Feargus isn't "cowardly" or "penny pinching". He has the habit of promising the publisher he can do too much too fast. Then he runs out of money and time and has to release a game that looks cheap and is half finished.

@Losercel knows what I'm talking about.

Who's Feargus

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Feargus Urquhart who runs Obsidian. Infamous for his falling out with Chris Avellone, the best talent they had. Avellone blames him for over-promising, leading to games like KOTOR2 being released half-finished.

Some of his Pillars characters are written like shit though. Overall overhyped. And a kitty.

Imagine judging him by his work on Pillars of :marseylongpost:. He was just phoning it in by then.

It's the game where I know what he wrote. In other games it's an obscure "writer" role.

Part of that is his job though. I think it also mostly depends on how the title is perceived in the eyes of the community. The Larian guy (Sven something) also promised many things that didn't end up in the game (e.g. the upper city of Baldur's Gate) but people don't seem to mind that as the game itself is still good. If anything, judging by Kaami's reaction, I highly doubt the average g*mer knows anything about the people making their game.

tl;dr if game good who cares

if game bad who is at fault

But most games are bad so we should concentrate on the few cases when it does go right.

Sometimes I wish developers would just say "because that's the way we wanted to make the game, chodes"

HBS said something to that effect when questioned why all the character creation options for Battletech (the computer game) ranged from tan to darker end of the skin tone spectrum and there were no blonde hair with blue eyes combination or white skin tones. The only issue was that in at least 2 places in the intro cinematic there are people depicted that directly contradict their whole "that particular combination of features doesn't exist" statement.

Battletech by HBS was written by someone who wanted to do a highschool romance game. They should have never been on the project. https://persenche.medium.com/the-design-philosophy-of-battletech-b17163718905

it was a DEI hire wasnt it? Its kind of funny how you can just look at their pictures now and tell what their personality is like having not even talked to them at this point.

The 10th Anniversary of GG is this year. Let us remember GG as the canary in the coal mine for what would usher in a decade of Blumpf along with Christofascism and Train Genocide.

It's gotten to the point we're ok now morbidly curious about how bad it will be. Like how many more aspects of Pillars can they remove?

Wait is this the same Obsidian that made Fallout: NEET Vegas?

I didn't know they made shitty, boring crpgs for boomers as well. And when I mean shitty, boring crpgs, I mean all of them. I played Baldur's Gate HD to see what crpgs are all about and concluded that only neurodivergent boomers could enjoy such sleep inducing gameplay.

I would like to acknowledge that the land we are on is the traditional territory of the Marseyan Tribe, Zombulstragos, and Platillians. These Indigenous communities have lived on this land for thousands of years, and their spiritual and cultural connections to this land are deeply rooted.

It is important to recognize the history and ongoing presence of these Indigenous communities and the impacts of colonization, which have caused significant harm to their people and cultures. We must acknowledge the resilience and strength of the Marseyan Tribe, Zombulstragos, and Platillians in the face of these challenges and the ongoing contributions they make to their communities and to society as a whole.

It is imperative that we work towards building stronger relationships with Indigenous communities, including the Marseyan Tribe, Zombulstragos, and Platillians, and prioritize their voices and perspectives in our efforts towards reconciliation and healing. This includes acknowledging their rightful place as the traditional custodians of this land and working towards reparations for the harm that has been done.

We must commit to learning about the distinct histories and experiences of all Indigenous peoples and take responsibility for our role in perpetuating colonial violence. Only by working together can we build a more just and equitable society for all.
