I haven't been able to reproduce the issue anymore. The game just started to run normally after a day or two. If this happens again I will send the mail with appropriate info. Thank you very much for the help!

HI! I have problems running the game from Steam client on Linux. I can't seem to be able to start the game. I just get a black screen, which closes and the applications quits after a couple of minutes. Tried switching screen resolution as well as clearing all settings. No changes. It does however run, if I run the executable directly from the game directory. It does not play any of the intro FMV though. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Well being special doesn't have to imply ego stroking. MotB is example of this. You're special from the start and essentially you're ****ed

I love this idea. I don't the enemies to be just mindless sword fodder, waiting to be killed.

Expert Mode seems very interesting. However I'd prefer something that such more realistic gameplay elements like eating, sleeping, health management etc. but with all ease-of-use helpers - I'm a very absent minded person

Yup. You had to do a great deal of playing around to have Mass Effect 2 in English and it only worked for the Collector's Edition for some reason. Even worse with C&C4.

I like this feature, but I'd like to be scaled down. No front page stuff. You do something good, the front page is about some noble dropping her handkerchief and you get a three sentence mention just before the sports section. Unless of course you do something epic, but in that case it should be near end game. Also this idea might introduce a quite a nice feature of protecting (or not) your identity. You do something stealthily, there's just mention of the event. You do something guns blazing, your person get's more coverage.

The same here, all of these games were released fully localized.

You'd be surprised However I admit, localization is not the best stretch goal ever. However I think it should be there somewhere. Only 5k to go

Horse Depilation Simulator 2014 Sex Lies and Fireballs Cleavage Fighters The Princess Owen in her Happy Dungeon of Jolly-Goody Doom Eternity the Project Through the clouds of Weed Yeah one of these will fit...

Fanboyish opinions will follow. You have been warned! Come on! That was the most ingenious concept for cRPG ever. And it's execution was almost perfect. That idea was awesome! The fact that magic was disturbing forces that could be observed to be orderly without it. And the excerpt form a physics textbook with simple experiments that was added to the game manual... I cannot express how this single concept alone sucked me into the game. Arcanum was not only a good game because of the gameplay and plot, but ingenious because of the setting the rules that managed that world. ... I'm sorry... I just had to... I... just would like Arcanum 2 to be released some day...

Community based translation can be done. But in order to have a reasonable level of quality you'd have to do it the way most Open Source projects are done. You have the core team (in this case 3-4 people), contributors and users reporting bugs. This way you can achieve a good translation. However, it will take time as it's a highly iterative process and needs good maintainer and dedicated and disciplined user base. I agree it can be done, but it's definitely not easy.

I think that Obsidian in further stretch goals might give additional languages: Itallian, Russian, Portuguese and maybe Polish would seem obvious choices as they seem most widely used. Good question is how many people in Asia are interested in Project Eternity. After all the mostly used language in the world is Mandarin Chinese, also Hindi and Japanese have very many speakers.

This is rather common in jRPGs. Actually I don't like the system. It makes you think about each possible battle beforehand. I usually had two slots filled with healing and some simple buffs that's it. However I think that what you propose is a good idea if coupled with the active pause which I like. This way the player has the choice: Either automate their companions, or issue orders directly.

Some kind of system would actually be nice. I don't mean some ultra realistic system in which when your feet are size 42 and you wear shoes size 41, you get -1 to DEX But it IS stupid if a gnome girl can exchange armor with a human paladin.
