    In regards to the example of armor tiers given in the update: ''Should something like hide armor be supplanted/made obsolete by leather as an "improved version" ? My answer is Yes,an advanced version of an armor should make the previous one obsolete because : 1)When selecting the barbarian class you know right from the beginning the pros and cons of it and they should remain largely unchanged.ex. for the benefit of rage ,you cannot wear plate mail without losing the ability -period. 2)It will make finding new gear as exciting as it should be.Since this is not Diablo or Torchlight ie.

    Not only america is watching and funding you guys Actually,according to this http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60487-where-is-everyone-from/page__st__180__hl__europe#entry1208187 , approximately 60 % of the backers are from Europe.I guess the US audience is more satisfied with the video games available on the market in recent years.

    Obviously,these questions are directed towards the developers and to everyone else who knows the video game industry. Will this big success of over 3.6 million $ turn some heads over at the big publishers? Will they try to take a slice from the pie? Will Obsidian be at a better negotiating position? Will they ''resurrect" other vanished video game genres? Don't get me wrong,if i ever saw EA or Activision claiming they were making an "Old School RPG" for the fans,i would roll my eyes and laugh.I am just curious to know whether this crowdfunding revolution has any real impact beyon

    Also,no resurrection magic?It seems to me that in a world that revolves around souls you could do some neat things with resurrection. Maybe every time someone got resurrected,his ability to use soul based skills was affected somehow?I don't know,seems like a lost opportunity to not include resurrection to me.Especially since there will be necromancy.

    The whole stamina/health concept sounds good,i guess.What is the reason you guys decided to do that instead of the standard hit point system? What issue do you address with that mechanic?

    If i remember correctly in BG2 you just found one bag of holding,you didn't have to buy it.Of course it would be expensive if you wanted a second one for example. Also, imagine 12 guys butchering and throwing spells at each other and a donkey or whatever zig zag-ing it's way through the massacre.It would be kind of weird if not comedic.To tell you the truth i'm on the fence on this one,i wouldn't really mind if there were no pack animals.I don't remember ever wishing to have a pack animal in the infinity engine games. In Diablo or Torchlight however, they are life savers because these game

    Aside from it's usefulness , a pack animal will either fight or not. Either way i see the implementation of it somewhat problematic because if it doesn't fight it will have to constantly stay out of harm's way and if it fights it will probably be so weak in later stages of the game that you would have to keep it out of harm's way yourself. Maybe a better solution would be just to have bags of holding of different types?

    Pro Tip to Obsidian : It's good to innovate on gameplay and content but not on linguistics.

    The only two things i can remember of being iffy with our beloved games were: 1)Fog of War - Line of Sight : How many times did we all cast Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud to unsuspecting enemies and they still just stood there taking the damage?It may have saved us from some very tough battles but it was clearly an exploit. 2)Pathfinding : ''You must gather your party before venturing forth'' ''You must gather your party before venturing forth'' ''You must gather your party before venturing forth'' Oh,Minsc what are you doing behind those

    In my opinion IWD 2 aside from being the most beautiful Infinity Engine game ever released,it also had the best UI too. It was informative,practical and visually appealing at the same time.The different vibrant spell colors of the different schools of magic was great.A very good piece of design overall.I hope we will see something very similar in Project Eternity.

    Golem construct as an extra companion,with customization options and the appropriate skill and materials to make it of course.
  14. japol
    Considering that they are goals they set themselves,they should be quite binding.Of course miscalculations could have been made,just not huge ones. I don't think the backers would take their heads if there was one less companion but if there was no mega dungeon for example, people would certainly complain. One other acceptable deviation i think is the release date obviously,within reason.

    Since we don't know exactly how big and expansive the game will be, i don't know if what i suggest is worthwhile,but would you consider adding more enemy variety as a stretch goal or at least part of a stretch goal. One of the things i really liked about Baldur's Gate 2 was the sheer variety and lethality of the enemies but also that you would fight them in places they were suppose to dwell. For example,you would fight Mind Flayers in their city if i remember correctly,Umber Hulks underground,Beholders in some sick places i can't name,Vampires and Liches in their tombs etc.
