Marceror Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 He seems to post here like it's his second home.

Serdan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It would be helpful to know his alias. I'm guessing rope kid (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilhdr Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It looks like he wished a lot to have new schetch goals. Wished to know why they give up this ideia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chaox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It looks like he wished a lot to have new schetch goals. Wished to know why they give up this ideia. Yes, it looks like Torment isn't giving up on the idea. Hopefully, Obsidian puts those ideas into the expansion, and they get a good release for the main game to fund.

GreyFox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 After reading that SA thread I must say I hope there is an option to turn OFF the screen shake on crit....yea it's cool for people who want that but I don't want that headache/dizziness to occur on my screen! Toggle switch for that feature please! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManifestedISO Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Stepping out more, eh, what, is home too boring, no longer sexy, is it not enough we keep it clean, ask What You Did Today, bake a few threaded casseroles, laugh at Funny Things, take your shoes off and put you to bed after What You've Been Drinking--finding love somewhere else--what is it, is it all these posts, do they make us look fat. Come back, Josh, we'll change, promise, somehow, into whoever you want us to be. Don't go. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marceror Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 I guess he'd rather have a "quiet" place to discuss his ideas rather than deal with the raging hordes all the time. So that's why he's using a site that you have to pay to post on. Honestly, I get it. If I were JES, I don't think I'd particularly enjoy posting my ideas here, since I doubt I'd have time to wade through 10+ pages of comments, which can happen in a day on a particularly busy day.

Sawyer is a goon since 2001. He's posted there for years and multiple projects. Its more that Sawyer posts a bit less these days over here than he did before (especially as compared to NWN2 AFAIK). I remember him not posting much during Fallout: NV over here either. Though, in that case the offical forums were over at Bethesda of course. I do think he tells the truth when he talks about not being able to get on his dev account during his free time at home and that being a reason. But on the other hand he never bothered too much to get it really fixed. Which is a valid complaint. Edited September 20, 2014 by C2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the reasoning that his browser will not point to forums.obsidian.net or that he is not able to use the login feature when he gets here? 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychnidos Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think it was something like he can only log in with his dev account from Obsidian's offices, this is not an unreasonable security measure for a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. It's a public web forum. Just log in with your public web forum account. It's not like he needs to authenticate to Active Directory using a RAS or VPN tunnel... to post on a public web forum, that all the rest of us are posting on without those things.

salo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 It's probably nice to disconnect from this whole thing when he gets home, and mind his family etc. Of course, he could just have said that then, it's a valid excuse in my book.

Monte Carlo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) ^ This. Sawyer started his career as a web-monkey / community manager. He's sick to the back teeth of 'us.' On the one hand, I totally see that. On the other, tough. It boils my piss that there's more top-end dope on this project on a paywall protected third-party forum. Sorry, that's just the way I see it as a backer. Edited September 25, 2014 by Monte Carlo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have a public account here. He has his dev account and thats it. I agree with Lychnidos. What makes the story also more believable to me is that I haven't seen many posts by Obs devs outside of office hours.
