Just how big a game are we talking about here?
I haven't seen anything, and I'm also reluctant to donate more if the game's going to be shorter based on the small budget. It was my understanding that they wanted to make it a series or a trilogy or something.

Something to try to avoid.
salty replied to Moonlight Butterfly's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I totally agree. Foreshadowing exists in a good story, but don't make it blatantly obvious. I'd love to have options where I can act if I think a person's suspicious, like question them or break into their house or tail them for awhile or something. Another thing that's slightly related - if someone's invisible, I don't want to be able to see their outline and not be able to attack them. If they're invisible, I don't want to see them.

I DO want to play inventory Tetris
You can play real inventory Tetris: http://gangles.ca/2009/02/01/inventory-tetris/ The only way it makes sense to be able to carry everything you find is if you have to open a door to another dimension every time you access your inventory. You have to create a magical pocket in space and time, wait for the door to another dimension animation, walk through it, wait for the cell to load, look around your magical closet, and then reverse-repeat as you leave.

Now this is a nice female armor don`t you think?
btw I`m not troll bashing, turns out I like trolling, a lot, but this is just the reality of things, trolls are more comfortable in forums than IN REAL LIFE

Nice 'fit. Keep it clean, boys.

You can even have a weight limit, as well. Let's do this thing proper. A few games that had this: System Shock 2 Arcanum Resident Evil 4 I think I've proved my point.

For devs - bad communication is hurting the project
I think the OP is reasonable, excepting the DLC comparison, but at the same time I don't like catering to morons. It's obvious to me that the addition of a new character costs major $$$ and I'm pretty happy with what I know about the game and stretch goals so far. I also understand the $1.1 budget is really tiny when you have to pay everyone's salaries. I've been following the SA thread, though, so I've seen all of Sawyer's explanations. You really can't satisfy everyone, especially the RPGCodex crowd. Everything has been written in clear and simple English so far and I'm sure they'll clarify everything soon. A work week runs Monday to Friday. I'm impressed they've responded at all after midnight on weekends.

Chris, if you write a full party of characters as good as Kreia...
Imagine every action angering 5 of the 6 Kreias and they all chastise you and then fling insults at each other. Your party is always arguing and second-guessing everything you do. In the end, you are supposed to fight through every Kreia before destroying the ancient evil or finding the wondrous macguffin, but it's too late. They've gotten to you. All you want to do is listen to 6 speeches telling you how worthless and disappointing you are. They're right and you deserve to be punished. The Kreias have won.

No. Go play Fable.

Obsidain why you lie to us?
wow, that has to be the funniest thing I've heard in ages. DA2 is the worse RPG I've ever played. Read his posts in the "Women should wear shirts" thread for more good times.

I absolutely need to unwind after a long day of slaughter with a hot cup of earl grey, some doilies, and an enormous sun bonnet.

Obsidain why you lie to us?
Dear Obsi-DISDAIN, how you do this lieing to us? Promise us a well-written, classic RPG on a tiny budget, and then you dare to focus on giving a few options with all your love and attention rather than 50 shallow choices? This won't stand, I am upping my pledge to get more things!

Playing dress-up is really important to me
I loved Arcanum despite wearing the same dress through the whole game. Having a wide selection of dialogue is also extremely important for my character and immersion, and that can definitely make up for having less clothes. Graphics have improved and I'm assuming we'll be able to zoom in to some extent. We may be able to see ourselves in the inventory, as well. If fine details aren't possible, there are still shapes and colors and separate pieces (hats, shoes, gloves) to consider.

Playing dress-up is really important to me
I either need a character that is fully written (The Nameless One, Geralt) or I need an in-depth character creation system. I'm talking hair, makeup, and clothing. I can't begin to stress how important this is and I know I'm not the only one. When I'm in town, I like to put on my fancy dress of +charisma and persuade the townsfolk to give up all their secrets and pay me to take their goods. When I'm out adventuring, I want to inspire awe in my foes. I want the glare off my armor to blind them for a moment. I want bandits to covet my fine, silken mage robes while I burn them to a crisp. I want to enchant a commoner's tunic with protective charms so that I may go unnoticed in a crowd. And don't forget to accessorize! Jewelry and shoes pull the whole outfit together.

Will there be guns
The people demand ale guns and mead guns.

[Update 02.10.12] Project Eternity: Known Information
It doesn't even have to be gunpowder if magic exists. A gun could be enchanted to shoot anything out of it. That man might be a simple innkeeper with his ale gun.
