You either nerf it by putting an arbitrary cap on the number like some Josh Sawyer or just accept it as something you should be able to do (what the new BG guys did).

...or you acknowledge that summons require upkeep and control. Poof, there goes your mana.

What do you guys think about the fast travel thing? I feel like more people are going to get into games like these with such improvements but this feels like a solution that takes away from the feeling/soul of such games.

I wish I could have fast travelled to Caius Cosades :dealwithit:

I hated the running speed option in Pillars 1, very immersion breaking. Mostly neutral about this. Black Geyser doesn't have very interesting exploration anyway, and it's not an open world sandboxy walking simulator, so nothing is lost and very little gained by this IMO.

Never understood if Black Geyser meme meant black gay porn or just white geyser from black cock.

LOL (dad jokes etc.)

Anyways, I backed it for respective 12.00 EUR. Still waiting to vanilla play it, so I can enjoy the intended (d)reamjob in its entirety.

Can someone who backed the KS ask them about difficulty? And not the HP bloat / zerg encounters kind. Interesting enemy compositions, challenging maps and situations, etc

I would back this, but BG being so easy is a huge turn off

Looking at the way they handled their loading screen problem hp bloat and trash mobs is what you'll end up getting. :smug:

Definitely want to see these guys make more RPGs (and drop the Black Geyser name...).

I wonder if they named the game as it is to get the same abbreviation as Baldur's Gate (homage?). Their DLC name is also suspiciously similar to Tales of the Sword Coast, though it would have needed to be Sun Cult to get the TotSC reference.

In my last post I meant that if they do get around to making the game harder it will probably be with more mobs and bloated health bars. Regardless of that I did back the project before going to bed. Excited to see what the next stretch goal is going to be. 30k seems within reach.

That does sound like plausible marketing voodoo. GreenMagicSpell maybe your ex-bf told you something about the name?

made my pledge yesterday... more people subscribed to the KS announcement than the number of current supporters, are they holding out, playing the waiting game? The sooner the 20K are reached, the better chances are for the stretch goals imo. Kind of risky to wait for the last day/paypal imo...
