Ado13 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I loved every Obsidian game with Kotor 2 as my favorite, i'm also a huge fan of Sci-Fi games. I think that Obsidian should make a original Sci-Fi RPG for the following reasons: 1.) There are lots of Sci-Fi fans and not so many good Sci-Fi RPGs 2.) Because of Kotor 2 Obsidian has experience in making Sci-Fi RPGs 3.) Aside from the new Star Ocean, Xenoblade Chronicles X and the new Mass Effect i dont see many more new Sci-Fi RPGs released any time soon so there should be damand So what do you guys think ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failion Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I bet if you do a poll now. post apocalypse, vampires, fantasy, sci fi. Garauntee you sci fi will be least picked. People like midgets and elves more then phasers and mechs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Its not like you can't have space midgets and space elves. In fact, I think that was a requirement for sci-fi in the 20s, 30s and 40s. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undecaf Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Obsidian should strike a deal with Mike Pondsmith and CDPR to create a true to the PnP rules Cyberpunk RPG with all the Obsidian trademark narrative design, writing and characterization, since CDPR's game will no doubt be more of a CyberWitcher action title than an honest to god cRPG. That's one thing I'd support. 2 Perkele, tiädäksää tuanoini!"It's easier to tolerate idiots if you do not consider them as stupid people, but exceptionally gifted monkeys."

Kavlrya Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well, now... T I loved every Obsidian game with Kotor 2 as my favorite, i'm also a huge fan of Sci-Fi games.

I'd hazard to add Torment: Tides Of Numenera to that list, seeing as how you're willing to include Star Wars as sci-fi, when Star Wars is really science fantasy.What new ground could Obsidian cover with a new science fiction franchise, though? Developing a new setting takes time and dedication. Having dabbled with the subject, I find it to be rather hard, as the setting is supposed to provide good narrative hooks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elerond Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Whoah whoah! Let's get Alpha Protocol 2 done first, then we can worry about pie in the sky ideas like a sci-fi rpg Alpha Protocol 2 is nearly impossible dream, as Alpha Protocol is SEGA's IP. So best hope is to make game with similar theme but that don't actually have any ties with AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavlrya Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Transhuman Space would be *very* nice. It's not a setting that Steve Jackson Games really care about since third edition. It would be nice to see Obsidian just buy the franchise outright and maybe relaunch the franchise using FATE as the ruleset, and do a video game as well.

kensu Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'd love to see an isometric, party-based version of Star Frontiers. Wizards of the Coast probably own the rights to that as well, though. I remember years ago, before Alpha Protocol was a glimmer in Obsidian's eye, thinking that they should do something similar with Top Secret.

Also i know that it is hard creating a whole universe from nothing but i'm confident that i will pay of, i mean just look at Mass Effect. Even if you dislike Mass Effect you must admit that it's selling good and the new Mass Effect will probably sell good as well even after the disaster of Mass Effect 3. The point is people are hungry for Sci-Fi but the demand is not met. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaesun Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If Obsidian is VERY passionate about a certain Sci-Fi setting (of their own design or another) then hell yes.

Qistina Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If Obsidian want to create a sci-fi fantasy games, i think using D20 system like KotOR will be awesome, i don't like FPS Explore the ancient aliens ruins in mysterious unknown planets, discover a plot to donimate the galaxy and try to stop it, involve in epic galatic war between alien races, gather allies and face the dangers set along the path, find out who's the culprit behind everything.... KotOR 3 please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Wouldn't mind it, but not keen on aliens. Primitive life forms are okay, but not a fan of that old cliche of encountering curiously humanoid aliens with remarkably similar technological progression to our own. That's not even science-fantasy, it's just plain old fantasy. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I would love seeing Obsidian been commissioned to have a go at a WH40K Inquisitor CRPG. Just imaging MCA being allowed to indulge in all his darkest fantasies turned up to max and then mostly getting flak for being too mellow Also, we need more stick men comics. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Qistina Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) What class should be in Sci Fi fantasy anyway? Soldier, commando--->warrior, tank Technician, smuggler--->rogue, dps Psychic, medic--->mage, nuker, healer It will goes around that isn't it? What makes the difference?

BrainMuncher Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 There's no reason why a flying saucer couldn't just turn up in Pillars of Eternity 2 and cause a ruckus. Turns out if you polish your full plate enough, it's pretty decent at reflecting lasers. It's those disintegrator beams you have to watch out for.

If it's party based there must be classes, and if it's turn based there must be stats too, it can't be avoided If if remove the class choices in the begining, the player will end up set up classes anyway.

It doesn't have to have classes just because it's party-based. If the player wants to build characters towards some pre-conceived class idea that's their choice just as they can choose not to. Players will gravitate towards building their characters according to what works with the system.
