Codex 2014 PC RPG Website of the Year, 2015 Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Insert Title Here RPG Wokedex Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity Torment: Tides of Numenera Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 BattleTech A Beautifully Desolate Campaign My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Obsidian Entertainment and our legendary game designers Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, and Josh Sawyer are excited to bring you a new role-playing game for the PC. Project Eternity (working title) pays homage to the great Infinity Engine games of years past: Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment.

Project Eternity aims to recapture the magic, imagination, depth, and nostalgia of classic RPG's that we enjoyed making - and playing. At Obsidian, we have the people responsible for many of those classic games and we want to bring those games back… and that’s why we’re here - we need your help to make it a reality!

Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur’s Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.

Why are there so many of my country here?
This threads needs honesty to be fun, so that's precisely what I'll do.

"Stats are a racket."

You are expected to put points into something you have no idea about, and most of the time are a waste.
You need a few playthroughs or looking up a guide to have any idea what you are doing but that's completely pointless since you exhaust all the content in just one.
And even if you did seeing how many "dump stats" are, that are completely pointless, you would understand the failure of the system in the first place, and leave a bad taste in your mouth.

While the ideal of PnP RPGs able to create any character is noble, it just doesn't work in computer RPGs.
Stick to classes at the start that developers explicitly designed around.

This is literally the worst Obsidian game I’ve played to date. That’s right, I even had more fun with Dungeon Siege 3 - at least it was a fun beat ‘em up, as opposed to this lifeless, uninspired husk. Disappointment, thy name is Pillars of Eternity.

After being unable to secure funding for future projects, Troika Games was forced to lay off their staff in late 2004 and later close their doors on February 24, 2005.
