I don't see any reason why studios keeping making deals with WotC. They are clearly untrustworthy partners. As recently as last month both Hidden Path and OtherSide released statements that WotC was very happy with their work on their D&D games. So these cancellations are obviously a money thing, in that Hasbro decided they would not make enough money for them. Hasbro stock is down 40%, and they're pulling back their investments to try and prop up their stock. An they're doing it by sticking the knife in the backs of their D&D video game contractors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, you are correct, they are slow, but this might be maybe due to their fear what would happen with OGL. And looks like, they might have been correct, as Hasbro decided to revamp it, due to their opinion that D&D is undermonetized 2 Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

Keyrock Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 This is why it was so smart for Obsidian to establish a couple of their own IPs, namely Pillars and Outer Worlds. Now they're not beholden to any IP owner. People talk about wouldn't it be cool if Obs did another D&D game or another Fallot game? Sure, but I'd rather they just focus on their own IPs for the exact reason of avoiding situations just like this. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanisatha Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Here's the most recent huge leak on the new OGL 1.1 document: https://gizmodo.com/dnd-wizards-of-the-coast-ogl-1-1-open-gaming-license-1849950634 https://knowyourmeme.com/news/dungeons-and-dragons-fans-furious-following-lengthy-leaks-of-ogl-11 It has caused a huge firestorm in gaming and D&D circles. And if you read through this article very carefully you'll see the new OGL is so very nakedly obviously targeting D&D competitors, and especially Paizo/Pathfinder, to try and shut them down. I fear this will end any possible future Pathfinder games, as well as any new content for Solasta. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Aren't they, Obsidian, fully owned by Microsoft? Not actually trying to be pedantic, more of a side effect of my curiosity.

LadyCrimson Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I have only just now learned of Hogwart's Legacy. I am not a Potter fan (did see all the movies, eventually, they were ok, only tried to read one of the books, not for me) so don't care about that aspect. But --I like that it's single-player only --I still enjoy the occasional open world and virtual tourism, if it's done well --I like that it's all wand and spells combat (no melee/swords etc) --Ever since Drakan: Order of the Flame and WoW, I like flying mounts, and the ones in this game look fantastic. --Taming pets/mounts in a personal yard or something? --I think eventually school friends can join as party members so not 100% a solo chr. game? --No micro transactions ... except that the extra stuff in the Deluxe version supposedly will be sold separately as a DLC? Not clear. Anyway...if it's too much like Skyrim type open world game, I would likely find it dull. But maybe it'll be a new openworld, virtual tourism, action-rpg that I could sink time into...or it'll be another hype-before-release that ends up as suck. hmm.

Hurlshort Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I read all the books, watched the movies, bought wands for the entire family, and even enjoyed a Red Ale at the Hoghead Tavern on my recent trip to Universal Studios. So I'll definitely be playing Hogwarts Legacy. It does look like it has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I am theoretically a prime target - I used to be a Potter fan when I was younger. I must say, some of it looks very appealing. But so far, outside eyecandy, gameplay looks very dull and I am just wary of Warner Bros as publisher. I will wait till release and reviews drop before I even consider it.

I played quite a bit and enjoyed the additions to the nemesis system. It didn't feel grindy at all, but I also didn't finish it. I got a solid 30 hours of sneaking around and listening it sassy orcs. I felt it was better than the original. I didn't notice anything about lootboxes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Re: Hogwarts Legacy I noticed under Additional Notes on the Steam requirements for this game, it says: ---(Min) 1080p/60 fps, Low Quality Settings, *Upscale -Performance- Setting* --(Rec) 1080p/60 fps, High Quality Settings, *Upscale -Quality- Setting* So, are they saying these requirements are taking into consideration that you must be running non-native upscaling for them? That seems disingenuous. I guess I can understand for Minimum, since that would be part of the ... minimum. But Recommended should always be for native resolution, imo. >.> “Things are as they are.
