and that's the only reason why the fixed camera is better here.
Also the fact Obsidian has a tendency to make really bad camera controls - the worst aspect of NWN2 was the horrible camera. I don't mind first person camera for a single PC, but when controling a party of characters, fixed iso is the way to go.
Since this is not a "find a hidden object" game, rotating camera would add nothing worthwhile, but, judging by previous experiences, only frustration. Zoom will probably be in and useful too, to accomodate for different resolutions etc.

I am excited hearing about obsidian making a new game but please dont be fixated on a viewpoint like isometric, theres been a general advancement , a evolution if you will in gaming to more of ,a modern approach with 1st person views or at least having a camera were you can pan to truly admire the clothing and accesories and tattoos of your character (the character that YOU spend time making) if you do implement a camera which you can rotate please make it better than fallout new vegas which though was a good idea but looked..awkward. ,. and viewpoint is paramount to immersive experience, i want to feel like im actually IN the world , so viewpoint and then atmosphere, then story , then continuity etc
But a 1st person viewpoint like new vegas would be brilliant in a fantasy setting, let me set the scene:
My character has a tomahawk in one hand and a bola in the other (for example sake i understand there will be firearms in the game, probably rifle or primitive machine gun maybe an explosive or magic imbued firearm)I kick down the front door of a house spliters fly everywhere - details like this will help with immersion - the music then starts to pipe up in volume - maybe a orchestral style music piece to really fit the scene as my character goes into battle.
The tomahawk is thrown blindly (the shards are still splintering the air obscuring the view) and misses, the bola is thrown at an orcs legs and he falls over .
my character then pulls out a bow and notches an arrow
because its first person you can actually SEE the fear in the orcs eyes as hes about to be shot by my arrow and realises that ill then move on and kill his family (orcs=evil creatures) and get my reward from the quest giver.
now that deals with the superior viewpoint and thats just one example, imagine all the combat in the game it should be like Neverwinter nights 2 were you kill countless creatures and you can really get an impression for the overwhelming strength and power of your characters as they just cut everything to pieces in each and every battle almost without effort- but this time up close and personal.
Now i hope that looting is more of a streamlined process perhaps like dungeon siege (if i recall correctly that is) were you can automatically collect up all the gold pieces and then you can choose to pick up the nicer stuff like swords which SHOULD display DPS since the MMO style item properties IS a evolution in gameplay. (as picked up on by Obsidians prior Fallout New Vegas) and more immersive than having a description for the item then a +1 +2 etc which actually fell out of favour anyway.
So HUGE kudos to Obsidian, good luck with the game - i am indeed a backer but dont be afraid to change gameplay or camera angels which may hamper the immersive aspect of the game.
I don't get these threads that ask for PE being made like every other generic quasi-rpg fps being produced today. This is for those of us who actually want a game made "the classic way", and those who don't believe that way is obsolete or in any way worse than the "modern" way.
I for one believe it's superior in almost every way, from enabling tactical combat, to, contrary to your opinion, better immersion. It is much harder to immerse when I have to constantly watch those uncanny valley faces talking rubbish with voices given by incompetent voice actors.
We waited 10 years for something like this, why do you want to take it away?

If only I had more money to up my pledge.
This. A fantastic update!
And adventuring companies are ****ing great!

I would certainly like immunities and resistances implemented, no dumbing down please.
Of course, there should be an ingame bestiary available, so you can get needed information. Even better if it's tied to skills, like ranger knowing weaknesses of wildlife or mages knowing weaknesses of constructs etc.

1) A slight possibility of failure(or success) in combat should exist
3) Absolutely, it was one of critical things missing in IE games
4)?
5) YES!
6) agree with evdk. No nwn style please
7) no
none necessary9) skills like arcanum, not many levels
10) If there is still enough (>20) skills left, why not
12) what like parrots, pokemons or druid/ranger companions - I don't care for either
13)yes
14) If possible, yes

No rushing please, a few months of waiting more are not a problem.

Also incorrect. Homosexuality has a biological purpose in that a homosexual couple doesn't bring a new child into the world, but can take care of abandoned children. It's seen in the animal world, and it's seen in our society as well through adoption.
Also, are you aware that rape is also present in nature? Explain please.

Don't heterosexuals also breed gay people?
Pairs of the opposite sex, not necessarily heterosexuals.
Yes, they breed gays too.
My point is that being able to breed isn't an indication of any kind of superiority.
Biologically, it definitely is. Judging by your contempt, you must be the legendary child of Mark and Steve, whose parents were Roderick, John, Frank and Joseph?

we just live our lives and keep our sexuality preferences private, like most people do.
Yeah, hetero pairs holding hands and kissing in public keep their sexuality preferences in private... or when they mention their husbands/wives/boyfriends/girlfriends.. that hot guy/girl that passed by.. they keep it private? Not.
There's a hetero parade every single minute 365 days in a year, imbecile.
Except heterosexuality has a biological purpose, and is kind of necessary for continuation of species. Don't try to imply that queersexuality has equal worth as heterosexuality.
Crudely put but accurate. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what you are it is absolutely certain you are the result of a heterosexual pairing.

Because heterosexual people can't adopt?

YES!
And the pedophiles and zoophiles NEED TO BE REPRESENTED ASAP!! Some of the prominent obsidian developers might have this particular sexuality tendency(just for the sake of argument, not offending obsidian)!!
DEAL WITH IT!!! WE MUST HAVE PEDOPHILES AND ZOOPHILES IN THIS GAME! Otherwise what will everyone think? that obsidian is some kind of monster that opresses people sexual preference? WE CANT HAVE THAT!!
DEAL WITH IT!!
Idiot (sorry mods, but this is the appropriate word), stop mixing homosexuality with pedophilia and zoophilia. They're only comparable in your sick little brain.
This guy is spewing hate speech all over the place. I wonder why is he still kept here.
Why would you insult him like that? All of those mentioned above belong into the same group of mental disorders. It is true that one is harmful to other people and the other is not - that's why pedophilia is prosecuted while LGBT is not, or at least shouldn't be.
Oh the humanity if you're not actually a clone of that idiot and defending yourself.. In case you're not, there are 2 idiots too many on this forums and I'm just using proper terms. Homosexuality is not a mental disorder and you should stop flaunting your ignorance.
The sad part is.. even an idiot could learn that in the era of google. Therefore, a big sorry to all idiots out there!
Don't you say...
Transgender people - not a disorder, because he/she/it is actually a woman, just born in a man's body (or vice versa).
Body dismorphic disorder - a disorder when the affected person is concerned with body image, manifested as excessive concern about and preoccupation with a perceived defect of their physical features.
Why is one time the brain wrong, but in another, very similar case it's the body?
As for homosexuality, did you choose to be aroused by same sex, or is it inborn? Becuse if it's inborn, it is certainly an error, possibly one of the worst errors a brain can have. Since the primary purpose of all life is reproduction...

I simply can not see, where such an option would mean an incredible increase of workload for the developers.
I don't really understand how a transgender person with difficulty connecting to a nontransgendered character would find it easier to connect to an asexual race, much less a race that has no sexuality because it's a non-organic construct like a golem.
And I don't understand how people fail to grasp role playing games are games where you're supposed to play(with implemented mechanics) other characters, not yourself.
When asking for these gay/trans/furry/foot fetish/whatever people want to play themselves - you're a tranny irl, why don't you play a lawful neutral/dwarf/cleric-thief.
If you want to play yourself having romances, changing clothes and arranging your house according to feng-shui, all the while making your avatar as close as possible to yourself, what the **** are you doing here? For such needs there is the Sims series.
Sh**t, I've been doing it wrong? I always play as a male character finding it easyer to relate, and I've been having so much fun with my games! I do tend to mix it up a bit when it comes to the morality issues, but I never seem to be able to get the feel for female PCs the same way I do male PCs.
Fu*k. Now I don't know what to do.

Thanks, but no thanks - I think I'll stick to what I like.
Then why would you try to turn that what you already like into something completely different

I think that Obsidian has fooled me. I thought this was a mature game for mature people. I don't see the mature people. I only see "Burn it with fire" whenever someone mentions something that other people disagree with. And many implications that Obsidian cannot handle themselves and need the forum superheroes to save them.
Well, you know how immature priviledged white straight males are, don't you?
I may be confusing my long term posters here, but as I recall Jaesun, the "Burn it with Fire" suggester, isn't that.
But how could it be that a gay male would not be supportive of the cause? Unpossible!
