    Hey, if they want to base the city on London I'll give them a full tour of all the places you... might not... usually... go. And I'll buy them a beer and get them into the Tower.

    ^ You think making dark-skinned characters slavers is politically-correct? It really isn't. Remember a certain Hollywood movie, based on a historically accurate book, having to leave indigenous West African slavers out of the movie because of the uproar from the left? Maybe you can see it both ways, which is clever, but making a dark-skinned race slavers is quite radical and / or subversive. The fact of the matter is that over the course of human history many cultures used slavery. Take a look where the word "slave" comes from (Slav, as in white slaves from the Baltic who went on to serve as high level administrators in the Almohad empire. The Almohads, of course, were North African Muslims). Because our most recent memory of slavery comes from the African-American experience, naturally we look at the subject heavily from that PoV. But it isn't the whole sorry story.

    ^ "Jumping Her Bones" = Romance. Cant, you old smoothie.

    I feel your pain but we must prostitute our values for this worthy cause.

    ^ Miyagi, I've got Google Alerts on this and some days it goes crazy and some days it doesn't. Update 20 is being picked up quite slowly on the gaming sites, which is surprising.

    Saw: Avengers Assemble (what they call it in the UK) --- loved it. Saw: Prometheus: Loved that too. Don't understand some of the hate.

    Let's get this straight: Cadegund is a gun-toting, firearms-obsessed combat priestess. She worships a goddess who encourages the use of very large bombs to cleanse the world of heretics. She's also not too uneasy on the eye. Maybe I'm changing my mind on the whole romance thing*. *This is of course a joke.

    And if you check this link for Kicktraq you'll see that Update 20 saw a spike of $133426 in less than twenty-four hours. http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity/#chart-daily

    I suspect that above ground might count as level one. I think we will end up with eight levels, at least seven. I don't think they'd just make filler content, but it might be story-lite here and there. Dammit, a whole 'gauntlet' level you have to hack through to get to a more story-ville level would suit me, lots of credible reasons you might have one in there.

    3 million looks do-able to me, I've been following Kicktraq pretty much daily. Not sure about 3.5 but as I said this is my first Kickstarter. We just hit over 57500 backers, so that's another megadungeon level!

    Behold, the IWD2 character screen GUI / paper doll. It's neat. But you know what I hate? That itty-bitty avatar in a goldfish bowl. OTOH... Look what a determined modder can do with boring old BG paper dolls!!! So, in short, I like purdy character screen GUI with proper paper dolls. What think you?
  15. Monte Carlo
    I want to see character avatars in-game.
  16. Monte Carlo
    I really want them to make 3.5m for the extra city... but I just can't see it. Then again, this is my first kickstarter.

    * double sigh * Just checked out the pound / dollar exchange rate and realised they will be screwing a bit more out of me.

    Patience padowan. Patience.
  19. Monte Carlo
    *sighs* I have to up my pledge too, like a dollar-funded version of the Charge of the Light Brigade.

    Srsly, I am not a technical person but even I could smell the fetid waft of arse-sewage coming from the self-appointed It experts banging on about how awful the engine was.
  21. Monte Carlo
    Anyhoo a big shout-out to all of you, especially the artists and whoever thought up the idea of priests making bombs.
  22. Monte Carlo
    Am I allowed to scoff at the pinheads who made a fuss about the choice of engine now?
  23. Monte Carlo
    Bomb-making priests FTW.
