Alright, I fucking matched my kickstarter donation on Codex. It's not much but I'm just back from an overseas trip and I can't afford to throw money around.

Fucking faggots. Can we just have something that isn't shit? Like the random encounter in Fallout 2 with the unwashed villagers attacking a spammer?

 

[Crooked Bee]

We'll probably stage a contest or something. DU's the one you should pester about it, though, not I.

 

[ironyuri]

And while my donation to the project is small, fuck you people, I will likely be buying a collectors edition box at release when the product exists.

How that wasn't shit?

Careful, we're not sure at this point if such a box will actually exist.

I thought the party of adventurers was already decided? If we have a contest that would be something at least. Especially if we get to write up the equipment some of the adventurers are carrying.

If we do have a party of adventurers it would be nice to subvert the sort of shit that was in Baldur's Gate, like the encounter with Drizzt, or something that reflexively makes fun of Obsidian games.

You find a beautiful silver longsword on this corpse, unfortunately the sword is broken, and now useless, because this encounter was programmed by an employee at Obsidian Entertainment.

Because it was in an isometric, turn based Fallout game. Jesus, Browak, get with the fucking program. Isometric, turn-based automatically makes everything about a game amazing.

Upgraded my codex donation to the $250 tier. Onwards to 7k!

(and yeah, I want a custom troll )

Sorry, didn't get the memo. So now the only thing we have to do is ensure that PE is turn-based. No problem there. I think that lawsuit for stealing CB's ideas may work out.

I know, impressive wasn't it?



Anyway, you missed my original question (phrased as a statement with an inflection at the end): I thought the adventure party had already been decided on in that site feedback thread with the post DU wrote? Are you able to confirm we'll have a competition after our fundraiser ends?

Can you say what other possible rewards Codex will get collectively from Obsidian? A random encounter location where the party is found, that sort of thing?

Also, to anyone who says this kind of insertion is lulzy, Obsidian and Troika people have inserted themselves into their games for years, either as portraits or characters.

Avellone the bounty hunter in Fallout 2, the mayor in Fallout: Tactics; the portraits in Arcanum being either real life figures or employees of the studio.

Only DU can confirm something like that. However, he did tell me he's thinking of staging a contest. For what it's worth.

No, not yet. And I don't think I'll bother them with it until the Kickstarter is over. They're just too busy now.

For the moment, just keep your ideas flowing, if you have them. I shall make notes.

Ultimately, of course, it's all up to DU. The money is in his hands, and the final say is also his.

No, the money is in the hands of Greg Martin, Inc. apparently. The Codex off-shore slush fund.

Anyway, I don't really have ideas, because I'd rather the developers did something that fits with the game. But if we're getting a party of adventurers, it would be nice if they were a "special encounter" rather than just placed on a map and encountered in every playthrough.

I'd rather Obsidian handled this stuff the way the specials were handled in Fallout, random special encounters you might get while map travelling between locales. If that is how they do it, then it would be good if we had our own special encounter locale, which, as a metaphor for the Codex, might be a party of adventurers who stopped by a watering hole but discovered it was really a cesspit... or a cool location with some old ruins and the adventurers sifting through them for the "wisdom of the past" (ie: games from the 80s, 90s).

Special encounters with a random chance would keep the more self-referential lulziness as a sideline, as you wouldn't necessarily have an encounter with EVERY party of forum adventurers, or discover EVERY reward tier kickstarter shit in every playthrough.

The Inn reward for example, could be like the cafe of broken dreams in Fallout 2, which worked as a random encounter.

We're fucked.

I don't see your name on the list of backers (http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=8456). Did you provide DU with your Codex username? You should PM him, then.

I did and he fixed the list. Then after the next update he "forgot", because [livekiller] was back.

Sorry, I just spent all the money on a hot ménage à trois with some hookers.

I put $50 in the Obsidian KickStarter though so they can mention "rpgcodex" in the credits in the thank you section.

Trust me, it's better this way.

Incidentally, all this name-dropping is going to get stupidly retarded at some point.

it could be a mini location where the codex party hangs out. marker of an epic battle between two sides and the names being the list of the fallen, whose graves are now being robbed by the codexian party or something.

Yeah, like I said, stupidly retarded.

 

[861129]

I owe them for brilliant previous games not paid for, plus PE looks fucking groovy. Donated the 250.

Please see posts above, @DarkUnderpants, can you confirm if we'll be holding a competition to decide what the party/locale will be when we liaise with Obshit?

 

[Mother Russia]

DU, can you reveal the nicks of those who donated huge amounts? I am a bit astounded there are well off ppl here, and I wanna know if they are regulars. Sure they are probably using momy's credit card, but still...

Also, I lost track of what the Codex Party in the game will be. Warriors of Diversity, or the shit horseman bullshit that makes no sense at all?? Or something else?
