    :roll: Jaesun is trolling you (not necessarily deliberately)

    Bottom line, we don't know yet if there will be cooldowns or not.

    But like I said, they are NOT going to rule out cooldowns, so if that bothers you, remove your pledge.

    Why? They have give assurances it will be like BG2/IWD. We still don't know shit about Wasteland 2.

    THE ENTIRE POINT of a KS pledge is based off the promises made on the KS site, do you feel Obsidian can deliver such a product? I say yes. I'm backing them here and I am backing the KS site. That assurance from Sawyer is good enough for me (combat similar to IE). If it isn't to you, then don't pledge. Or keep following for more info.

    We know as much about W2 combat as we do about P:E.

    It's going to be like JA2 and Fallout:Tactics.

    You guys need to control every character separately? What are you, too stupid and dumb to do that in real time?

    Guys I just read Sawyer may have at one point considered cooldowns in this game. I call all of you to withdraw your pledge.

    Cut it out.

    This is still not a valid defense of PE.

    Someone hand me a toaster. ;)


    It probably warrants repeating though that kickstarter is a donation system, not a preorder system. If you don't have faith in a developer I don't think anything they say will change your mind.

    You can still wait till it comes out and buy the game based on reviews or opinions just like any other game. You just donate to a) help the game get off the ground and gain features b) get a warm fuzzy feeling and c) possibly nab some bonus as incentive to donate.

    Explain me this, then (from the RPS Interview with MCA):

    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/10/05/obsidian-on-project-eternity-old-school-innovation/

    Uh-oh. Individual developers voicing conflicting preferences.

    Lesson learned: individual preferences not given in an official statement specifically related to the game don't mean shit. Eg: Darklands is Sawyer's favourite RPG so if asked about his favourite RPG in an interview about PE, he would naturally mention Darklands. And Darklands is skill-based. But PE is not. So, if we didn't already know that PE is not skill-based, were we to assume that PE would also be skill based? BA-DUM-TSSSS!

    And in this context, Feargus speaking of game features in regard to PE is far more relevant than any isolated piece of personal opinion anyone at Obsidian might give.

    So stop being stupid.

    I wouldn't call myself clever but in this case, I'm certainly not as retarded as you stupid cocksuckers and race traitors.

    You really think Feargus is going to have more impact on the systems than Sawyer? Why the fuck would he pull rank on that kind of shit? He's too busy making deals and having meetings to keep the rest of Obsidian employed to go knocking on Sawyer's office door and say "now Josh, we really need cooldowns in this motherfucker. I want it to play like WoW and Baldur's Gate had a fucking love-child."

    Yeah, nice try.

    Sawyer never actually said that. What's more, Sawyer said several times during and after F:NV's development that he didn't like the Karma function. One of the main reasons Karma stuff was close to none interest attended to and the faction system was so prominently brought back.


    The only lesson learned here is that RPS is an even bigger shithole than anyone can imagine.
