Nein, you can't have a beard without a stache unless you're amish. Just not a good look.

Pentiment is Obsidian’s best game, and it’s barely a game.

I liked it, though

edit: I take that back, alpha brotocol is clearly their best

Some people make fun of this game's name.

ireallyreallyhatesafemode asked:
Would a spiritual sequel to Pentiment be called Palimpsest? Are there any plans or ideas for one?

The original non-working title of Pentiment actually was Palimpsest! Microsoft legal sensed potential difficulty with securing that name so I renamed it to Pentiment.
And no, I have no plans to make any sort of sequel, spiritual or otherwise, for Pentiment. I always intended it as a stand alone story. It may inspire ideas (hopefully not just for me!) in the future, but I'm happy with where we've left it.

A sequel to Pediment should maintain the architectural theme; I recommend Pilaster, though this isn't the only possibility.

If nothing else I can give Josh a thumbs up for making a one-and-done game. That's increasily rare even amongst indies nowadays.

I fully support dirtbags on general principle, but those guys are the worst. They act as if they have the weary cynicism that comes with great knowledge and the wisdom of years. Yet, on the few topics I’ve heard them discuss, they were laughably ill-informed.

From this I gathered that the dirtbag left was synonymous with hipsters who dabble in contemporary politics.

Disgusting creatures.
