Please, please don't stick with stock races from fantasy games by which I mean Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings etc... These races have been done to death and lack any feeling of discovery. Elves feel like elves and dwarves feel like dwarves no matter what spin is put on them. No matter how anyone tries to redfine them, they always carry the stereotypes.
I'd really like to see Obsidian put effort into crafting interesting and original races than rehash tired old tropes which we've all seen dozens of times from Tolkien. For me this was a big letdown in DA:O compared to Mass Effect. Seriously when you think Mass Effect you think about the interesting and different races such as the Asari, the Turians and the Krogans and that sense of discovery. Same with Planescape Torment as a setting which introduced Tieflings, Succubi, Automatons, Githzerai, Githyanki etc... all really different from standard Tolkien. When you're launching a new IP like this don't you want to be remembered for your unique creations?
Here is the concept art for the dwarf like race
So yeah Thread can be closed.

Obsidian never sexualized Characters in their games so maybe you guys should play these games before opening such threads?

the CEO of obisdian said something about 400K words for project eternity when talking about a translation
i guess expecting something along that line isn't too far off the truth
afaik the translation of PS:T to italian took 15 months to do, during that time they translated 68510 dialogues and a total of 1,4 million words! i am not saying quantity is equal to quality but that was clearly the case for PS:T
I think translation is always harder than the actual writing because if you want to do a good job you have to translate it in a certain way and style. If you write it you have often this flow mechanism when you can write a ton of stuff in a very short period of time.

The more options in an RPG, the more playability and characters a player can have
If the game does not respond or react to these options in any particular way and thus enhance the gameplay, their inclusion is redundant and you might aswell just imagine these things. And I am quite sure this game will not be able to respond to every whim the players might have.
Exactly. The world should react to your race, actions and also choices. If that is not a given and it will be really difficult to implement such a thing in a game its absolutely meaningless. It would be as if yourself just think that you are this "special" character but no one else knows.

I hope not its not a casual RPG.Will this have minigames? Especially those that you could spend hours playing over and over again?
-
The same that will happen with this one after a while it gets closed XDWhat happened to that other thread about female armour, btw?
-
I want a romance story implemented in the main story or main part of the game. I don't want options maybe if you want to or not. I don't want to have the possibility to have with everyone a relationship or sex. I just want a bit of love in the story integrated.

The further I read in this forum I wish there only could be male character to make everyone offended so that most of them leave. Yeah I know harsh but seriously sometime we should draw a line and think about it first. Not thinking about what you would like but thinking about budget, time and effort you actually had to put in there to make it fit with the world and so on...

Please add Oculus Rift support to the Project Eternity.
With Oculus Rift the Project Eternity can be seen as a 3D board game.
And it will be the first RPG game with Oculus Rift support.
LOL I think you don't even now what this rift kickstarter even was. Its not a consumer device. Its a prototype and developer kit.
Also lol at using this kind of stuff in a non first person game XD

Voted for 2. Every time makes no real sense. however if you get some huge dispute in your party because of your actions they should offer such moments. Or maybe that he will leave the group forever or even tries to kill you because he wants to stop you from evil doing or whatever.
-
I am for option 1 or 2. Seriously I really do not want to power level anyone when I instead could do much more interesting things in this world. This is a "feature" that I do not want to see again.

Yeah this is just like the Bioware forums with Biowarians demanding romances that last throughout the game. It's god awful because they never shut up and will keep this thread going for 300 pages and just keep on saying they want romances and what they should be etc just like on the Bioware forums. It's terrible.I find it pretty sad that the top viewed threads are about romances and gay/lesbian options.
I'm pretty sure Obsidian won't take the Bioware route of Twilight-esque romance and lame soft-core sex scenes, but these "hot" topics are worrisome. Focus on the gameplay, the world, and its story and history, not about making a dating sim for every sexual deviant out there.
Exactly. All I want is a classic RPG with excellent tactical gameplay and a world with rich history and plenty of exploration. Everyone can agree on that, right? You will NEVER please everyone by including romances these days. Someone, some fetish, some deviant, some whatever will always feel left out and bitch and moan when their perfect romance option isn't included how they want it to be. And I really don't want to be presented with incest, pedophilia, zoophilia, whatever the hell just because the devs felt they had to please the fringe. If romances are your main attraction to what P:E could offer, kindly f--k right off back to your Bioware or Furaffinity forum or your virtual harem in Skyrim.
Again...
Again Romance can perfectly fit in the Story: No one here is talking about the Bioware approach where you can lay her/him down in 20 minutes. The realtionship should evolve through the story and not when you want it to be by talk to someone again and again.
I don't even care for a gay and lesbian option. I just want to have some romance. Not a dating sim. Not even different characters you can romance with but a romance inside the story. Like something that ties 2 people together through the story. And you can decide if you let it happen or not. That is really not much to ask for.

And this is not a mainstream game so who cares about that?@TwinkleGorilla
People look to Mass Effect as one of the leading example of video game romance, and to NV as the leading example of good portrayal of gay in video games, but what exactly does it prove.
No they are not. Almost no one wants a Mass effect like romance option. Again look at Baldurs gate 2 for example. That is the romance most of us want. Not the Bioware one.
The point was that the mainstream, not people here consider it as such.

"I want more intellectual kind of romance [...]"
There's a big disconnect between this option and what people are posting in this thread. Many seem to be praising BG2 as an example of good romance, specifically Aerie. That particular romance embodies everything that is wrong with romance in RPG's (remember inventory baby), which only proves that your ideas of a "intellectual kind of romance" is horrible and this is why you cannot be allowed to have any influence over the game. Please crawl back to the bio boards.
So because of this small thing you think it was bad? I am sorry but the actual conversations and also quest involved where fantastic. I loved to listen and read to these conversations because they were intelligent as well.
-
No too stupid.What about the option for the local town Cleric in the Temple being a psycho pedophile who rapes sick young boys in exchange for healing them of diseases with magic. You can either white knight him and stop his horrible acts, or sign up as his missionary apprentice and go find sick boys in the countryside who need "healing".
Too morally amiguous?

Time is money, money = resources, resources are better spent elsewhere.
Spent were? I rather have a great romance plot than some ****ty multiplayer. I rather have a great love story instead of a castle or stronghold with stupid mini games. Who decides where money should go? If Obsidian is listening to the people here you see a strong argument for romance options that are mature and intelligent instead of the Mass effect stuff.

I want a tactical and challenging RP with the tools and mechanics we have today.
There is no reason to include modern game mechanics and still make it challenging. But most people seem to fail here in my opinion.
-
if I read another time "romance have nothing to do with RPG"
Romance (has) nothing to do with RPG(s).
I wrote a post on page 17 asking somebody to name one revered cRPG which is revered because of romance.
Why CRPG?
Why not lets say JRPG XD
Final Fantasy X
As for West RPGs. I loved how it was developed in the Witcher 2 as well.
Romance is still kind of a taboo topic in videogames which makes me very sad.
And no romance is not the Mass effect or even Dragon Age way.
-
Hell no. for the love of God. No levelscaling.
-
I also think it will be like basic classes with further advanced claees. Like Fighter can become a Knight or darknight (stupid example^^) Or thief goes to rogue or assassin. Something like that.

As long it has a auto sort function I am all in. Weight and spaces are important I think.
Body parts and gratuitous violence

Baldurs Gate had that already.
