Poll - Best Obsidian game so far

[hivemind]

Alpha Protocol by far, with kotor 2 and new vegas coming up next.

 

[tuluse]

So I guess all the tales of Codex are not true, this is the same retarded internet forum like the rest where people call you a troll when they don't agree with you and then put you on ignore LOL.
Noted.

In the off chance you're not trolling, I'll give you one hint.

When you start off like this:

And still Kotor 2 is a better game in FNV in brain of any normal person.

You're not interested in discussion

So yeah

Considering my more normal posts were welcomed by similar comments why bother making better posts?

And my second post on the topic was normal one.

I was very tempted to vote AP, but the tone-deaf boss fights took it down a notch. F:NV for me, but it's been a long time since I finished KOTOR2.

I never did play NWN1/2, I couldn't get into 3.x. With PoE released and everyone talking about MotB and SoZ, I should probably play those some day.

 

[Volrath]

Every time I'm thinking of MotB and want to install the game again, I'm reminded of the scars the 3D camera left me with and I just don't end up bothering with it.

Give SoZ a pass. Unless you really want to play a worse IWD with one cool idea (party dialog).

NWN2 is so rough to play I have never finished MotB.

SoZ is a worse Bg1, not worse IWD. And it had more than one cool idea, it had the whole merchant system that was fun as well as using many many different skills when traveling the overland map to find goodies. PoE can learn a lot about how to make many skills useful

SoZ was one of the all time biggest fucking disappointments after the masterpiece that was MotB. Fuck that piece of shit game.

Only if you didn't know what to expect.

Project director Kevin Saunders, who is now working on Torment: Tides of Numenera, explained here:

Historically, second expansions to CRPGs sell significantly fewer units than first expansions of CRPGs. Therefore, it is smart business for publishers to invest significantly less $ into their development. One might infer that this was the case for SoZ when compared to MotB.

Given its resource constraints, I felt that if SoZ tried to be the same type of game that MotB was, then it would fall far short of MotB's quality bar. I wanted the game to have a better chance at delivering an interesting and memorable experience. This was a big part of why we took SoZ in a different direction. It was a risk to do this, but I preferred the possibility of something innovative to the certainty of mediocrity (relative to our own high standards, which we rarely attain). It's to the credit of people like Tony Evans and Nathaniel Chapman that it came together as well as it did -- they did a great job developing the vision for the game and then executing on it. If you dislike the overall direction we took with SoZ, that was due to me (with Feargus's guidance) attempting to navigate marketing realities, not anyone on the team failing to deliver.

Heh OK, so if someone is going to play NWN2, stick with MotB? Not like game-time is flowing in abundance. One day the WL2 and D:OS patches will be done and I'll actually need to play them..

That depends on ones expectations. I got from SoZ what I expected and wanted, another bg1 like experience. I didn't want another PST experience after PST and MotB especially since neither NWN1 or NWN2 were anywhere close to BG1 or BG2.
And it is not like OBsidian were hiding how SoZ is going to look and play. Only disappointing thing about SoZ was that it was not polished enough in what it tried to do (and lacked bigger/more dungeons).

I was more disappointed for MotB as I was expecting a cool Epic level D&D campaign like HotU but got a PST wanna be that was worse than PST in almost every way and also was a terrible D&D epic level game.

maybe this is why I've never played any NWN2 campaigns.

 

[naossano]

Considering the amount of hate, making a poll about Obsidian worst game could have been a good idea too...

Only dumbfuck here is the guy that has no point except sharing how he feels about other people. Go talk to your mother if you got feelings to share. We give no fucks.
Btw congrats you are now at 0.4 hiver points.

Why is there no kill obsidian with fire option ?

Lawl, rostere ignored me for saying RtwP is shit.

MotB.
FNV is a close second, as a full featured game rather than expac, it certainly has a lot more content and the like. But. There are too many issues that mars the enjoyment, MotB is a well self contained experience, with just the right amount of content to tell its story, while FNV has some of the most horrendous, overly long, overdrawn series of fetch quests in the history of RPGs, coupled with a LOOOOOOOOOT of walking through content-empty areas (an issue that comes from using FO3's engine and following the opencrap design philosophy) for aeons. FNV has a lot of worthwhile things to experience, and is worth playing once but you really have to suffer some bullshit to get it. MotB kept my attention throughout the game, FNV had moments that really made me want to ALT-F4.

While I have some respect for FNV, I could never see one of those open sandbox designed "rpg" as being N°1 of any list. Fuck walking simulators, I'm not looking forward spending entire hours walking through a virtual space just to get access to the real meat.

 

[Seari]

This poll just shows how many fags never played MotB. It is a shame that it is an expansion to a shitty game, which understandably deters a lot of people.

Funny, there are those who hate it for all locations being too close to each (you always have a point of interest in the horizon).

It has both problems. This is what comes from no overland map.

KOTOR 2, in spite of being horribly unfinished is still their best game. And I don't even like Star Wars.

 

[Hobo Elf]

New Vegas is my favorite Obsidian and Fallout game to date. Despite all the dumb Bethesduh crap in it that they weren't able to remove (like the Pip Boy 3000) they managed to pull off a behemoth of a game with lots of cool content.

It's also the closest we've gotten to a Wild West themed open world RPG. Yeah, sure, there are super mutants, robots, laser guns, skeletons running around in astronaut suits and white Americans larping as Romans, but still.
