Meet the Devs

Since there are much of those "what's your favorite whatever" questions, let's add one more: What's your favorite book? What do people in Obsidian read? (Besides codes)

My favorite books are probably The Phantom Tollbooth, The Name of the Rose, and The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci.

Hello, Devs:

How does it feel to be involved in a new Fallout project again since Black Isle?


BTW, Is Avellone here? :P

Man, I haven't thought of the Phantom Toolbooth in years.

I always liked The Westing Game a lot when I was growing up.

You're Oscuro!?

Haha! It finally clicked for me too! That's the ONLY mod I ever used for Oblivion (except one small mod to make the UI PC friendlier)!

That's actually pretty damn cool.

Hello Devs:

If yous consider yourselfs avid gamers, which im sure yous do, I was wondering is there any like very famous games (e.g. Halo, God of War, Splinter Cell, Half Life, Final Fantasy,World of Warcraft...the list goes on, but im sure you know what I mean)
but you havn't actually played, despite their hype and popularity ?
I must admit I have not played a single Final Fantasy or Silent Hill game.

Thanks, also really looking forward to F:NV :D

Congrats and keep up the good work. :thumbsup:


Oh hey! Nice job getting to work for Obsidian. You were a great modder. I think I joined too late to ever meet you, though.


Thank you, both!

Yeah, Expresate, I was "gone" by then, but you've managed to rack quite a few posts in that time, though. Good stuff. :)




What's the first song on your playlist?

Edit: I'm delighted to hear that Oscuro is on the team. New Vegas is definitely going to be balanced, considering all the balancing you did for all Bethesda's games!



Agreed -- I thought that was pretty cool when I heard the news.


Thank you for the kind words, also!

Keep in mind, Orzorn, that one of the great things about developing a game vs modding a game is that it's no longer a "one-man show" (even if OOO had tons of input, content and help from other amazing people).

Everybody here has a voice, everyone puts something special into the mix. The credit for that, be it game balance, art, story, characters, etc, should go to the entire team that develops a given game. Obsidian is full of extremely talented and experienced people from whom I learn new stuff each day. I just aspire to put my own special things into the final result while getting better and better at it. ;)

First song of the playlist? Too many to list here, though "Ghost" from the 11/17/1997 Phish concert in Denver has been taking that prime spot as of late ----> addicted to 20+ minutes live jams.

Cheers,

J.
