oh no, the peoples of forum called fucking roleplaying game game codex want to know about game directed by FALLOUT leads of ex fuckin TROIKA, by OBSIDIAN jesus
so funny and retarded
wait, it's not funny.

It has been said several times in this thread: If you want to criticize the game, do it properly. So far the Codex has been doing a very poor job at that imho.

Or you will summon critic police?

So these are the writing giants behind TOW and PoE? Suddenly it all makes sense.

POE1 was written by different people, it was a mess in a different way -too presumptuous. Remember how POE1 didn't have romances, that fact doesn't compute with these fanfiction-level gals.

I was kinda expecting Obsidian to deliver another mass-oriented, insipid game, what was the last game by them that didn't suck balls? And we can only expect worse from now on. Obsidian is the new poor man's Bethesda. Tremendous slam dunk, Feargus!

I wonder if they have any male writers who have higher T-count than the buzzfeed male writers.

I see Fluent rated your post "shit". You must have struck a nerve

 

[Theldaran]

Fluent is literally slinging shit left and right here.

If nothing else, Tevinter is more of an interesting setting than Soy Worlds.

Tevinter will be an evil patriarchy with white men twisting their moustaches doing mwhahaha while the Resistance will be lead by women, all stunning, brave and lesbian.

So they are men too?

Yeah, that's what feminists "secretly" want to be

He needs to defend the honour of the m'ladies in Outer Worlds and the m'lady writers at Obsidian

Remember this was their last "Independent" project anyway. They've been acquired by Microsoft and are a subsidiary of Microsoft now as a part of Microsoft Studios. Ultimately their next project(s) are going to be Greenlit and fully funded by Microsoft with their Next console generation (and audience) in mind, and they may either stay hands-off or go hands-on depending on how well they turn out in-development or do commercially.

Can we call Obsidian's demise now and be done?

I still believe in Josh "Darklands" turn-based spiritual successor.

My favorite type of post in this thread is the kind that wants to convince us that we unconsciously LOVE this game and are criticizing it just because we want to complain.

You clicked the wrong thread, this isn't the one for disco elysium.

I am talking about the outer worlds and your jab at humor fell flat for me. Sorry.

It feels like VO budget was a serious concern; even the faction heads have about 2 sentences to convey about their recent history. Normally in an Obsidian game they'd go on and on about themselves with big chunks of lore dump all over, in light of that this could have been a good thing if they could've actually fleshed out the characters but alas.

I don't care one bit about the number of pronouns the writers use or how they cut and dye their hair, but looking at some videos I see that this game continues the trend of having myriad dialogue "checks" that do and mean precisely fuck all (well, ok - in this game the skill checks give a bit of xp at least). The fact that after two PoE trainwrecks they still think this is some sort of clever crpg design probably tells me more about this game than anything else I've read or seen.

Also, this dialogue tree:

- Do you know about Hope?
- The colony ship? Yes, it's a local legend.
- It's not a legend!
- I'm pretty sure it's a legend!
- No! I'm from that ship.
- Fuck off, retard.
- OK.

It seems like every talkable npc has it with wording slightly changed and without any context or it ever leading to anything. Positively bizarre.

Yes, but RTWP please. Turn based is too slow. RTWP can be great improving over Deadfire combat.

Flat or blunt?

.....fat blunt

Ha ha! Called it! I stand by my decision not to buy it or even pirate.... Maybe at 70% discount. Maybe...

Don't worry. When you hit bottom the only road is up.

you are a paragon of virtue, that is the virtue of indecision

Inb4 Epic decides to give it away for free

 

[Trashos]

you don't know that tactics and strategy mean the same thing in the dictionary

Don't give a shit about the dictionary but that ain't what they taught me in officers' school.

They don't mean the same thing in chess either.

My favorite type of post in this thread is how everybody was promising to "kill all the dykes and SJWs lols", but instead they ended up obediently running small errands for a lesbian couple because they don't want Parvati to be sad.

They did make her the most attractive female character in the game for a reason
