I bet Devastation would be easier to find. Platinum probably have their own copies.

Xerophyte posted:It's common in the industry -- or was common at the time in any case -- to have the source and all the other assets on perforce, which is a version control system that's generally run on some local server set up by your local IT department. At some point your local IT department will go "hey, we're migrating to [New P4 Version/Github/Something Else], teams please upload your work to the new server", current work gets uploaded to the new server, everyone moves on, and all the not-so-current work that was on the old server gets left to gather dust. need more video game archivisits/librarians

I can't believe Baldurs Gate 3 finally comes out in less than a week.

I'm sure nothing bad will come of their decision to drastically inflate the expectations of the gamers.

I dunno, Larian Studios is building on the foundation of Divinity Original Sin 2, and that RPG was really good and well designed. The Early Access has also been very good. At least the first 20 hours don't poo poo the bed.

Yeah I've seen enough to know it's good. There could get rid of the unplayed Acts and I'd still think it was a good game, just surprisingly pleasantly short.

How big is the city of Baldur's Gate suppose to be in BG3? I loved how huge the city was in the other two games, it felt very immersive, and the atmosphere was really good.

If people talked about my gate for 20 years and 3 games I would be mortified. My thoughts lie with Baldur during this no-doubt trying time.

The source is supposedly still available, it's just in their archives somewhere. Losing the source code / files for a video game is nothing new, we just never hear about it.

Ok so here are the facts: there is no Baldur. Baldur's Gate is named after Balduran, legendary sea explorer, who set up fortifications in his home harbour (Gray Harbor) to protect his accrued wealth. When he disappeared during a subsequent voyage, the locals finished the construction of the walls, which in turn attracted more settlers, and thus paved the way to the modern metropolis of today

Developers just losing source code/assets because nobody cares/is paid to maintain them seems like something that should be even more common Reminds me of the (apocryphal?) story about the BBC just like taping over copies of old Dr. Who eps with no backup because hey those tapes are expensive who cares about this stupid cheap sci-fi show

most of the 5e fr books have been building up to some kind of, obelisk related metastory, and the next fr adventure they're going to release is like "the secret of the obelisks" where theyre finally going to reveal what its all about. except no one knows or cares what the gently caress theyre talking about because if an adventure is like "wow this room contains a mysterious obelisk, no we're not gonna tell you what it does. pretty cool huh?" every DM is either going to omit it or replace it with something more interesting
