  1. I'll bet there will be a "bag of holding" mod within the first day of release if this isn't in, so I wouldn't worry about it
  2. I would like to play a female character and have her addressed in a gender appropriate fashion when I play an RPG. Personally, I don't care if there is boob plate in the game. I don't care if there are loin cloths for men in the game. I don't care if men can wear dresses or not. I don't care if there is nudity. I don't care if there is sex and violence. On the other hand I do care if all the female NPCs are portrayed as whiny/needy damsels in distress (but which I highly doubt would happen in P:E). That said, I'd like to have a choice on what to wear and not have that choice taken from me because of political correctness issues and/or censorship. I loved the sexy armour in Lineage II darnit! But then, both men and women got them
  3. Ad hominem has now officially been used ad nauseum. Tempus fugit, let's continue on the subject and stop the pissing contests?
  4. See how it goes, if things go in the "let's try bringing in the call of duty crowd" direction (which I very strongly doubt will happen with this particular project), then I predict another Kickstarter or indie project popping up some time later. But yeah I'd be annoyed.
  5. I want a godlike of indeterminate class named Edward who sparkles when walking into sunlight. Seriously though, I'll be happy to wait and see. Since I normally play rogues with the occassional wizard thrown in, I'd appreciate it if the other companions aren't all rogues or soft targets.
  6. I know it would require more work but this is one of the reasons why I object to full voice-overs in an RPG. Text based dialogue will make it a lot easier to implement character based dialogue. That said, I do think having the choice to play a female character has been an issue with Obsidian in the past, look at PS:T and AP, they both feature male protagonists only. And I'd really like to see that particular design choice go the way of the Dodo.
  7. Your bitterness at games past aside, when you say you want the world to react to your PC being female, what kind of reactions are you thinking of, out of curiosity ? Not calling me "my lord/sir" etc. would be good. So taking the effort to replace words based on gender selection would definitely be appreciated. I'm not looking for a feminist game, just being able to play it without getting janked out of the story. I'd also like it if female NPCs wouldn't all automatically hit on me while male NPCs go out of their way to act like I'm their 'bro'. If there are character portraits, armour, etc. make them varied, some women do like to wear 'chainmail bikinis' but let it be their choice, just like some men might want to wear something else than a 'dress' when choosing a mage class. Other than that just act in a way that fits the story, no catering to one gender over the other please.
  8. *googles "tarrasque"* *blinks* Yeah okay fine, whatever.
  9. Honestly, I don't care if there is any sexy female clothing and what not as long as the story and gameplay isn't affected. The only thing I insist on is the possibility of playing a female character and the world reacting to that. I'm sad to see so many RPGs forcing me to play a guy or when I do get to play a female it is tacked on and everything in the game is obviously geared towards a male gamer audience. [sarcasm] Yeah, let's just ignore the female playerbase because females don't game....they only play facebook 'games'. [/sarcasm].
  10. I thought this campaign was done very well. The daily updates, flexible add-ons, the amazing amount of questions answered in the Kickstarter comments, they all helped I'm sure. I've upgraded my pledge at least five times because of that. I still never expected the total to go over 3M though, that was amazing to watch. The only critique (more like worry) I had was poor Adam, he looked exhausted during those live streams. Personally I'd have sent him to bed instead of having him do those streams.
  11. I love all of you too *sniffs* Now, get off my lawn!
  12. I'd like to see an update when there is something to say. Like reaching a certain milestone. Having an update just because it was promised on a regular basis would probably get in the way of development, I don't need them that badly.
  13. *You notice a corpse lying partly in the shadows of a dark doorway. It has small scratches all over its body. Part of its face seems to have been eaten. Upon closer examination you see that there is part of a letter, ripped and torn, under the body. It is difficult to see because of the blood, but from what you can piece together, it reads*
  14. It is rather depressing isn't it?
  15. So you could buy the cloth map if you wanted to? I have no idea if that will be in it, from what I read they were considering a poster of the Endless Dungeon and the Almanac, possibly the playing cards.
  16. I believe devs said somewhere that publishers won't take notice unless the game sells one million copies. Sorry, I can't find where they said that, I checked the Kickstarter comments, maybe it was an interview. Anyway what they do get is their own IP and that makes negotiations with publishers and others in the future a lot easier.
  17. No. I pledged everything I could and more even (I'll be eating soup all of next month). But apparently Obsidian is thinking about opening a web store, lots of opportunities there for more spending when that gets here.
  18. From what I gather from interviews companions are your lackeys because otherwise they'd steal the spotlight away from you. There is an amount of player ego involved that most developers don't want to diminish. It doesn't sell as good for one. If you truly want that kind of camaraderie you end up playing co-op or something like that.
  19. I'm sorry, what? Just because people enjoy those romances you're now going to the point that they have fell and selfish desires and try to pull the game into the mud? Now that is disappointing. Everyone has their own things they like to see in the game and their own playstyle, one isn't necessarily more valid than another. Dragging a part of a fanbase through the mud just because they enjoy something and you don't is really crossing the line.
  20. Thank you Ink Blot, I'd never have seen all of that info without you compiling it. You probably raised quite a few pledges along the way. Wonderful job
  21. Also another live stream: http://www.twitch.tv/obsidian
  22. That's ok, I really hate having to play a guy (I'm looking at you PS:T / TW / AP). We all have our battles. That's a good point, games forcing you to play Male characters. Not to mention 'The Witcher 2' opening sex scene, forced romance in your face! I wonder how many people hate/enjoyed that game? Not talking about gameplay or combat, just simply the whole Witcher/Merigold theme. No words can express the amount of rage I felt when I heard one of few RPGs to finally come out had that in it.
  23. Point taken. I guess I'll toss some dice. Edit: couldn't find any dice, random number generator found on the internet told me to pick Paypal. So that's what I'll do $8 left on Kickstarter for the OO, the rest moved to PP. Couldn't resist moving up a tier while at it. *sneezes*
