I'd like to see more of those wonderful, painted, scripted interaction screens in the style of Darklands.

So where is the promised update? RPS is trolling us..

Spiritual successor to Arcanum?

What's wrong with having more content if the quality remains the same? Give us more stretch goals and if people are willing to pay/wait, they will.

Yes, give us more content

Old school RPG on Kickstarter, only few more days:

I am for gaining exp only for completing objectives, because it makes non-combat skills much more valuable than otherwise.

Back to the Roots: The Isle of Eternal Souls

Eternal Souls

As already said, no "chosen one saving the universe from evil mages/dragons/whatever...", please.

Bah. BG2's manual was nothing compared to the Arcanum manual.

Darklands manual

Not a fan of time-based quests. "Urgency" could work with some side-quests, but not with main questline. It's just too restrictive.

Roleplaying is, at least partly, about making choices. But if we can have our cake and eat it too, where's the choice?

Choices are between different combat and different non-combat abilities (separately). The aim of this approach is to ensure that non-combat skills are important as combat skills. Have a little faith, Obsidian can pull this off.

Great update. For me, non-combat abilities are just as important as combat skills and rewarding players for their accomplishments is definitely the right way to go.

To OP:

I'd like to have *** with ten women at the same time. If you don't include this option in Project Eternity, then you are offending my human rights. If you disagree, then you don't respect anybody with different opinion. Does this sound familiar?

Complex =/= Complicated

Raise your pledges, fan funding is the only future for real RPGs:

I'm sure you don't want 'Everything' related to psychology and metaphysics. I mean, they can't throw in everything considered to be 'mature' content. I don't mind folks using the term 'mature' per se, but you have folks wanting all sorts of crazy things to play a major part in the game. The devs have to use some discretion in including mature themes if they want to treat any of those themes with maturity.

"Everything" in the context of setting and story. Not literally everything. And yes, mature themes are often misrepresented, especially in gaming industry.

If somebody started a topic about his personal preferences in politics, it would probably be locked very soon. This topic is exactly the same kind of attempt at promoting somebody's personal opinion as a fact and everybody who doesn't agree with his opinion is suddenly a homophobe, because that's not politically correct attitude or whatever.

Dude if you want to fight for your gay rights, that's fine, but go someplace else. Obsidian has nothing to do with that.

Mature themes I'd like to see? Everything related to psychology and metaphysics.

This kind of topic is the reason why I'm against all kind of romances in RPGs. Play Sims, or get a girl / guy. This is a gaming forum.

Thanks for the link

Locked camera on 2D painted backgrounds. No camera rotation, no zoom. Old school all the way

Maybe "high-quality" souls could mean that the person is more connected to his true nature, a God in himself...

 

By the way, great original post.
