Poll: Obsidian's worst rpg

[Rev]

The title says pretty much all, but after reading the last page in the Obsidian General Discussion and seeing that some people actually liked DS3, I'm just curious to find out what's the Codex consensus on which of their games is the worst and why.
Not asking about which is the best, since we all know it would either be New Vegas or MotB.

Personally, I think it's DS3. It's just mediocre and forgettable in pretty much everything, and if it had some redeeming features I couldn't find them.
All their others games have problems (be it technical issues, cut contents, general unpolishness, etc), but most of them still had other good ideas/stories/features that I still managed to continue and reach the end, DS3 was just boring and I quit it after two hours.
I also quit South Park before the end, but I put more hours in the game and I consider it more enjoyable than Dungeon Siege.

It's hard to say since I've only played half of them, and not all to completion. Of the ones I've played, I'd have to say FNV is the best (good role-playing, decent writing and characters) and South Park is the worst (boring plot, lame jokes, shitty combat). The others were all slightly overrated but not bad. They all have at least ONE GIANT FLAW, though what the flaw is exactly varies between games.

Dungeon Siege 3 isn't just their worst RPG, it's the worst game they've made.

The Neverwinter Nights 2 main campaign. The gameplay is shit, the story is shit, c&c is shit, the performance/engine is shit, almost all characters are shit (and with some incrediby annoying VA), there's an endless amount of filler shit... it's just really terrible for the most part.

I played all but Dungeon Siege III and Tyranny, and I voted for Neverwinter Nights 2. It was a pretty crap game engine, though in Obsidian's weak defense, it was what was given to them by Bioware.

As bad as I heard Dungeon Siege III was, it couldn't have been any worse than the original game.

 

[Stainless Veteran]

Neverwinter Nights 2 at least came out with toolset, so it can't be called their worst RPG, shitty main game notwithstanding.

 

[Projas]

Voted DS3. I was considering NWN2 OC, but it actually had some good parts and was pretty fun after you got out of first act and got used to the camera and combat.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Dungeon Siege III was the only game I just couldn't play. All the other ones at least kept me interested for a while, but DS3 was tedium right from the beginning until I finally gave up in disgust after a couple of hours.

I quite enjoyed DS1, but DS2 was fairly boring. DS3 was far worse.

Disclaimer: I haven't played Tyranny or South Park yet.

If only I could vote for Deadfire.

One day.

I haven't played DS3 or Tyranny but I have trouble imagining them as worse than NWN2 OC. I didn't even finish South Park but at least in the two hours I played I moderately enjoyed myself before getting bored. The NWN2 OC is terrible in almost every way. It's a 60 hour game and there are like 2 areas that aren't complete garbage. It also features a wickedly overrated trial scene. No idea why anybody likes that part. Most of the other Obsidian games (as flawed as they are) at least contain something that prevents them from being complete garbage from start to finish. NWN2 only has Mask of the Betrayer and since it was separated for the purposes of this poll that makes NWN2 the slam dunk right answer.

 

[Luckmann]

I voted Neverwinter Nights 2, but only because I don't consider Dungeon Siege 3 an RPG.

 

[Fairfax]

If only I could vote for Deadfire.

One day.

You're that pessimistic about it?

They changed the game too much so that my preferred playstyle is no longer supported. Je suis Sensuki.

 

[Sensuki]

What's so significantly different?

 

[Monkeyfinger]

South park sux.
Haven't played Dungeon Siege 3 or Tyranny.
I like the rest of those games.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Obsidian haven't made a shit game. That will upset many people here, but it is the truth.

I haven't played Storm of Zehir, though. It just seems like a game I won't enjoy.

 

[Jazz_]

Neverwanking Nights 2, everything about it was shit but the camera was downright diarrhea.

 

[pomenitul]

South Park. As a matter of principle, because facetious RPG's are all shit.

 

[FeelTheRads]

It also features a wickedly overrated trial scene. No idea why anybody likes that part.

Extremely overrated crap. And a perfect example of the kind of fake choice story-fags like.

But to Obsidian's defense at least they did a sequel worthy of the NWN1 OC because it's hard to tell which one is worse.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Are you guys joking? Alpha Faggotcol is a far worse turd than any of the ones listed here so far. That game was not only really annoying but completely unplayable. It forever soured me on shitsidian.

The NWN2 OC had a lot of good content, bad engine and combat notwithstanding. Dungeon Siege 3 had decent combat and environments. South Park, while I'm sure it is crude and unpleasant, had least has a functional combat system and imaginative scenarios.

 

[Rev]

I see someone has already voted the "none, they're all perfect". I put that just to act as a counterpart to the "they're all shit" but I didn't really expected anyone besides Randal would choose that.

 

[Bleed the Man]

NWN2 is by far their most flawed game (on a repertory made of basically deeply flawed games), and DS3 is the most boring one.

So, one of those two is the correct answer. I'm partial to DS3 as I like NWN2 act 2 quite a bit.

Per-encounter spells for wizards, priests, and druids, and the removal of health. That was the final straw, I was already unhappy with five characters instead of six, and the replacement of good writers with mediocre/lousy ones.

If all these things are so important to you, how could you like that turd of DA:I?
