TwinkieGorilla Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Stop whining, start researching. errr...yeah. that seems more like nerd-stalking. no thanks. i mean, if i don't see news of FO:NV at NMA, here or the usual places...then i assume no real news is being dished out. anything beyond real news just seems, i dunno...creepy.

Slowtrain Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yep, we sure do have stuff we could show. Not sure there's any compelling reason to show/talk about it now rather than later. Any advantage gained by discussing it now is pretty much trumped by advantages gained by showing/talking later. * More polished. * More distinctive. * More of it. * More cohesive. * Will generate better momentum. If it's good now, it will be better later. If it's bad now, there's not much point to showing it/talking about it. It's loads of fun to talk about everything you tried/screwed up in the first half of a project when it's in a post-mortem. Not so much when you're actually in the midst of it. But see I could asK: Are you or are you not looking at making changes to VATS combat. By simply answering with a yes or no, but yet providing no other info, it would help me (and others)get an better understanding of what the possibilities are with the game. Or by answering: Has Bethesda given you the latitutde to change VATS if you see fit? This would also be helpful to know. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

TwinkieGorilla Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 that tweet might actually mean something to me if i knew what things Sawyer thinks is funny (though i can take an educated guess it's a bit higher on the evolutionary humor-scale than a few other people i won't name) but yeah Fenstermaker seems like good news, though to be honest i was not impressed with any of the NWN2 dialogue. hopw roewur ne?

Cantousent Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Eric Fenstermaker, if I'm not mistaken, was in charge of the spirit eater function in MotB. That was an extremely difficult task, I can assure you. I was myself quite a nuisance regarding the spirit eater aspect, and I was certainly not the most strenuous or strident voice on the issue. However, Fenstermaker did an excellent job. I'm wracking my brains, but I can't exactly recall what else he did. I know he had his share of work on MotB, and I think that's quite a feather in anyone's hat. I never really much knew him personally, but I did respect his work and the fact that he was fairly cheerful when discussing the spirit eater function, which was a contentious issue the entire time I was in QA.
