September 17, 201312 yr That sounds familiar... pop quiz time, which Obsidian guy started out as "the web guy" and made a career in the games industry? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

October 3, 201312 yr OEI is making an MMORPG? Man... don't those things always end up as failures? Does Obsidian really need another game that people will bash? My blog is where I'm keeping a record of all of my suggestions and bug mentions. http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/ UPDATED 9/26/2014 My DXdiag: http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/2014/08/beta-begins-v257.html
October 3, 201312 yr OEI is making an MMORPG? Man... don't those things always end up as failures? Does Obsidian really need another game that people will bash? They are doing contract work on one, not making one. Hate the living, love the dead.
October 3, 201312 yr Ah I see that I need the slowpoke meme here. This is old news isn't it? Skyforge apparently... carry on. My blog is where I'm keeping a record of all of my suggestions and bug mentions. http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/ UPDATED 9/26/2014 My DXdiag: http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/2014/08/beta-begins-v257.html
October 3, 201312 yr Would be great if the next Fallout game was contracted out to Obsidian. Because Fallout 3 was trash compared to NV, especially the writing. That frees Bethesda to work on a new IP or something.
October 4, 201312 yr bethesda should just give fallout "back" to OEI. That would be best. But we live in a world ruled by money and shareholders. So that won't do.

October 5, 201312 yr Obsidian hardly has the resources to make a Bethesda-esque game. Bethesda should make Fallout 4 (read: the engine and the tools) and then contract Obsidian to make an Add-On (example: New Vegas). Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
October 5, 201312 yr Obsidian hardly has the resources to make a Bethesda-esque game. Bethesda should make Fallout 4 (read: the engine and the tools) and then contract Obsidian to make an Add-On (example: New Vegas). Bethesda reuses them themselves everytime with (sometimes smaller, sometimes larger) adjustments so I don't really see your point. Edited October 5, 201312 yr by C2B
October 8, 201312 yr I for one don't want Bethesda's bug-ridden foundations anywhere near me and mine. I'm currently stuck unable to complete Skyrim's DLC _OR_ Fallout 3's DLC because of bugs. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
October 8, 201312 yr Why do you lie. Fallout 3 was totally bugfree! Oh wait. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
October 8, 201312 yr Obsidian hardly has the resources to make a Bethesda-esque game. Bethesda should make Fallout 4 (read: the engine and the tools) and then contract Obsidian to make an Add-On (example: New Vegas). New Vegas an Add-On? What kind of weed are you vaping? That's like saying Fallout 2, IWD 1/2, KOTOR 2 were all add-ons.
October 8, 201312 yr Fallout just belongs to Obsidian. Bethesda can keep TES and make glorious Oblivion 2 or something. Rain makes everything better.
October 8, 201312 yr Fallout just belongs to Obsidian. Bethesda can keep TES and make glorious Oblivion 2 or something. Pity it will never happen. In fact Obsidian would made a better TES game than Bethesda as well. Bethesda should stick to publising and not making games. They are terrible at it.
October 9, 201312 yr I would really kill to play Elder Scrolls: Akavir from Obsidian.An Asian-themed (not just China, could be India, South East Asia, etc) fantasy games from a developer that actually do research. Edited October 9, 201312 yr by exodiark
October 9, 201312 yr Fallout just belongs to Obsidian. Bethesda can keep TES and make glorious Oblivion 2 or something. Magnanimous Brian Fargo should buy the IP from Bethseda and gift it to his good friends at Obsidian. Or maybe start a Kickstarter to scrounge together the money for the IP.
