Bethesda writer discovers writing.
Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith says Baldur’s Gate 3 surprised him with how much meaningful choices can improve an RPG.
Bethesda usually lets players join almost every faction, while BG3 makes some decisions permanent, meaning you can miss entire storylines depending on your choices.
He was surprised by how much he enjoyed BG3’s approach, where major decisions can permanently close off certain paths and encourage players to try different choices in another playthrough.
“They were both fun, they’re just fun in different ways.”

A day early, but in honor of Fallout 2's anniverary, here's how we used to do area designs for the old isometric games - in this case, New Reno.
Maps were hand-drawn (had to use that Architecture minor for something).
And thanks to Scott Everts for actually making these maps playable. : )

Chris Avellone (Planescape, KOTOR 2, and Fallout: New Vegas) just dropped a MEGATON NUKE regarding BioWare's hiring practices...
"...when applicants would apply to the studio, the producer would go through their LinkedIn to see what posts they liked, and if he disagreed with their political/social Like, he'd advocate not to hire them based on their Like."
ITS TRUE. EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN SAYING. ITS ALL TRUE.
HOLY SHIT!

the fuck you mean "early development on the next mass effect," you announced it six years ago. it took 4 1/2 years to release the entire original trilogy.

This was Microsoft’s confidential international Halo research from October 2000. Only Jaime and I went to the presentation.
The first conclusion they came to was that we shouldn’t call it Halo.
And that point, I checked out and never listened to a word they said again.

Game designer Richard Garriott has confirmed he will soon regain the rights to the influential RPG series Ultima from Electronic Arts.
"It means I could re-release the earlier Ultimas, but it also means I could sequel them."

One of the only existing groves of American Chestnut trees is scheduled to be destroyed next month to make room for a datacenter. I made an entire video about what this tree meant and the efforts to bring it back that have lasted decades. Consumption knows nothing of sacrament.

I really want to like Halo 3 Reclaimer and I admire the effort, but using a buggy-ass MCC that still has gameplay bugs ain't it.
Desync, ass hitreg, ghost melees, fast/slow clock.
Not to mention the netcode doesn't work with so many people. These clips are all under 60 ping. 💀
