This thread is great! Thanks for all the input, guys! My two cents fall close to Karkarov: The tedious buffing before encounters in CRPGs has never been fun and never will be. Obsidian has a chance to build a new system, and I hope it's a more strategic one. There should be several ways to win/survive encounters and preferably they will be about making clever combinations of spells and/or attacks, smart melee positions for and movements of your party in the given terrain, as well as creative choices of skills etc when building your character. I want a smorgasbord of options and a great variety of spells, weapons and attacks that I can combine inte assorted collections of pain and precision. That said, I want as transparent and clear descriptions of all gameplay mechanics as possible. No black boxes beyond the necessary. Finally, I hope Obsidian dares to make encounters that are not predictable, that is, no humdrum run-of-the-mill darkspawn-thingies for seven maps and then gibberlings on crack for five maps, and then a big boss at the end, say a tarrasque toting a machine gun. Although the last thing would be a bit surprising, I'd much rather have it all messed up and jumbled, like Mulsantir in Motb (both planes) or parts of BG1, where the tempo is all over the place - or rather where you go and how you do it determines your unique rhythm of encounters and difficulty. P.S. I read Monte Carlo's sig as "My mother's outfit is a chain mail bikini". I haven't stopped giggling since... :D And yep, I did play DAO with a sword-and-boarder too. I gave Alisdair the boot as soon as I heard his BoyZone-voice.

To each her/his own! We need to respect that much more, I reckon. Personally, this is what makes a good RPG for me: -An engaging story, or rather an intricate web of stories, set in a reactive world. All the threads can only be unravelled through numerous playthrus with different characters -A perfect atmosphere: music, sound effects, graphics, the sum och which is much greather than its parts - and it should be a whole that feel lived-in, culturally, religiously, economically (Perhaps where Skyrim succeeded the best, but I'd prefer it even grittier and darker) -Plenty of RP-options. Skills and abilities should matter, a lot! -Varied pace, sometimes BG1-slow wilderness kind-a-thing, sometimes fast and furious, at least for a CRPG (not button-mashing, but multiple strategical decisions when between a rock and a hardplace) -Exploring should pay off big time. I'm almost anal about these things. Pixel hunter is my middle name! I simply have to poke around everywhere. I just read Lady Crimson describing the same thing - it is an obsession, but a really enjoyable one for me -Character building - the start of a CRPG is like a fourth of the game's value for me. I love reading up on all the skills and possible stats, and then make an interesting and hopefully good PC. In a way, I can be a bit power-gamey, but above all comes the role-playing aspect. -A generous plethora of choices for your character should be present (regarding its identity, its ethics, etc) as well as a reasonably open world to explore with tonnes of varied clever baddies (monsters, humanoids, antagonists, leviathans, whatever). -A decent AI - but is must not be chess or suicide-inducing Dark Souls-difficulty. IE-games had more fun battles than say NWN 2, but many times NWN 2's system worked better roleplaying wise (if we disregard the weird rest-spamming) - There should be recurring options of non-fighting solutions to encounters. The more varied these are, the better! And that is all I came up with so far. No pressure at all, Obsids! :D

A frigging awesome update! That's the sh**, man! And, darn, those smelly Aragorn/hobo men of the woods with long, greasy hair keep pouring in! These two Aumaua resemble an ogre mage with stage ambitions and a crazed companion of questionable repute who recently escaped from a shady travelling circus with Jenka-hopping bears and a strictly looney dress code. Me f**king like!! A personal wish of mine is a more gritty-looking and ominous world. Somehow, those NPCs and the houses seem to be more RTS-material than mature RPG-stuff. Obviously, they are just protypes of prototypes, and music and lighting will make a huge difference if tweaked correctly, but still a very mild concern of mine. P.S. I bloody hope that Rob will do all the updates from now on. Nuff said!

What Wanderon said, getting it to play on a new computer is cumbersome and annoying. I pre-ordered and will enjoy revisiting BG1 with a BG2-system on top of it: More choices and classes and whatnot. And at that, it was a looong time since I played it the last time.

I love these "Meet the developers"-updates! I'm looking forward to meeting all the Obsids this way, and hopefully you'll throw in a presentation of George Ziets as well. That would make me and a lot of peeps here very happy indeed!

Oboy, where to begin! *tongue in cheek* The kind of Gods I'd like to see: -Well written trickster gods (not the giggly madmen of the Elder Scroll-series), at least to the standard of the Norse god Loki. But I'd love to see a smart, witty and ever so powerful trickster god of Q in Star Trek! -Gorth mentioned "assimilated", so I wouldn't mind some sort of God mapped on the Borg Queen as well, something of a mix between a clockwork God and a God obsessed with logic and order and the spreading of those qualities -Gods like Janus, "organized around a simple principle: that of presiding over all beginnings and transitions, whether abstract or concrete, sacred or profane. Interpretations concerning the god's fundamental nature either limit it to this general function or emphasize a concrete or particular aspect of it (identifying him with light, the sun, the moon, time, movement, the year, doorways, bridges etc.)" (Wikipedia). Mind you, this is not the same as a mere guardian God, it is the passing and its sacred essence that counts. -A clever evil God who have been masking as a good god for a long time and now he/she is showing his/her true colours, or even better, the good followers start doing evil deeds without them realizing it, th evil God stay masked and the goodness-scam keeps on going.

What Sensuki said, and this stretch goal for me is perhaps the second best, after the one with George Ziets.

Tonnes of hugs to all of you! And certainly charged here, a great feeling, for once...

I am all smiles right now! What a community effort and a victory so sweet! We and OEI made history today. 4 M, easy! That graph on the end just shows that people were literally throwing money at Obsidian fast than the system could take.

Feargus on KS just now: We will do things like the following - add quests, variations on attack animations, unique spell effects, unique animation rigs with less rig sharing, art time spend on unique item art, more portraits. I guess that is "more" stuff, but it is to make the game more dense than broadening the borders. It will mean more game time and more replayability as well. Great stuff indeed!

Yup, aVenger! See my post on it in "Make a Wish for 3.6" In the end, I think it was a very wise decision, although I lament a necromancer class, personally.

For aVenger and the rest who wished to see Finishing Touches as the final stretch goal got their wish come true now! As someone who've meddled quite a bit in modding I know how important time and testing are to finish off a good gaming product. It was the sensible thing for OEI to do, but perhaps not quite the fireworks ending we all had hoped for. But as much as I miss my necromancer class, I can at least rest assured that it will be a more polished and detailed gaming experience now. And with all beta testers later on, PE will become a gem, believe me! Cheers!

HOLY BADGER!!! And strange place for a KS to be in: No stretch goals left! Luxury, Obsidian, Luxury! (Python-ref)

Thanks for that post. It really sums up a lot of the core points at this premature stage of PE:s development. Have faith, and above all, this is a day for big celebration! I'm eating a chocolate bar, right now, btw! CHEERS! *Melting chocolate crumbs on keyboard at work*

Let's first set aside the obvious misunderstandings that seem to be pop up now and then on the forums after the AMA on Reddit and Update # 24: -You will not regenerate like an ancient vampiric troll in PE. It will not in any way resemble DA:s system. -And the campaign will not be very level-scaled at all. On the contrary, they said that it would keep that to a minimum. As for the no-kill xp discussion I think it is something bigger than just getting xp. I've played most CRPG.s there are and also loads of pen-n-paper RPGs since the 1970s, and I am a huge D&D fan as well (the IE-games as well as the NWN-ones are things I adore), and that is why I can say with some confidence that I see where the devs are coming from: They know that freeing themselves from some game-mechanical restraints inherent from the glory days of RP-games paves the way for better and more varied RP in a computer game. Objective XP has always been there, but kill-XP has been turned into some simple Gauntlet arcade game. Those hack-n-slash games are great fun too, but this will not be that kind of ARPG (they shouldn't be call ARPG though, Diablo 3, for instance, has zero role playing it). I'm certain that the devs will reward xp for kills to, but in a new and balanced way that rewards variety and role playing, instead of farming and other rampant MMO behaviour.

DCParry: Dlux seems to have taken your advice: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61517-the-obsidian-order-of-eternity-wants-you-part-4/page__st__160

Dlux: Your fears are just playing tricks with you! OEI knows what they're doing, they practicaly invented the games you love! Have some faith in them And here's a link to a thread where Dlux explains his fears in more detail: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61556-the-more-i-hear-the-more-promising-pe-appears/

Piccolo: You're absolutely right! But in my case it's just one big coincidence in my favour...

Not the least glimmer of light escaped the castle's tall black windows. Its broken battlements sketched a jagged line across the darkened sky. The castle brooded over a bleak, mist-shrouded valley, and the terrible fortress was occupied by something ancient and evil. A blot of night detached from the shadowed walls of the castle and moved out onto a narrow balcony. Lightning revealed the sneering countenance of Mühling, the terrible necromancer. His eyes, burning with a never-satisfied hunger, took in the drizzling twilight, the looming peaks, and the few sad lights of the village below. He clutched one hand to his chest and muttered, as if making a promise, or perhaps delivering a curse, a single name: "Indira . . ." The necromancer grimaced, and his sharp wits promised mayhem. A bitter wind spun dead leaves about him, billowing his velvet-lined cape. Another fit of lightning burst from the storm's underbelly, casting stark light across the necromancer's face. The angular muscles of his visage and the taut lines in his hands revealed a man accustomed to exercising complete authority. In that face, no pity lived -- but, perhaps, hints of growing madness?

NerdBoner: That's what's great with undead, they go both ways and more... Kionter: I know, it looks like its too far, unfortunately. But just a crypt will do for me. ( Or a separate and nicely written necromancer class. )

As I've posted elsewhere in blatant self-interest: It is an enormous castle, led by a powerful undead, and which/who has taken necromancy to new heights. And sadly, it looks like a 4 M goal, but I hope 3.8 M will be enough.

I know, I just posted about it in another thread: This must be a necromancer's dream, Count Strahd of PE gone bananas!

Apparently they will surprise us! I just saw the winding path over the mountain-picture get enlarged. Now, like 300 000 away, there is a huge Count Strahd-Ravenloft Castle! Yay! :D
