    Thankfully Fargo and inXile don't want to make shitty action romance simulators. They want to make cRPG's. Jokes on the BSN tards. :smug:

    It seems that Torment has broken Kickstarter. It must have changed its nature. :eek:

    I think it's slowly getting back up now but maybe it'd help if we all stop refreshing the page, haha.

    Pretty close to $1.8M now.

    The thing that bothers me is that allot of shit will be discussed with backers. As if their drooling epic hero, love boat and real time shit input is needed at all...

    I can't wait for the massive butthurt when they realize they've been deceived (by their own retardness of course but that won't keep them from bitching)

    Like Obsidian (and old BIS) the developers know what good feedback to take into account and what shit to ignore. But ultimately they know the kind of game they do want to make, and follow that.

    Well this is one of the songs inspired me to become a composer and write music for film. Is that a bad thing?

    I disagree that Neal Stephenson would be "more likely to agree because he is already messing around with video game stuff". I would say that that makes him less likely to get involved in another project, now that he already has his own project to work on.

    I think that writers with at least some experience writing about transhumanism/posthumanism would fit the bill best. Given that Neal Stephenson is already busy doing his own thing, the rest of the Tier 1 candidates, IMHO, would be (in alphabetical order):
    Alastair Reynolds
    Charles Stross
    Cory Doctorow
    David Brin
    Greg Bear
    Greg Egan
    Gregory Benford
    Iain M. Banks
    Stephen Baxter

    They are not going to hire a writer other than former PST people (and of course ZIETS!). So get over it.

    ZIETS!

    What about Yudkowsky? He could use some dough to save us from Robo Jesus.

    She was a notable character in the sixth book, don't recall if she appeared in others prior.

    She was from the sixth book and up. But it was not written in a silly way. She was just sexy and every soldier near her looked at her body. She wasn't involved in RUMANSES with anybody and it was played more for laughs.

    The Bonehunters, the 6th book in the series. Like you said, though, the general point still stands.

    Edit: damn I'm slow, ninja-ed twice! :D
