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

[evdk]

Okay, so your saying that games like Fire Emblem for the 3DS and Harvest Moon and all that are 'boddice rippers' as you so eloquintly put it should take out the romance options despite being a big factor in it? Fire Emblem has as well for the 3DS since the inclusion of My Unit and the generations with romance options been the highest selling one to date.

What? You want a game where it will stroke your ego and your the hero and everyone sings your praises and everyone idolizes you and no 'true' love? Awww, does someone have attention issues?

Romance is everywhere, romance inspires, romance ALSO has a dark side; ie, jealousy, obsession and all that which could add a whole LOT to a game.

I believe the game will most likely have one.

I... I just down know, man. Harvest Moon. What?

If not for the prohibition I would go buy a bottle of rum.

UPDATE

 

[octavius]

If they would just release some good info on this game, I'd guess the trending would probably go up.

I would certainly pledge some of my money if they offered a DRM free alternative.

I only play shooters where I get killed as easily as my enemy. Basically I only play military shooters and not the other shit.

Urgh, Sylvius the Mad, it's only a matter of time before he starts herping and derping about how his ideal role playing game is one where he defines everything during character creation and just sits and watches everything play out with no further input.

Dungeon Siege?

For someone who lived at Bioboards for years, Sylvius the Mad is the most Sane of people who dwell there, imo. Sometimes he does goes overboard with overanalyzing stuff though...

UPDATE

The more information that comes out the better.. I may just up my pledge to the 100 tier

 

[Curious_Tongue]

I was just thinking.

They're not self publishing are they? Is that why they can't rule out DRM?

That means... it'll probably be an RPG with consoles in mind like Dungeon Siege 3?

God, that thread is like a Purgatory.

I didn't bother to read it but I did my duty and voted for this option:

I want male filled testosterone kind of sex/romance, lots of cleavage and hot girls

M:

The maximum party size is the player's main character (PC) and up to five companions for a total of six characters.

Doesn't give me a picture of what the game they are going to make.

You could list the RPG elements of Oblivion in the same way and it still wouldn't tell you what the game really is.

:facepalm:

Well I don't fucking well know do I?

I assumed they were kickstarting a game that publishers wouldn't touch, not a game that publishers are wary of touching.

I guess. What it comes down to at this point is how much can you trust Todd and his merry band of chucklefucks and how much can you trust Sawyer & Co. to deliver on these promises. I have already made my choice.

Pity posted.

The player witnesses an extraordinary and horrific supernatural event that thrusts them into a unique and difficult circumstance. Burdened with the consequences of this event, the player has to investigate what has happened in order to free themselves from the restless forces that follow and haunt them wherever they go.

I blame Feargussssss

Edit: seriously your kickstarter is supposed to be the game you have dreamed you could make for the last ten years that ignites your passions not the dogged insecure workmanship project

His many LARPing stories scare me. I can't imagine why anyone would want to play RPGs the way he does.

 

[Stinger]

It says plenty, it gives us the premise, the number of companions for the party, an idea of the type of races involved and how they will be executed, and a vague idea of the extent of character customisation. At this stage that's quite a lot to hear, and all of that sounds great honestly.

 

[hoverdog]

the update broke their forums. again.

 

[Roguey]

It's interesting how Eternity now has more backers then Shadowrun Returns did, yet the money raised is lower by some hundreds of thousands. And this is despite the fact that SR was $15 and DE is is $20/now-$25. Is it because SR showed up during the height of Kickstarter fever or were their higher-tier rewards more appealing? Both?
