Are we gonna be able to change facial structure. eye color and such?

The facial animation looks really bad. Very little change of expression from all the videos I've seen. Also MTs VA isnt doing it for me so far.

Well that and the whole stealing and purified water thing that totally broke it. It should only be in games where it makes sense thematically, like the first KotOR.

I hope the localization is good. Wonky translations hurt the atmosphere of the first two Gothics, even though they were good games (I'm playing through 2 right now).

God I hope the Karma/morality system is gone. Its implementation in most games is insipid and simplistic. I'd prefer if Obsidian focused on a tighter narrative and smaller area, especially given the dev time. I'm tired of seeing games half finished because they have ideas bigger than they could realistically develop.

So I'm guessing this is on hold until the Fallout game finishes?

What is NX3? Is it wrong to want a World of Darkness game or a horror RPG?

I dunno. RPGs from Japan tend to be much more polished since they cant depend on modders and until this gen they couldnt release patches. I think the whole unpolished thing is a symptom of PC gaming, for better or worse.

I liked Fallout 3 and am not sure that Obsidian will make a better game. As for the turn around, it's what I expected. It's not enough that Bethesda provide a good game that many people here liked (though I've noticed that we've gone back to pretending that FO3 was enjoyed by 'the masses' and Obsidian posters are not 'the masses'). Bethesda only wins if they start making games in the model that some players prefer above all else and consider 'true rpgs.' They'd move to my good book if they would learn how to write and animate things. And if they spent the money they used on short lived celebrity VA on veteran VAs that know how their craft instead.

So is this going to be the only discussion area for the game on the site, or is a proper forum in the works?
