Except none of the developers here ever said anything like that? Also thats not how development works "More, MORE, MORE in EVERYTHING" is just not workable. In no buisness or company in or outside the gaming industry. Edit: There was the Destructoid article but that was more of a misinterpretation on our part.

you can't blame us on the arguments though...with the lack of information and all. Nope, I'm not. If you haven't informed yourself its quite clear that you wouldn't have known that. We knew next to nothing about the MP and how much importance it had till February too. Though, from then on it became pretty clear. There wasn't any info that its going to be co-op heavy either. There was a hint that its going to be more "casual"/buddy co-op since the first interview however.

Well then thats understandable. I'd also think that there are more suited games for you and your friends around. This is probably worthless but did you guys try Magicka already?

Heres though. Making a "fully functional robust multplayer game" was never the plan with DSIII but a single player ARPG you can enjoy with friends. Thats where also all the work went into. I think this is the reason for all of the arguments about here. Different expectations.

Coz producers (project managers) probably have more say in storytelling? Having dedicated writers is mostly an RPG phenomenon, anyway, if you look at other genres most of the writing is done by people in the project management sector (I think the Force Unleasheds were a pretty good example of this). Besides, since they are talking about cinematics, cutscenes etc., it's more like asking the "movie director's" opinion over the "screenwriter's". Well true. That doesn't really apply in some of these cases though?

Edit: Nevermind. Should cool down a little. Post was too flamey.

I wonder why in both cases they asked a producer? rather than the writers responsible? Its in general a very weird list of people asked. I could name tons of industry writers/designers I'd like to hear from first than some of the names on the list.

Apparently, there will be more Dungeons later (From a review I read). I don't know if there are optional ones though, hopefully they will have. However we have already heard about villages with sidequest so I wouldn't worry too much about that front.

I don't really take GAF all that seriously besides a couple of users (because it's essentially a GameFaqs with a bizarrely big ego), but I must say that it's not looking promising for Obsidian Thats way too early to say. Its not like we aren't used to controversial games here. At the moment 90% of the loud people are writing the game off regardless of content because of one feature they see as essential. You can't really take a guess yet how this will matter in review scores or sales. For all the bitchin' about Fable 2. It still sold better than the first (3.5M copies) and was well received.

No, just something that I hope the developers end up reading. I then hope the realise why there has been a lot of negative feedback and incorporate some, if not all of these features in the next Dungeon Siege game (if they continue with it). Then some sort of suggestion thread would be better suited. VS threads end nearly always in pointless flamewars and have a lower chance of beeing looked at by the dev or taken seriously at all.

Are... Are you trying to prove some sort of point here we have to agree on? Also VS threads are always terrible.

Yeah, thats now actually pretty bad. I hope they can patch this out and is not a technical limitation of Onyx. Because it seems to be finally a workable/stable engine for Obsidian.

Some people cannot make the difference, for them coop and online are the same thing. And given the OP's incredibly bad opening, I'm not inclined to trust his ability to differentiate them. Its probably true though judging from responses. I can live with it but this is really a blow. I would have wished to use the normal camera in online co-op too.

I quoted Twitter so far and a gamebanshee response because the gamebanshee one is actually more interesting to the "longer" members here. Didn't make a big fuss to search for everything. Though I have read more positive than negative responses so far. You're free to post impressions you find. Then again, I probably frequent other places than you do.

Sorry whats MOTB? Mask of the Betrayer NWN2 Add-On

That was local, wasn't it? Well we'll see. The same screen cam isn't received that good. Would have to experience it myself.

Same screen camera on online? Thats actually pretty annoying if true.

Apparently a Beta of DX:HR was leaked. And its real according to comments. (Or it could be fake again XD)

Some Twitter impressions (First two are from the same guy)
