You aint lying, they fast and when they sting you- your vision gets all blurry, and if there's more than one, you're pretty much assed out. They're easily one of the fiercest enemies in the game.

Things are finally starting to get better. All the big AAA developers like Blizzard, Bethesda and EA have finally worn their welcome out with the general public and now good developers like Obsidian are finally getting the opportunity they deserve.
The future is uncertain but I think that the gaming demographic is growing up a bit. At this point, EA, Bethesda, Blizzard/Activision, Ubi - they are all like junkies resorting to all sorts of literal criminal behavior, lying and the shameful destruction of actual, passionate developers to get that money.
Dude.....so ONE stinker of a game lets Bethesda be compared to EA who has been doing it for years and destroying other companies?!?! Ummm not quite yet dude.
Cain and Boyarsky are an absolute joy to watch and listen to. They have a wealth of experience making games and you can tell these guys are having a lot of fun making this game-or at least hiding the crippling stress very well.
Well it's supposed to be a preview for a reason it comes out next year I'm fairly sure that's about as close as you're going to get on a date for release.because unlike a lot of gamers they make sure that their game is done and it changes like what they're talkin about right now can be made that's why they have the Q&A if someone wants something or doesn't like an idea then they'll consider it they can't promise anything but they'll consider it. But I do feel you on wanting to play it now.. it sucks having to wait so long.
Those people prefer to sell their companies for tons of money. They consult for a while and then the company is a corporate machine pushing out live services. But yes, I agree with you. You need someone, who cares on the top
Paul Hayes exactly Paul. You’re exactly right. I played both 2033 and Last Light. Exodus is more open. Think sandbox survival. While not open world, open enough. The level of detail they’ve created in the game is one of the best. This series is definitely the most immersive game I’ve played.
I like voiced protagonists myself. I couldn't imagine a silent character in games like mass effect. Not having one doesn't bother me too much for an obsidian game though. Brings back that old school vibe from rpgs of the past. So I guess I'm a little torn on the issue.
Yeah no promises but they'll consider it they must be in firm post-production right now this is when if you're going to make changes they need to really make them because it comes out next year.
I don't think he's joking you probably will get an art book.I seen that look before he usually gets his way on the show for the most part but Tim gets his way usually when it comes to stuff like that.
I love these hour long conversations that go in depth with the outerworlds. It's one of the few games that I feel genuinely excited for the lore/ mythos of the game
I liked it, but those problems that came from the rushed development really cut down the on my overall feelings for the game. Bad first impressions can really hurt.
@@BadgunmusicII That is completely understandable, but if you ever have the chance to play it on PC with the TSLRCM (The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod) then you definitely should. It restores A LOT of content that was completely/partially cut due to the rush. We're talking dialogue, missions, items, even an entire planet.
I might eventually. Got way too many games to play now as it is. I wanted to play it on the pc when it first came out but my pc either couldn’t handle it or the bugs were too bad. I couldn’t run cinematics when I first tried it and I had no idea what the hell was going on when I beat it.
Good job guys. This is one of my most anticipated games and this coverage gave me a great idea what to expect. Looking forward to doing multiple playthroughs (definitely including a dumb character)
I have just one request if I can after watching this great video Obsidian. Please, please make quest markers optional and add more info to the NPC or clues to find the location we need to go. Please, please...
MrGareth1973 I really loved the navigation in Morrowind, because it was difficult at first. What about you? Is that the kind of gameplay you’d hope to see in an RPG again? :)
I’ve probably watched this like 5-6 times, i think what i love about this interview is you can tell that Leonard and Tim are fans of video games, even more modern ones. Its so humanizing and genuine
i love these two guys. really looking foward to play this game. i know some of the answers will disappoint certain people, but if we support this game, they will hv more time and budget, so this IP will get better and better. I just hope this game is open for modding, so we can fill the blank they left behind due to time and budget......
Been playing borderlands 2 and I hope the dialogue and interactions are as clever and hilarious to listen to. Like the a.i radio trying to kill all humans with bad singing. So good.
I imagine it very much will be. Borderlands and Tim & Leonard's styles are quite similar, not to mention that this game looks to be on the Fallout 2 side of the dark comedy balance.
For some time now all my favorite games are coming from this studio. Can not wait for this game to be released. Really looking forward to getting my mitts on it.
I'm a little sad that there's only 2 armor slots, but the fact that they seem enthusiastic about weapon modification makes me happy, that is more important anyways since the game is 1st person only and has actual effect on the gameplay
Loved this open dialogue between the public, Game Informers, and the developers/directors. It makes me happy to see than Tim and Leonard don't seem to burdened by having to make a call like this. Can you imagine EA sitting down and being open? lol. I think it's the reason why I bought Overwatch, because Jeff Kaplan & Michael Chu demonstrated a commitment to the fanbase and indeed to their own game. Hopefully this type of lighthearted and transparent marketing and discussion is a industry standard moving forward.
Don't know if you'll ever see this, but you guys seem very classy. Hope outer worlds sells well so you guys can keep on making rpg gems. With obsidian, larian studios, CDPR, possibly a new fable, and a few other rpgs from Japan, RPG's are in a relatively healthy spot.
Well done guys. As someone who plays on all systems & PC it kind of bums me out a little that people who play only PlayStation won’t get to play any other games by Obsidian beyond The Outer Worlds.
Love this in depth coverage stuff, hope you guys can interview CD Project Red too via Skype or face to face! Would love to hear all the details about that game.
Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarski are such awesome guys!!! And really understand what people want in an rpg. This alone will make this game sell like friggin hotcakes!! EA, ACTIVISION, UBISOFT...YOU SHOULD BE TAKING FUCKING NOTES!! Edit: Leonard Boyarski: "hopefully people will mod it into the game (3rd person) MODS CONFIRMED!! Edit 2: just fyi, all the questions about being able to see your feet comes from the same crowd of people who wanted 3rd person instead of 1st. Because they need some straws to grasp onto in a first person game so they can still feel like they can see their character. Also because it is a little more immersive when in a first person game to look down and see your feet so your know your not just a floating camera with arms lol. Edit 3: Tim Cain is such a jolly guy. I bet if your sad he gives great hugs. :)
I would give a leg for another kotor game, but considering Disney is focused on making the most profits off of the Star Wars brand as possible, even if they let obsidian or honestly BioWare make a game like kotor 3 it would 100% be rushed and not live up to the hype. Sadly since Disney are a bunch of money hungry fiends there is very little chance for another epic Star Wars rpg, especially considering Disney stated they were happy with how EA has been handling the license, which baffles me considering they’ve released 2 games in 6 years and they both have been completely lackluster. Point I’m trying to get to is that disney only understands money and not the gaming community, same with ea, so they will put out garbage games to make a quick buck before ever taking 4-5 years to make that one amazing game that everyone has been asking for for so long.
I love the fact that this devs are so open and talkative about their game. I wish more devs did this so people would be a better idea of what kind of game they are getting
I'm going to buy this first bcoz it's amazing and second and more importantly that the developer are honest and straight forward no bullshitting the gamers. I hope amazing developers like these gentlemen reach big and hit big, they deserve it. Keep up the good work.
Awesome podcast... I'm even more interested in this game now, especially since Tim and others at the studio are huge Futurama fans. I'm also excited this game is releasing in 2019! Well, it's scheduled to, we'll see how that goes :)
I like the way leveling will work in this game, because if I change what type of character I want to be, I can use XP to level up those weak skills. For example, I suck at stealth in Fallout games, but I love playing stealth characters, so I use non stealth skills, then use that XP to level up my stealth so I can actually use it. It’s great.
This game is gonna drop before E3. I’m almost sure of it. The way they dodged that question about appearing at E3, then immediately stalled on the next question when they were asked about a specific release date. Sounds like they’re putting on the final touches, and unless some unforeseen catastrophe happens, I bet we’re looking at a surprise release in May. Bet there’s an announcement real soon.
True. I don’t remember them specifying how far along they were in VO though. If they were gonna release it after E3 it would make no sense for them to be unsure whether they’d appear. That would be huge publicity for the game. I don’t see how they would miss that opportunity and release it a couple months later.
God, if they pulled a sneaky on us and announced the release date 1-2 months before release, especially if it is in May as it is my birthday, I would be ecstatic. I think that it will be further off though, sadly.
Something I was thinking is what if they did an actual E3 release? That would be huge publicity, and explain the awkwardness of their answers to those questions at the end of the video.
So far this is one of my most anticipated games of 2019. I throughly enjoyed New Vegas and the guys who made that making an original IP has me really hyped
i think to fix the melee only build issue you can just have a skill when upon a charge/heavy attack you boost forward a certain distance and when come incontact with some thing you hit it
The amount of earnestness and transparency is unprecedented and awesome. These two are now my favorite developers.
Only now?!

I would give a leg for another kotor game, but considering Disney is focused on making the most profits off of the Star Wars brand as possible, even if they let obsidian or honestly BioWare make a game like kotor 3 it would 100% be rushed and not live up to the hype. Sadly since Disney are a bunch of money hungry fiends there is very little chance for another epic Star Wars rpg, especially considering Disney stated they were happy with how EA has been handling the license, which baffles me considering they’ve released 2 games in 6 years and they both have been completely lackluster. Point I’m trying to get to is that disney only understands money and not the gaming community, same with ea, so they will put out garbage games to make a quick buck before ever taking 4-5 years to make that one amazing game that everyone has been asking for for so long.
I love the fact that this devs are so open and talkative about their game. I wish more devs did this so people would be a better idea of what kind of game they are getting
I'm going to buy this first bcoz it's amazing and second and more importantly that the developer are honest and straight forward no bullshitting the gamers. I hope amazing developers like these gentlemen reach big and hit big, they deserve it. Keep up the good work.
one of my favorite things about kotor is the random banter between companions, i'm very happy to hear that's in the outer worlds
This coverage has got me super interested in this game! :D
Much like you I'm very excited about getting the game and playing the game.
Looks like I'm going to be waiting another year to play it because the bastards have signed the game over to the Epic Games Store
Well done, both sides. Looking forward to the game
Great video! Thank you!
Awesome podcast... I'm even more interested in this game now, especially since Tim and others at the studio are huge Futurama fans. I'm also excited this game is releasing in 2019! Well, it's scheduled to, we'll see how that goes :)
I like the idea of a level cap because it forces you to have a character with strengths and weaknesses. That way, every character you have is unique.
The most lingering question, when is it out? :D
usedfuzzbox rumors say in the summer
2019
somewhere around... this year
The 8th of August, 2019
@Ryan Jang Really? Omgomgomg
Fantastic coverage game informer. Hope next month's game is as interesting as the outer worlds was.
I like the way leveling will work in this game, because if I change what type of character I want to be, I can use XP to level up those weak skills. For example, I suck at stealth in Fallout games, but I love playing stealth characters, so I use non stealth skills, then use that XP to level up my stealth so I can actually use it. It’s great.
Supernova difficultly is gonna be sick!!! NV did survival mode so well
The king of RPG has returned
I wish Bioware would return as the king of RPGs too :'/
Okay, modders get to work on making “shit lizards” into the English version.
This game is gonna drop before E3. I’m almost sure of it. The way they dodged that question about appearing at E3, then immediately stalled on the next question when they were asked about a specific release date. Sounds like they’re putting on the final touches, and unless some unforeseen catastrophe happens, I bet we’re looking at a surprise release in May. Bet there’s an announcement real soon.
Davey Jonez they still have to do voice over so idk
True. I don’t remember them specifying how far along they were in VO though.
If they were gonna release it after E3 it would make no sense for them to be unsure whether they’d appear. That would be huge publicity for the game. I don’t see how they would miss that opportunity and release it a couple months later.
God, if they pulled a sneaky on us and announced the release date 1-2 months before release, especially if it is in May as it is my birthday, I would be ecstatic. I think that it will be further off though, sadly.
Something I was thinking is what if they did an actual E3 release? That would be huge publicity, and explain the awkwardness of their answers to those questions at the end of the video.
Davey Jonez Well On the steam page where the only people with access are the developers leaked a release date of August. So that’s a safe bet.
So far this is one of my most anticipated games of 2019. I throughly enjoyed New Vegas and the guys who made that making an original IP has me really hyped
Can't wait to finish the second half of this
i think to fix the melee only build issue you can just have a skill when upon a charge/heavy attack you boost forward a certain distance and when come incontact with some thing you hit it
Obsidian is doing the game right, not making it huge and feature everything, making it feature a good amount of select and polish content and features
Does anyone knows where to find that redddit threat mencioned in the video?

Okay, for that initials joke about "no" you get a pat on the back. That aside you've just got a new sub, solid work on this game.
If PR in the gaming industry amounted to nothing more than these long form interviews, I'd be totally okay with that.
Looking forward to this game!
Is the intro music part of The Outer Worlds soundtrack or something GI found? Sick little track.
