Let speculation about the horrible ending begin. I love RPGs. I love Alien. I'm not sure they would work well together, though an Alien survival horror game could be interesting.

Title: Re: Obsidian to make Alien RPG Post by: Riggswolfe on December 14, 2006, 02:30:37 PM An Aliens MMO? Hmmm...don't know.
I know they came out with a pen and paper game that fleshed out the Aliens universe. It was a very "corporations run everything and compete against each other" type of universe. It could work for an MMO.

Bioware needs to buy Obsidian and rebuild Black Isle Studios. Damn the cost! Title: Re: Obsidian to make Alien RPG Post by: Fabricated on December 16, 2006, 09:23:54 AM KOTOR2 was fucking great until you ran out of game. You realize how sad it is when your fans basically put the last third of your game together with a hacky patch?
Title: Re: Obsidian to make Alien RPG Post by: Strazos on December 16, 2006, 10:54:00 AM What's even sadder is that there wasn't really anything stopping Obsidian from putting out a patch to "fix" the ending. It would have even worked for the Xbox version.
We all got burned on KotOR2. Apparently, people felt a bit burned on NWN2 (I didn't purchase this one). I'd be reticent to buy another of their products. Title: Re: Obsidian to make Alien RPG Post by: geldonyetich on December 16, 2006, 11:00:13 AM Having played KOTOR1 and KOTOR2 back to back, I couldn't make it past the mid point of KOTOR2. In comparison it dragged out much too long and wasn't nearly as well encapsulated. Also, ATI hates the engine KOTOR runs on, although I was able to rectify that by running older drivers.

It would have even worked for the Xbox version. NWN2 isn't too bad outside of the clunky shitpot of an engine it's running. The areas feel claustrophobic too, but that's somewhat mitigated by the fact the areas can now have rolling hills and the like. The plot/voiceacting is pretty good, and the combat is pretty much NWN, so the game aspect is alright.We all got burned on KotOR2.
