    i want it all, i want it all... :8

    undead race + homestead hall of echoes + better (so they say) modding support?

    am too old to get this excited for gaemz ffs.. :bounce::bounce::bounce:

    To those more proficient with Kickstarter, how likely does that 1,500,000 seem to be?

    Hall of Echo's as a home base? Mehhh..

    Hall of Echo's as a plot device that allows you to speak to people and villians you've already beaten.. Interesting....
    Sort of like that NWN module Witches Wake where spirits you found or defeated would be trapped in the fugue plane.. I think?

    VERY INTERDASTING.. :bounce:

    It's currently on track to easily pass 2,000,000, so pretty likely, I'd say.

    Polymorpher is actually the most interesting one, the rest have been overdone before.

    What do you need those for again? DOS is not a "muh immersion" kind of game, everything is frozen in time.

    Not terribly excited by these stretch goals, although undead race is OK

    Also, lol at Sven hyper spazzing like a loon in that second vid. Methinks some recreational pharmaceuticals are in play right there. It might be just caffeine though, a good overdose of that will do that to you.

    Another observation, the decline or maybe even ITZ apparently already hit the good ol US of A, how hard can it be to get/buy a functioning laptop.

    And what about that mca stretchgoal sven.

    DC:SS, ToME, Pillars of Eternity, most D&D games with druids. It's been old hat for years.

    Legit point. They probably needed every day for the protoype not to launch it a week before.

    Best Buy. Ugh. If you're shopping for PCs at a physical store, you've already failed.

    The Undead Origins goal sounds pretty cool.

    Maybe they're meeting him in Seattle to have a grand unveiling in front of the assembled press.

    There's a watch campaign as well?? Perhaps we could make it interesting.

    MCA, meh. Not sure his writing style would fit with Larian's day-glo world. Perhaps he could join the Codex staff if he's really at a loose end.

    Polymorpher and Bard, based on their description sound the most interesting. Alchemist could be great if they moved away from "let's turn sorcerer spells into potions", and gave it esoteric or unique qualities.

    MCA is worth more than a measly 1.5 million dollars. :obviously:

    Here's the Watch proposal:

    Ours hasn't been officially announced yet, since we're waiting for confirmation that Larian is actually willing to do the sick things that we want them to do.

    Any word on making a living world like Ultima? Sven always quotes Black Gate as a big inspiration, and you can see that in first Div Div, but OS never got NPC schedules and day/night cycle that was promised in Kickstarter, has he said owt about whether they're in 2?

    I was wondering why it was so quiet. Still, it didn't stop me contributing. I'll already have about three copies of the game - I just need more potato. Swen's a bro - I'm sure he'll bend over backwards for the Codex.

    This is not a druid, druid can become a full animal, this one self-buffs with animal parts. One of the D&D 3.0 druid prestige classes called Shifter (removed in 3.5 because it was OP af) is the closest example I can think of.
