Game News Obsidian Reveals 'Project Eternity' - Kickstarter Live

[Art Vandelay]

Just say NO!!!

 

[Vault Dweller]

It will obviously easily pass the goal, question is what stretch goals will be reached as well. The usuals of different OS like Mac and Linux (don't care either way) as well as languages (don't care either, fuck if I want to play the game translated/raped into German) are a given I guess.

Apart from that I can't quite say what I'd really like to see (not "make it not buggy as fuck" which Obsidian couldn't deliver anyway :trolllolo:. Maybe just "more non-mandatory side quests"?

"We’ve also designed the game to have a flexible budget and scope, so if we reach our target budget goal, we have a list great stuff we can add into the mix through stretch goals. And, additional money we raise will go straight into the game to add new levels, companions, NPCs, features, and even entirely new parts of the world which will add hours and hours to the adventure."

New parts of the world sounds pretty cool.

I will ask on the forums if they would consider adding more taverns.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Do we really need MOAR taverns? A proper Codex building should be a house of ill repute.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

Screw taverns, ask if they would consider adding a clan of tranny trolls living in a sewer that wear fancy top hats and constantly bicker about "the decline".

 

[Killzig]

Omega Covenant: The Skulduggery RPG

Where is the kickstarter for this?

Fixed it.
Makes sense since they are living in a sewer cesspool.

 

[Mortmal]

So thats set, an underground brothel of tranny trolls, accessible by the sewers . I dont think we should have to pay for it, after all the free advertisements we are giving them, spreading words to friends and such, our obsidian bros could do it pro bono .

 

[Freelance Henchman]

If there's a romance option at all, it should be with one of the ("male" or "female") trolls.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Do we really need MOAR taverns? A proper Codex building should be a house of ill repute.

Alternatively, we could pledge 10k and delegate Prosper to play a game of Call of Cthulhu with MCA, Sawyer and Cain.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

I'd rather have those dudes left with a few SAN points so they can make more games.

They love money and know that you can make money by filling the old-school hole but I'm alright with that: I'll give them money even if I'm not sure that their reasons are pure (never forget that I'm a musician and work with major label companies: I know all this shit). Fuck purity, bring on the tainted old-school crack.

PS: Let us fucking dream and say PS:T, IWD in your marketing stances. NEVER EVER bring GTA or Sim City in your bullshit: you'll lose everything.

"you know, this kickstarter thing has reached a stagnation point, and..."

WA-BAM! Almost all of the million dollars in a day.
So, Wasteland 2 or project eternity, what creams your pants more & why? Discuss!



On a semi-related note, I would personally prefer an Arcanum 2 to Dead State for a Kickstarter, but...

Other seriousness: this kickstarter page is a bit more dry than the other big projects. I think that's good.
Aside from the gratuitous box shots of glories accosted to their more debatable titles, they say "It's a new-ish
mashup of your favourite Infinity Engine games", and little else. And I hope that's exactly that.

If the good games were few, why revonating? Is it indispensable?

Well, from the concept art on the video, the game does have weapons. Maybe it will have engines and steam and punkú too.
That doesn't make it Arcanum.
But I'm glad Tim will be working on it and adding his bits.

I'm expecting for them to milk through the hype with updates, if they're wise.
That's the way KS works anyway.

It's like if I created a band called The Brian Fargo Wasteland Experience and said: "Mate, we're like Revolver, Exile on main Street, White light/White heat and In a silent way" and then "Yo it's turning great, it sounds like Beyonce and Lady Gaga!".

Fucking greedy critters. At first they're sincerely trying and then they see the great huge pie and become gremlins.

 

[Smarts]

They might be going pretty heavy on the ethical philosophy in this one, even more so than usual.

"One good life. One extraordinary life. What levy must be paid for such a thing?

If the gods won't answer, it's for us to decide.

That's some existentialist shit right there in the 'box quote'. Might need to break out my copy of Ethics for Dummies again.

 

[Serious_Business]

I don't know about this thread, but 1mil in a day, that is definitively the nuts

 

[Gozma]

You can totally avoid romances in Torment (if you call that kiss a romance).

Honestly I always just happened upon that as a result of mining companion conversation for XP. Knowing the people making the game I'd wager this type of thing will be included but likely incidental and nowhere near as derpy and juvenile as Bioware's sad implementation.

My favorite interpretation of the Annah romance is that you are reiterating the Pragmatic Incarnation's use of Deionarra for his own ends by using Annah to get mechanical XP boosts and thief skill bonuses.

Never forget that you're one of the greatest posters on this board and that you mean SERIOUS BUSINESS. It's natural for you to cut through this crapz for its nutz.

Pretty sure that's Kickstarter-RPG-as-mythos. As in one extraordinary life is worth $65 to me for a boxed copy, get it
