I think the main question is, if Atari - for one reason or another - refuses to finance the work required to patch in the DMC, would Obs pay for it out-of-pocket?

So there we have it. Its Obsidian's fault, squarely all their fault. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Atari is the one who can delay the game.

It doesn't matter what you want in an ideal world at this point. They can either: 1) Rush it. 2) Delay the game, which isn't going to happen unless Atari gives the nod. You should write a petition, maybe it'll work. You could probably get a good number of signatures, too. 3) Release the DMC later. I don't care about the DMC, so 3 is better for me. Or I guess they could 4) Screw the DMC.

Which is exactly why it should be rushed out.

Wow! That's about 0.1% of the people who bought the game playing online at any one time!

Ever been to Neverwinter Connections? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's a lot of people!

Is he being naive? Does it matter? You're not getting an answer either way. Lose-lose.

Yeah, no need to ask him if you already answered for him.

Well, too bad that question never got into the 10 Q's for Feargie, because he's replying to them right now. But yeah, Eldar is probably right in terms of the paradoxical importance people are attributing to these issues.

Did that crisis ever even make a splash over at the NWN2 forums?

Heh, pseudo-repeat after they mega-hyped the new Pitboss mp feature. It only got released last month.

He already explained why simply waiting wouldn't work.

Exactly. They should have cut more corners in the singleplayer game to make room for it. After all, VTM: Redemption had multiplayer. Win-win.

Heh, remember when Bloodlines was supposed to have a persistant multiplayer gamemode?

So basically you WANT them to rush in a poorly implemented feature.

Guess what, we're as selfish as you guys.

Or maybe they'll just realize that they'd be better off being exclusively console devs.

I was too

Alright, we'll all be there, then. RP already said he wouldn't be able to make it this week.

Interesting aspects of this game for me would be the exploration side of things (exploring newly discovered planets actually makes sense in the context of the player's role), as well as approches to storytelling (emphasis on body language, 'real-time' conversation interface). Not a system-seller for me, though.

Don't listen to Eldar. He just likes to kill his players.

Depends if they dedicate a live team to it or not similar to what Bio is doing. With income flowing in from DD content, they could keep the game supported for everyone, even those who won't buy a single DD mod.

In which case people like Hades won't end up buying it anyway. If you buy a product that you consider incomplete and end up disappointed, then it's your own fault.
