Generic fantasy setting?
Even if it were tolkien-esque it wouldn't automatically make it generic. Is game of thrones generic?

Generic fantasy setting?
Hmm having elves doesn't automatically make it generic. What style? A couple of sketches? I mean really?

Generic fantasy setting?
What are people basing this judgment on? Where are they getting this secret information? It's a huge case of jumping to conclusions if you ask me.

Stretch Goals and Backer Rewards - What do you think?
It doesn't mean there can't be depth. You can also run your own corps and stations and such in EVE Online.

Stretch Goals and Backer Rewards - What do you think?
I don't know. A manable city you can become the ruler of seems like the kind of over-ambitious feature Lionhead would attempt in one of their games. The idea sounds good on paper, but would it actually work well in game? I think it would be difficult to implement with the level of depth and complexity expected in an oldschool cRPG like Project Eternity. Look at mount and blade.

This is the kind of cRPG combat that I like
You need to be able to pick multiple options.

[Merged] Cooldown Thread
"Cooldowns however, shifts more focus from strategic to "tactical". The problem with this is that the tactical dimension they add here is that of micromanagement. Whether it be spells, abilities or potion spam." You still have to decide when to use certain abilities and which enemy to use it on and have to weigh that against how long the cooldown is. Micromanagement is a part of any kind of strategy and tactics so that's a silly criticism.

The "Boob Armor" and the whole Issue of objectification
The problem I have with this politically correct crap is that it's ok for women to have their things that are made for them, but it's not ok for men to have their things.

[merged] Vancian Magic System and cooldowns
Meh that guy's an idiot. Almost everything he says is entirely subjective, a non-sequitor, or just wrong. His stance is more from the perspective of an action gamer than really caring about RPG mechanics. So basically you failed to read the entire article? Not surprising. I read it when it was first posted and I just read it again. His arguments against cooldowns are terrible. Such as "they're inherently bad" or "they're completely non-interactive."

I'd also love to see Obsidian making the crafting system more interesting in later stretch goals by adding quests for lore based recipes/ingredients. Also, adding hard to find recipes and/or making some "discoverable" through player combinations.

Stretch Goals and Backer Rewards - What do you think?
I'd rather have a small crypt or cave with an interesting encounter, a strange scroll and a weird feel about it.. than a myriad of dungeon levels that are built just because more people backed the project, and not because it makes sense. Who cares if it makes complete sense. It is a game after all. This is probably going to be entirely optional. There will probably be plenty of smaller areas, etc., but a small cave as a stretch goal isn't really all that interesting now is it?

Well, as any other topic, it's a matter of preference. I wanted to post this as link but the forum insists on media, so I'll have to post this as text: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVbPnDf3TIw

Stretch Goals and Backer Rewards - What do you think?
I much prefer instrumentals to any singing in video game music.

Stretch Goals and Backer Rewards - What do you think?
I'd like to see new areas, races and creatures unique to Eternity, and something outside of the game like an Eternity card game

Exactly. I made the same mistake once, admittedly.
