Marauders doesn't sound intimidating or scary enough. The Archipelagian Sissies.

Can the ship be a galley? So we can have chained non-combatant slave rowers in the background? Previous victims of the maurading band.

Analog art is rad.

And like clockwork, there's always going to be some drama over hurt feelings on the forums regarding fan contributions during the development of 2D isometric crpgs. In the traditions of Lanfear, dlux, Sensuki, etc.,... Anyways, I agree with Gromnir and Fluffle - we need to know what the parameters are. We've also got some really solid and creative writers here. Take advantage of that when and if we have something to present to Obsidian.

Do you have any idea of what kind of split of sales are the investors actually getting? I mean, it's really cool and all that Obsidian is getting cash left and right here, but 'Investing' to me suggests that, long-term, these people will expect to see all their invested money back and then some. Am I getting this right or is 'Investment' on fig not really one? And how will it influence future Obsidian's cash flow? https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire/invest Security: Fig Game Shares – Pillars of Eternity 2 Game: Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Price Per Share: $1,000 Maximum Amount of Offering: $2,000,000 Use of Proceeds: Fig's general working capital, including funding the development of the various games Fig publishes Revenue Sharing Terms a) Fig’s revenue share % will calculated as: the Fig Funds divided by $14 million, until 1.13x the Fig Funds is returned; b) after that, the % will equal the Fig Funds divided by $28 million. c) Fig will earn a revenue share only on PC sales (all storefronts; Windows, Linux, Mac). d) Anticipated release is Q1 2018.

They may need some assistance overseas for distribution purposes but If Obsidian can become more independent and self-sustaining in their projects, I'm all for it.

I suspect they'll be better with planning and scheduling this time around.

From FIG comments... Wait, what?

Yeah, this may not go over so well. Will people have learned since 2000?

Fig Funds is the wild card. In terms of pure backers, they're still currently only at $897,138 with 15,511 backers, which is well off the pace of Project Eternity.

That's pretty good. Although technically, it would have to be a galley. Maybe also have a ships rolls in the Captain's cabin.

your idea, sorta. am nominating you to take the lead. trustworthy enough fellow. perhaps guarantee you a spot as "leferd the cabin boy"? HA! Good Fun! Thanks, Grom, but a bad idea in so many ways. Aye, Cap'n. Cabin Boy's Mate Leferd reporting. ... Or as an alternative, maybe we can work something out with Obsidian to see if they can add a specific add-on option in FIG for our little pirate enterprise. Anyone who wants to join the crew can just purchase this add on. There should be a way for Obsidian to track how many of these specific add-ons have been purchased, to determine if the $5,000 threshold was reached. Of course, this would be extra work on their end...but hey, they've got marketing and community managers now, right?

I see you changed the title of the thread. Sneaky.

The thing is, a few other RPG forum communities were mostly the ones who banded together to grab the inn rewards for Project Eternity. So there's certainly plenty of precedence. Just not here.

You know, I was actually doing the math. There were 705 original members of the Obsidian Order from the first game. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/64752-the-obsidian-order-of-eternity-part-7/ 705 x $8 = $5,640. Actually, only need $5,000.

Start with making mods or using the NWN toolset to create your own module. Or take Chris Avellone's advice: http://forums.obsidian.net/blog/1/entry-157-some-additional-narrative-designer-advice/ http://forums.obsidian.net/blog/1/entry-31-writing-in-computer-games/

There's also the problem of actually adding the $8. There doesn't currently seem to be a way to unilaterally add any funds to your pledge on FIG. I suppose you could get Obsidian to add an Obsidian Order add-on option as an Extra.

It's on the ABOUT tab on fig.

To be fair, fat and short people generally shouldn't be out adventuring and battling dangerous things that are bigger, stronger, and in better shape than them.

If crafting is in, then allow us to mod beyond weapons and armor. There were some cool looking helmets and cloaks that I ended up ditching because they were regular items, and I came across better loot.

I don't think I'm going to go out on a limb to guess that you'll be offered a choice of platforms. Certainly Steam and GOG.

Plausible.

It's nice to know we'll have a companion to take care of our boots. Now, what menial tasks should the rest of our party be assigned with? Could always use someone to scrounge around and pick all the various shrubs, berries, and weeds. I mean, if I'm gonna have two farmers around...may as well take advantage of their skills.

is smash the euphemism kids is using these days? am so outta touch. @aramintai our links answer your querry. tediuous. in detail. repeated. oh, and am again gonna recommend making romances dlc fodder with separate funding. everybody wins, no? HA! Good Fun! Well, I don't what your definition for kids these days are but, yeah sure. *doublechecks urban dictionary. Yep, it's good.
