Anyone familiar with Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul? (OOO)

Well apparently that mod maker was hired by Obsidian and apparently he helped make New Vegas. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Jorge_Salgado are http://www.formspring.me/JESawyer/q/348194633261540820

Dunno, just found it kinda cool to see a company paying attention to good modders and offering them work. Kinda shows they care I guess. :D

It's old news. It was "news" at the early stages of New Vegas developement. Cool though, that they hired him. Oscuro did wonders to Oblivion (even though the game was generally unsalvageable and his work only give it a bit longer lifespan - imo).

Happened with other companies as well. Supreme Commander AI modder was hired to work on the sequel. Battlefield Desert Combat modders were hired for Battlefield 2. etc.

Tbh if your opinion was right then the modder wouldn't be where he is now,not hating just stating.I just detect some sort of bitterness.

It is right enough for me -- Oscuro did really good job, even if the game itself (as a whole) was not so supportive of such big changes he introduced (to me, OOO gave nothing more than more enemygrind and looting - which was fun for a while, but the crux of the game didn't really change, nor do I think it was even supposed to, so it all wore down pretty fast regardless).

I don't know how there can be bitterness in honesty over a game I have no interest over -- unless critical words to elaborate my stance (even if generally unneededly put out) are to be considered bitterness.
