"Wasteland 2" Kickstarter Setting Up a Possible Dream Collaboration

Are creators of Wasteland planning to get along with creators of Planescape Torment and Fallout for a dream project?

just keep Obsidian away from codes.

and i hope the game has fully realized world with good writing. not like the soulless PS2 Baldurs Gate game.

Wow, aren't you a tad bit ignorant of the truth?

You give me ONE example of an Obsidian game being bad because it was their fault and not a publisher screwing them over. I'll buy you any game you want if you do.

[NewMonday]

they are bad in programming, the other stuff they do is good, that is whey it is frustrating to play a game they make.

[mynameisEvil]

They aren't bad in programming and you didn't answer the one thing I wanted you to answer.

KOTOR 2 - They had 13 friggin' months to make an entire ROLE-PLAYING GAME. 0_0

Alpha Protocol - SEGA continuously stopped and started development without giving them time to make up for the lost development time. They also didn't let them release patches.

Fallout: New Vegas - Bethesda gave Obsidian less than two years to make a game bigger than Fallout 3 with new gameplay mechanics, a better story-line, tons of side-quests, many new items, restore things that were taken out of Fallout with F3, get star voice-talent, then get rid of all bugs.

That's not being bad with programming. That's being screwed over. Educate yourself before basing your comments off of an wrongfully received reputation.

Obsidian never made those PS2 Baldur's Gate games.

Also,I believe Fargo mentioned they'll be doing the programming while Obsidian will be doing what they do best--design and writing.

This is shaping up nicely, potentially the best WRPG ever made, but we shall see.

Long as Obsidian stays away from the code/technical side of development

Bian Fargo. Chris Avellone. Tim Cain.

The True Dream Team.

If this ends up being good, they should reform into Obsidian-InXile (or something similar)

They would just be better together. The future is bright for the WRPG.

part of me doubts that will happen but i wont lie it would be really cool if the two studios combined... and yes if it does reach 2.1 mil this will be a great dream team

BTW guys, while this sexy piece of heaven is being made, might I suggest we all help out Fatshark games with their endeavor, Krater, and get a sweet game in the process? :D
the pre alpha code works spendidly so Im ULTRA stoked for the final product :D

That actually looks pretty good, but I'm most excited about grim dawn

Diablo 3 will hold me over until it comes out ><

A lot of guys are talking about Obsidian not being good at programming.

Cmon for God's sake, that's coming from the guys who played Skyrim on release despite all the bugs.

RPG games, big and good ones are destined to have bugs. For instance, even Mass effect 3 has some game breaking bugs, and Bioware is much bigger than Obsidian. Also Fallout New Vegas was using Bugthesda's Engine, and they did the QA so Obsidian can't be blamed for that.

The company always uses engines created by other publishers.

Also, Dungeon Siege 3, their latest project was almost bug free.

So just shut up, I love RPG's and I know Obsidian is great at making them. Compare Skyrim's companions with New Vegas Companions, now see what a difference the Obsidian's touch make?

[lightwarrior179]

I agree with you.
I played New Vegas and Skyrim both on PC and I found NV to be a far more glitch and bug-free experience than Skyrim was.

Not to mention I thought NV was better than anything Bethesda has ever done. Obsidian understand Fallout the best for obvious reasons and I'm hoping Bethesda is sensible enough to give them the developing duties for the next Fallout game.

The most glitchy Obsidian game I've played was NWN2.Everything else by them doesn't hold a candle to what troubles that game gave me.
