Oh, look at the right side of that picture! It's Cthulhu! Sup Cthulhu? Long time no see.

[Generic fantasy setting?]

"Generic fantasy" is such a stupid term. I see kiddies od IMDB forums call Game of Thrones "generic" fantasy all the time. Hell, some even label Warcraft as "generic" and that stuff is almost as full of wierd random crap as a China Mieville novel. Don't think anyone is is able to explain what "generic fantasy" means, that's just something that kids who don't know s*** about fantasy like to throw around.

[[Merged] Please make a console version!]

No, no, no, no, NO. NO. They should't even consider the possibility of console ports, not during the development of the game nor after the release.

[What do you want the other race(s) to be?]

I'm happy with just humans, elves and dwarves.

 

The more strage races there are, the weirder the setting becomes.

I agree.

They have already strayed a little too much from the proven fantasy template, at least for my liking.

[Creature design]

Real life sea creatures are so terrifying on their own merits they can transfer them wholesale. Nature is more horrible than human imagining.

This.

Aren't they cute?

[Do you want firearms in Project Eternity?]

Well then, we'd have to agree that we each have those viewpoints, and to live and let live. Me, i love that feeling, that the old is about to be replaced by the new, that the world is about to change. Sure, we must spare some feelings for the world about to be left behind, but that is progress. As things change, so do our possibilities expand!

You might see it that way, rest of us might see it differently. For me "progress" means death of romance and wonder. We no longer have a world of high adventure and mystery, instead we have a boring place ruled by cold science. You know, the same place from which many of us are trying to escape through books and games.

I'm sorry but I do not want that kind of "fantasy".

[Do you want firearms in Project Eternity?]

Man pls no guns, IRL they already suck, in a fantasy world they shouldn't exist, I mean they pretty much make it possible so that a 5 year old kid can kill a full trained warrior, it's kinda lame IMO

This.

Bows and crossbows actually require a lot of skill and proper training. Anyone can use firearms, That is one of the reasons they should not be included. They would completely destroy the feeling of old-fashioned fantasy adventure.

[Do you want firearms in Project Eternity?]

Do we wont firearms? NO, we don't! We expect cRPG in classy high fantasy setting, not some SF/steampunk/new weird/jRPG junk. Project Eternity should be a successor to series like Baldur's Gate and NWN, not Arcanum 2. Presence of any kind of firearms or other advanced tech will force me withdraw my pledge. These things have no place in high fantasy.
