Meh I wrote a really long post in the previous thread, dont really see the point if threads are going to be closed down after 20 or so pages.

Good points, good points. Therefore the tasteful and mature implementation of Romance\Sex should be no issue in the game for people of such eminent technical ability? You cannot write party members falling in love with a blank slate and call it romance. There is nothing romantic about picking the correct choice from a multiple answer quiz. It's just a dating sim when you do that, the affection bars in Dragon Age are a clue that you are infact playing a minigame.

The word romance hasnt been mentioned once, Mr Avellone chose his words carefully. There is nothing wrong with party banter and interaction. There is something extremely wrong with writers being forced to construct characters that fall head over heels in love with you. I dont have anything against romance, what bioware portray as romance is laughable. It's masterbation for the player, there is no meaning behind it. I would argue that the only way party romances could work and be well written is if they were between two party members and excluding the very blank faced and generic PC. Thats romance between two characters that the writters have created and I can live with that.

This is a role playing game reborn from a bygone era, tactical party based combat, an original and brand new setting. Some of the greatest writers and designers of RPGS ever are working on this project. and what are some people most concerned about ? if they can have a virtual romance ingame...... Seriously get your prioritys sorted, this promises to be at the very least one of the greatest RPGS of the last decade. Be excited about us getting a fantastic game with a grand story. Be less excited about playing dating sim mini games. Look at what Bioware have become, look at what they did with Dragon Age 2, or as I like to call it "Dragon Age : we'll **** anything that breathes!" You add some romance options and the" I WUB MY WAIFU!" crowd decend upon every social media platform and demand more. For gods sake they spent more time making sure you could shack up with people then writing a coherent ending! Stay tuned for Dragon Age 3 : "This time you can date a Qunari!" You put in party banter and flirts, and they want harems. You put in a peck on the cheek and they want full blown orgy sex scenes. Well I say NO MORE! The line must be drawn here! This far no further! I would rather the writers spend time creating meaningful dialogue, where I find out all sorts of interesting things about my party, then waste one second constructing meaningless romantic overtures. Its' one of the reason's I'm so glad this is Josh and MCA's baby, cause I know they wont. You want a realistic and great romance plot to come out of Project Eternity? Give it to people in the third game when the party members have known each other for years and have seen and been through some serious crap together.

I have faith in Obsidian to write a decent ending, but thats all I will say on the matter.

I'm going to be a bit lost without all this going on, not sure if anyone else feels the same.

I'm strongly for the devs doing what they want to do, this was Joshs idea so i'm for it. They are crowd sourcing funding to make their game, not ours.

People moaning about not being able to grind mob kills for exp should go play Diablo or Wow. good god. I sincerely hope the devs stick to their guns on this, its intelligent design.

I dont really mind despite my voting, would be nice for the order itself to show up in the lore somewhere though.

Doublefine have spent over half a million dollars just making the junk for rewards, just so you can make a fair comparison. Hence my comment. I dont want the games budget vanishing on making more stuff to reward people with. One of the reasons I picked the $165 reward tier.

Hey Bobby, just a question if you are still reading this. Were you a fan of Baldurs Gate 2 and Cromwell the smith? To be honest if you are going to include crafting I think assembling legendary items from various parts would be quite a cool way to do one aspect of it.

Talk about "Mature Themes". Yikes See, I told you all. If you book them, they will come.

Has potential especially with the souls theme, I just worry that the romancers will want to try necrophilla if you make them playable or companions.

I would suggest asking this in the kickstarter comments, Feargus usually answers fairly quickly and I think hes on.

How about we make the 3.6 stretch goal NOT to include Furrys. Jesus christ.

The main thing is to make sure they are introduced early. Cant stand big bads that turn up at the end.

No thanks, Dragon Age was passable but it was hardly what I would call inspiring. Less EA tainted people involved on this project the better.

I've given all I can, and spent way more on this then any other game ever. What we need is more backers, not people giving more money.

Grimdark for the sake of being Grimdark is pretentious as all hell, the world doesnt have to be all dark and gritty to tell a good story. Considering Obsidians previous offerings I dont think we need to worry about the tone being right.

I want it to look like Baldurs Gate 2. I like my UI's to have some meat.

No more Physical rewards, its going to eat up the games budget before its even been made,

I like the idea of master skill trainers from Arcanum with their own nifty quests.

Does ustream record streams?

Bit concerned over the choice of streaming site. Twitch.tv is a streaming site for gamers that would have attracted a lot more viewers. Ustream wont have that appeal.

Cool to see you streaming Adam but Oh god, why ustream? its horrid use twitch for goodness sake
