Jorian Drake Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I start to become a bit desperate, so here is my question: If Bethesda kills Fallout 3, will you buy the title from them? Please? Pretty, pretty please? I even give to you some cash to help in it then!
Llyranor Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 As Obsidian CEO, I cannot confirm or deny this. This really isn't pathetic at all! (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Atreides Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Maybe getting permission to do something within the setting would be more reasonable. Hades: If you permit, I would trouble you for your opinion on Obsidian crafting a game within Fallout - an old IP. Your desire for Obsidian to create its own IP and revel in the freedom it gives has been expressed many times. Spreading beauty with my katana.

Sand Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 While I do hunger for a good Fallout I think that Obsidian should focus their next game, the one after Aliens, on their own IP. Now if it is a Post Apocalyptic CRPG that would be great. If Obsidian does take over of Fallout after Bethesda craptastic venture I won't be against it but after all this time it would be smarter for Obsidian to let Fallout rest in peace and focus on new material, which is what I prefered Bethesda to have done.

We know the members of Obsidian are interested in the franchise, but im also interested it its of value for them enough to buy it if they get a chance to do so
Sand Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Well, if I won the Powerball lottery (up to 75 million USD) I would buy the Fallout franchise in total from Bethesda and give it to Obsidian.

Dark_Raven Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Awww how cute. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
mkreku Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Really? I'd spend it on a new supermodel every day for the rest of my life. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Sand Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Supermodel? Ew. They are just skin and bones. Ghouls are more shapely than supermodels.

kirottu Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 If Bethesda kills Fallout 3, will you buy the title from them? Why buy Fallout 3 when they can buy me? This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
metadigital Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I think if you won the lottery you would spend it all trying to win the lottery. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Llyranor Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 I would also buy the Fallout franchise so as to drive it into the ground even more. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Pop Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) Nobody understands how winning the lottery works. If I win a million dollars in the lotto, they don't give me a million dollar check, besides the big novelty ones that you can't cash. They give me $4,166.66 every month for 20 years. But when people win a million dollars they are naturally inclined to live like millionaires, so they'll buy a few new houses or a collection of classic cars, and thus quickly dive into a situation where the $4,166.66 they get every month can't even begin to cover the interest on the debt they've accrued. So if that happens, usually what will happen to me is a company will approach me and offer to buy my $1,000,000 in increments for however much it will take to pay off the debt, or however much the company feels they can get away with, in a bulk sum. You can't win the lotto and buy a multi-million dollar game franchise. You couldn't even do it over 20 years if you're living on your winnings.

What if you signed over the rights to your winnings to someone else? They can think of it as an investment! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Pop Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Why would anyone pay me more than a million dollars for my million dollars stretched out over a long period of time? If you've got that much money to blow, you know of far smarter investments. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Jecrell Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) If there's one thing I like about Obsidian, it's that they do talk to us. Bethesda has already stated how they will only talk to magazines to deliver information. The forums get pretty violent when we have no one there explaining things to us. Even though Neverwinter Nights 2 wasn't a great game imho (better than the original though storywise), I enjoyed following its development a hell of a lot more than I've enjoyed following Fallout 3's -- I mean -- good god -- Oblivion 2: Electric Boogaloo.
