So paraphrased:
Capitalism = Good
Crony Capitalism = Not So GoodI don't see any problem with that statement, but I'm not surprised that SJWs and post-modernists once again have their panties in a bunch, because Boyarsky didn't endorse full-blown global communism and one-world government fantasies.

Good. Romance in video games is extremely controversial. It is better not to bother with it and just make a good game.

Please don't. I can't stand the guy.
Not to mention that he doesn't like gaming or gamers.

Logging back in after about 2 1/2 years just to say that I mostly agree with the RPG Codex review.
Although I was a huge advocate of the project at first during the Kickstarter, I didn't like the direction that the game was going which is why I removed my pledge and left the project. Sad to see that most of my fears have been confirmed, I wish I could say that I really like the game and I was wrong for leaving the project, but I can't. I wanted for PoE to be on par with the IE games, but after playing it for a while I have determined that each and every IE game is clearly and vastly superior to PoE from a gameplay perspective (in my opinion). I would like to finish PoE, but I don't think that I will be able to. :/
I hope that you take the the criticism to heart when making PoE 2, although I doubt that this would be the case if PoE is a financial success.
Kudos to the art team, you guys did an absolutely amazing job.

Dear brothers and sisters,
I am still missing the official approval (left of my posting) of my title (Captain of the Obsidian Order). I've pledge my fee yesterday in the morning.
Horridoh
If there's a problem D'lux will sort it out for you, you can rely on it
No, I won't (anymore).
I have become extremely sceptical about this game after the last update and reddit ama, so I removed my $168 pledge. I cannot be part of the Obsidian Order anymore, which means somebody else has to update the lists.
Just wanted you to know that.

If we don't get kill XP, then we will avoid combat as much as possible, which is only a good mechanic for a game like Deus Ex or a game with rather linear levels imo. This is the kind of thing that makes your eyes roll in disgust whenever you have to kill trash mobs - because the reward is practically non-existant.
Annoying and worthless combat.... Check!

As for regeneration, I'd like to experiment with handling health in a manner somewhat similar to the 1992 RPG Darklands. Characters have two health resources: Stamina and Health. Proportionally, the character takes much more Stamina damage from an attack than Health damage. Stamina recovers relatively quickly on its own (and with the aid of magic) but Health damage requires rest. If a character hits 0 Stamina, he or she will go unconscious. If a character hits 0 Health, he or she dies.
This sounds a bit strange to me... Why would I lose Stamina from getting hit (and not from attacking)? I know it is just a mechanic, but it should at least make sense.
Because this game will likely become a test site where Josh and Tim can go wild with extravagant and fancy ideas. No xp for kills, HP regenerate on their own during combat (so you can take cover) etc.
No ****. Looks like they never heard of "don't fix it if it isn't broken" and "never change a winning formula/team". These changes to the mechanics are substantial - the game is starting to look more and more like a Dragon Age 2 / New Vegas Hybrid every day.
wtf.
-
"The combat in Darklands was far less forgiving than Dungeons and Dragons. "
No, it isn't. Combat in ANY system is more or less forgiving based on the DM/developer.
I play Modern Warfare on super duper hard - man, that is not forgiving at all either. lol
So I guess that would be a great system for PE also.
lol
-
Replying to The more I here, the more promising PE appears
Not for me. Planescape and Baldur's Gate are the best RPGs ever made (imo), and I do not like the fact that they are trying to fix many basic mechanics that these games used, even though they are not broken.
Update 24 and several of OEI:s answers to those Reddit questions were really to my liking:
-Scarcity of healing and healing potions. No rez scrolls
-Rest spamming is avoided by a clever fatigue system (stamina and health)
Because your main health pool (here stamina) regenerates rapidly by itself. Dragon Age 2 FTW!!! ^^
But at least I can say: Good riddance sleep spamming.
-No boring combat, where yet another door is kicked down and you face Skeleton no 242
-Suspicion towards grinding and humdrum kill-xp
You won't be getting kill XP, so you will avoid combat as much as possible, which is only a good mechanic for a game like Deus Ex or a game with rather linear levels imo. This is the kind of thing that makes your eyes roll in disgust whenever you have to kill trash mobs - because the reward is practically non-existant. Annoying combat.... Check!
-Level-scaled content will be used minimally
Are you sure? The whole main campaign might be level scaled (like in New Vegas). I have no idea how much they mean when they say "a little level scaling"... because New Vegas used a lot of level scaling, the whole main campaign used extensive level scaling, which was a huge part of the game.
I was at least hoping that they would use encounter scaling (like in BGT), but maybe it is too hard to implement or something. ^^

XP only for completing objectives - and regernerating health?!
Well, Project Eternity is now turning into an action RPG. lol Might as well name it "Call of Eternity", it already has guns! haha
Yup, old school RPGs are truly dead, you heard it from Obsidian - the guys that wanted to revive the genre. ^^
It's kind of funny watching the devs play D&D, I think a round of "Call of Duty" would have been more appropriate.
I'm outta here!

No JUSTIN Sweet! Do it internally Obsidian and save money, have Rob, Polina or whomever you like make the portraits!
I don't care who does it, just make sure it is not Justin Sweet!
My avatar is less childish than you.
So I am childish, because my opinion differs from yours?
-
Please, do NOT have Justin Sweet make the portraits.
I don't care who does it, just make sure it is not Justin Sweet! Do it internally Obsidian, you have so many talented artists, use them instead!

Still Nub here
We update titles about every 24 hours. Be patient young Padawan.

Project Eternity In Progress Tuesday Oct 16, 9:00pm EDT $8.00
(10/14/2012) Pledged $5.00 - Thank you for your pledge! Everyone at Obsidian loves you! Every backer for this level or more will receive a KICKSTARTER BACKER ...
Okay, I'd like the title -Lowly Serf of the Obsidian Order
You didn't pledge for a license of the game?
OK...upped my pledge to $1008. Can I request to be the Mad Alchemist of the Obsidian Order?
Thank you very much for pledging such a large amount!
But sadly, we already have a mad alchemist. Please check the members list
I have backed the project with an additional $8!
Open the gates to your guild house! I formally apply to your noble Order.
Please choose a title Yuven!
P.S. By the way, maybe someone tells me how to change 'Display Name' on this forum?
A mod can change it (or tell me and I will foward it). Don't forget to tell me your new screen name, so that I can change it on the list too!
Hello, I have pledged the additional $8 http://www.kickstart...file/2044200789
i would like to simply be known as Callidor of the Obsidian Order
Thanks
Are you sure you want the same forum name and title? i.e. Callidor, Callidor of the Obsidian Order?
You don't have to. People started posting links to their KS profiles even though nobody asked for it. It does not prove if you paid the $8 anyway. Obsidian will be able to see how much you pledged at the end of the Kickstarter.

Is Obsidian publicly undercutting The Outer Worlds' game director, Leonard Boyarsky?

I'm just going by what the OP wrote:
I have personally not checked if this is fact, but I don't think he would lie. It would also be pretty typical behavior of the far-left communist brigade that roams those places.
Anyway, Ms. Kennedy is quite obviously an anti-Capitalist, but I am not sure if she is just another confused lefty that really means no harm or if she would truly prefer to work for a state-owned public utility, formally called Microsoft, in a hypothetical United States of Soviet America. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyhoo, respond again and maybe I'll dig some more. Undoubtedly there is more to find.
