If you set the bar at "diablo but better storytelling", well, that sounds good!

The game you're looking for already exists and is conveniently also named POE (Path of Exile).

I don't post here, because if you have even the slightest acquaintance with me.. well you know why

But that said, i really need to state just how sad it is reading so many moronic posts, from so many different fucktards. I can't believe such posts are not only allowed (sans consequences), but are in fact taken under consideration by others..?
Nitpicking about the graphics of all things?
And case in point, bitching about them here? Are you fucking blind? It looks awesome and it's not even redone/polished yet!

I got my issues with Obsidian too (hence my not posting), but they sure as hell ain't about ..looks. Even if i WAS that shallow, nothing to condemn here in the first place.

You think someone like Roqua is s.p.e.c.i.a.l. (and he is), but then i watch certain posts, shoutbox convos, """quality""" posters insights (lol) into anything non-RPG related and i start phantasising about purgings and eugenics again. Nevermind race, lol, lower priority.

You lyin bastard! Tha just has dun.

This is a cool shot but I really doubt the game will allow you to zoom out this far (look how tiny the characters are) and this was probably just for promotional purposes.

Is that an in-game screenshot? It looks more like concept art to me.

Random *who's working on it* update

Scott Hafner is level/area designer on it. Previously worked on Wildstar and not much else. Started out making mobile games at gameloft.

Ugh

 

[Spockrock]

I wonder what David Williams is doing

Gotta start somewhere. Kinda feel sorry for him working on wildstar, heard the working conditions there were awful.

Bro, seriously...

At least I am happy they are not employing orcs or goblins. Nothing more boring than Evul Overlard with hordes of orcs and gubluns.

 

[Jedi Exile]

We don't know much about races in this setting, except that there are humans and 'beasts'. There are could be other races, in other parts of the world, which our malevolent Overlord could employ as mercenaries and soldiers. Something tells me though, that you are right and there would be no traditional fantasy races, except humans.

 

[hello friend]

I'd play a game with business goblins.

 

[Azarkon]

People are often critical of Japanese rpgs, but many of them manage to pull of very unique game worlds, with unique cultures and aesthetics.

And then fill them all with the same JRPG/anime cliches.

You know what, that would be great. And I hope they don't make up a bunch of non-traditional Whoozenfeffers and Choomaloomas. I used to be all about making characters from weird crazy races, but as I've matured I've come to find the more subtle gradations of humanity much more interesting.

Aye be refreshin an brave doin owt out o usual, make races o humanity as detailed an distinct as say Orlanthi o Runequest an King of Dragon Pass an there's fuck all need for fantasy midget scots and ponces, you've got way better. Make more sense an all, whats chance o two competing intelligent species arising in same biosphere, they'd fuck or kill each other to extinction.

Us Thals know, you Sapien bastards, an we were just a subrace.

You're welcome.

I know its not technically Business Goblins - but Capitalist Gremlins, but its as close as you are likely to get.

 

[Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

Title of game keeps reminding me of modern trends.

 

[Sannom]

The literacy indicator thing makes me wonder if the Overlord is going to be patterned after Stalin...

 

[Infinitron]

The last Avellone Obsidian game, folks!

 

[Athelas]

Maybe this is the project that made him leave Obsidian.

mindx2: [towards Chris] Is the unannounced RPG your baby?

Chris: No it’s not.

Well, it's possible he had already dropped off from the project at that point.

I guess this finally solves the 'what was MCA's top secret project' mystery (inb4 it's revealed he did some writing for Armored Warfare).

You should make a news post for this shocking discovery.
