Ahhh yes. First a clearly vapo-shovelware 'holy shit someone actually named their product Black Geyser" "holy shit someone literally copypasted Pillars of Eternity UI entirely" "holy shit Dwarf CRUSHMASTER" - and now, over time, a significant minority of Codexers desperately convince themselves that perhaps this will be a REAL RPG can't be worse than pillows haha amirite

Just like that other wonderful game skeptics were skeptical about what was it sword coast something? Ah yes great times worked out real well there
You need to be under the effects of very strong drugs to convince yourself that this game will be even remotely playable.

The fact that half the readers thought that post was an endorsement of black geyser might explain a few things, yes

Dunno- the game is pretty, but then again POE1 also was.

What I fear the most is the combat mechanics. I'm sure they, being who they are (chads from old Austro-Hungary), can pull a nice enough story. The combat is more difficult to fix with that limited budget.

But anyway, these bums can probably get closer to the formula than Obsidian's rich cucks. Vienna is so different from California.

Unfortunately I think that they'll try to cover up the game's misgivings with some interesting story, which isn't bad.

But I'm certainly not expecting that they reinvent the wheel. It will probably be an RPG campaign through and through. And yes, everything should be closer to original BG. The mystery, the tension, when everything was new and wasn't covered by Gamebanshee.

I mean, they can always make their own BG2 in the future provided that this game succeeds.

Make the Codex Great Again! Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. I helped put crap in Monomyth

The only "combat mechanic" you need is C R U S H M A S T E R

I don't think 100,000 dollars is enough for this kind of game to be made. Maybe I am wrong. Atom team were still able to make a competent game with only 30,000$. So who knows maybe they will pull through but this will probably be very buggy on release.

Your game can't be very buggy on release if it's never coming out :smug:
