and i've seen my neighbor yesterday. read: who is chris jones? my guess is that they've agreed to coordinate what when to reveal - and the right time has yet to come.

except in the "i want to be a mod" thread, the athmosphere here was good, so far, in spite of the obvious lack of moderation (that now has ended. hi seraphim!). so, i'm convinced, these are going to be most pleasant boards.

as mentioned before: outcast did a very good job concerning this. well, it was very good overall, but the setting surely was what made it really fascinating.

i havent played hotu so far. oh, good you mentioned it, gotta buy it today

there are only two things that count in today's games: - put them in the stores as fast as possible - make them graphically appealing. (i'm aware that list doesn't cover everything) these two things guarantee a financial sucess to a certain degree. you don't gain a lot of prestige and long time supporters by doing so, but your publisher will allow you to develop another game. perhaps, this game will be better. but there's still a schedule, and you have to make money. so, whiy not try it with the same pattern, it worked fine last time. the game after that will be good, we promise to ourselves...

i thought europe was born in africa, just like the rest of our human world?

is he? you don't happen to own a sample of his work on the show? if so, please pm me... (i won't be able to answer before tomorrow) any idea mmorgan has done music for except torment, fo and the district?

yeah... btw anyone ever found out about that black dog in the iwd2 book?

feargus is an engineer, as i will be someday (i hope ). the biowareians zeschuck und whatshisname are some kind of doctors. je started as webdesigner at bis. so i think, with proper talent and abilities, you'll have a good chance to start a career in game industry without having visited such a school.

i neither care for kotor2, nor for multiplayer mode in an rpg. so if anyone would want me to buy kotor2, they should invest a lot of time in an interesting single player plot. that said, i hope obsidian isn't working on kotor2, but on something else. a hope that might soon be destroyed by reality

damn! i had just written something rather lenghty, and then my pc decided to do a spontaneous restart :angry: what i had written in short: - jeremy soule is overrated. compared to his earliest work i'm aware of, total annihilation, the later music had a significantly lower quality. examples: nwn, mw, giants.... exceptions: iwd, ds (so i was told) - hoenig would be a good choice, unfortunately, he's left business. - zur did awful work on iwd2, sorry to say that. - except not having the score done by above mentioned composers, i hope for: style. iwd had it, ps: t had it. iwd2, bg2 didn't have it. designers took things (icons, music, backgrounds) from the first parts and added completely different things (stroy, music, backgrounds of inconsistent quality) without thinking for consistency and a distinct look and feel. add an "imo" in every sentence above, and you'll have about what i had written before.

hi master roshan

just so i've said something to this horrible thread here: ahem, i hope obsidian will search for mods outside these boards here. people who explicitly want to be mods, shouldn't even be considered, imo...

took a look, and found atmospheric. it's not exactly a fallout-kind of world, but really real looking. don't think that i'll be able to play it on my system, though...

switzerland. just like sammael: in europe; sort of...

yassir, that's what i meant. thx for claryfing (spl?).

megatron: hehe, that was the joke in my post. sorry, didn't think a would be necessary... as long as the discussion goes about chinese economy, it might be ok, cause we all don't know much about it (i assume). but when it comes down to the usa politics, to the israel / arabian conflict, to germany's schr

you all forgot, that there must be an idea first, before starting to work on a game. it's only then that all the stuff you guys mentioned come in.

oh, eidos' stocks had gone up by about 500% or more after tomb raider 1 & 2, and caused other publishers to become greedy, too, and almost run to their doom. eidos lost all of their newly money slowly afterwards, dunno about the current situation, though.

what good would that be on a game-dev board? i hope it's not tolerated, because "political discussions" turn out to be a great throwing around of polemic opinions. the one with the fastest tongue and greatest mouth wins. i'm usually not that one, so such discussions suck, imo.

uh, stocks were never good to gamedevs. take eidos, iply, anything... dangerous thing, if you asked me. course you don't, so...

[ot]so you don't want to be cool? [/ot]

i was waiting for these boards to open for quite some time now, and yesterday was the day. i put my rpg-faith in obsidian. also, being one of the early members is always good 2 all these, who don't konw: then don't post.

you all want sequels to some admittedly good games. i don't find that interesting. come up with something new, original, and everything will be just fine (if you do it right, that is). if you produce a sequel to a game with a big fanbase, there will be complaints down to fireland... you won't be able to make everybody like your sequel, cause a) it's not done by the same people that did the predecessor. B) there will not enough / correct references to satisfy the real fanboys / -girls c) a sequel won't be able to reproduce the exact same look & feel of the original game d) etc.etc. ad infinitum real fo fanboys had complaints about fo2. bg fans weren't happy with bg2. iwd 2 wasn't as cool as iwd1. eliteforce2 didn't evoke the beloved voyager feeling. just to name a few examples.
