Volourn Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) Now all you Obsidian fanboys can attack him for sucha 'betrayal'. Found at NWN2 Boards linked from NWN Vault: http://nwvault.ign.com/ (scroll down to see it) "Ferret Baudoin, former Lead Designer for NWN2, and his wife Alice, were kind enough to send word that they are moving to Edmonton, Canada, where Ferret will take up a Senior Designer position at BioWare. Unfortunately he couldn't speak as to the circumstances behind the switch in companies nor what project he'll be working on, however it's good to hear that he will still be in the gaming community I cover." At least he's in Edmonton; not Texas so it means he's likely working on one of their RPGs not their MMORPG. Congrats Ferret! It's too bad in a way 'cause he was cool at Obsidian so hopefully he'll remain cool at Bioware!!! Edited April 24, 2006 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Llyranor Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Well, better that than console mech games. Congrats. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Tigranes Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Probably the best outcome the fans could have hoped for once he had left. Congratulations to Ferret.

Volourn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Maybe. I didn't play it so I don't keep mind of it. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Ellester Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Congrats Ferret! It's too bad in a way 'cause he was cool at Obsidian so hopefully he'll remain cool at Bioware!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is Volourn implying something bad about Bioware? That would be a first for Volourn. And yes a 75% on the OC is a good score not a bash. lol Good job Ferrett! I just hope you don't get stuck on the mmo and have to work on the same game for 8 years. Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson

I think I scared those types away from this thread.. at least so far.. it's been too positive... so far. P.S.S. Haha! I type that and somebody had to be funny! :D Edited April 24, 2006 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Volourn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 No. Not relevant to us. But, we're not that important anyways. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Neither is Bioware but their hubris and fanbois tell them otherwise.
Gromnir Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 weasel boy sure didn't move to edmonton for the weather. how longs you gotta live in kanada for you can takes advantage of their second rate socialized medicine? maybe weasel gots a chronic medical problem that is expensive to treat... or he gots lupus and all that sunshine in la is bad for him. what the heck, good for weasel. hope he does good things with bioware.

Volourn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Not to mention you continuing to buy their games. Heck, you bought an x-box just to play JE. And, don't try to make an exuse of 'I bought other games too'. We both know you bought the x-box for one reason - to play JE. The other games are bought by you because they are there.

Judge Hades Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 If I was going to bash the game I might as well play it.
Volourn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 And, then you ended up enjoying it. Go figure. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Well, the game does have a few issues but then what game doesn't.
Volourn Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Yup. Like I wish they used their beautiful world map more!!! Hopefully in JE2!!! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Here's hoping Ferret can teach Gaider a thing or two. I like Gaider, but Woo can sure hold a grudge.
Gromnir Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 am not sure why woo ever took vis serious 'nuff to hold a grudge. and Gromnir also likes gaider, but the biowarians has collectively gotten a little less recptive to criticism. *shrug* HA!

Judge Hades Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) I am surprise anyone takes me seriously when I don't take myself seriously.. Edited April 24, 2006 by Judge Hades
Llyranor Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I take you seriously! You're my American idol! (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
