Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

[Irenaeus II]

You are the mentally changed here. What Name implied and I answered FIRST is exactly the same that you took 6 lines to answer AGAIN.

I don't feel sorry for you.

 

[Irenaeus II]

In case anyone else has any doubt: EA/Disney banning all contracts contracts with the likes of Obsidian = EA had the exclusivity deal in this context.

Also, fuck Disney in the ass. And EA, for good measure.

Challenge everything.

 

[Fairfax]

What he said was wrong, and all you said was "Seems so". You just edited your post afterwards. Nice job, retard.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I'm a poor reader, so was he saying that after he left, someone finally told him that EA/Disney had banned all contracts with the likes of Obsidian?

Seems so. Obsidian didn’t know it couldn’t do.

Disregard the idiot above.

I answered first because I'm more powerful in the FORCE. I'm so powerful I can edit my own posts.

 

[Fairfax]

Nah, you're just so stupid you're saying Obsidian didn't know the deal existed.

 

[Irenaeus II]

They didn't know they had been effectively banned to deal in the ways of the FORCE, which is what Avellone seems to imply, as Name said.

MCA Interview in the newest Game Informer. I think it was the first time he talked about his departure sort of directly. Is it against the rules to share the text and/or link?

Share the link at least man.

It's not a very revealing answer (at least in regard to internal Obsidian stuff) but here's an excerpt (that's fair game, right?)

lol noob

 

[ArchAngel]

They didn't mention him making PST in sub title.. wtf!!! Idiot news people. "impressive titles like Icewind Dale..." Really? but no mention of PST..

EDIT: Otherwise a very cool article.

 

[Sannom]

They obviously knew about the exclusivity deal, they're not as stupid as you, I'm sure, he's just saying they wasted their time.

I'm not sure I agree with you here, doesn't that sentence implies that Obsidian pitched KOTOR 3 without realizing that it was a waste of time because they weren't aware of things like the exclusive deal with EA?

 

[Infinitron]

I wouldn't necessarily read that sentence as MCA saying that Obsidian wasted their time pitching games they couldn't make. He might just have said that to emphasize that his options were limited at Obsidian, even more limited than he knew at first. So if he ever wants to work on a new KOTOR game, he has to leave Obsidian. (in before MCA joins Bioware, mass suicide)

 

[Crooked Bee]

I'd be okay with MCA joining any company as long as he assumed total control over design and writing on his project (or at least as total as control can be at a large company). Him being simply a part of the team is good, but not good enough.

Can you imagine a game led by him and where he is given total creative control but has the budget of DAI? Damn, that would probably be best game ever!

 

[Viata]

It's not good. Obsidian "told" us how he being just a part of the team is not good.

 

[Roguey]

Haha "creative director" was a bullshit title, no wonder Obsidian hasn't bothered to replace it.

For example, Beamdog's Siege of Dragonspear reminded me what the touchstones of fun companions should be (and what it takes to create a great adversary, not just a villain).

Sick burn.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Seems like he thinks PoE's companions and villain are not fun. Or great.

 

[Infinitron]

Captain Schael Corwin
A deadshot archer who serves the Flaming Fist, Captain Corwin is ready to take the fight to the Shining Lady to protect the city she loves.

Voghiln the Vast
A skald from the north who inspires his allies with epic tales--as long as the ale keeps flowing.

M’Khiin Grubdoubler
A goblin on her own, determined not to return to her tribe. Her unusual shamanic magic may turn the tide of battle.

Glint Gardnersonson
The blessings of Baravar Cloakshadow follow this irrepressible gnome, who uses his clerical abilities to support his more subtle talents.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I thought Captain was a man right until the end. Voghiln reminds me of Khelgar. M’Khiin seems like a riot (did goblins always look like gremlins?). I thought Glint was a woman right until the end (I wonder what his more subtle talents are? *crossdressing*).

 

[ArchAngel]

Yes, he shares the same opinion like the Codex.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Dat face...

 

[Infinitron]

To be fair to Chris, it looks like none of them is an elf.

 

[Dragula]

No instead we get something unique like "A goblin on her own".

 

[Crooked Bee]

Those SoD companions sound generic as fuck. MCA is probably just being polite.

 

[Roguey]

Being polite at Pillars of Eternity's expense.

 

[Irenaeus II]

What's wrong? I thought everybody would want to adventure with what seems like a fun rootless goblin yenta witch. I can already imagine hilarity ensuing.
