"1.4 million, New Playable Race, Class, and Companion!
Expands your options for character creation and adds a companion of the new class."

" 1.8 million, New Playable Race, Class, and Companion!
The options grow for your main character and the roster of your motley crew expands with the addition of a new companion from the selected class."

"2.0 million, Player House!
Get your own house in the game that you can customize, store equipment in, and where your companions hang out, or, as the elves say, "chillax"."


So, they need 500k for some recycled textures and a few lines of dialog and 200k for a fucking house.


Pure faggotory.

Horrible creatures. I avoid them whenever I can.

"Fingers crossed for multiplayer co-op as a stretch goal! Playing isometric RPGs in co-op (such as Diablo II, and later Titan Quest) was an enjoyable chunk of my childhood."

I too think of Diablo and Titan Quest when I think of isometric RPGs of the olden days.

Uh, MCA didn't draw the jewgold troll himself? Meh.

JE Sawyer is the betrayer PCing it up on SA.

MCA still stays sexy.

For now :love:

1. The jewgold troll is an embarrassment. SA are right to pick us up on it. I hope the admins remove it sooner rather than later.

2. How do you know J.E. Sawyer is on SA?

1. :keepmyjewgold:

2. His SA handle is Ropekid and he's pretty active there, especially to talk about his upcoming canceled projects.

@SA Don't take, like 90% here so seriously.

Also read our articles. Heard they are pretty good.

It's pointless to argue. SA is inhabited by scores of weeping vaginas, do not bother.
It's the /r9k/ of internet forums.

That might actually make me laugh even harder. But let's be perfectly honest here - given the persons working on the game it patently impossible that the game would have gender relations copypasted from Lyric Suite's wet dreams and a certain amount of PC representation has to be expected. If it will be done as well as in F:NV I certainly won't mind. I am not really that hang up on cliché high fantasy chain mail bikinis and stuff like that and if for some reason there is a tranny party member I trust MCA & Co. not to make mockery of it all.

It was once funny and even edgy; now it's moderated by cat girls and fat people that'll ban you for such horrid offenses as fat-shaming or saying you "bought" a pet. (The PC term is "adopted").

It's been more than half a day since they hit the initial goal and they received only, roughly, $150k in pledges... after over $1M the previous 24h. That's a big fucking drop.

A big fucking drop which has happened after the beginning rush of EVERY KICKSTARTER EVER.

And every time, people still say it's because the developers fucked up.
So you don't agree with the statement that that drop is because of the shit stretch-goals and the lack of an official statement saying that there is going to be a DRM-free version?
The huge drop off is because everyone gave all their money after hearing about it and it's been funded. Obsidian did kind of sell the dream of old school nostalgia. So now that the game has been "fully funded" why should they give anything else? W2 slowed down a bit too after reaching their goal.

Obsidian asked for too little. If the goal were 2 million then it probably would have kept going strong until 2 million. I'm guessing they need at least 2, probably 3 million, to make a good game. 1.1 million isn't going to do it, and that's why all these details sound so bad because people think they can make a good game with lots of stuff for 1.1 million. It's crazy. Dragon Age only has 3 classes. Diablo 3 only had 5 classes, even though Diablo 2 with expansion had 7.

The real goal should be to get them to 3 million, because I bet that's what they really need. If they release a bare bones RPG that isn't well received, people are going to think kickstarter sucks and probably never donate again.

What does the number of classes have to do with anything when you don't know anything about the design? It's just pointless to talk about that at this moment when you don't even know the real name of the game. Numbers don't mean shit.

Why, what's wrong with it?

not PC enough for - wait for it - the SA forums, the centrum of PC and multicult on the internet
Yeah, it strikes me as odd, but then I know little of SA, except that they had some funny articles a decade ago when I last visited, and that they pay money to post on a forum which sounds even more ridiculous now than it did back then.

I hardly know anything about SA myself but I got in touch with the greater goon sphere in Eve Online and all they do there is posting dongs and 4chan images into local. I thought of them as being likeminded, but apparently I was wrong. I am a bit disappointed tbh.

Yeah, the politically correct goons basically exile their non-PC brethren from the forums, sending them to troll MMOs for the greater glory of SA.
