(4) What do the words mean?

Dungeon Siege 3 was also referred as project x. I never played the game but I dont think people here are happy about the idea of a new DS game .

 

I wouldn't say unhappiness. More a lack of enthusiasm. DS3 was great from a technical perspective in that it lacked the usual bugginess that most Obsidian games seem to suffer from to some degree, but it wasn't anything special beyond that.

would a elder scrolls game be too big a shock? Bethesda gave obsidian the rights to make Fallout New Vegas, and the game sold well. i doubt they would get to make elder scrolls 6, but maybe they would get to remake daggerfall, or something similar.

No idea what it is, but uh, it's a project! Wooooh!

 

Can't wait for the Obsidian forums cycle to kick in in full force, it's half of the fun of following the development of a game from them!

It is Fallout 4. Lexx is right.

Ouroboros means "Tail devouring snake" in Greek, and is usually depicted by a snake or dragon eating its own tail.

"The Dirge of E

[Metabot]

An add-on to Fallout 4, ala FNV?

 

New Vegas was not an "add-on" for Fallout 3.

[Prosper]

Assasin's Creed 4 or Chrono Trigger remake.

Nothing. The Dirge of E

Almost 100% chance this is completely irrelevant, but here it is anyway.

'The Dirge of E

[Breaded]

Fallout 4 makes absolutely no sense given the text on the splash page.

 

It seems something out of high fantasy.

Nothing. The Dirge of E

[Prosper]

The words mean nothing. So yes it could be Fallout 4. Only the number is not a word.

Yeah, it should be pretty obvious it's as GameBanshee that we three got an early peek. Not super-duper much though, and don't expect like a ton of super-exclusive content, just one step ahead of others, and for good reason as Buck helped inspire this project.

By some accounts the canceled Defiance project Sawyer headed up was vital to Obsidian's solvency. If that is the case, they'd be looking for a new gig on short notice. DS3 was made quickly and competently with relatively little publisher investment, and turned a tidy profit because of it. Seems likely that Squeenix was happy enough with how it turned out to take our guys on again for DS4.

 

I'm not really thrilled with the mythology / world of DS (or Wheel of Time, for that matter) but I'll buy it, and Obsidian will continue to kick with (hopefully) another technically sound release and a healthy, happy dev-publisher relationship.

I doubt be a Fallout game because Beth didnt announce it first; although would be great if Obsidian worked in FO4. I just hope be a great RPG . Obsidian is well known for their passion developing RPGs but i also hope they dont repeat some things that made some of their last games a lil frustrating like checkpoints in AP, couch coop in DS3 (I loved the game but tryin to play local coop was very frustrating and Online was like watching the movie Stuck on you). Im glad you are working in a new game and like always i expect the best of you because i know you can deliver. Good Luck !

You're mixing things here. "Defiance" was the project which got them in talks with Square Enix resulting in Dungeon Siege IV.

[Cyn!c]

To me this sounds D&D related, but that could be just wishful thinking. Meanwhile there is this to ponder...

It's a gamble, but I sort of hope it might be one of those small steps towards self-publishing, if they could find investment fund for smaller games and reap the entirety of the profits themselves to finance more ambitious projects (provided the smaller games don't tank badly of course),

A musical RPG set in a Texas high school, that's my best guess.

[Nomad Saint]

This isn't Dungeon Siege 4, Fallout 4 or an Elder Scrolls game. Much to my misfortune, it isn't a new iteration of Alpha Protocol either, I ****ing loved that game. All in all, I wish Obsidian the best on their baby steps to self publishing.

[Morgoth]

I'm very exited for this, unless a) it's Dungeon Siege 4 or b) console exclusive. This would make me rage at least for a whole 2 minutes.

[kirottu]

I'm also going with Wheel of Time game and the "4" is just a timer.

Though, if it is running on Onyx, then it is doubtful that it would be console exclusive. I mean, it could be, but I just don't believe that it would be.
