Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[villain of the story]

$4M FUCK YEAH!

Bad day for villain of the story, two of his "predictions" shattered within hours of each other

Ahem, they finished just short of $20K on Kickstarter. Don't give me crap about PayPal. I've been dismissing PP all along.

Goodnight y'all. After this ridiculous hysteria induced pledge I need to go and lie down. Now I know how people like mind2x and other McScrooge Moneybags' here on the codex feel when they go all out. Trouble is, they can sustain it having grown fat on the work of the proletariat beneath them. I on the other hand cannot so now I'll be racked by guilt for weeks. Add the Codex pledge and it makes it even more stupefying.

I don't get why, when we manage to get a sweet-ass 14-level-deep dungeon, some of you guys want to "split it up into two dungeons!!" That completely destroys the epic novelty of it. The whole point is that it's a 14-level-deep dungeon.

I love Project Eternity. It's going to be the best RPG ever.

Two more levels and it'd be Diablo in its entirety. Good luck with that.

Pledging to KS now on cooldown

Need more vespene gas cash!

I will be sorely disappointed if the final name of this game isn't PROJECT WOOOOOOOOOO.

I can see it now.

Obsidian logo comes up. Unity engine logo comes up. Title screen fades into view... the text: Project and then Avellone screams through your speakers, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

 

[Menckenstein]

Ric Flair narrates Project Eternity.

I feel the same way... so long as the wife doesn't kill me, I'll get over it though. Unless Eternity turns into Ultima IX in which case I may hang myself.

I'm fairly certain owning a computer that will run Project Eternity, having Internet access, being able to purchase games on a regular basis, and not going into lifelong debt/starving to death due to your impulsive contribution already place you among the worldwide elite.

I donated the same amount (sans Race Traitor), and I'm about fucking tapped out on Kickstarters and shit for this year and most of the next. Nearly $3,000 spent, so far. They've tugged my Wasteland/Fallout heartstring, my Baldur's Gate/Planescape Torment heartstring, my Space Quest heartstring (SpaceVenture), my Tim Schafer heartstring, my Wing Commander hearstring (Star Citizen), and my Shadowrun heartstring.

They're running out of hearstrings to tug, so my wallet might be safe.

We found out the guy wasn't rockin' out with his cock out.

NOTHING on earth will ever topple that fucking piece of shit.

Nothing. Even Bethesda couldn't even make a game THAT bad. That is honestly horrifying to comprehend.

yeah you may be right when you put it in perspective. Hell, rent for a week for a house here in Australia is more or less what this pledge cost me and it comes and goes like that. I guess the real guilt comes from spending it on a vanity/nostalgia thing for personal benefit rather than spending it on my family, my boy. Sure, all the other times they take priority but still one cannot escape this stupid guilt rather than enjoy the buzz of treating my dormant inner self for once.

I'm saving this for later, just in case.

No kits for classes like in BG2 but each class has several options in which to "grow".

DA:O style ability trees confirmed. I've been saying it all along. Here's hoping it will be a good game despite shit like that.

You need to update your sig. Also, what are "TITTY angles"? That doesn't sound like a bad thing.

EDIT: Wait a minute, DA:O didn't really have ability "trees", they were more like ability lists. Or something.

Fallout 4, Dudebro hiking simulator 4. I am not looking forward to it. Damn you BGS!

People may be able to go in whatever direction they may choose thought. After all this game seems like it might be pretty open. Nevertheless I look forward to the speculation and discussion.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

I ended up bumping up to 300 in the last minute. Gonna be getting bunch of addons i guess...

 

[Jaesun]

Cracking a beer and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Obsidian.

SUCK IT VOTS.

Every time I see a Bethesda game referred to as a "hiking simulator," I laugh and/or choke in real life.

My fondest comedy memory of Fallout 3 is when you'd jump your character onto a six-inch-high rock, and Dogmeat would immediately turn around and sprint off into the distance due to some sort of crazy pathfinding nonsense.

Looks like they finished with 3.986,929 millions. Do you know what it means?

$4.0m Chris Avellone will be forced to play Arcanum.

He escaped by 23,071 $

No he didn't. Paypal counts towards stretch goals.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

Oh fuck, when i updated the pledge, it reverted my payment to the default - my debit card. Now my wife will be pissed for sure
