Physical fulfillment meaning backer rewards maybe? I also believe the physical PC market is alive and well in Europe.

These days I'd only buy a physical PC game if it included a proper manual, not the dinky crap we get nowadays but a goddamn volume filled with descriptions of lore,spells and abilities.

Bleh, I donated good money to have Feargus sit in the Obsidian basement stuffing cloth maps and t-shirts into boxes for weeks on end, sobbing quietly the entire time. Here's the press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fignwDZy-SI "We're partnering with Obsidian Entertainment to bring, first of all, Pillars of Eternity to market"

Kuiperdolin posted:Does that actually noticeably change anything for kickstarter backers ? Your physical goods will have been touched by swedes, rather than the holy hands of obsidian employees. Lawsuit? Honestly, having a publisher for the literal box printing, cd burning and physical shop distribution makes sense. The idea was to do a game without the problems / shackles a publisher brings. This achieves that just fine. Who cares if a second name goes on the box / in the credits? With the publishers merely publishing not backing the game the balance of power is firmly on obsidians side. I'm sure most publishers would happily take a cut of box sales in exchange for making and distributing said boxes.

Oh God, it's gonna be weird for a while to see both Obsidian and Paradox logo at the same time. For me they always represented different kind of games that I played (RPG and Grand Strategy).

If the lore and maps on Dyrwood, etc, are detailed enough it should be possible to straight up mod the whole continent into CK2

Fair Bear Maiden posted:I don't think that's true. I mean, it might be true for some backers, even the majority of them, but look at how the press is covering it. Both Eurogamer and Rock, Paper, Shotgun acted flabbergasted, and honestly, while most seem to have taken it well, there were plenty of negative reactions on the Obsidian forums, NeoGAF, Eurogamer comments, etc. It's no skin off my nose, but as a developer you have to tread carefully. Yeah but the press insisted that South Park was incredibly buggy because it's more about what gives good story and about established narratives. I haven't really seen any outcry except from journalists who seem to be predicting that there's going to be a backlash that hasn't materialized. Lugaloco posted:Why is the head image a Skyrim screenshot? This interview is a bit bananas. The same shot was used in an interview where one of Obsidian's post-PoE project ideas was compared to Skyrim in terms of stuff like quest structure. So it's probably tagged as being a PoE shot. It's also a fairly hostile interview so I wouldn't be surprised if the guy just grabbed a random shot on the way to publishing it.

I'm really leaning towards Druid for my first playthrough now, and I never play hippie nature types. So, congrats Obsidian and ropekid, you've done it again.

Well, that's... certainly nothing close to what I was expecting. I'll reserve judgment for now, but unless it's got a normal Obsidian-level story to it, I can't see what'll set it apart from other tank games.

If that's real, I can see why they didn't make a big deal out of announcing it. That said it seems sketch as gently caress *e oh my God it's real.

What the gently caress? Is this the MMO Obsidian was contracted for assistance on? I assume they're just lending 'idle' art team members or something? Most underwhelming/revolting 'next product' reveal ever.

Seriously, how bleak is it that Obsidian is working on two Russian MMOs, neither of which make use of their self-proclaimed strengths as an RPG developer.

Well, if you go check out other "My.com" projects, there's another standard fantasy MMO called Skyforge and the Obsidian logo is down at the bottom of the page. Might just be using their engine for that though, either way its a weird relationship.
