WorstUsernameEver

We all know what skill trees have done to Oner. He still bears the scars.

It sounded pretty nice and tasty. Of course, I need to see it in game, not to mention that I need to know how the character development works, if all the areas will have that level of detail, etc., but all the info so far has been promising.

I'm checking them out. It seems to me that they've changed the eye textures compared to the model they've shown in the first trailer but the rest seems the same. Not really going to complain though, I don't care about how Geralt looks that much.

The screenshots look great and moody, but I'd like to hear a bit more about gameplay and character development. Also, IIRC CD Projekt promised a 'new Geralt' for Gamescom, but in the screenies his face is not seen. So.. uhm?

For anyone who doesn't understand german, Lexx from No Mutants Allowed points out some interesting stuff :iamgamer.de talked with Sawyer on the GamesCom. While most of the stuff in the interview is already known, there are some interesting little infoparts to get: Sawyer says, you hear in New Vegas about Redding, Gecko and Klamath. Also Crimson Caravan are named once again and the army of the master. In a later question, Sawyer talks about how he is working for Caesar's Legion in the moment or at least the legion thinks that he is working for them. Instead, he just wants to earn reputation points with them. Another example: He was liked by the NCR, then one of his companions asked him to cause damage to some group that is related close to the NCR. He has done it and then the NCR rangers wanted to get him down. When the NCR rangers got him, he got the choice to either "make good" again with the NCR or to get beaten up like never before. He also said that it's hard to reach the level cap 30. Right now, he played approx 60 hours, made 30 quests and is level 23. He still has a lot quests possible to do, to level up though. /Edit: And he talked about difficult setting in various areas. He explains, that they have areas with fixed difficult and areas, where it is a bit variable. There are areas, where you get beaten up very fast, even if you are level 20 and have good gear. As example for the difficult rate, he names the Sierra Army Depot from Fallout 2: If you go there right in the beginning of the game, you have no chance. If you level up a bit first, you will have at least a little chance and if you are level 20, you simply roll over it. Some areas in New Vegas will feel like that.

You forgot to log on funcroc, Alvin. I laughed out loud! Bad Flouride, bad! EDIT : I'm pretty sure funcroc or Starwars already posted this interview during E3 though.

All this talk about

Confirmation that funcroc works at Obsidian Entertainment.

How much compared to New Vegas?

I still can't really wrap my mind around the Fable comparison even after Sannom gently explained it in detail (thanks, anyway).

You can switch between the two modes though IIRC the top-down view is the only camera mode you can use with co-op.

Any chance we're getting screens with the UI any time soon?

From what I can understand (stopped learning french around 8th grade) they seem to be very impressed, and they praise the accessibility. EDIT : Also, for some reason, they compare it to Fable O_o'.

GameSpot interview.

Risen 2 announced.

Personally I think the lighting looks exceptional. Also, confront this with the other Obsidian games. It will be quite clear why there is to rejoice.

Jagged Alliance Online announced. Uhm.

For some reason I was sure I posted that in the right topic. Sorry.

Jagged Alliance Online announced. Uhm.

Personally I mourned the lack of tactical choices in The Witcher for the most part. Still, it wasn't as bad as some imply. The fact that they're revamping it for the sequel is a good thing. Dragon Age on the other hand.. its combat had balance issues and encounter design issues. We have no news about Bioware fixing them as of now.

That little teaser couldn't have been as big as that, could it??? ..maybe if it was 1080p. EDIT : Finally got the video, it's just the first teaser, sorry. Last month they said it was being shown behind closed doors but I read in another thread that it was supposed to be shown public. No videos on Youtube so I guess it's behind closed doors afterall. It was the teaser.

The concept art shows a snowy area. Hopefully we'll see that in the game.

I forgot to say : If there was one aspect that the previous Dungeon Siege titles were proud of, it was their overall polish. As Nathan explained,

Over-the-shoulder camera makes it into a Gothic rip-off, light/heavy attack stance makes it a Witcher rip-off. And yes, these are complaints someone actually made. This is no day for complaints Oner, REJOICE!

Also : positive comments. ... no seriously. The comments under the screenshots are all positive. Granted, they're only 3, and probably someone will comment that Obsidian will ruin Dungeon Siege but still... it's like I'm living in a Bizzarro universe.
