    Getting another quality blobber would be great, but after reading what Fargo's said about it (and keeping in mind the mediocrity of Wasteland 2) I'm doubting this will become one :negative:.

    Also remember Fargo created all the games Interplay published:

    Btw, some press using images from comedic The Bard's Tale for their coverage. Some people are really exciting to see a sequel to that. :M

    Heineman's taken a couple of hours to go from pretend-joking to passive-aggressive to direct... this has some drama potential.

    It is going to be interesting watching how this plays out. Fargo better throw her a bone before the SJWs hear about this.

    Prob nothing in them though, seeing as how she's a flat-chested dyke.

    She can be the 100 million stretch goal.

    It's not going to be card based combat. Are you people that dense?

    If somehow I end up being wrong I trust Infinitron will delete this post and hide the evidence against me.

    I'd prefer if they innovated it by making it isometric and not a blobber, as opposed to taking inspiration from Hearthstone of all things. Can't complain though, if the game's trying to get that old school Bard's tale feel it clearly isn't aimed at me.

    Card based combat doesn't necessarily mean you use cards in combat. It could be a traditional interface where the cards are drawn and played behind the scenes and only show up in the combat log, like how you don't actually roll a die in D&D-based games.

    Clearly it isn't. It's marketed towards actual old school gamers not poser tweenagers who weren't even born when the original trilogy came out.

    @Mecandes I'm more surprised that @OldeSkuul wasn't approached already, after all, look at who we are! :)

    Indeed, your studio has you that only worked on the third installment, and you pitched a four entry of the franchise to EA being this an action RPG. I'm scratching my head to try to comprehend why the guy that now owns the IP and was responsible for the entire franchise, with his own team of veterans and new developers, hasn't aproached to a bunch of nobodies that feel entitled because you've made a shitty prototype for a non released game.

    Don't lose hope, though! I'm shure if you keep this type of speech a lot of SJW will demand for her to be stretch goal, and if not, Fargo is a fucking misogynyst and the game will represent the opression of the patriarchy.

    Go fuck yourselves.


    In times like this I would like to have a twitter account.
