How is abortion any more different than (underage) sex trade, social strife, civil (gay) rights, government corruption, religious fundamentalism, and holy war?

Threat was a stupid mechanic employed in Dragon Age. It was stupid in WoW. It was stupid in SW:TOR. Let's get one guy the best armor, give him protection and healing buffs, have him shout out a challenge and all enemies converge on him. Meanwhile, the healer constantly heals him, while the rest of the party kills all the baddies as they single-mindedly target the party's so called "tank." None of that please.

I never finished Arcanum but it was always so intriguing. The backgrounds were very cool.

Racism as an accepted and normal part of society and with party NPC's and the characters having no real bones about it. It seems anachronistic to apply modern western society moral relavatism to what is in essence a fantasy medievalism type setting. Slavery. Same as above. Maybe some old fashioned sexism too.

No romances. Shagging optional.

Are you asking a question or starting a topics for discussion. If the former, we don't really know yet.

Crisis averted.

I'm just amazed that he was Gromnir. Oh bother.

No gift spamming please. Though I seriously doubt that this is something Sawyer woul cherry pick from Bio.

Good thing I studied the Prisoner's Dilemma in college.

Maybe bring in Alanschu and Stanley Woo for some QA work? I kid, I kid. ...maybe?

That's really classy.

Way I see it, this is Obsiidian's baby. They can hire people, but renting Kanedans via telecommuniting doesn't seem...clean, eh?

That's nothin! I'm talking Interplays old threaded "mess"age boards. Edit: Forgot to add 'son' at the end. Egads! I remember those days. My very first post there was in ALL CAPS. Still smarting from the flame. First boards I ever frequented.

Along with Dwarf Tossing, I'd like to see Elven Neck-Wringing included in the game. Maybe as a mini-game if they must...

George is cool.

They did fumble, but it's because they had no conception that the game would be funded so quickly. Look at the other high profile kickstarter campaigns: Doublefine, Wasteland, Shadowrun, and Space Annihilation. There is precedent. Plus, Obsidian has to realize that they are much bigger, better known, and with a potentially more rabid following, than all the other companies combined. They should have had this contingency planned out or forecasted.

So here we are two days after the kickstarter launch. Now that I've had time to consider oldmanpaco's arguments, he does make valid points. Yes we don't know much, and some of the stretch goals are bizarre in how they are being presented. However, I'm not even close to considering removing my pledge. But this does underscore that Obsidian may have fumbled a bit. They were obviously scrambling when hey announced their stretch goals, and may have asked for too little with 1.1 million, thereby hindering potential momentum for greater funding.

His litany of insults.

It didn't work in Fallout.

What he said.

Felicia Day ?@feliciaday I just backed Project Eternity on @Kickstarter http://kck.st/Sl7W7K

Vizzini.

The key to getting more pledges is to get more publicity and press. Not just from the gaming websites, but also like Reddit, slashdot, uncrate etc. If they get featured in mainstream newspapers and magazines, they'll get a huge bump.

This couldn't be Karzak could it? ...nah...
