I've also had to sign up to this forum to post this quick message,
I adore games like baldur's gate, planescape, icewind dale. For years ive searched for a glimps off a developer who would take a chance on a new fresh RPG in the "old style" (I dont like to think of it a old)
The last isometric game for me was Lionheart. I got sucked into that game from the start, the beautiful artwork and the soundstrack with a great backstory. It was the first game I seen with real life characters from history woven into the plot witch was interesting. Since then there has been a void in the genre for me.
Where the setting of the game lies isnt what matters, what matters is that it sucks you in. And you can belive in it, and want to explore. Like everyone says a game like this needs depth and meaning. It should be cruel at times and funny at other times. A game that twists and manipulates your character and makes you ask your self serious questions.
If this is what your proposing then I will happily pledge money towards Kickstart.
As long as it has these old games at heart, with your creativeness i'm sure your on to a winner
