"These Kickstarters for RPGs have been really successful, they have garnered more backer support and more funding than many had thought, and we have noticed that publishers have paid attention to that and they are aware of the success these projects have had," Chris Avellone explained.

DONT DO EET ITS A TRAP

It may be nostalgia surfacing, but I so much prefer this look than a full 3D seen form 1st/3rd person perspective.

It's not nostalgia. It just looks better.

 

[Excidium]

Looks p. good. At least grafics PE will deliver.

THERE IS A MAGICAL OPERATION OF MAXIMUM IMPORTANCE

Malek's dungeon is fucking brutal no fucking blood ugh THE HEART. OF DARKNESS.

It may be nostalgia surfacing, but I so much prefer this look than a full 3D seen form 1st/3rd person perspective.

As a species we've been throwin pigments at the walls for countless thousands of years, and 3D modeling is, what, 30 years old? Painted backdrops are gonna look better for a long time yet. Awesomely.

Evidently made with an early version of blender - when the only arcane command you can make sense of is a hammer everything you'll try to work with will end up a sorry, bashed-in mess.

 

[likaq]

Gfx is awesome.
Am I the only one who likes 3D/2D and iso/fpp/tpp equally?

holy fuck, I had no idea it was a Crowleyism. thought it was just some backdrop Nosgoth character's silliness. neat.

 

[crawlkill]

The Vision and the Voice describes two additional methods of entering the Abyss. The first of these "concerns things of which it (was) unlawful to speak openly under penalty of the most dreadful punishment,"[5] namely receptive homosexual intercourse under the desert sun

total bullshit, doesn't work

edit: unless I've been in the void all along? Codex, is that you?

Are you sure you don't favour any of the just a tiny little bit?

 

[Linden]

Looks like... Baldur's Gate.

A poster in the Obsidian forums, no idea if it's accurate.

P:E was title story in this magazine last month, the pictures are one month old.

information:
in the end you will be level 8-9 with side quest you can get to level 12(level cap).
cipher:
they can move objects per telekenisis
you must target an enemy or a friendly target as anchor for your skills.
An example they mentioned is that you can make a electronical field between you and your target and if one moves the field will move with it.
Your skill effects will affect the area near your anchor.

 

[Infinitron]

How oddly specific. o_O

 

[Sensuki]

The level cap sounds right. Level 10-12 has always been the target. But yeah that bit is probably a quote from one of the developers/Feargus.
