New Vegas developers
I've seen that you removed some people from the list of New Vegas developers, like Darren L. Monahan and Fryda Wolff. Can you tell me why? I can see that Fryda no longer works at Obsidian, but according to her website she did work on New Vegas before she did. Ausir(talk) 22:27, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Again, are you sure Monahan and Chris Parker are not working on FNV? Any such edits done without any explanation will be reverted, given that you have been wrong before. Ausir(talk) 13:43, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * How do you know that Darren Monahan and Chris Parker are working on F:NV? I think Parker and Monahan are only two executive producers at Obsidian, so only one of two can be the EP on F:NV and the other an EP on an unannounced project. Yes, It is possible Monahan is the EP on F:NV because he played the same role on Aliens RPG as J.E sawyer did the same role (Project Director/Lead Designer) on both projects, but Chris Parker is(was?) the EP on Alpha Protocol. I don't think only two EPs at the studios are playing the same part on one project. (Yes, it is possible Parker is working as the EP on an unannounced project, doing an additional production part for F:NV. Please let me know if you have any source about this news.

 * I don't, I'm just asking why you removed them. It's generally advised not to remove information without explanation, since it can be seen as vandalism. You're probably right though, currently we don't know which one of them is the EP. Ausir(talk) 14:52, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * another issue: Lead Creative Designer or Creative Lead is more important than Senior Designer. Obsidian's Creative Lead is like Lead Narrative Designer or Lead Writer at other game development studios. For example, Chris Avellone was just a senior designer on NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer, writing dialogue for only two characters. MotB's Creative Lead George Ziets wrote the main story and all archetypes for all the characters, including two characters whose dialogue Avellone wrote. So I think John Gonzalez is currently writing the main story and main characters for F:NV. Funcroc 14:33, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, although it's a bit complicated since Avellone is also Obsidian's creative director, and thus he's both above and below Sawyer and Gonzalez at the same time. Ausir(talk) 14:51, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Creative Director at Obsidian is Studios Creative Director for the whole studios, not for one project. He was never credited as Creative Director for one game and he as senior designer cannot be above creative lead . Funcroc 15:01, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * He is credited as creative director in Obsidian games' credits. But yes, as a designer he should be below Gonzalez. Ausir(talk) 15:11, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * "that" creative director means STUDIOS CREATIVE DIRECTOR just like Urquhart is credited as (STUDIOS) CEO / PRESIDENT in all Obsidian's projects. Funcroc 15:33, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * and another issue: Chief Development Officer or CDO is not for only one project at Obsidian but for the whole company, just like CEO, CFO, CTO, CCO, etc. Chris Parker is Executive Producer on a project (KotOR2 and Alpha Protocol) and he is Studios CDO for Obsidian Entertainment, not for just one project (F:NV). Funcroc 14:48, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but he's likely to be credited as such in the game's credits as well - he was for NWN2. Ausir(talk) 14:51, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/neverwinter-nights-2/credits "President - Feargus Urquhart" So, Urquhart was president for NWN2 and will be CEO/President for F:NV? I don't think so. Funcroc 15:23, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
