Nope.

I'm green with envy . . .I wish I could get on with Obsidian
 
Heh, Kharn must've been Bethesdas fanboy for a very long time to make such suspicious typos. :D

Anyway, I hope Sawyer's siding with Obsidian is just the start of rare decent RPG dev team (I underline - I hope)

Tim, Leo, wheeere aaare yooou, jooohoooo...
 
I really wish obsidian could reach independent financial success like bethesda, so they could stop making sequel's for Bioware's worst games (not that bioware's games are that awful, i just think they used to be better)
 
Obsidian`s next game won`t be a sequel of any kind. They already have a forum for it and all, but be warned that it will be a console only release.

But...I don't like Mistress' Place.

Those quotes may be from mistresslair, but Sawyer posted about it on SA earlier.

But...but...but...I can't quote or credit SA, I'll be fucking with their precious dev users if I do. They'll attack me.

OH NOEZ, TEH WRATH OF THE SA UBERNERDS
 
Is the reason their first original product will be on consoles only because they aren't financially stable enough to win support for a pc only game? Or is the company simply eerie of going pc only?

You should have done it, Kharn, so we could have SA people coming here to inform us that there's a disclaimer hidden in an alt-text in the product details for item #227 in the SA hentai store, which reads: "You Should Not Fuck with J.E. Sawyer's Livelihood by Quoting Him, Paraphrasing Him or Otherwise Acknowledging His Existence."

PC games are much easier and cheaper to dev than console games. Console game development requires substantial investment in tools, technology and hardware, so it is not the easier route by any means. You can't dev a console game anyway without the approval of the console manufacturer.

BTW, Tim Donley is now at Obsidian...
