Game News Obsidian Reveals 'Project Eternity' - Kickstarter Live

[The Great Deceiver]

Help me bros, that jew gold counter is hypnotizing to watch.

+1 char, +1 bluff, +1 persuasion
This would be something realistic and makes character and party creation more interesting.

Realistic? Those are entirely arbitrary.

Did you still got my point or do I have to explain it?

I'm an idiot.

For me, a good romance is one of the central pillars of what makes a good RPG. If they took romance out I'd probably downgrade my pledge. Without amazing and loveable characters I just don't think it would pack the same emotional punch.

Those kickstarter are really a good thing, it solves completely the piracy problem, the game is paid already so if its torrented , no big deal. And it also allow me to say a big fuck you to EA , fuck you syndicate shooter, fuck you utlimate garage sale, fuck you bioware facebook ultima ! Here comes a new golden age of rpgs!

...

"I am Josh Sawyer, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

'No,' says Bobby Kotick, "it belongs to me."
'No,' says the biodrone, "it belongs to Bioware."
'No,' says Jay Wilon, "fuck that loser."

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

Kickstarter.

A place where the artist would not fear the censor,
where the story would not be bound by petty romances,
where the dialogue would not be constrained by the VA.

And with the sweat of your brow, Kickstarter can become your refuge, as well."

 

[kaizoku]

4h to go until the first 24h cycle
will it be funded in one day?

stay tunned on your F5 for the latest updates

 

[evdk]

Try and imagine what could have been had Kickstarter existed during the last days of Troika.

 

[Thane Solus]

not a huge fan but i will pledge, it might turn into something gold, or something decent. In the end it cant be as bad as the shitty games we receive these days from AAA mainstream devs.

Come on man, BG2 and PST both had romances, and those were pretty good games, right? So romances are fine. As is RTwP. As are crappy cinematics shoehorned into the game for no reason.

PS:T has romances? Besides flirting with Ravel?

Maybe they could make romances a stretch goal? At least I hope they won't waste too much time on this crap unless it's some tongue-in-cheek send-up of Bioware.

 

[evdk]

I like your handy meme answer but I still do not remember any romances.

I don't understand why is it so important to have a romance in an crpg... Guess foreveralone life eventually gets to people...

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

I like your handy meme answer but I still do not remember any romances.

It's handy because it's a damn emoticon, dawg. But yes, you can romance companions. You can kiss Annah and fuck Morte in the eye-socket.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

"Skullfucking" was never so apt.

Next gen popamole bullshit.

But yes, you can romance companions. You can kiss Annah

I only remember her being jealous of Grace and trying to kill me.

and fuck Morte in the eye-socket.

Reinstalling.

 

[Jashiin]

"Skullfucking" was never so apt.

"updated my journal"
"Don't thrust the skull.."

 

[Jaesun]

So what incarnation of Ravel will be in this new game?

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

I only remember her being jealous of Grace and trying to kill me.

Guess you're not much of a charmer, eh? Pretty sure the options for Grace exist too but I always went after that hot demon ass.

I do not want to sperg out, but PS:T being 2e succubi were still Tanar'ri ergo demons, whereas a tiefling's lower planes ancestor could very well be a devil. You make no sense, son.

Backed, i hope MCA still can write.

I think he should post in this thread.

You can totally avoid romances in Torment (if you call that kiss a romance) and BGs. At least if they have romances in this game I hope they're as nonintrusive as that, that playing both BGs two times I've never stumbled upon them.
Of course, it could be that I never found them because I wasn't interested in the least to talk with the BG NPCs.

Honestly I always just happened upon that as a result of mining companion conversation for XP. Knowing the people making the game I'd wager this type of thing will be included but likely incidental and nowhere near as derpy and juvenile as Bioware's sad implementation.
