No its not. If theres even a single good entry it will be a miracle.

 

[Shannow]

Just give Sensuki the game. If OE is unwilling to pay him, at least we should honor his effort.

 

[Infinitron]

Just give Sensuki the game. If OE is unwilling to pay him, at least we should honor his effort.

He has like 3 or 4 copies of it already

 

[Sensuki]

I won't be entering - I've got at least 2 digital copies and a physical disc. Good luck to the winner. I wanna read some good stories about this [popcorn.gif]

But does he have all the collector's shit? No, didn't think so
Ignore his denials. He's just being modest.

EDIT: How is he to finish the game without a strategy Guide?!?

 

[Villagkouras]

Count me in and if I win it, I'll use it for my country to pay its debt.

 

[Gruia]

not interested

 

[Copper]

You have to be able to at least beat the story from the introduction to The Riddle of Steel, in which our gallant hero realises that he can continue to fight a horde of orcs for the next 3-4 sessions, or just jump off a 100+ foot cliff and walk away from the whole mess.

 

[Infinitron]

But does he have all the collector's shit?

Probably. How many hundred dollars did you pledge to this again, Sensuki? The Royal Edition isn't that expensive: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71253-tiers-to-skus/

You do notice that this isn't just a raffle, right:

[Vault Dweller]

I backed the game so I don't need a copy, but I'd like to submit a pitch for the next Obsidian game as an alternative. If I win, I'll give the key to Sensuki or an equally worthy individual.

Project Infinity Plus One
By Obsidian Entertainment​

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. Since the Black Isle days we paid homage (or made sequels when the fortune smiled upon us) to the great Bioware games of years past, recapturing their magic, imagination, and depth and distilling them for a more demanding audience.

Our latest title is already being heralded as Baldur's Gate of 2015 and while we're already hard at work on Baldur's Gate 2 of 2018, we want to bring back yet another long forgotten classic.

Project Infinity Plus One (working title) aims to recapture the space magic and sexual escapades of Commander Shepard... and that’s why we’re here - we need your help to make it a reality!

Project Infinity Plus One will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Mass Effect, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Dungeon Siege, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of South Park.

Combat uses a tactical real-time with pause system - equipping your party members with weapons is one of the keys to success. The space map is dotted with unique planets and asteroids ripe for exploration and questing. You’ll play the role of a great hero - Commander Sephard and collect companions along the way – taking him or her not just through this story, but, with your continued support, through future adventures. You will engage in dialogues that are deep, and offer many choices to determine the fate of you and your party. …and you'll experience a story that explores mature themes and presents you with complex, difficult choices to shape how your story plays out.

We are excited at this chance to create something new, yet reminiscent of those great games and we want you to be a part of it as well.

I don't really know a thing about AD&D but here is a simple haiku so I don't feel like I completely passed on chance to win free stuff.

rules confuse the eyes
an interesting char dies
others must be spared

Edit:
playing with words is actually kinda fun so here is an alternative version of the haiku

a real fun character dies

You sound bitter.

MRY THIS IS YOUR CALLING

Can't be more excited about PoE. As far as I'm concerned, there is only one studio left that knows how to make role-playing games and that's Obsidian.

 

[Infinitron]

Where's that guy who wrote the Cleve stories?

 

[Jaedar]

I'm sure Alex has something to contribute.

You an Inxile arent friends anymore? The awesome wasteland 2, remember?

There goes that twiter mention of AoD you were hoping for.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I genuinely enjoyed WL2, which is why I agreed to write a review in the first place. I also enjoyed MMX and LoG2 and would have praised them if I had time to review them (especially LoG2). However, when it comes to a certain quality of RPG, only Obsidian is uniquely qualified to deliver. Torment 2 might change that but it still remains to be seen.

If I wanted a twit from Fargo (or anyone else), I would have asked.

 

[Raapys]

Meh, I've lots of respect for some of the individual developers at Obsidian, but as a company they still have a lot to prove even if they are uniquely qualified.

 

[Jaesun]

They are the only Developer out there that puts actual cRPG mechanics in their games. What else do you need?

I've no idea what that statement means, and I also suspect it's false regardless of how you end up defining it.
