"You never forget your first RPG," he says. "AD&D kept me enthralled for years. I especially liked the old Judge's Guild modules. In fact, I have a collection of their City State modules, and I still run an AD&D campaign set in this world. Someday, I'd like to make an CRPG set in that world."

He's even interested in working with some of the Judges Guild writers, if he know how to contact them. "I don't know what happened to all their designers," says Cain. "There was a guy Edward R.G. Mortimer, his stuff was just incredible. He was a great designer; I'd love to hire him. His ideas were just incredible."

Standin' pretty. In this dust that was a city.
Come on, living in eastern European city is almost synonymous to concrete housing block.

They have some nicer houses too. I moved from the student housing to a flat in central Kiev I rented from a nice babushka. End 19th century building that had somehow survived WW2 on the Zankovetskoi street. Cosy rugs on the walls, parquet floor, central heating between Nov 1 and March 31, and an arrangement with the cockroaches that they won't eat my lunch if I won't ride their bicycles.
I live in Poland. When I went to visit a friend in Czechia, it turned out he lived in an identical building. Same floor plan. I've been around most of Europe including Serbia, Ukraine, Bulgaria or Romania. Sure there are better and worse ones, but even the newly developed buildings follow suit, albeit with better craftsmanship. Given average wealth those are pretty much the only flats most people can afford to mortgage. It's just the way we live here, nothing proletarian about it nowadays.

It is amusing how this thread is going all kind of different places,and none of it have anything to do with the game.
99% of all threads dude. Loose banter on said game, until game releases.

Then it shifts to endless pages of people arguing over character builds lol.
Oh I am sure that fate is not going to befall this game as it does not seem to be a build making game, being a game for mainstream first and foremost.

Other than shitposting, what else is there to do before the game comes out? There won't be any more important information coming out before launch. Even if there was I imagine most people are trying to avoid spoilers at this point.

Then give a citation yourself. All you have are letters from 1982 and one-two written P&P supplements for the existence of the name.

Otherwise you got a game that seemingly never interacted with anyone from Troika credited solely for work we know others have had a hand in:

Writing / Dialogue / Story Edward R. G. Mortimer

Neither is he mentioned by the Troika members ever again. And those don't shy away from giving credit.
Woah you are a petty little cunt. Pissing on a man's work just because somebody on the internet could be right and you wrong. Also the burden of proof is on your side you dipshit,you are arguing that a man that is credited in the game doesn't exist because you find his name funny. Thus you should either present a proof that the man is actually a collective pseudonym,or simply fuck off wanker! You whole "proof" till now is that he have a single game credited on mobygames. For all we know the dude could have kicked the bucket at game release. A bunch of old letters and some works https://rpggeek.com/rpgdesigner/20147/edward-mortimer ,are a lot more proof that your "LoL it is a pseudonym". As i repeat my self for a second time,show proof or fuck off!

"Builds" - seems like the typical GURPS route this crew is known for. Nothing wrong with GURPS at all.

Also I forgot, being an Obsidian game, thread will soon be full of people complaining about game-breaking bugs

Oh i am not saying it as a negative :). Tho it is less than a month away from release. Most game get a lot of game speculation and hype in that month,just look at disco communism. Ahhh can't wait for ELEX 2 glorious thread to emerge! The hype for the first one was really fun thing to experience :).

We can brainstorm cool character names!
An obvious one is William McKinley :lol:(whom, in the game's faction was not assassinated in 1901, leaving corporations boundless freedoms to grow and prosper)

Other ones include Kurt Vonnegut (whom Boyarsky confrirmed is one of the inspirations for the setting)

Me, I'd rather sail the seas. Sure we're butt pirates but at least we're not exclusive.
I have 0 patience for game industry nonsense nowadays. Game is a roadmap to nowhere? I pirate. Game has micro-transactions? I'll pirate. Game is infected with denuvo malware? Same deal. Game is a complete product out the door without DLC plans, DRM, MTX, etc etc. Sure i'll buy.
Fortuitously enough, this always automatically means my money goes towards middle-market developers (where i want it to go) rather than ultra dark assholes, like EA and Activision. It's a win-win really...
Are there honestly not enough games you like that you have to pirate a million ones you hate? You realize that just by playing these bad games, you're still supporting them, right? Stop eating shit.

Why you to pirate today when you have Codex reviews and Juice tube play vids? You see if game is worth playing without needing to down load her. I do ''pirate'' titles which are buggy and not finished sometime sure but if they're worth playing (Did this with Kingmaker lately 2-3 hours of steam and 300 hours on Buccaneer Cost) they're worth buying when patched and finished I call it opting out of beta not pirating. People who pirate AAA games they claim to hate are not revolutionaries or even poor fags just spoiled children. I don't intend to pirate Outer words it will be either shit in which case I won't touch it with a pole or it somehow end up to be decent title in which I will buy it next year on :obviously: superior platform which values customers and patched.

Yeah, another topic is that when you pirate a good game early, it's usually still full of bugs, and by the time the bugs are fixed, i.e. the game has finally reached a "1.0" state, it's already available at a discount. So pirating a good game on release will only make this good game less enjoyable, as would playing it legally of course, if it's really lacking polish.

Buahahaha,I do pirate everything,because i am a fucking thieve and like anarchy! I haven't played a fucking AAA in a decade maybe,all of them are shit and unfinished garbage. Do even wonder why are they still called AAA when the only thing they do is just pile more money,yet the quality is lower than indie games. I buy games that i really like and the devs are not very well off,thus needing the support. Generally do buy incline like Underrail,ATOM,ELEX etc etc! I will pirate Outer worlds because the fuckers burned me with pillars,and because they haven't delivered a good game in nearly a decade! People that buy this shit blindly do deserve to robbed of their money!!!

Last Game of Ob-shit-ian I kinda liked to demo it was the Tranny but it still was bugged piece of shit even years after release and interesting concepts like the world in which evil trumphed and whole late bronze era heroic society meets (and got ass raped by) the iron wielding not Roman Legion was killed by amount of SJW content and pandering to millennials so not saying you do wrong Comrade but there's no way the game will be worth pirating.

keep giving obsidian that free pass, keep getting screwed over.

That attitude is the protogenic cause of all decline.

During the RPG drought which followed the Renaissance era, people were so desperate that they began accepting anything, any bread crumbs thrown their way no matter how pathetic and pitiful. Game has 3 races? No problem, gimme. Dumbed down character progression? I'll take it. Binary dialogue options? There is nothing else to play anyway.

This is how the erosion of standard occurred and it goes on to this day.

With regard to Virtous' work on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds specifically, Freeman says that the goal is to make the game look "as close as possible" to the other platforms.


The Outer Worlds, being ported to the Switch by Virtuos

"This requires creative thinking when it comes to frame-rate and memory optimization, especially for the larger maps with complex environments. We have a strong team of technical artists who are rearranging and streamlining workflow, and we've set up a VIP -- a Very Important Place -- in the room, which is basically a table with TV sets where we constantly cross-compare the Switch version with other SKUs. We are excited about our progress, because we feel that we're pushing the limits of what is possible on the Switch."

''Me not like Obsidian but gonna pirate anyway because i want to play their game.'' What is this mentality lol. If you din't like their games for a whole decade why bother pirate their game now. Seems rather stupid. It would be easier to wait until reviews and the reaction of people, you don't lose your time pirating something that you gonna hate.

I would not even pirate a game before I see reviews and people's reaction. In general, I buy more games than I play, but would pirate out of principle when I am curious enough but there is hurt feelings involved. Only two games in last 5 years or so fit this criteria - Dragon Age Inquisition and... Outer Worlds.

Words can't describe how much regret I feel about my first ethical misstep but I am almost ready for a second. Double sellout to Microsoft and Epic and everything...

Grab the Codex by the pussy
I essentially paid $250 for Pillars, and in theory wouldn't mind collecting some compensation through means fair or foul. Logically speaking though, I was dissatisfied with Pillars ("WHITE MARCH FIXED EVERYTHING, GIVE THEM MORE MONEY AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!" Regards, Infinitron) and furthermore gathered through Codex chatter that I'd have been even less satisfied with Deadfire. I therefore doubt that pirating their latest game would provide adequate compensation for my mental suffering and distress.

At least via piracy you can guarantee that you won't be throwing more money away, so there is that... however, if one finds oneself continually dissatisfied with a studio's games, one should just stop fucking playing them and cease hoping that THIS time they might produce a game one will enjoy. I blame hype culture and shut-in NEETs with far too much free time for all of this.

Anyway, anti-piracy moralfags really ought to fuck off. The way to combat piracy now, as always, is to develop great games with fair monetization models. Screeching sarcasm at people online hasn't ever worked as a means of discouraging piracy.

Ahhh i take it that this a question?!?! Fuck,i am shitty at writing correctly,but at least i do know that difference between question and normal sentence.

''Me not like Obsidian but gonna pirate anyway because i want to play their game.''
I see also that you are pretty butthurt about me pirating this shitty game and read pass the "i pirate everything niggers!". You must be really passionate about this game LoL. Do you have a Feargus shaped dildo?

It would be easier to wait until reviews and the reaction of people, you don't lose your time pirating something that you gonna hate.
:|:|:|:|:|
Ahhh i am not a sheep to care about the words of some random retards. I read reviews only for the giggles and never for information lol. Expecting a journo to deliver some info in this days is mighty naive. Also i have good internet,i don't mind replaying arcanum while waiting an hour to download this game. The only opinions about games is the ones of codexians,especially if i know their tastes and ass bleeds. The rest of the internet is casual popamolists :obviously:!
