In other news, Obsidian announces new Steampunk IP blending elements of Fallout and Arcanum! Chris Avellone and newly-hired Tim Cain are expected to lead the project.
Oh, I can dream.

Alright, but I hope you're not thinking my plea to the moderators is some sort of extreme reaction! I've felt pushed out of gaming site after gaming site by this kind of behavior and I'm getting very tired of it. The fear that this site may get overrun by bigotry is quite valid. My point about the codex was an indicator that it has happened elsewhere- that means it could happen here. Vigilance and all that.
I doubt it is well on its way when a lot of senior developers leave. Maybe they overreached. An older talk hinted at Tim Cain working on an end-game questing system.
Atleast the lead designer (Tim), lead musician (Valve), lead artist (Disney) left this summer. Though they did hire Tim's better half (if shaky rumors are to be believed).Did a lot of senior developers leave? Because aside from Tim Cain I haven't heard of anyone else, but I haven't been following WildStar's development closely.

Tim Cain + Chris Avellone + Onyx Engine + Planescape setting = ??
I remember Feargus in an interview posted on the 'Watch earlier this year talking about some of their older IPs like Icewind Dale and how much they'd possibly like to revisit them and perhaps do a sequel. *Tries to connect the dots*
Even NMA has expressed the hope of possibly seeing Tim reunited with the Fallout IP in some shape or form. Now wouldn't that be something?
I really could care less about Tim Cain and Obsidian, but regarding bigotry, outright deleting or banning folks seems perfectly reasonable to me. What if I started posting on your site about how I hate goddamned niggers? Or calling people kike, spic, etc.? Bigotry is bigotry and should be rejected.
Heh. I'm not sure Cain is the answer. I've really enjoyed many of the games he's worked on, some of my favorites of all time in fact. But even those favorites were awful bug ridden messes. I wonder if Obsidian's bugs & Cain's bugs will cancel each other out or prevent them from ever publishing something ever again.
I'm kidding of course, mostly.
Still, best of luck to Cain and Obsidian.
