Yeah I once worked at a place where we used Slack, its kind of like Discord in its utility in having several channels for different stuff. Much better than Teams.

Help get the correct tags to the top, lads. Psychological Horror just needs a bit more.

I haven't seen anyone use Teams outside video meetings and cloud storage. Anything else is better for text-heavy collaboration.

According to polls, the most popular classes in Pillows 2 are respectively Cipher, Rogue and Paladin ( https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/99392-favorite-class/ ). Yet modern Obsidian decided to NOT include any of this 3 classes. Ranger is literally the second least popular class according to poll and is in Avoided. Without its iconic animal companion. Fighter also has not a single interesting ability.

I think it's common knowledge at this point that modern game devs loathe the people who buys and plays their games, so I imagine they saw the things that people liked and actively avoided them + only added the stuff that people didn't like. lol

archer is probably one of the most popular skyrim playstyles

They also have a particularly distaste for paladins, since they hate the implication of objective good, though they'll couch it as them being "boring."

Yes, but Rogues could be quite effective with bows, crossbows, pistols and arquebuses

A holy warrior of a order who smite evil demons, devils and undead. It was incredible popular in AD&D times.

I saw couple of videos on stealth archer build, looks like it is one of strongest if not the strongest build in a game, due to high range damage plus stealth damage multiplier. Never tried it myself.

It's because aiming in skyrim especially horrific. When enemies on the move you can miss your shots easily even they come straight at you. And once they reach you hitting them with melee weapons annoying aswell. Hard hitters like dragons, constructs can even dodge your carefully aimed shots due to stupid combat design so most people prefer stationary targets.

In other Obsidian news, they're going ahead with Outer Worlds 2.

The Outer Worlds didn't really push a message though, Tim and Leonard are still consistent with that way of doing things.

One of the first games I can think of where all the women were incredibly ugly on purpose and we had to pretend otherwise
I think ME Andromeda beat it by a bit, but it was one of the earlier ones

I have no idea how anyone could be interested in a sequel to a fart.
The only thing did Outer Worlds did well was reactivity, everything else was ****.

The women weren't exactly lookers in Fallout either.

They actually did make a pretty woman for the cinematic trailer for the last DLC.



In-game, well, they were limited by what hair and face options they had.

**** "romance".

Oh? Where was she hiding? Because this is not one.

[Roguey]

**** "romance".
Cartoonish anti capitlaism.

Those weren't explicit messages. Fallout also had **** sex and cartoonish anti-50s Americanisms.

America was the good guy in Fallout, hope that helps.

That is your interpretation, but that opening cutscene with the Canadian execution was not intended to be perceived as a great heroic act by the developers.

Fallout 4, just like Fallout 3 and Fallout 76, is non-canon.

"Good guys" who stole money on government contracts and put a defective part in the shelter door reporting that all is well, "lost" the replacement purification chip, fabricated criminal cases to provide bioweapons labs with test subjects. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was mentioned in the game that volunteers were lied to about what would actually be tested on them. "Good guys" who approve experiments which lead to death everybody in the vast majority of vaults. Good guys by americans standards.

In the original lore, most vaults survived.
Ignore the Vault-Tec experiments retcon ********.
