Possible Obsidian Pathfinder RPG Survey

[mitochondritom]

I put "Malazan: Book of the Fallen" and "William Gibson Novels" as my unused settings answer. Neither are likely to happen, but what ever. As others noted I thought it was really weird how it went on a massive Pathfinder segway towards the end. I really struggled with some of the questions like which of these two art styles is more "cool", what a load of shit. I prefer "Early" but I am not sure I can articulate why. I also laughed when I put that I barely knew anything about Pathfinder and then it asks me which of this list of 10 Pathfinder related titles I would want to see adapted to a video game, great job guys I am positive you will get some useful data from that series of questions. Like I am aware of Pathfinder because I played a PnP game a few years ago, but that doesn't predispose me to knowing every bit of released tat.

Thinking about it I should have Googled to see if Pathfinder has a Planescape ripoff and then mentioned it as many times as possible...

 

[yes plz]

My mind went completely blank on the 'what franchise/setting/world would you like to see' question and so typed in the first thing that eventually came to mind: the Dirty Dozen.

Fulfilled my patriotic duty and voted for turn-based. Also mentioned that the PoE's Stronghold mechanic is complete shit, and writing is also shit, albeit I did it diplomatically. Also, somebody who played Pathfinder - what's the deal with that Earlier Pathfinder - Later Pathfinder or somesuch? The artwork was nearly identical, was it from different editions or something?
Oh, and wtf was the last isomeric screenshots? They were so fucking tiny that I deciphered only the first group and some of the second.

Also for some reason I answered the question "what setting would you like to see" not only with the usual oWoD, Dark Sun, Planescape, but I remembered Emperor of the Fading Suns, now that was an interesting setting.

This feels kind of superfluous.

"I play games because I like to complete quests and earn achievements " - I don't really get why they are lumping these two things together.

EDIT: Maybe it's a "completionist" thing?

most assuredly

most assuredly

I think they are pretty different though. I definitely want to complete my quest log but can't be assed to even look at the achievement menu.

The Pathfinder art-style questions are completely baffling to me. Is either meant to be good?

Yeah, it's probably a question for fans, because I'm not familiar with Pathfinder - and for me it's worse than 3rd edition D&D PHB. And boy, did it have its share of shitty art.
I mean, what the fuck.

30 minutes of my precious time again. This Pathfinder game better be good, yo.

Did anyone even notice a change compared to the first survey? I didn't.

I only noticed the lack of free-form answer boxer in the later part, concerning PoE. Although this time I hadn't chosen the Keep as a bad part of PoE (and it definitely had free-form answer box), I remember that the first survey had those boxes in which you can describe why are you unsatisfied with the writing. Other than that - I got nothing, save that the style and graphics questions are still hilarious and Warhammer as a setting is about saving the world for some reason.

Yet another D&D style high fantasy romp from Obsidian...? Blech, what a fucking waste.

 

[SausageInYourFace]

At least they are apparently considering to make it turn based.

It's evergreen.

If you want something slightly different, there's Tyranny.

Hopefully they don't.

Yeah, I'd very much prefer something completely different.

Hopefully, that won't prevent them from exploring other settings as well.
After all, they have at least three working teams aside from the Armored Warfare one, also Sawyer has already said he wants to make a historical game after his current project (PoE2) and Boyarsky and Cain are working on some secret project that should not be set in another high fantasy world considering who's in charge. The Tyranny team will soon be available for other projects, as the game is to be released in less than two weeks now, but maybe they could work on something else and an eventual Pathfinder RPG could be developed by the card game team with the addiction of other members from some other teams.
