  1. So...I'm actually replaying Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines in preparation for TOW. That was the last time Tim and Leonard worked together, right?
  2. Publisher's decision. Fun fact about the industry: the developer makes the game for the publisher and then the publisher does whatever they want with it. Obvious loopholes being studios that are both dev and publisher or crowd-funded games.
  3. Unless there's a radical departure from how it's been done in the past, the console port is Team Paradox, not Team Obsidian.
  4. I have to imagine that the aquisition came with a new title that they needed to begin working on immediately.
  5. Scrum doesn't use the term deliverables. That's from a waterfall project style because deliverables are pre defined. Equivalent agile term is "feature"
  6. Meh. Looks like I'll buy it twice; PS4 at launch and on Steam when it's available. nbd
  7. Or, conversely, one "correct" build that may or may not include your favorite race or class
  8. Simulated violence against humans = *yawn* Simulated violence against animals = *clutches pearls*
  9. Clicked on my profile name in the upper left Logged out Closed the game Restarted the game Logged back in Issue resolved
  10. Obsidian was never publicly traded. Money invested in Microsoft goes to Microsoft.
  11. All good. IIRC, they usually release stuff around 10am PST (6pm GMT)
  12. Yup. But after the merger, there may be a little more stability that they no longer feel the need to store their original works in an escape pod. If Microsoft were interested in producing further games in the Eora setting, it makes sense for them to not want to arrange licensing for it, or prevent DRIL from independently marketing Pillars-themed board games or frozen dinners or whatnot. In some ways, it bodes well if you like Pillars of Eternity; it appears that Microsoft does too, and they have deep pockets. Feargus has frequenstly talked about a Pillars game that looks like Skyrim. Including the IP in the aquisition makes this more likely to happen.
