[Merged] George Ziets as as the 2.8 million stretch goal

[C2B]

He seems willing

Give us any number Obsidian. ANY.

 

 

(For those not in the know. George is the Lead writer of Mask of the Betrayer. Considered to be Obsidian's best written game. Sadly he left after a project got cancelled this year)

I met George once (doubt he would remember me), seemed like a smart guy. Would be a welcome addition afaik.

[Tale]

He was lead on the fabulous Mask of the Betrayer expansion. That's enough for me to put him on my favorite designer lists.

[Starwars]

That would be awesome.

 

Also, a bit morbid still to have people up as stretch goals somehow... Morbid... but AWESOME!

[Labadal]

I'd love it if they let him work on the project. We already know he's talented, so it couldn't hurt.

[Flouride]

Get Ziets involved or the bunny gets it.

[Freddo]

This would be cool

[Bos_hybrid]

Yes. Make it so Obs.

[Troller]

Mask of the Betrayer made NWN 2 into an awesome game

[fixedpoint]

The only stretch goals I could come up with when it became apparent that success is inevitable, were:

* OS X and Linux ports;

* bring George Ziets back to Obsidian.

 

So, yes, please. Fargo already made MCA a stretch goal for WL2, so it's not unheard of. Totally need more excellent writers because so many good ideas require disproportionate amount of writing.

[Pop]

So on board with this you don't even know

[generic.hybridity]

Not a bad idea.

[Dermi]

I might even consider upping my pledge for that (and live to the next payday on plasters from the wall ).

[ShadowScythe]

I asked the first question (If Obsidian gets enough funding will you finally return to the team?) so of course I'm on board with this.

 

MotB is one of my favourite RPGs ever and George Ziets' lore especially the archon mythology (which seemed to have Hindhuism influences, am I right DS3 devs?) in Dungeon Siege 3 was one of the more interesting elements of that game for me.

 

George Ziets, Tim Cain, Josh Sawyer and Chris Avellone would be an amazing cRPG dream team.

The lead writer of my favourite RPG ever? Bring him in!

[WorstUsernameEver]

I'm up for it. Make it happen Obsidian.

[Nonek]

I am not a stretch goal, I am a free man!

 

But seriously, sounds like a worthy notion.

[MechanicalLemon]

I'm down with this. MotB was absolutely brilliant. While I was never really interested in the DS universe, I have to credit George for his work on DS3. I actually found myself invested in DS3's world and eager to read up on the lore.

 

Bring him in, Obsidian!

[Leferd]

George is cool.

[Hoverdog]

George for the President!

[lobotomy42]

I would immediately double my pledge for Ziets!

[the proctophantasmist]

An other avid fan of George's work here.

 

How about Leonard Boyarsky? Still at Blizzard? I thought what he did on VtM:B was great.

Yup.

 

Should have done a poll. Realizing just now. -.-

[Lynchbread]

Obsidian, hire this guy.

[Auxilius]

Well, what can I add? For Mr. Ziets to participate in the writing of this game would basically nail it as the better RPG ever written.

I hope George is reading this and feel warm and fuzzy inside.
