of what he designs he has to write himself into the codex shrine

No physical manifestation of MCA in this game. Better they milk his sex appeal for Obsidian's own KS. There should be a CODEX edition with a pewter troll, a romanceable MCA NPC in game and an autographed and framed picture of him in one of his manly poses so that the discerning Codexian gentleman can place on his bedside table or snuggle up with at night.

If they priced such a thing reasonably, at say $250, it would go like hot cakes!

No, no, no.... ! Wait! STOP THE PRESS!

What codex shrine should have IS : All the great devs of our favorite RPGs, all of them.
How you do it and in which way to get them all in; be it statue, painting, drawing on the wall or file on some old computer... is irrelevant.

All of them.

That doesnt mean there cannot be anything else, if its nothing overblown, so keep that in mind.

But we should put all of them in there somewhere, be it some kind of inner sanctum or anything else doable and appropriate.

The tomb of the forgotten developer.

In front of you stands a gold box, inscribed on the ornate plaque in a blocky script are the words "Here lies SSI, a forger of many paths, a trailblazer, an enabler for many. Lost to the shifting sands of the early age, unable to move."

 

[hiver]

Surely not "forgotten", in Codex shrine of all places. Remembered, more likely, i would say.

 

[kazgar]

Revered?
