Poll: Obsidian's worst rpg

Played DungSiege3, totally unbalanced higher difficulty make some encounters impossible

I recommend getting good because I completed it on the highest difficulty and got the 'chievement for doing so without ever turning the difficulty down.

I finished it long time ago. Mobs and minibosses are no issue but some bossess (like the one from DLC with insane health regeneration, master thief in his lair with homing instakill energy missles that are hard to dodge) were nuts. Still got achievement via switching difficulty. Whatever.

DS3 is a decent time waster and better than PoE in every way that matters, and in a lot that dont.
Fucking codexers.

 

[Starwars]

Yeah, you're pretty dumb.

 

[tormund]

All who voted for DS3 confirmed for repressed fags.
No straight nerd would ever call a game with such... visuals... bad.

people who voted for Alpha Protocol deserve to have face cut off

I voted for NWN2 (Vanilla).

My personal opinion is that we should have focused more on the toolset and providing the ability for other people to create content and updating features and the rule set. I do still think we made a okay game with great expansions, but with the final game it was very difficult for the community to create content which I think puts it at odds with what the goal of the original NWN was.

Seing the massive success of the community content and engagement in the first NWN, what made obsidian think that focusing almost exclusively on the single player to the detraction of tools and online components was a good idea?

A true bro.

 

[Sentinel]

No doubts whatsoever here. Tyranny.

I wasn't the lead designer, so I couldn't tell you - I do know that once Josh and Avellone teamed up to lead the project, things moved in a better direction for the community, but it wasn't enough.

Again, I still think we made a good game, but it wasn't friendly for community development. I remember (vaguely) that there was an issue with some of the middle ware we used. Some of them wouldn't allow us to release some tools we made which made it harder for the community to create art content.

I think the move away from tiles made it easier to create more organic looking levels, but made it harder for Joe Dungeon Master to make his levels. That would be less of an issue these days as the mod communities have become more advanced - but back then, it was a challenge.

We did do a lot of amazing things, like REAL party companions were their own discrete characters, that could level up, have equipment and inventories, and didn't just load in a new template every few levels. You could even add monsters to your party, legitimately. And of course, eventually, we added in the Party Creation System and the Party Conversation System. Those were all good.

I think if we were tackling something like that again, I think we could crush it this time.

NWN 2

 

[Old One]

I voted KOTOR2. It's the only Obsidian game I've ever played, and it was ridiculous - worthy of ridicule.

If that was other user (even mere newfag) I would say - don't.
But since it's you who play all popamole games shoveled in the face then go, connect the pad and embrace decline.

 

[Cholo]

Gotta be PoE. Obsidian phoning it in with somebody else's IP is one thing, but watching them do it to themselves killed any hope I had of them getting out of their slump.

How can PoE be their worst game when they made Tyranny, which uses the same base established by Pillars, except for making everything far worse?

Dongeon Siege 3 is a fun beat em up

 

[Mark Richard]

No votes for New Vegas. That's what I like to see.

Just about the only one I haven't tried is Dungeon Siege III, which not so coincidentally falls short of the lofty reputation of Obsidian's other titles.

 

[Quillon]

DS3, which was the only Obs RPG I couldn't bear through till South Park.

 

[Sensuki]

KotOR2 is the only game of theirs I enjoyed.

you can do better than that

Worst: DS3 or Alpha Brotocol.
Best: New Vegas.

 

[Keye_]

Worst: Alpha Brotocol.

Care to explain why? I know it was very flawed, but it had some great concepts imo.
