[The Definitive Race Poll]

Er, sorry hate is such a strong word, guess I should have pick dislike instead? can I still edit it?

[The Definitive Race Poll]

So I created another thread, and another poll, because that other one got old and has too many options and I'm trying to narrow it down to only the most voted options, to access better you guys opinions.(hope that makes sense)

No racism pls

[A suggestion for the romances you're considering (if any)]

You guys gotta admit something: the main people that will be buying this game will be straight males, and where I come from, males love some eye candy, there is gotta have some nice cleavage in the game, hookers, hot companions...its all good

[Morality System]

How about no such system?

 

Scrap any kind of morality measurement meter, and just have your companions get butthurt over your choices. Best way to go.

In a world with soul magic, probably there will be detect alignment kind of spells, and I'm pretty sure there will be a morality system maybe similar to D&D

[Stretch goal suggestion... mod support?]

There won't be need for mod support

 

I'm hoping too that there won't be a need for mod support, but mods can do so much more than plugs the gaps on an unfinished project. One of the inviolable rules of the internet is that a game's first mod is a nude mod, but there's so much more scope.

 

For instance, using the Skyrim example yet again, player houses, companions, new towns, new dungeons, texture packs and creature packs are just a few of the many areas that have been modded. Take a look, here.

This isn't going to be an elder scrolls game with infinite quests, WAIFUS and all that...

check out games like PST, only mods for it, are Widescreen mods, and some that fix some stuff

[[Merged] Voice Acting- Suggestion]

Yeah man, could be a good idea, I mean round up some people and have them speak in those sound rooms

[Do we want elves and dwarves?]

No need for so many options in a pool, we can make another one with with less options, my suggestion would be:

Traditional RPG races (dwarf, elf, orc)

Hurr We want differant racis

Traditional races but with a twist

[If romances are included]

You guys gotta admit something: the main people that will be buying this game will be straight males, and where I come from, males love some eye candy, there is gotta have some nice cleavage in the game, hookers, hot companions...its all good

[For devs - bad communication is hurting the project]

Chill guys, info will come, they are just accessing the fans feedback, and discussing the project, they don't want to come up with stuff that will make people hate them.

[Why are resources being spent on a Linux version?]

Stretch goal: get RMS to work in the project

[Stretch goal suggestion... mod support?]

There won't be need for mod support

[MLP game?]

hahaha

lets do a petition to include a pony companion and mount!

[Death]

There should be two difficult levels, for casuals and for hardcore gamers, in the casual your characters can't be permanent dead, but in the hardcore gamer difficulty, that's a possibility

High difficulty level can be quite thrilling to play Imo

 

Then they would effectively have to balance 2 different games. Balance for those with and those without party members.

Well they should allow the player to play solo if he wants...forced companions are kinda lame

[Why are resources being spent on a Linux version?]

It's just that computer geeks, and probably many developers love their linux man, I agree with you that resources would be better spent with gameplay and history, but they just can't help it, it's probably good too, with all the free software cause and all, it can help everyone

[I want ALPHA PROTOCOL 2 or similar videogame! Please!]

Maybe just call it another name, and have similar gameplay mechanics, with spy histories...no need to call it alpha protocol 2

[Do you want Alpha Protocol 2?]

You kidding me right? this game kicks ass, but from all the bad thing people say about it, I find it hard that it will get a sequel

[If romances are included]

nah its not a waste, when done well like in BG2 and PST

but please no BIOWARE STUFF IN MY ROMANCES

[Which game hook brought you to Project Eternity and interests you the most?]

All of them have their own good things, can't say one is better than the other, I did like more PST and BG2 I guess

[Dialogues, should they be tied to your stats?]

Definitely man, in the old rpg's you had to make a guy in your group having the social skills, high charisma and diplomacy skill in D&D for example

[Do we want elves and dwarves?]

It would be nice to see the 'traditional' races, but taken more to extremes.

 

Take elves for example: generally tall, lithe, mysterious forest dwellers, often distrusted by humans. Why not expand on that and instead of having them as tall, pretty, magical versions of humans, focus more on the strange and alien aspect of them. Imagine a cross between 'greys' and Slenderman. Tall, terrifiying creatures that live in the forest and are hardly ever seen, but are known from stories to abduct travellers.

 

Dwarves could almost be living stone. Imagine the scene from Aliens where they're walking through the corridors and we see the xenomorphs coming out of the walls, but make the walls stone and the xenomorphs short, rocky humanoids.

 

The races wouldn't necessarily be malevolent, but they also wouldn't necessarily have the same thought processes and morals as humans.

 

Just my $0.02

 

I like this. Even if they don't go in that exact direction that's the kind of variation on a theme I'd like to see.

Very interesting idea, you see people are complaining that dwarfs and elves are too overused, but really, it's just like in real life, most of books written by humans are about humans, yet few people complains humans are a theme that is very overused and boring, because depending on the author they can make any theme and any subject look good and interesting

[Bring in BioWare or Other Legendary Designers as Stretch Goal]

NOO NOO BIOWARE NOOO

[[Merged] George Ziets as as the 2.8 million stretch goal]

Why didn't they get him at first :/

[[Merged] Co-Op Multiplayer as some potential future stretchgoal?]

They already don't have much to support the development of this game, comparing to other games, like Dragon Age(which only had 3 classes)

so I think stuff like multiplayer, "tea parties" shouldn't really be discussed here, we should focus only in important aspects of RPG: gameplay and historytelling.

[Armour and weapon designs - a plea.]

Well, if a mage is able to blow up a mountain with a single spell, I think warriors should be able to use a huge two handed sword that can chop a tree with one hit too...
