Interview Feargus Urquhart and Josh Sawyer talk about upcoming Obsidian games at Gamepressure

[Caconym]

Obsidian found a lifehack apparently.

Demon: The Descent videogame confirmed.

 

[Lockkaliber]

Obsidian found a lifehack apparently. They can release tasteless casul games for retards, which will sell well because the general public is retarded.
And at the same time they can milk people who liked good RPGs by saying "trust us on this, we'll settle for nothing less than a brilliant spiritual successor". And this second category of players is really the most pathetic one because they don't learn.

Welcome to 2004

 

[Lord Andre]

Won't buy or pledge to anything that has Sawyer and/or Fenster...? Fester...? the faggot who wrote PoE involved. Tim Cain is wasting his talent away at a company that threw him and Avellone to the curb a long time ago.

 

[DeepOcean]

Sorry Obsidian, I don't trust you. You don't want to make a game for my "grognard" testes, you won't have my grognard money, Feargus should take his nonsense hype and insert it right on his ass.

 

[Viata]

I'm choosing to interpret Feargus, when he invokes "Tim Cain, Game Director of the original Fallout", that Obsidian has accepted to make the next Fallout game. That's highly optimistic of me, borderline delusional, but I'm sticking to it.

Why would you ever want a new Fallout based on Fallout 4? There's nothing there to make a good game.

Please don't make it fucking fantasy/Medieval/stone age/roman age/modern/ in any shape or form.

SCI-FI/Futuristic-Post-Apoc/Cyberpunk/ only from now on and at least 5 years from now.

This. But a new Vampire game would be great too.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Atlantis. You heard it here first.

 

[Sannom]

Wonder if Tim Cain can bring Jason Anderson and Leonard Boyarsky similar to Avellone working on other Kickstarters. Maybe even Brian Mitsoda and George Ziets to make the next RPG greatness.

I don't think Blizzard is the kind of company that would let Boyarsky work on another company's project.

While I agree that companions could have been more integral to (and integrated in) the story, remember that one of the tenants of the game was that they would be completely optional.

Even so, I consider them a step up from BG's NPCs. Only a few of them were really interesting to me - Durance, obviously, Eder (mostly for his chill vibe and voice acting), Sagani

You've got weird taste I guess then, because I feel like whenever someone mentions Sagani, it's to say that she is the most boring character.

Boyarsky out of Bioware? They'd have to bring out the big bucks, I believe. And JDA out of inXile? Hum...

Sweet donkey balls, you people are so delusional sometimes. Its a fucking PR piece, what do you do to create hype for the project you're not allowed to discuss yet? Hype the credentials of people working on it.

A PR move that is reported one week after arrival. Someone at Obsidian should reconsider the way they do their job.

Won't buy or pledge to anything that has Sawyer and/or Fenster...? Fester...? the faggot who wrote PoE involved. Tim Cain is wasting his talent away at a company that threw him and Avellone to the curb a long time ago.

Tim Cain hasn't even been at the company for that long, and he didn't join to get a big project right after getting in.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Sagani was amusing as an exemple of selfish demented woman from a barbarian tribe. Don't believe her delusions.

 

[Infinitron]

The thing about Sagani is that she only revealed her weaknesses and self-doubts about her pilgrimage during Personal Side Quest Moments(tm). At all other times she seemed immaculately self-confident. Other companions were better at appearing like well-rounded characters at all times.

Also, I'm sure Tim Cain is very resentful at Obsidian for rescuing him from the MMO slave mines

 

[Roguey]

They even gave his husband a job (who I've heard through the grapevine is one of the flamingly loud and obnoxious types).

Exactly, cracks start to appear if you actually talk to her. Though I see many wouldn't want to do it, since she's well... a clichéd grrl power cucking her husband (It's disgusting).

 

[Roguey]

who I've heard through the grapevine

Just some ex-Carbine employee describing his experience. Tim's quiet and keeps to himself, his husband is the opposite.

 

[Fairfax]

All Feargus said is that he's been talking to Tim about ideas for some upcoming project. Doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be a project director.

And clearly Sawyer will be project director for PoE 2, unless he doesn't want to. Hopefully it'll be Rich Taylor after AW is released.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Tim's quiet and keeps to himself, his husband is the opposite.

So Aloth was based in their relation.

 

[a Goat]

Tim is bottom?

 

[Sannom]

So Aloth was based in their relation.

Aloth was every archetypical "elf and dwarf relationship" but in one guy.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Aloth was every archetypical "elf and dwarf relationship" but in one guy.

No, he wasn't. Not even close.

 

[Infinitron]

Aloth is kind of a cool character in that you expect him to be this woobie who's just waiting for somebody to resolve his emotional issues so you can become BEST FRIENDS, but it turns out that underneath his prissy introverted exterior he's actually a stone-cold Straussian authoritarian

 

[Irenaeus II]

He's also a double agent. Aloth is indeed a lot more complex than it seems at first (a clichéd emo/arrogant elf).

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Sawyer is too busy on PoE 2 to be involved in next kickstarter fig project. Also the "reputation" he acquired during PoE will only increase chances of his involvement in any huge AAA project there will be in the future.

 

[himmy]

These are my favourite type of threads on the Codex. It's the only place where even the typically cynical and weary contributors can let their optimism run wild and free and, in a way, everyone's favourite game is possible. Tim Cain-run Fallout 4.5? Sure. Hard Sci-Fi TB RPG? Why not? Last Days of Atlantis pipe dream? Could happen!

Yet with every piece of extra information about the game the optimist group is reduced to the point where they are dubbed weird and idiotic by those who quickly find their feet in the cynical soil beneath them. Ah, the emotional roller-coaster that is being a CRPG fan.

 

[anus_pounder]

no question

 

[One-and-a-half-Ivan]

no question

This feeling when "anus_pounder" is your true bro.

 

[Irenaeus II]

anus_pounder has been revealing very good taste lately, since his return. Both PoE and AoD at least, I have seen. I also thinks he hates FO4, which is more than you can say about half the popamolers who pollute RPGCodex.
