Uh... i'm voting these up anyway because "Fuck yeah", better let them know that we want them at any chance, etc, etc... But wasn't that survey supposed to be just about "goodies" for the KS campaign, rather than features for the core design?

What survey? From what I gathered this was supposed to be like the Torment kickstarter where you can recommend pretty much anything.

Also:

Darker and more brutal world with black humor, violence and psychological thriller story

I want darker things to happen in the game with serious emotions context

Gr1md0rk.

Multiple endings and romance with followers. Would love to see an ending unique to each relationship.

I feel that romance in an RPG is important because relationships is what makes the world and npcs feel real. Traveling and meeting new people is half the fun in an RPG and cultivating those relationships is what makes it a unique experience for each player. Having an ending for each possible romance or friendship will give the player a sense of an end game accomplishment and that all your "hard work" payed off. Of course, the gameplay and other aspects of the game should be polished as well.

Play with a group of 6 members

Its always so hard to get all the skills in a group of only 4 players. More members would make it easier and you can have a really exotic one which you wouldn´t take with you, when limited to 4 party members.

6 PCs = but his reasoning =

Our own NPCs and Backstories

Our own NPCs and backstories so it fills up the world with interesting characters. Maybe make an NPC generator for us to play with.

You could hear the screams of Pillars of Eternity backers.

First/third person view

I wish to be immersed in the Divinity universe as much as possible!
I want to walk it's streets, trails, meadows, forests...from the deepest cavern to the highest mountaintop!
I want to really feel like BEING part of it. Because it's awesome.

Muh imurshon

Kickstarter Pledge Rewards

Welcome to our Kickstarter Suggestion Page! This is a space where you, and other fans, can come together to help us provide the Kickstarter Campaign that you want.

We’re collecting your ideas for Kickstarter Rewards, both physical and digital, and suggestions for what you want to see from us. If you have an idea for a Reward, then tell us in the form below.

The Torment Kickstarter too had different pages for different categories of things to vote on, it wasn't quite a free-for-all.

 

[Siveon]

True, but it was pretty broad iirc, so it felt like anything goes.

 

[hoverdog]

I hope the artstyle looks less like a cheap ancient MMO (every man is HUGE, every girl is a twig in heels, the gear design). I know they choose it so the game would run on integrated graphics, but damn did it look ugly.

I would rather have gameplay systems (including character development, level system and itemisation) not resemble a cheap MMO, but whatever

 

[deuxhero]

The items need improvement for sure, especially making sure they don't scale as harshly (what's great one moment is almost instantly outdated).

I would rather have nothing resemble a cheap mmo

Larger party size would indeed be welcomed.

I kinda liked the dynamic of a smaller party better; where, at least how it seemed to me, there was the idea that you can't make the basic DnD esque lineup that (along with being pretty fucking boring) has almost all the "answers" in one package (or a row of mages bombarding from behind a row of tanks, or some such), and that a broader specialization paths and some overlapping were required to certain degree resulting in potential situational sacrifices in character progression. It felt more interesting to build the party.

 

[Daedalos]

Meh.

Unless they really make combat something else and different from D:OS, it's gonna feel similar, boring and contrived, all in all.

And combat looks to be the the major selling point of the game and the sequel. The story in D:OS was piss poor, the setting is forgettable and annoying, as I expect the sequel to follow suit.

Let's see how this turns out.

Meh.

The combat was actually my favorite part of the game (on par with the abundance of environmental interaction).
At least until things didn't start to become a bit silly with some weirdly overpowered talents and pieces of gear.

I kinda liked the dynamic of a smaller party better.

My problem with this recent trend for small parties is that they give very little freedom on how to compose your team.
You are essentially forced (well, let's say strongly encouraged) to stick with a single character for archetype or to ignore that part of the mechanics.

 

[agentorange]

Remind me of Yoshitaka Amano.

yeah, no

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

I'd really like for a different title, and I am going to assume that they will change it when it nears release, or after kickstarter for that matter. You can still be a sequel and not have a #2 stacked right next to the title (or under it, or above it, or in it's ass).

Kind of like what they did for the original, Original Sin, it was named 'Eyes of a Child' beforehand, and then shoved out with some god-awful name.

I should probably add an request on their page for a different title lol

Anyways, I think that Brian Fargo might be one of the contributors to convincing Swen to go back to Kickstarter.

They changed the title because the plot changed.

Original Sin refers to the Pandora myth.

Larian's system of series titles is a total mess anyway. How about:

Divinity 3, episode 2: A New Sin
Divinity 4: Original Sin 2
Divinity: Divine Sin
Original Sin 2: Return to Divinity
Divine Original Sin 2: Divinity
Beyond Original Sin

 

[Fairfax]

Divinity: Divinity

 

[Roguey]

Divinity: Ultimate Sin?

Only if they cut a deal with Ozzy to provide the soundtrack.

@RPGCodex I love you guys. Totally down for it (stretch goal or not). Er, I probably shouldn't have said that last "or not" bit.
