Obsidian to co-develop MMORPG Skyforge with Allods team
The best steel for at least a half-mile around. Well I hope partnering with Russians is a mutually beneficial experience.

Pathing and how to minimize me pulling out my hair from my already balding scalp
^^ Quiet resentment: seriously, medi-gel does nothing for follicle genophage. This one knows it to be certain. I have no doubt there will be zero pathing problems in P:E. The game is being developed by people who encounter real-life, unavoidable pathing problems around the I5 and 405 corridors.

Racism, sexism & bigotry
Personally, I really like dark settings when they're executed well. A well-executed dark fantasy setting can create a great mixture of horror and dread. A poorly-executed dark setting just tries to go as over the top as possible purely for the sake of one-upping other works. I'm not asking for Columbia or Golarion here. I can't tell if you're endorsing Columbia, or not. I haven't yet finished Infinite because the setting seemed to beat my brow with its themes and names and images that come from real life. That player who got a refund because he objected to an unavoidable, unannounced in-game religious incident is an example, albeit extreme. Perhaps the "ending" will change my attitude, but I guess racism and bigotry, etc., are better dealt with when part of a less recognizable setting. I mean, I was totally emotionally involved in the plight of nearly every individual and race on the Citadel that my paragon FemShep character encountered ... but it was fun because I had a choice, in a world far removed from this one. So if P:E does something similar, I think it could be a productive force for tension in the game world. Something that makes me want to resolve it, not avoid it like in Columbia.

Where is everyone from
Aww damn, and all this time I've been putting Swiss cheese on Swedish meatballs. I am from San Diego, CA, U.S., although I worked today in Irvine, CA near the Spectrum ... not too far away from Obsidian, I think. It's awesome to know I live only a few tens of miles from where my favorite upcoming game is being made. Woot!

Update #48: Documentary News and More Arcanum
Wait.. What?? What did I miss!? Guide me, oh enlightened backer!! some (i'd like to think only a minority) people behaving incredibly immature on the final video-stream during the kickstarter against a female obsidian employee wearing a green shirt at that time I don't remember an incredible amount of immaturity--maybe in the alternate stream comments. I just remember it was fun watching the final countdown stream and the instant celebrity of an attractive female dev. As I recall, Adam even mentioned it to the room.

thank you!
I love it, it's like being part of something really great from the very beginning. Thanks for making PE a reality in progress.
