Why would anyone want Obsidian on the Witcher? Game's fine as it is
every game could use some obsidian <3
lots of people with very extreme views about rpgs being really unpleasant about rpg things.Why, what's wrong with RPG Codex?
like with everything, obviously not everyone at the site is like that but it's not the friendliest of places
i liked life is strange but little about that game gave me any confidence in dontnod's ability to make an rpg
specially since the writing in life is strange is kind of ehhhh
shaky foundations or not obsidian used it to build new vegas which is imo the best rpg since troikaDon't worry, the troll's story doesn't end there. It never does, and that's what makes CDPR's questlines and consequences so good.
And re: engines... it's not about what they can accomplish, but what they do accomplish. The flexibility of Bethesda's engines is great for modding, which their games always need to fix their mistakes (and Bethesda has tried time and again to monetise) but it's held them back just as much, if not moreso compared to the competition. They've gone, what, four games now with the same shakey foundations?
simulation is an important part of games for me and so i like engines like gamebryo even if they're bursting at the seams
even if it's up to modders to fix it, i respect the hell out of those foundations
