Interesting. I liked the spaciousness of the Mojave...

I know a lot of people from Obsidian. They actually just had a round of layoffs at the end of March, several people from Armored Warfare were let go, it was a bit shady how and why it was done though according to multiple sources.

Sawyer being right as usual



Ten years ago: Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights 2 with Mass Effect and The Witcher the following year and Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Jade Empire the prior. We are indeed in a much better time.

Maybe the Balancemaster should spend more time trying to make his games FUN instead of crapping all over various social media.

Obsidian Color Blindness 101:

How does he deal with traffic lights?

 

[Sannom]

Top one means stop, bottom one means go.

 

[Turrul]

How does he deal with traffic lights?

Wut? Are you sure that you know what a traffic light is?

 

[Fry]

Top one means stop, bottom one means go.

That, and... http://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/sigvison.htm

tl;dr - traffic signals are designed so that red and green are distinguishable from each other by color blind people.

 

[Trashos]

Do only AAA titles include colorblind solutions or modest titles as well? I was wondering whether Josh and Tim can only play AAA now.

melnorme asked: Were The Kings in New Vegas inspired by the local militias that have sometimes cooperated with, sometimes resisted the US military in its various wars, like the Shi'ites in Baghdad during the 2000s?

Actual lol.

lol

 

[Infinitron]

lol geez. Oh well, what kind of Codexer would I be if I didn't overthink things.

Where you saw May Farrow (who?), I saw a deconstruction of Revan.

It's a p. whatevs change, one could instead just transition from small guns to big guns or energy weapons instead of creating some wimpy energo guns and erasing big guns skill. Shit, without a rebalance mod you get so many skill points you can max everything you care about so what's the point of pruning skills?

Also about combining melee and unarmed, he did that with the perks in his mod.

 

[Infinitron]

With the mod, the transition is from small guns or energy weapons to "big guns" of either type. That's another thing that's good about the change, it resolves the unclear distinction between energy and big (which one is a Gatling Laser again?)

Another one:

Remember how a bunch of people got mad at Josh when I pointed out that he said that if he were to work on a future Fallout title he'd merge all guns into one firearms skill and melee/unarmed into one.

Then Bethesda released Fallout 4.

He'd also need to rebalance skill point gain for that to be meaningful at all, and avoid level cap raises which I don't think would fly well with Bethesda players.
