OneFiercePuppy: They already made a Mass Effect game. It's called Alpha Protocol, and like pretty much all their games, it was buggy on release, has been mostly fixed, and generally gets either very good reviews, or very bad ones. Not a lot of middle ground.
But, seriously, they obviously wouldn't make a ME or DA game since those IPs are wound up tight. Be glad for PoE, which is a good game, and KOTOR 2, and NWN2, and FO3-2 (New Vegas, you know what I mean).
Elmofongo: So Alpha Protocal. Is it good? But, seriously, they obviously wouldn't make a ME or DA game since those IPs are wound up tight. Be glad for PoE, which is a good game, and KOTOR 2, and NWN2, and FO3-2 (New Vegas, you know what I mean).
I am well aware that the game was very buggy at release. Any patches that completely fixed the game?
Cons: hacking mini-game, some bugs (considerably fewer than other Obsidian releases and some of them can be fixed by reading a sticky thread in the tech forum). Bottom line - could have been really great, but never got to its full potential.
As for Dungeon Siege 3....Probably the least buggy game ever made by Obsidian, but not much of a DS game. Still, i enjoyed it.
darthspudius is partially right: Obsidian shoudl design games, someone else should do the tech part. All their games were buggy at launch and many got fixed by fans (Fallout 1/2, Planescape, Icewind Dale 1/2, Alpha Protocol, NWN2, KOTOR 2, Fallout New Vegas - all of them have community made patches). Hell, their least buggy game is DS3. Even Pillars is still not fully patched, with some quests still being broken. But, hey, they work hard on the expansions and adding new features. I'd rather having them working them on squashing the bugs...but what do i know.
I acknowledge Obsidian as what it is: a flawed company, but one that does some really enjoyable games (yes, with all the bugs, you can still enjoy their games)
All this part was for Elmofongo.
And please, goglodytes, stop downrepping people because they have a different opinion than yours. darthspudius is entitled to his opinion, just like you are entitled to yours. And think that someone might do the same downrep, just because you disagree with their opinion. Think you will like that?!
