he has yet to impress. there is a reason nobody ever mentioned him as a golden boy / stretch reward in history of obsidian

?

Leonard impressed enough in his career. Also the reason being that he was hired for Outer Worlds and before that had a cozy Blizzard job.

Idk So far nothing in the writting feels lackluster or bad. And i really liked little pieces like Felix introduction or the guy that think mechanical going to dominate the planet, especialy because the dumb options sold me that the player character was actually believing the guy.

The Heavy armors in the game look P.Good. Also i got FNV gives from this shot.
Ahhh no,the fallout armour looks practical while the armour on the right looks like some over designed fantasy garbage lol.

Eh, NCR armor needs to lose the jacket to look practical.
Ahhh no,it is called camouflage! Do you expect him to shine like a star in all that brown-red desert??? The armour is made mainly from metal,thus a reflective surface!

Not everything needs to look pratical. It's video-game and sometimes it's just fine to go with the rule of the cool and make non-sense armors that looks good. But this is just imo..

I just really like non-sense armors like Berserker Armor from Berserk , that look cool rather than pratical.
Depends on the setting,if it is realistic it needs realistic armour.

Heh, Avellone's May of Rage thread is quite awkward in hindsight. None of his various wild accusations about embezzlement of funds, poor business practices and bad treatment of workers got taken seriously by the media who usually jump on those kinds of revelations. Then MS acquisition happens and you can bet Microsoft is thoroughly vetting the books and company culture before they decide to buy a company.

it looks as if dude was just immensely butthurt Feargus will get his dream big payout and hoped he will sabotage the MS deal by shitposting on the Codex or something. Lol.

I see that you are trying for that owner tag now that obsidian have bags of MS money :).

Oh the butthurt was obvious,still most of his accusations were valid. Also corporations care about possible revenue generation and/or reputation generation,they don't really care if the former owner snagged a few millions from his company. After all most all those high up corporate types do from time to time. If F gets too annoying,they could just kick him out on the spot :). Only think that i didn't take him serious was the bad treatment,it was very subjective thing. The rest of the accusations were pretty obvious tho, F managed to burn trough obsidian reputation and capable people very fast. Tho he is pretty good survivalist,he managed to save the company a few times.....even if he was the reason for many of those potential bankruptcies.

How does MS acquiring the company disprove what MCA said? They'll be the ones funding and managing the company from now on, so they'll control the books. If funds were embezzled they might know and changed how it'll be handled from now on. But one thing's for sure, they won't broadcast it publicly.

No one goes "Hey everyone we just acquired this company and found out they were embezzling funds. Since we at Microsoft are known for our integrity, we cleaned up their act. No need to look into it further, promise. Hope you buy their next games!"

Obsidian isn't directly run by Microsoft, they became a subsidiary. Feargus still holds the keys to the kingdom and runs his own books, it's just that he isn't a shareholder anymore and has to answer to people up top.

Thread was too busy discussing Taco Bell commercials to notice Ellie's VA is different.

I don't think the VA changed since she came to pax west and said she voiced the demo with felix' VA and then got hired but yeah she sounds different now.

I wonder when Obsidian realizes that we now live in a post-Disco Elysium world. It's not just enough to have the "main" playing styles, with some side-quest not even featuring all of those. If i want to, I should be able to get drunk with the monsters and convince them to throw themselves into a hundred foot valley as a dare. There should be RP at every moment.

This post is so fucking gay that in comparison it makes Outer Worlds look like a high-T game. I will now play Outer Worlds just to spite Disco Elysium cuckmoids.
