Who else wants to hear about Dungeon Siege III co-op by a half naked lady on a video magazine called PIMP Daily Dose?

http://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/1017...-siege-iii.html Good info there. All pretty good except a few things i noticed. 3. No item requirements of any kind. (other than character). May be a good thing, not sure. Where did you get that from? Didn't notice it.

Rich Taylor QA is up (also has a little info on BIs BG3 http://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/1017...-siege-iii.html

That was well made. Nice^^. Buck is also in it.

That was already posted a while ago. But thanks anyway.^^

MOST games can be played by Children. I hate to burst your bubble but Action Game #343234 isn't so complex that they can't play it. (And you can't honestly tell me that you didn't play these sort of games as a kid) Nearly EVERY Game isn't as complex if we don't talk about educational games. This does not mean it was designed only for children in mind. It's a purly aesthetical choice anyway.

If your definition of a kids/adult game is how much blood and gore is in a game you may miss the point. Its a design choice and Nathaniel explained well enough why they did it.

Video Interview with Feargus

Radiant Historia just arrived on import. It's very good so far.

new article regarding it from Destructoid http://www.destructoid.com/obsidian-explai...ns-195120.phtml

Yeah, then something went wrong on my side.

So, we are back to "not knowing anything"?

Yep. Now. Not when I jumped into that damn article.

damnit

How Obsidian became Obsidian

"Whole big new world" doesn't really make sense for a action rpg XBLA title.

Not sure I like those ideas. Ultima has run it's course and Storm of Zehir did not make for an promising demonstration of what Icewind Dale 3 could look like. That was more the fault of the NWN2 engine than the game though. Edit: Also about AP. AP's fault was that it was too hybrid traditional with its combat actually. It was basically the same thing that was used in Bloodlines/Deus Ex. Combine that with poor balancing and you got what you got. I didn't found much fault regarding the ambiouts things in the game actually. The choice system worked well. Technically (Stability) I was actually impressed. It wasn't much worse than other UE3 titles. And given that its Obs and an RPG (Squares xbox version of Last Remnant was much worse) even more.

Hard to say if that's the "Sauron won" fantasy setting, but it could certainly be. They also seem to think that the "Can't pass up" IP is the Wheel of Time game we already knew about. Ferg's been talking to Atari about IWD3 but seems to indicate it's not in the cards. He also wants to make an Ultima game. Man, reading the Joystiq preview and now this. Do they have something against Obsidian? It seems awfully negative written. @Tale: That was the "Defiance" Project that they pitched to Square Enix.

I just reread the cheatcc preview. Thats a very interesting part

You've described about any WRPG that came out in the last.. what.. 15 years? Yes. I think we just figured it out. This game is an RPG. Just like all those ones we have been playing for years. You can compare them all. They are all share this thing we like to call a "genre". Yet Fable doesn't focus on its combat. DS3 does. There are literary hunderds of action-rpgs/hack n' slashs that are closer and related to DS3. And I still don't get the connection. How did it reinforce your argument?

From what it seems to me is this: Obsidian is not Gas Powered Games. Don't expect anything to be how it was. Obsidian has released several games from which only one wasn't moddable. It is not unresonable to assume that this will be moddable too. Since its their own engine now. I'm pretty sure there will still be something coming. Also please people stop with Fable comparisons. Why would we not compare it to previous games of the same genre? Is it unreasonable to bring up flaws in games that we don't want in this game, just as it is important to bring up the things in other games we do like? Using comparisons gives your argument more credibility. If I say I don't like something, and then give a reason why. Then my argument is more credible. Except Fable isn't a hack n' slash nor anything else like DS3. To make the comparison even credible there has to be a connection. If you brought up similiar games like Gauntlet or Dark Alliance. Ok. But where is the connection between Fable and DS3? And specifically. Where is the connection between these two and your argument.

I can't unsee now.
