CCP is now irrelevant. Now it's Red Eagle's turn to gently caress off and give away the media rights to the Wheel of Time, so Obsidian can give us the ultimate skirt-smoothing RPG.

This. I'd throw money at a kickstarter project to start a kickstarter project to make this game. I've kickstarted several of the 20th anniversary hardbacks, and I'd have done them all if I'd been aware of the others at the time.

This is the most exciting news I've heard in a while. Nothing has even really been announced, but I'm already feeling like there's a new game on the way in my heart of hearts.

Sweeeeet Since the thread is a little more active now, I'm gonna quote this in hopes somebody knows how to help me get the clan quest stuff working FirstAidKite posted:I'm having trouble getting the clan quest mod to work. I installed it to the correct directory using a fresh install of the game through steam, I didn't have any fan patches or anything else in there except the base game, but for some reason all I get is a console log showing a ton of "unable to load data _______________" and nothing changing. I tried googling this but all I found was a few other people asking about this and not getting any answers. Anybody have any idea what went wrong? I tried a second time, deleting everything in the vampire the masquerade steam folder and uninstalling the game and then reinstalling the game and reinstalling the clan quest mod, but it did the same thing as before. No changes to the game and the console showing on the main menu listing a bunch of "unable to load data" errors. Anybody else have any trouble patching the game? e: did another fresh install of the game, didn't even try to patch it yet, and it brings up all these errors at the start.  I dunno if these errors are what is preventing the game from being patched or what :\ FirstAidKite fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Oct 29, 2015 |

Did any of the other key members of Troika make it to Obsidian besides Tim Cain? I know Leonard Boyarsky is currently at Blizzard which is a bummer since he was the lead on Bloodlines. But gently caress it, Alpha Protocol in the WoD setting would be enough for me

I won't say it's *not* happening, but that tweet is only indicative of the fact that the community manager at Obsidian thinks that's cool and is probably going to bring it up to the higher-ups. I'd be pretty surprised if they set up something *before* the deal. I'd also be surprised if they didn't pursue the opportunity now, though.

It's going to be a tiresomely common opinion - but while Obsidian would still be almost certainly the best people for the job, I really wish a project like this could have either Avellone or George Ziets involved. They get cited as superstar RPG writers again and again, and I don't think that's always accurate (they've both done some pretty rote work for more generic fantasy products), but the simple fact is, they've both truly proven that if you let them loose on a dark and twisted premise, they'll give you something that's unique, artful, and deeply personal. Whereas the writing of Pillars of Eternity, as the first product of a really post-Avellone world...just seemed stolid. A bit plodding, a bit written-to-order. WoD deserves someone who'll really give the story their own touch.

It is a tiresome opinion because Avellone had nothing to do with the original Bloodlines and it still managed to be great. It's also weird that you'd cite Pillars as a post Avellone project because he was very much involved with it and was responsible for its dullest and weakest character. He left Obsidian after that project wrapped. Besides, dude is still on the hook for like a bunch of tie-in novellas, he ought to get those things sorted some time.

Paradox have also responded to that tweet from Obsidian and seem reasonably open to the idea themselves. It's not a 100% certainty, but both parties do seem interested and open to the idea so assuming negotiations and contracts go well, it'll probably happen. grobbo posted:It's going to be a tiresomely common opinion - but while Obsidian would still be almost certainly the best people for the job, I really wish a project like this could have either Avellone or George Ziets involved. No disrespect to Avellone, but he quite frequently gets cited for things he never actually did. When Fallout New Vegas was in development for example, he wrote only a couple of scenarios and characters yet people seemed to assume the game was his baby. What I'm trying to say is that as talented as Avellone is, he isn't infallible and Obsidian have plenty of other talented writers. Also if Avellone really wanted, he could write for a potential Obsidian developed WoD game on a freelance contract.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:^ Disgraced Warrior Guy I Forgot The Name Of, right? He seems lame as a character. Useful in combat but lame as a character. No, I actually enjoyed Eder. I mean Grieving Mother, a character whose in game background explanation gave a convenient cop out for having no party interactions, limited effect and bearing on the world (aside from a single quest resolution possibility), and an entirely unstimulating and unfulfilling personal quest. There was some cut content that could have potentially fleshed her out, but she was like the framework for a Planescape: Torment type interesting character and very little else than that. But I don't even know why Chris Avellone is brought up because it was Brian Mitsoda who actually did the cool writing on Bloodlines, and he's off with his own indie game company right now.

I literally just met her before shelving the game for MGSV a month back. Her introduction is really neat but it's a shame she doesn't have much beyond that.

When Fallout New Vegas was in development for example, he wrote only a couple of scenarios and characters yet people seemed to assume the game was his baby. Well, no - but that's exactly what I said above. Avellone doesn't have a perfect record, and he seems to struggle with more straightforward genre fare (his characters in NWN2, for example) But this is exactly the kind of project that I think would suit his rather dark and playful sensibilities best, so I'd be particularly delighted to see his take on it. (And again, the same goes for Ziets, who did such great and thoughtful work on Mask of the Betrayer, and then it seemed like Obsidian didn't quite know the best way to use him afterwards...)

Samuel Clemens posted:I just hope they let Brian Mitsoda write all the Malkavian dialogue again. He did knock that poo poo out of the park. Managing to rewrite line after line like that for a game as dialog heavy as Bloodlines without it being absolutely cringe inducing is praiseworthy. That he made it more enjoyable than the original dialog throughout and actually tied in cryptic poo poo that played on your character just 'knowing' things about later plot was really great.

Samuel Clemens posted:I just hope they let Brian Mitsoda write all the Malkavian dialogue again. Looking over the responses to that tweet suggests that Mitsoda is down for a new Vampire game, though I'm basing this off a tweet lumping him with someone else, who responds for him. So it could just be a string of people talking out their rear end. Not related to the news but I haven't seen anyone mention news regarding the next CQM update. A couple months back the creator announced that 4.0 would include a new Sabbat storyline, as well as a new hub area.
