    A pretty big failure since you thought he was somebody else. Further when did this person resign, what was the timing in relation to the doxing, and do you have any proof he did not delete the account himself for reasons that have nothing to do with Obsidian?
  2. Valmy
    Obsidian did not back down because they did not write the controversial thing in question. I don't see why they should go to bat for somebody who is not them. They gave the guy a chance to respond and he did. And that was that. Firing employees over stuff that is not even in your game is something else entirely. You are already insisting you have confirmation that what you say is true when you are not even sure who it is you are even talking about.

    Wait which one is it If its not him ? It seems to me its Definitely Eric Anyways If you are right(Im not sure about that)that actually confirms the rest with writer being resigned because of his views. It confirms nothing at all.

    Claim he resigned, hire him on as contractor. Mob disperses thinking they won, While obsidian is not impacted. Essentially Loudly proclaim he is no Longer in Obsidian, quitly hire as contractor. There was no mob though.

    There is possibility that Obsidian is just moving him to freelance to avoid the PR from the Gaming Journos who frankly love to play Heroes without actually doing anything. Essentially Obsidian attempt to have their cake and eat it too. I DONT know if its true Its Possibility throught. Many things are a possibility. I don't think wanting to avoid controversy because of some backer fluff you didn't write is equivalent to forcing out people who did nothing wrong besides have views away from work. Thinking one gives evidence for the possibility for the other is more than a bit paranoid.
  6. Valmy
    Ok. But he left Obsidian awhile ago right? When did this doxing occur?
  7. Valmy
    Yeah why would you ask somebody to resign because you find their views offensive and then hire them back?

    His personal info was posted on Gamerghazi, then quickly deleted after he Resigned. i guess they realized this might not look good on them. Hopefully its just Pr move so they can say he is no longer part of Obsidian while he continues to work for them. I really do not want Mccarthism in Gaming, And it doesnt matter from which side it comes imho. What does not look good on who?

    They did not write the limerick. It was not part of the game.

    I still cannot believe anybody is upset about some text hardly anybody would ever see one way or the other. Anyway that text that was linked to is tiny and unreadable.

    I always play my gender MMOs. I feel like it just confuses people in teamspeak otherwise. I don't really look at my own character very much anyway, too busy looking for mobs and loots.
  12. Valmy
    Uh...I have no idea. I play as both genders. It just depends on what sort of character I feel like playing. If the protagonist is pre-selected I will happily play that character. So...I don't really know how to answer the question. I do not really like to obsess over identity too much, I feel like it alienates a bit from trying to play a character.

    Equality?

    Valmy replied to Aoyagi's topic in Obsidian General

    Pushing an agenda inevitably finds opposition. Even an agenda to hug kittens? I guess if they are not your kittens...

    You could have your sex be 'other' in Ultima III. We will never return to the inclusive and enlightened days of 1983.

    Equality?

    Valmy replied to Aoyagi's topic in Obsidian General

    This has been so common now for so many years how do you know it is activism? It almost seems like a convention. WoW had armies like this and that was way back in 2004.

    I completely reject the premise that the simple act of having boobs is 'sexualizing' somebody. But even if I accepted that premise the Devil of Caroc is creepy and horrifying as hell. As she should be. How anybody looks at her and thinks 'sexy' blows my mind.
  18. Valmy
    Something like Arcanum.

    When the suits are telling their developers to make 'Open World' games they mean 'Like Skyrim' because it made lots of money so that is now in fashion. It is not, generally, some big artistic goal as to why so many games have to be 'Open World' these days. I mean there is absolutely no reason why many of the recent 'Open World' games should have been designed that way. Just IMO anyway. I, personally, find this trend annoying since even games that should be narrative focused now have to have time consuming open world fluff tacked on. I would prefer it would be like you say, where people make open world games trying to really deliver an amazing open world experienced and games that are not that would be whatever they are. But this is a copycat trend driven industry.
  20. Valmy
    Yep. Even if the release had been bug-free it is still best to wait that long so all the DLC and expansions can be released and you can get the full experience.
  21. Valmy
    It was Arcanum wasn't it?
  22. Valmy
    Sure. But it is not like many resources are needed to slightly change one line from one character right? I don't think efforts to correct the bigger problems, such as they are, were really affected much by this. Or at least I presume it was not.
  23. Valmy
    Ok that is a good point.
  24. Valmy
    They pretty much did the equivalent in DAI and I don't think anybody thought it was a big deal.
  25. Valmy
    I don't really care about pandering, just don't suck when you do it. If done right I will barely notice but the target audience will be squeeing with delight. It seems like they dropped the ball on the latter goal here.
