I don't think that's true. Full VO seems like a rather coveted feature - no doubt you will find a lot of support on this forum (including myself, as I don't require full VO or VO at all to enjoy a game) but you will cut your self from a potential player base. There is also no evidence of "VO limits writing". Yes, Bioware games became smaller and smaller in scope as they wramped up production value, but there are also enough examples to the contrary. It seems that if one can afford it, full VO seems like a rather valuable feature to have - both for audience and marketing (aka. streamers) From what I remember (Josh mentioned decision to full VO in his Post Mortem) full VO was mostly a scheduling nightmare - as they didn't plan for full VO, having to fit recording sessions took a toll on the devs - it is not as simple as sending a script to a third party and having it recorded. Yeah, I also thing the "feature" he mentions was the Ship Combat.

I also tried to swap 'a_pa01' file (basic padded armor) within items.unity3d with 'a_waidwen' file details (lax2_characters.unity3d). After armor is equipped the character body is invisible... I wonder why is that... I changed "m_Name" to "a_PA01".

Thank you for your dedication to a lovely game after all this time, going on a decade now? I hope this will get many new players to try it now that fantasy RPGs are all the rage!

Hi, Does anyone know how to customize the appearance of armors via mono behaviour files? I must say I am stuck at the moment... I tried to change the main body part/torso of padded armor and swapping it with chainmail main body part/torso. I changed the "MeshName" (to M_HUM_MA05_Body) as well as "m_PathID". But nothing happens... I tested and even with whole "SubMeshSettings" section of below file deleted, the appearance still works... o_O' Why? The only thing I've noticed is that when you change "ModelSuffix" to something else - for instance from "PA01" to "MA05" - it changes the whole appearance of the armor (not only said main body part/torso) Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Yuppie Psycho, successfully 100%-ed! This time, I played through the 'true' ending, which actually properly resolved the central story once and for all... ...but it was personally much more horrifying for me. Steam lists these two game tags back-to-back, just like this, for Yuppie Psycho: It's honestly pretty accurate, and I think I'd say that cute horror is the best horror. The same developer is working on a similar game that I hope is at least 75% as good, and having now played this game twice (although really more like three times, what with the failed "no save" playthrough mentioned in my previous post having gotten me like 80% of the way there), I can now safely qualify this game as one of my favorite games of all time - it's stuck with me for years at this point, and I still love it. There's something about all the different little pieces that come together perfectly to make it a really personalized-for-me kind of game. Though I could probably play quality games in this genre (this kind of top-down exploration game with fun characters, world, and story) for probably forever if I had enough of them. If anyone knows of any more, feel free to recommend them to me. Though I've already played SIGNALIS, which was similar-ish and which I also really liked.

Finally finished Chapterhouse, the cliffhanger ending is more annoying than I recall.

What I find especially interesting is that Quiet Riot's versions of both Noize and Mama Weer All Crazee Now are a lot better than the originals. It's not very often that that happens. It has to be said, though, that all the Led Zeppelin songs on their first album that are not originals (i.e. every single track except Good Times Bad Times, no matter what the album credits say) are better than the originals. But that's definitely a major exception.

Sounds like a trainwreck that got over 9000 kilos of liquefied **** dumped on it before being lit on fire. Uhhhh, man I'm struggling to say anything about this because it well and truly looks like a very bad time. Like you go from bad music to borderline pedophile stuff to bad cgi in loops until mercifully the credits roll and when you think you're finally through you get a post-credits scene of Tuxedo Kamen impregnating his teenage bride which is grounds to have everyone involved in making this get ora'ed or muda'ed. What the actual ****? If this was a dark seinen or josei like Madoka or Narutaru maybe that'd work, despite the dubious quality, but this is just damn creepy to see done unironically.

Grinding my way through D3, realize I've spent 1000 hours playing DH over the past decade. Worth the wrist damage.

Not really, Trump is a parody of a human being enough. Cohen I've never really found all that funny, but I've never watched enough of his stuff to judge I suppose. But that piece you linked is too much of a strawman. But I suppose is better than labelling them jihadis as was done by our Sun (so basically the same thing as a satire paper I guess..). Right wingers have some reflex hatred for protests sort of funny, given how many jerk it to the Gadsen flag essentially.

Interesting that from what I've read, "voicing every character in the game" appears to be either a feature that doesn't particularly impress players or seems like a downright mistake (for me, it's a mistake, because it seems obvious that it constrained the writing too much and too early), and the fact that "Sawyer was blocked from cutting a major feature" (assuming it's naval combat, which I'm pretty sure it was) looks like a big mistake to an awful lot of players (in my view, all time spent on this feature was time wasted). So, "Obsidian", whoever that happens to mean exactly, seems to have made two big mistakes or at least two choices that made very little positive difference in the game, and Sawyer knew it and just had to soldier on with it.

""I think many Poles are outraged when they see young Ukrainian men in hotels and cafes, and they hear how much effort we have to make to help Ukraine," he said, without giving any details on how Poland will help." Those Poles should sack up and join the Legion. Lithuania planning to join in as well. https://kyivindependent.com/lithuania-to-assist-ukraine-in-returning-military-aged-men/ Ukrainian men should have left these countries last week.

In regards to the new baby Ant pets, I love them! But pets are a bit buggy and they can get stuck fighting each other after a battle. So 2 people playing together can get stuck with their Ant followers biting each other. I'd love for that to be fixed- or give us a "Break Up" option that de-aggros them and raises happiness. That, and the fact that we can't incubate Ant eggs to replace them when they die sucks. - Pets should have an option for you to be able to hand feed and assist in healing them. - Ant Eggs should allow you to incubate them within a New Item: Incubator - and only allows eggs of Factions you have befriended. (Unrelated but something I really want) Playgrounds Creation Items Missing From Playgrounds* - Webbed Doors that open with being hit from behind- Can't make Thematic Spider Den Infested Building Personal Feelings: I would like to make my own dilapidated Building for my DnD Remix" ;D of the Original game! - Broken Small Human Bones- We only have the Armour Stand and that Skeleton is too complete for what I was looking for. I'm looking to create death sites, rather than fresh corpses. - Placeable Buried Treasure within Playground- I wanted to make a Treasure hunt in a few areas. (We only have chests that cannot be dug up) I personally would love for you to add this. Especially since I can leave people memoirs that hint to dig in certain spots. Playgrounds Creation Needs Some Help* -Termite King Organ cannot be linked to locked doors, why? This seems like a cool 'key' to use.

Sounds like germany will have a few more ukraine refugees soon.

Maybe it’s just getting old? Did notice a marked increase in guests and general slow down. Both signs of sudden media exposure somewhere leading to increased traffic

Started playing Star Wars the Old Republic again. Just enough to try out the new story bits and level a few characters up to the new max. This, together with the gear grind made me love Guild Wars 2 even more! edit: GW2 has had no level increase or gear inflation the last 10 years. You don’t lose anything by taking a break from it

But dont you find the SNL parodies on Trump hilarious? Or all the Sacha Baron Cohen imitations funny, I have mentioned this before but he is my favourite comedian What I have found is most of the criticism towards one type of comedy or another is because " my team is getting teased and mocked" And thats missing the point of comedy and parody

Yesterday I forgot to play games.

It's 1 AM CST right now (~1:12 AM to be specific is when I first noticed a huge lag spike), and this is who is online: It's taking anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds to navigate to each page (and that is not an exaggeration, I have literally been counting as I try to refresh pages). I opened and loaded literally every single one of my bookmarks in the time it took for me to get to the Obsidian forums' front page and then open this thread to be able to post this. There do seem to be quite a number of guest browsers at this particular moment, but I'm not sure if the 449 shown in the image above adequately explain the really terrible performance here (especially at 1 AM). Note also these posts from other forum residents LadyCrimson and Keyrock mentioning recent performance issues:

Holy spoilers, Batman! I was planning on watching this, and you went and just ruined the whole thing. . . . Is what I would say if I had received a frontal lobotomy sometime within the last 24 hours. That's perpetually my experience with modern anime: things that are clearly supposed to come across as being 'cute' to the viewer instead almost always seem some combination of manipulative, wrongheaded, and creepy/uncomfortable to me, which has the effect of taking me out of the whole thing really quick when I can palpably sense that I'm at odds with whatever I'm watching. Though there have always been hacks creating shows/movies while not knowing how or not wanting to put in the work to make something effective (usually instead using cheap shortcuts, or sometimes not even that!), I really feel like sensibilities for what's okay have changed to the point where I cannot cope. I didn't think it was that bad...but I was watching it with my eyes squinted to the point where they were only one planck length open, which may have had something to do with it. Honestly? From all the characters I've seen in your screenshots from this show, she looks the closest to her original design. Maybe seeing her in motion would change my mind, but she doesn't look nearly as weird or creepy as...uh, everyone else. I mean, just look at some of the main cast just one screenshot below this one, they all look like sneople. What an abominable art style, and what's scary is that it's so much better than the first season too! WHAT?! Apparently, this more or less follows the original manga story: she appears and then she is immediately destroyed by the Sailor Starlights. It doesn't really make sense or work on any level, especially once you know that these corrupted Sailor Guardians have been brainwashed and actually are good (which the writers of the Sailor Stars season obviously recognized with how they and their fates were re-written), but that's Naoko's Takeuchi's (self-admitted) terrible writing for you. I suppose I can at least be thankful that she did appear for a page or two in the manga, because that lead to her being much more extensively used in the show. Oh man, I figured we were like at least an hour in at this point. The one you always hated was...Makoto and Ami, wasn't it? So they obliterated those two together and now are feeding into the other two? Ugh. I have seen more convincing planets in space in N64 games. Yeah, as mentioned above. I am a little confused as to whether these corrupt Sailor Guardians are actually supposed to be corrupt/brainwashed in the manga and this show, or whether that was an invention of the original TV show when they tried to flesh these characters out. And honest to god, the show doesn't even flesh them out that much, but the time spent with them doing all the silly episodic hijinks combined with the little bit of additional story about them does wonders for them in comparison to this trash. I guess if you don't read them as being brainwashed, and that they're more just "fallen" (i.e. willing) Sailor Guardians, it makes more sense that they just keep getting killed over and over, but it's still real bad. Gosh, I miss Japanese lady voices from the 70s-90s: these are the same songs, but the voices just suck. You know, the Amazoness Quartet was probably my favorite part of SuperS...not that there was a ton of competition, given the bad writing for the main cast, the awful writing for Nehellenia, the wretched writing for the Amazon Trio, and the disgusting writing for Pegasus and Chibi-Usa. I thought they seemed to be the only part of that season that wasn't completely out of place when compared to the other seasons: they were pretty silly, fun, and overall harmless compared to everything else. I'm sure they were stupid in the manga and Crystal, though. And there it is. Guess I did correctly remember that this was the one you hated. ok.jpeg Sorry, I can't make any promises.

I’ve always loved the customization of builds with the use of armor, weapons, mutations, and trinkets. But the new RNG trinkets are ruining that fun for me. The last piece of my build relies on a 0.027522935779817% RNG chance to get the science cone I want or to even play with some of the cool new effects. Please add a station that can be called the “Infusing Station” that will allow dismantling of cones and waffles into crinkles. We can then use the station to combine the crinkles into a cone at the cost of fusion crystals. Maybe even allow us to replace an infused weapon’s effect with our desired crinkle at the cost of fusion crystals. Make this station rewarded in NG+ 5 or higher so it’s rewarding for us to customize our trinkets giving us a reason to get that high. I’ve reverted my save back to a regular yard because of this trinket RNG. I want to run around and have fun not sit at the super duper or killing bugs for hours hoping I’ll get the trinket I want in the next 10 years. Please add this. Love you guys, love your game, keep up the hard work!

Digital Foundry actually covered the PS5/Switch ports and yep, not great. Hopefully optimization/fixes are on the way. https://youtu.be/cJqr2IZp2m0?si=65vddsaskZP2C5iQ

Hi everyone, wanted to address an issue on nintendo switch. So far I’ve been able to start a new game, but when attempting to load a save, crossplay or otherwise, the game immediately crashes. Any fixes? Do I need to reinstall? Any and all advice or updates is appreciated thx. This is my favorite game and I just want to be able to play on all platforms properly. Thx again!
