They already said they'd wanna do a Fallout in New Orleans
Big-Ben replied to Itsapaul's topic in Obsidian General
Josh has had various ideas over the years. Frankly I think the man deserves some time off. In a few years if the world hasn't ended in real nuclear fire what's to stop them? Oh yeah Bethesda. -
I confess part of me would like to see a game (A spin off) set before the current Gods were created and warring factions were attempting to cement their religion as the correct one. I'm not a religious man myself but I've always appreciated the way Obsidian has approached religion in the past (I can't say I like Joshua Graham like I would Eder but I do think he's a great character.) and I'd be interested in seeing how Obsidian handled the varies aspects of having faith or none at all. I suppose it would be an unpleasant game though.

People in general tend to misunderstand armor and medieval weapons. Strictly speaking it's correct to say that you're well protected with plate and that you should be able to function well with a small shield or none at all. The thing is if the person all armored up is trained enough you can move fairly well considering even a brief running period. In real life Eder wearing full plate with a helmet and shield would be overkill. Shields are also stressful when you take repeat blows. They also slow you down. Hell even weapons tend to be overdone. You don't parry with blades all that much because they tend yo break. The most egregious sin though is the katana. If you aren't properly trained with that it'll break rather quickly. I don't joke when I say you're better off wielding a katana like a fishing pole than something a game character would do.

I cannot fathom why any human being would take changes so seriously even if they detest them outright. While we can certainly debate the validity of certain aspects I don't feel like acting like Obsidian came to your house and shot your dog is the answer. Evidently it looks like English isn't your first language so some tone/context might be off but I'm unsure if the downright hostility is warranted. I mean the game isn't perfect but you act as if you've been personally wounded by this game and I'm just mystified.

Tolkien's Elves are essentially immortal because they remained untouched by age. They can only be killed in battle or by a grievous injury. Legolas, the elf from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is nearly three thousand years old by the time the events of the books take place. Elrond, the older elf who organizes the Fellowship of the Ring is at least six thousand. The reason the elves in Lord of the Rings are aloof and mystical is because they really are old enough to master many things and many most assuredly believe they're superior. That's quite a bit more longevity if you ask me. Elves from Eora may wisen with age but they've got nothing on the ones from Middle Earth.

Update #52 - Beast of Winter Preview
Big-Ben replied to a topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announcements & News
I personally like the idea of having things outside my playing field. If done correctly it makes the NPC more special. While we could debate him as a character I really liked Haer Dalis from Baldur's Gate II. His class most certainly wasn't off limits but his race, Tiefling and his twin swords most certainly were. I suppose an issue might arise if it's TOO appealing though. I always wanted to cast spells like Irenicus did in those cutscenes but alas I was only part god and that just wasn't enough.
