What is wrong with Fig?

That Brian Heins interview kinda hinted that it's a White Wolf IP, just not Vampires and I bet it's not Werewolves either since Cyanide is making that game. I guess we will be guessing for a year or so before they will actually be able to say anything about the game..

Jay Fong's Linkedin profile says he is working on some unannounced 3rd action rpg (next-gen console). Sooo PC/PS4/Xbox confirmed for the Cain&Boyarsky project? https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayfong?authType=name&authToken=xKbB

I'm pretty sure Bethesda excludes any future Obsidian made Fallout games. If those morons at Bethesda has any sense they would allow Obsidian to make an old school Fallout cRPG with a smaller team or something similar to New Vegas. But alas, they are too busy making their own ***t that weirdly some people want to play and won't let anyone else actually make proper game in the universe. Obsidian has 4 teams at the moment: Pillars of Eternity 2 (lead by Josh) Armored Warfare Pathfinder Card Game (very small team) And whatever Tim Cain is working on with Leonard Boyarsky (Unreal Engine game, so not a Fallout)

Dating simulator / high school crpg!

If I may ask is that the English or Colonial Civil War? I've always wanted to play/face off against the Man of Blood, Prince Rupert, Cromwell, Fairfax, the NMA etcetera. Not to say that the American conflict was uninteresting, far from it, but I feel that our internal conflict is rather overlooked. It's the American Civil War. Hopefully though once they are finished with this game they will go after Napoleonic Wars and the Colonial Civil War. I would imagine there's just that much more source material for the American civil war (in english) than there is for the Napoleonic Wars and Colonial Civil War that it makes sense for them to start with the American Civil War.

Ultimate General: Civil War. Got it from Steam on some sale, still in early access but there's already loads of battles to be fought. Really enjoying the game so far. Dying Light: Whatever the addon / DLC is called. Getting annoyed with all of them big *** zombies that eat tons of damage without dying and with the bugs where you get stuck inside the car.

Yeah it was Chris. What is that "scandal" did Sawyer cause? If I remember correctly gamebyro never performed well with ps3 either with Oblivion or FO3/Vegas. Don't know about Skyrim. Ye, he got flak from that Gamebryo comment afaik.

My urge to play Farcry 4 stopped quite suddenly when we realized that you can't play through the story in co-op mode. What kinda modern game has co-op mode but doesn't support story mode in said co-op mode? Needless to say we were both quite pissed off once we realized that Ubi ****ed us over.

That was Josh sawyer if i remember correctly. No, it definately was Chris. Sawyer caused the buggy PS3 code "scandal"

You are few pages late to the "party".

True, it would have been public pretty soon. Still Mr.Avellone made it his mission to be the one to "leak" the story. Could have waited for people from Obsidian to actually be the 1st to mention it on social media, or media. Feargus has been pretty open about the layoffs everytime, I'm pretty sure he wasn't avoiding the issue. He didn't have to make any statements or anything due to Chris being Chris. Feargus takes the layoffs hard everytime, I'm pretty sure he had more important issues to deal with than make sure the he gets to break the news before some ****ish ex-partner does it for him. Yes, I'm sure the people affected were glad about it, I'm not denying that. There's still better ways to do it, and better timing. More than that I'm worried about mail.ru just deciding to take some work back to Moscow, what stops them from doing it again and again?

I would imagine those layoffs were already public knowledge by then. Now the whole thing was given away by MCA which makes it seem more than just genuine "hope you all find a job soon".

If that really was his only motivation for that retweet he could have done it privately, instead he went public with his inside information to create "havoc". Instead of classy, he chose d***/a******* way to do it.

Someone from Obsidian commented this on RPGcodex saying the layoffs aren't drastic. He couldn't comment any more than that. Avellone being a massive d*** again.

Farcry 4. Sometimes I wonder if Ubisoft just loves to torment players with the long ass cutscenes.

I finished the game yesterday, for some reason I didn't get an achievement for finishing the game. I thought I ended up playing quite chaotically by killing everyone, or maybe I betrayed my alliance with Ashe too late? Didn't get to see the The Burning Library so I think I did something wrong, I did get the option to go there but I opted it out to something else at that point. I liked the writing, characters and the world building. I think that worked pretty well. You could see they were lacking resources when it comes to animations and art since you pretty much had only few different enemies to fight against. Unless it was a design choice to not have your typical fantasy enemies there. Though I would have cut the "talking heads", those were kinda of eye sore. Overall I enjoyed myself, though for my 2nd playthrough I'm definately slapping on story mode. I can't be bothered to fight against all those trash mobs again to see how the story unfolds if I do things better/differently.

Please do tell examples.

The only recognizable victim so far has been the fandom. Of both Obsidian and Avellone himself. No one (especially me since you are pointing at me without actually saying my name) is blaming Avellone. I'm questioning his methods and saying what it looks like to me, someone who does not know the whole story behind all of it and how it makes me "feel".

Without actually telling anything and making sure he does not piss off anyone who might actually still want to hire him as a freelancer. What an upstanding and a generally great guy. Either he comes out with all of it, or he should just shut the **** up about it. He is throwing girly high school hissy wits over the Internet on different interviews. I don't think that makes him look good at all. And this comes from a person who has so far loved pretty much every game Avellone has worked on and thinks he is one of the best if not the best person to write companions. I'm not angry or anything that he disses Obsidian, I'm just sad that what was once a good relationship went really bad, and has turned Avellone into this.

Yes it is. But it's exactly why Avellone should just shut up about it or come clean completely. Hinting stuff here and there is just pointless and makes him look bad. Not to mention his "hatred" is borderline unhealthy. Maybe he should just let it go and go make awesome games.

Another interview of Avellone being sour grapes, at this point it's starting remind a feud between two once BFF's at high school. I find it sad/funny especially since he was part of the so called upper management. Apparently he couldn't sell his or his creative leads ideas to the other owners. In some ways he failed as well if he can't sell these brilliant ideas to the other owners.

Figstarter incoming after Wasteland 3 closes?

If he left, it must be really recent since his LinkedIn still points to Obsidian.

Just finished up Shadow of Mordor which got a lot repeative in the end, making me skip the DLC content completely. Had they released that content into the main game it would have worked better for me, but seperately after the full game? Uh, no thanks... I think I've killed enough orcs for some time. Now playing Overwatch again. Season 2 started and the game still has it's hook on me. Quick play got really boring between the seasons but the competive mode is pretty awesome... unless you run into complete idiots and attack Hanzos who just won't change from their favourite character. In such rounds you will only lose your mother*****ing nerves and it makes you hate the humankind
