Every obsidian game has a manic pixie woman

It was 2010 and Felicia Day was hot poo poo in the nerd community at the time.

Just be thankful that Veronica had a good companion quest when she wasn't being twee as gently caress. Also be thankful you weren't playing Dragon Age 2 where she was literally just fantasy Felicia Day with the creepiest elves ever put in a video game. Imagine doing a photo transfer of Day's face and then stretching it over inhuman bone structure. It's terrifying.



Also Kotor 2 doesn't have a manic pixie dream girl. It has an rear end in a top hat bounty hunter, a blind rear end in a top hat with a death wish, an rear end in a top hat Kung Fu master with an inferiority complex thanks to her bitchy sisters, and another Blind rear end in a top hat who is sick of all these star wars.

Most fun build IMO is melee/explosives, you can actually get enough 40mm grenades to use it as your main weapon. :unsmigghh:

I actually flamed out on my first character because shotgunning people in the face wasn't as effective as I felt it should have been. I rolled a melee/explosives guy and ran around with Thump-Thump as my primary weapon. Got through the main story and all the dlc except Honest Hearts with that character. :allears:

Perpetually a Pain.
You need Shotgun Surgeon to make Shotguns fun, but if you have that and then add 'And Stay Back', you're death on two legs, even against enemies with a pretty high DT, it's just hilarious how badly you gently caress up everyone and everything everywhere. The more pellets per shot the better, too, low-pellet shotguns are noticeably worse, so the hunting shotgun/dinner bell are just straight up better than caravan shotguns, etc.

Seriously, Shotgun Surgeon and And Stay Back almost break the game.

There's a lot of HD retexture mods that quickly devour the game's memory and leads to crashes from a memory leak.

We're not getting any remastered Star Wars games until EA loses the license and Disney switches to the Games Workshop style of "give the license to literally anyone and then sift through the crap to find good games like Vermintide or total Warhammer"

At this point I'd be content with a remaster that triples the resolution so you can actually read the text and tell what's happening on screen

This already exists? The built in widescreen from the newer Steam and GOG versions works out of the box and pretty much any resolution, and there is a "2x" scale option so you can have, say, a 1080p resolution enabled, but still have everything the same size/scale as if you were viewing the original resolution. I'm using a 2560x1080 Ultrawide monitor and both F1 and F2 work out of the box on that resolution. They are perfectly sized and readable. Just make sure to check 2x scaling in the vid options. It does add a touch more pixilation, but it's definitely worth it.

I am somewhat scared of Bethesda getting the idea of Remastering 1 and 2 to fit whatever dumb canon they want. It is likely too costly a venture for Todd to take, but he did make Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Blades so it isn't like they're above making incredibly stupid mistakes.

They're gonna remaster them as phone games with microtransactions because gently caress you, you'll eat poo poo and like it.

If the todd is going full gently caress you mode he should hire Chris Avallone to write up a version of New Vegas where every character is Ulysses and all he does is bitch about you and your choices.

Your companions already do this in Fallout 4 anytime you dare pick anything up off the ground.

It's why the spend the whole game keeping Mama Murphy company in Sanctuary.
