Shitsidian were never good
at all
the sad fact is avelone literally admitted a few years ago that despite five fricking extra dlc, new vegas was 'never going to be finished'
All shitsidian can do is butcher actual pre written lore, alá new vegas or star wars.
The only good 'game' and I use that term loosely, was the south park one because they literally were forced to only design the gameplay. Sound? Story? Characters? Etc? Nope. All taken care of. And even then it only was considered a 'good game' because it was a playable fricking episode of South Park
>The only good 'game' and I use that term loosely, was the south park one
Even then they fricked up and it had to be delayed multiple times
Compare that to the sequel which had no obsidian.
No, Obsidian was never good to begin with. Contrarian blowhards just mistook barely functional games with a coating of Chris Avellone's pseudointellectual ramblings as "quality."
I really liked Kotor 2
that said, Chris Avellone writes fricking encyclopedia entries because apparently the concept of show don't tell is a fricking mystery to him
it's so damn annoying to play his games with 10 wikilinks per paragraph to a lore page containing even more levels of wikilinks
Tyranny was a small and mediocre. Pillars of Eternity 2 jumped the shark so hard both in and outside the game that it killed any hope of future isometrics.
Both Tyranny and Pillars of Eternity 1 bored me to tears. I couldn't get into the story at all. Tyranny had promise being an evil campaign but it just didn't land for me.
I saw screencaps of dialogue in PoE 2 and that evaporated what little interested I had in giving that one a shot.
Honestly after all the updates PoE2 ends up being a pretty fun exploration cRPG. The story is so unbelievably fricked that they didn't really bother fixing it though. They patched in a book at the very beginning that is a pseudo-telephone to an extremely important character from the 1st game - 2 years after release. Which serves as an unabashed exposition dump that explains the canon ending of 1, what happened during the time jump from 1 to 2 and elaborating the actual plot of 2. It's pretty bad. Fun combat though.
Lot of npcs brain broken by ideology here, pretty soon the Earth itself will begin orbiting around trans rights, as if there aren't any other causes in our modern world
I'd say that the fact that we're even entertaining delusions as real is a pretty big problem. These delusions are being pushed on kids too through mandatory public education. So it's not some harmless issue like you think it is.
Let's just entertain for a second that these issues are a pathological problem that needs to be solved, like I'm guessing you believe. First off, what does Obsidian have to do with this giant ass movement? It's transparently gamers looking for another outrage in their precious medium. Second, how do you reconcile doing "good" and "saving kids" with the intense death threats and bullying trans people receive? If you're planning on pathologizing this, it seems that the push against them is hurting people, who, deluded or not, are people. Approaching this without compassion shows that, unlike a doctor, it's yet another outlet for outrage at shifts in our culture.
>First off, what does Obsidian have to do with this giant ass movement?
They pay lip service to it >intense death threats and bullying trans people receive?
They really don't. Not anymore. Also enabling their delusions causes them more harm. What they need is medication and therapy.
So I see you approached this pretending to be neutral and not at all ideological when you're very clearly titled towards the pro-troony side of this issue which is what I expected.
The fact that they initially just made games based on a already successful basis and still never actually finished making any of them is wild to me.
Kotor 2, NW2, New Vegas are all known for the masses of unfinished content.
They were always largely incompetent as developers, but had a couple good writers. Now the writers have either lost their touch or left, so all that remains is the incompent developers.
Microsoft bought em.
fpwp commiefornia wokeness ruined yet another studio. microshaft will need 10 years to course correct

also pandering to trannies instead of us.
All the talent abandoned ship after New Vegas because they weren't getting paid enough.
>All the talent
Like two guys left. If all your talent resides in just two guys you never had any talent.
No need to repeat the obvious.
Water finds its own level.
Like all mid to large companies in the US they succumbed to the woke mind virus.
female "devs"

weak bait
How is the unvarnished truth bait?
This. All the talent ended up at Troika and never bothered coming to obsidian.
Leonard Boyarsky, Tim Cain and Brian Mitsoda were Troika who then went to work at Obsidian. Brian Mitsoda left. The other two are still there.
Is there something redeeming about woke shit in your view?
Im trans and care about LGBTQIA2+ representation like everyone else
Ah ok, thanks for confirming that your opinion is worthless.
>like everyone else
There's a reason why mass killings of gays are quickly forgotten
>NOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T CRITICIZE LEFTISTS
Obsidian was never good.
They had barely a handful of people responsible for all the magic and when they left they had nothing.

Fun gameplay is fine and all but I'm also playing an RPG for the story. I couldn't finish Divinity Original Sin 1 for the same reason.
all the experienced Employees left
He won

never good
Woke investors.

Speaking as someone who thoroughly enjoyed the original NWN, NWN2 was one of the worst games I have ever played. Obsidian was never good.

can't wait for half the characters to be trannies and the other half to be neon haired half shaved head dykes
