February 15, 200520 yr Tea Boy... or maybe office cleaner. If not that then I would be a writer. Trust me if I wrote the storylines they would not be predictable!
February 16, 200520 yr Any job they gave me to be frank! Art and Graphic design is a hard nut to crack, seriously, i have a degree and a whole heap of experience and I can't break through, so I'm stuck designing websites and making games with the help of "Editors". I'd love to be a games designer, but unfortunately want doesn't get the pay in... Ah well:) Og
March 13, 200520 yr I love to make cool environments characters and mobs.Designing weapons and armour is cool too so I guess an Artist position would be great.but since i live on the other side of the world well it's kind of difficult i guess.. http://yiannisk.myphotoalbum.com

March 24, 200520 yr My advice - don't ever choose to do a job like mine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Question: How do testing roles work in obsidian. I mean do you have dedicated testers/Bring Testers in/Staff do the testing?
March 24, 200520 yr We were not able to budget for our own testers on KotOR2, all of the testing was handled internally and externally by LucasArts. On Neverwinter Nights 2, we have included money in the budget for testing, so we will be hiring our own small testing staff. It won't be gigantic group, but we hope that it will help.

March 25, 200520 yr Personally, if I could istantly learn the required skills, I would like to cover the position of Dialogue Writer/level designer(yeah, I know it's not on the initial list). But, more realistically (so to speak ), I would love to be the "Community Relations" guy 'cause I've been dwelling on online gaming forums(mostly as a lurker, tho) for almost ten years...Yeah, I want to be abused "The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance" - Wing Commander IV
March 25, 200520 yr If it makes the surviving ones stronger, maybe we could be onto something. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, if I ever become a game tester, I think I will remember NOT to apply for a job at Obsidian. Though then again, it could have some nice perks if my coworkers annoyed me.
March 25, 200520 yr If it makes the surviving ones stronger, maybe we could be onto something. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sure that will make the beta testers sleep a lot easier now.
