Quote A blog by @Fishtick Tommy Dieterich has been a passionate evangelist of Accessibility, informed by both professional and personal experiences gaming with disabilities. He can be found dedicating his time to spreading awareness across the industry so that gamers of all types feel welcome in this amazing space. One thing that nobody warns you about when you get a job in the gaming industry is just how many meetings there are. There’re daily standups, gate reviews, sp
Quote   A blog by @JadedWolf Growing up in the eighties and nineties, I reluctantly embraced PC gaming when it was clear the commodore Amiga had no more future. A friend from secondary school introduced me to Baldur's Gate, and I've been hooked to the genre ever since. I gobbled up anything similar, which turned out to be all the early Black Isle games like the Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment and of course the second Baldur's gate and its expansion.  Aft
Quote A blog by @Fionavar I am a passionate about great storytelling especially in cRPG games. I find joy in exploring vast digital realms from the comfort of the Canadian prairies, especially when there’s a polar vortex swirling about! Whether it's strategizing in epic battles or unravelling intricate storylines, I continue to be honoured to help Obsidian nurture this community of trolls and denizens, who have been core to helping them continue to tell immersive and expansive tal
Quote   A blog by @melkathi About Me: As a child living in Greece, I would spend my summers in Germany. There I’d eat licorice, local brand chocolate, and Mohnkuchen (there is no English language wiki entry). Either way, the moment summer was over, things I enjoyed would be left behind with it. Thus, when I started gaming I was already nostalgic. In games I look for that certain magic. I want escapism but more importantly I want to experience something
Quote   A blog by @Pidesco Bio: Part time Network Admin, part time husband and stepfather. I try to avoid garden and house work as much as possible, enjoy cooking and being right. Immigrant of 8 years to the Nordics from the Mediterranean, I actually like the cold weather.   For a while now, I've wanted to write something about me and Obsidian. About the history, about the community, about the games. From Sith Lords and Project New Jersey up
Quote Commentary on the Combat-Related NPC Behaviour/AI in The Outer Worlds A blog by @Hawke64 Emerald Vale is the starting area of The Outer Worlds, introducing the player to the systems and the setting. The planet belongs to the Spacer’s Choice corporation, whose colony is on the brink of collapse. After discovering the body of their expected companion and going through a basic tutorial (how to hide, talk, and shoot), the player is free to explore a large map, while th
Quote We are What We Play A blog by @MedicineDan   Quote Bio: This post is in itself a biography. Some of you know me as Eldar. The rest of you are alts. : Eldar’s faint smile with one raised eyebrow icon : I believe, somewhere in our hearts, we are what we play. We don’t become angry half orcs slaughtering villagers or bold knights fighting for justice, but those ideas become part of our person. They swirl around in our heads like swarms of
Quote   My Gaming Journey A Blog by @BruceVC   "Where did it start? How did it start? These are questions I asked myself when I made this post. The question being “my love of fantasy and fantasy RPG PC games? And why not Sci-fi, why fantasy as my favourite genre?" For me it was the late 1970’s, I was young and don’t remember much but I do remember my dad reading to us Enid Blyton’s “The Magic Faraway Tree” and that’s where it started.
Quote   Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire & End-Game Design A blog by @Hawke64   Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a computer/classic roleplaying game (CRPG), which explores the topics of personal freedom and responsibility, religion, and colonialism. The story takes place in the (fictional, but it is obvious) Deadfire archipelago, where several local and foreign factions stand in uneasy peace, while the protagonist follows a reborn god
Quote   A life long (and a long life) video gamer A blog by @Gorth   Since this is a "history" post, I'll start with the oldest stuff first and work my way towards the current time, here and now on the Obsidian boards 😊 I often deny having owned a gaming console and that is technically correct. But... long unrelated story, I grew up with relatives who were "junkies" (heroin addicts) and they would often rob stores and homes for things to
Hail and well met!   A few months ago we set up a few options for additional content for Pathfinder Adventures that would leverage more of the Rise of the Runelords campaign.   We had a few choices available. It could have been another "Tale" to follow up what we were doing with Valeros (I believe the unofficial poll had Ezren in the lead to be the next adventure), a side quest hub (really popular idea internally especially since I suggested it), and a follow up Goblin Deck t
Greetings Obsidian Fans!   We’re extremely excited about our upcoming RPG, and we know you are too. We wish we could tell you all about it right now… but we’re going to hold off until the time is right. What we did want to talk about was a question a lot of you have been raising: “Will this upcoming game feature any lootboxes or other microtransactions?”   The answer is simply: “no.” No microtransactions, of any kind, in our game.   We also wanted to say a word abou

Hey everyone! Your friendly, neighborhood, marketing drone here with what I hope will be an eye-opening insight into gamers' thoughts on DLC. First off: a big thank you to everyone who participated in our survey. Hearing your thoughts helps us understand your opinions better, and make better games.   Background   For those who don't know, on October 4, 2017, we published a survey, asking some key questions about players' preferences regarding DLC, and a bit about their backgr
Well met, Adventurers!   As we mentioned in an earlier post, pricing changes are coming to our store. Why did we decide to make these changes? Several reasons: first, and most importantly, we got feedback from our players (both directly through comments and through watching what is and is not actually being bought), about what items they wanted to see at what pricing. We listened to these comments and made changes we think make sense, while still making business sense for the product.
Rise of the Goblins   We are proud to announce that we have new content coming to Pathfinder Adventures in the form of a new campaign, Rise of the Goblins.     In our push to bring some quality of life features to Pathfinder Adventures AND release this for desktop it has been a severe content drought. When you have comments like, "Is this game even supported anymore?" and, "I wish the wait for new content was only as long as the wait from deck 3 to 4..." you know it
Greetings, Ambassadors! Obsidian is pleased to announce that the Pathfinder Ambassador Program is up and running, and that qualified players of Pathfinder Adventures are eligible to join as of this moment! What is the Ambassador Program? For an in-depth discussion of the details of the Pathfinder Ambassador Program, you can visit this post. However, if you'd prefer to stay here, the short version is this: if you have spent $25 USD or more on the mobile version of Pathfinder Adventures, or you
It's been quite some time since I've given an update on Pathfinder Adventures and for that, I am deeply sorry.   In that time, the team has had some changes in both priorities and members. In the end, though, we have continued to work on making Pathfinder Adventures more accessible to existing users and to hopefully expose a new group of gamers to the world of Golarion and the iconic characters that travel within.   Some of you might be saying, "Hey, why did we have to wait s
Hail and well met,   It's been a little while since I have written an update and I wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of some upcoming global changes that are coming to Pathfinder Adventures.   Valentine's Day:   In time for Valentine's Day we have a few themed bundles coming up featuring Valeros and Harsk. Both characters have a new look, slightly alternate stats, come with a promo weapon, and chests. Are you #TeamValeros or #TeamHarsk?   Team Va
Hello friends,   I am hoping that the immediate reaction to seeing my name to a post isn't, "Oh crap, the Destroyer of Dreams is going to share some bad news." Far from it, actually! I bring great and wonderful news, along with happy tidings, and such.   This blog means that I wasn't completely full of malarkey and that there is a Deck 6 release. I also kept my word that it would be before the holidays. Albeit, barely, but still before. For more infor on Deck 6, check out the
I want to thank you all for taking the time to read this. I usually prefer that other team members make posts because they can go into details on long awaited features. Instead, you get me who gets to share a bit of how timing affects what releases and when. I am even sometimes right!   On to it!   We have Deck 6 coming out very soon. We are trying to make sure that it comes out prior to any holiday breaks and we have some additional cards and features we are trying to come o
Hey, guess what!   Deck 5 will be out very soon! That's right, Sins of the Saviors will be here!   It's got a few crazy scenarios with new mechanics like Rimeskull with the Sihedron Circle Location. This is what the location text from the physical card game says:   Build 7 “Stone Head” location decks using the deck list from this card plus 1 henchman. Characters may not move to the Sihedron Circle or encounter cards from its location deck until all Stone Head l
Many of you discovered that a Treasure card got into our phone release, the Vermilion Rhomboid. And about eight of you figured out how to get it without opening a Treasure Chest. The secret lies within this blog...     It is the first in a small series of Treasure Cards based on Azlaniti Stones. The concept of each these cards is based on Pathfinder's answer to "Ioun" Stones found in the pages of Pathfinder Chronicles: Seeker Of Secrets (which is also the source of the Wayfin
The Stone Giants are Coming!   I have some exciting news! The Fortress of the Stone Giants is just weeks away. When we last left our heroes, having saved the sleepy coastal town of Sandpoint multiple times (from bandits, a dragon, goblins, zombies and ghouls), they briefly turned their attention to rescuing Turtleback Ferry and Fort Rannick from ogres and flooding. Now they've returned to the coast to find "Sandpoint Under Siege."     The town is in the middle of an
