Okay but I suppose most of us looking are at the question in the context of the original cRPG like BG,NWN and Plancescape In those games you didn't just die in Combat and needed to be resurrected. You could get poisoned, diseased, turn to stone and any of these could lead to death or a character being incapacitated. So the role of a healer was critical to address these ailments. Spells like Resurrection didn't just add to the realism but were very important as death could be very common

I fail to see how the suggestion is insulting in anyway to Obsidian. Any Kickstarter project is funded by the fans, what would be insulting if is a development team doing a KS project didn't have the skills or enough resources to either deliver what is expected to the investors couldn't get the game ready at ETA And now that development doesn't feel the need to bring in extra assistance from any other company, including ex-Bioware developers. That would be insulting to the fans.

There must be some death penalty. Similar to BG and NWN, where you had to resurrect players that were killed or when you get Turned to Stone you needed Stone to Flesh. If not you stayed that way, certain poison should be able to kill you slowly and inexorably. Lets bring back the risk and required strategy to win combat. But please not the auto-resurrection after combat features that DA1&2 used.

I agree. I enjoy romances. For me it adds an extra level of consideration and excitement to the choices you make, I would think "how will this choice effect my courting of character x" . I particularly enjoyed my relationship with Viconia in BG2, of course she was smoking hot !!

No I haven't play ME in MP. But is that a example for bad coding? I know many stable single player games that become problematic in MP In fact one positive thing I will say about Bioware is that with DA1&2 and all the ME I had almost no crashes. The games were very stable. Isn't that a sign of good development skills? It's one thing to make a game stable and another to make it bug-free entirely. I agree completely. But now we are on a slippery slope. If a game is judged on bugs, and we are saying that Bioware developers aren't wanted because there games are full of bugs what do we think of Obsidians games,are we saying they are bug-free? My point is every game has bugs, and I still maintain that Bioware does have skilled developers. The issue for me has always been the "dumbed down" games they released from DA1 onwards

I voted yes. Hypothetically speaking if Obsidian needed assistance around development, which I'm sure they don't,why wouldn't you bring in other skilled developers. Biowares perceived failures are not around the coding of there games but the direction and change of the gameplay. Also if anything I would blame EA for this and not Bioware.

Yes it does look familiar, but as others mentioned its probably harder than it sounds to make a truly unique map

Seriously Oldmanpaco I have no issue with constructive criticism or someone who wants to discuss issues. But do you know how stupid your post makes you look? You start with a belligerent and annoying title. The game was only announced days ago and some of your points are speculation You then claim you won't fund the game but expect answers, and yet you have the audacity to claim you aren't one of those "haters" and "kids" Why don't you stand by your convictions, leave the forum and find another RPG. After all Obsidian lied to you and this type of reaction is perfectly understandable? How do you expect people who think logically and rationally to react to your petulant outburst? Seriously...WTF

It's the first RPG based around a perfume brand! You're washed ashore on a tropical beach and a beautiful woman comes up to you, says you smell great and she needs help to save her village from the Evil Watcher of Coconuts. And thus the adventure begins! P.S. The Special Special Edition will have a free bottle of the perfume, your choice of the Ladies or the Men's version! Plus .... ....wait, wat? That's not it? Darn. I thought I had it. That sounds fun, but can we throw in a quest where you need to get new a handbag and shoes in a limited amount of time

Its clearly related to the Gummi Bears, that quote is something Duke Igthorn use to say on a regular basis. I am surprised that no one has realized this? And the Gummi Bear world is a rich and complex one that a RPG could easily be made in. Yes my money is on a Gummi Bear RPG
