A i "DON"T whant to see godlike if they where "Planetouched". Expecially genasi was weirdest thin that i ever saw with the "Burning hair" .... I don't know haw some human can be impragneted by "Fire Elemental" ... it's just dump ... If god's of Eternity will be more like Grek or Norse gods than "Godlike" has same sense but not like mix of grek gods and chirtian angels and demons we see in D&D .... An idea of having demonic grandpa or angelic granny is to much for me .....

Yes they are. In that there are some earlier references to something of same or similar name, but orcs as we know them (ie. not ghosts or pixies or somesuch) are indeed JRR's creation. Elves are not, goblins are not, trolls are not. as what ? Tolkien sad that orcs are elves changed by the evil (Morgoth) and funny is that that he also called them goblins and many times orc and gobiln whar definiction to the same race... if you tell me that he invented goblins i will propalbt die laughting ... So Tolkien ORC creation was not only incomplete but also shallow and never again adapted the same whay, there where in his books only for exciuse of fighting. If not orcs there will be Yugoi, Aumaha, demons, vampires, trolls, goblins, hobgoblins etc. (and by the whay tolkien orc are more simmillar to hobgoblins or bugbear from d&D) He in whole his carrier never mention about orc female (dwarve female to propably) in my opinion he was bad writher D&D orcs are diffrent, Warcraft orc are diffrent, Warhammers orcs are diffrent, Tokien orc are diffrent. An when someone tells me that orcs are only bad its only shows his narrowminded and not knowing the subject.

Yeah we have 24 interpretations of elves and dwarves. Your logic is like "They made them evil so they are evil" ORCs are not created by Tolkien, Elves are not created by Tolkien and Trolles are not created or dicoverd by Tolkien. And your thinking like "orc must be evil and don't change that" is the same logic like "someone crated evil race named orc so why the hell we must be original, let/s just copy and paste everything" They are from folk adaptations, and this is 1 thing i don't like in P:E Orlans and Aumauas race names, they are not insired, they have no connetions to there name .... (at this moment) we have 1/2 of known game creatures to be adaptations and 1/2 to be Obsidaian Created. I don't like this idea, you will go wiht pure inspirations like Tolkien, or D&D desiners or go with own monsters like Fallout ...

Aumaua Barbarian (becouse i still hope that this race will be some kinf of orc, ogr or something), if this race is somekind of BIG humans like qunari it fits well to, if it's lizard/animalistic race then it fitts to ... Also having some undead, half-demon, half-dragon companion will be awsome ....

Like above whats Your expectations for the next companion ? You want dwarven warrior ? Orlan Rouge ? We have alrady 5 companions there will be 8 ... what races, classes they should be .... share with us your ideas on these 3 companions

As i sad ARCANUM is ORIGINAL game (like FF7, Warcraft in my opinion) ... so vote "OTHER" and say what and why ....I DON"T HAVE PLACE TO PUT EVERY POSSIBLE game on the planet, in my opinion arcanum players also whoud answer "BG" ... but if you want ARCANUM SO BADLY THEN SELECT OTHER ..... Genius ......

Arcanum was the grat game, but i don't have palce for putting it to poll (if i had posibility there will be 23 answer possible) If anyone what ARCANUM please select OTHER Arcanum in my opinon is simullar BG, i whanted some other possibilitys ...mass effect, Dragonage, Vamparie masquarade alll difffrent games but still popular rpgs i i had place i whould also place diablo, tample of elemental evil etc. i onle put then becouse of popularity ..... i do't what enywon to be ofended ... if you favorite game is not included please select "OTHER" and say what this game is ....

I dlated mass efect fot TES games sorry

Like above vote and tell us what mechanics and Which game do you hope Project Eternity is most like?

Ad what about politics should are charactor be involved in international potilics or ony lokal ? :D

And what about plots and politic ? Let's say that you OWN a stronghold, some neighbor dude may think to quickly concouer your stronghold and making it's HIS. If you own stronghold some peasants may ask you for your protection ... etc for politics .. And for plots, let's say that you and few other Archmages are canditades for Gulidmaster ... killing ech other, intimidaiting, sending them to jail fabricaiting papers of theirs crimes etc.... In my opinion Gulids shoud be consistant to the storyline and even be required becouse if we separete gulids and storyline then people will be gulid quests or main storyline .... And if joining gulid don't impact story line this is only consolation prize (NWN2 gulids not adding anything to the game), and not big goal Secondry i can't belive how single character that was stable boy can become powerful mage even without teachers etc ? miracle or blessed by the gods ? Besides, if there are guilds they have the most gold and influence and power (they are political players) so sensible to join them and use some of their power than to look for it between the stones in the woods.

Why not ? I can tell you why Yes : 1. If we are talking about role playing game that requaiers not only player but other people then politics, war for influences between citys should be normal thing like eating cakes or singing in wood becouse thats normal part of the WORLD and not 1 person game ... 2. This can be wery fun if it's done right, rouges shoud relly like this sistem, putting dagger in someones chest, poisoning his food, stoleing some importan papers, intimidaiting and obtaining influences in this way whoud be much more better for rouges, thieves etc then running woods etc. 3. This shoud be a wery good oportunity also for mages, mages can be powerfull (not only tanks or bomb like war machines) charactors they can easly fight with other mages for gaining more power or influences and knowledge.... 4,. This shoud put some realism to the game, no more 1 men army that is most powerfull person on earth an care only for wondering woods and rescue cats by pulling them from trees and helping kill some rats or wolfes 1000000000 time ina a row....

Then haw 6 men can win a fight with stronger and better prepared enemy (and im gessing why will fight some) prapobly leading an army ....in BG character was lacky in my opinion he don't facestronger enemy until he gain hes own power and was killing major enemys one by one ... and this game was desined to do so... but what if some powerfull force can cruch you like a bug ... and 1 reason they don't do this is becouse they are not affraid of you ... Besides the D&D design that makes you feel like most powerfull being on the planet killing dragon in 1 hand and demigod in other is a bitt to childish (no offence) I like idea that im not only living powerful person but theres planty of them ...

This topic is about most conserning me "Gulids and organizations". This topic is NO about IF you whant them in game becouse they will but they can be presented in many ways. My dream of project eternity is that the gulids/fractions will make a huge impact on world and player himself. For example i allway think that "one man army" idea in D&D games (when player and his companions almost conguer whole world, kill anywon and almost play role of demigods ) I mean that in whole world where lives not only player and his companions and where filled with influencial characters/ mages, warriors, nobles, merchants etc. They will propably make own gulids and fractions to have more power (group of people should be allways stronger then 1), It will all goes down to politics and silent war/conflict for influence. In my opinion joining those type of gulids whould not only be "join able" but this must be absolutely necessary not for pushing storyline-forward-only but for gaining your own political influence, greatly enhance our capabilities and the availability of resources. We alrady now that there will me stronghold, so why not gulid related-stronghold. Mage hold for mages, Knight Hold for fighters and paladins etc. For example we have wery powerfull enemy, he has his own political influences, and ONLY posibility to win this kinf of battle is to make your own political power. For interested i sugest to watch "Game of thrones" or read a : A Song of Ice and Fire George R. R. Martin Whould you like to advance from stable boy to noble powerfull mage ? You want every mage in world to know you and power of you spells and wisdom ? You want evry who can hold a sword be insired by your's strength, heroism, courage, and skills? If any want the same please suport this topic ... Thank for attention.

NwN (D&D) system of moralytis in my opinnion is bad written. I show you 2 paradoxes. 1. Evli and good is often dependent on witch side are YOU on. The funny thing is that in SKYRIM in civil-war storyline ( and not D&D) You have 1 side Imerials and 2 side stormcloats. Evry side is right, every side has it's own argumentation and morality but non of them is "Evil". So basacly imperial think that stormcloats are evil and stormcloats think that imperial are evil. 2. "Neutral charachters" is so unrealistic when there evil or good. Becouse evil and good are allways fighting or at least arguing. So if you are with us or aginst us. In this terms "Neurals" are only lesser good or lesser evil nothing more (And we judgeing them with what side (good,evil) thay have more similarities). Playing Switzerland is almost imposible Especially when the "good" and "evil" conduct so serious that the fight that everybody id affected by it such as "destroy the world" So basicly wheres god there must be evil and wheres evil theres allways good, they are basicly other sides of the same coin. In Gothic 1 or 2 there where no judges, there where evil but in some way they done this game that you character never is bad or good (he has his sins and he has done some good things) and i respect them. Morality system like "lawful good or chaotic evil" is wery shallow becose you are evil or good only if theres a judges (You can be judge, writer that wrote storyline can be judges, even npc can be judges. And for Frank "invaders" are "Evil" but for Sally they are "Good" ... Why ? Bocose Frank lose much money bocouse of their invasion and they gave his money to Sally ..... simple but that's how the world works... Only PURE Evil or PURE good is posible for demons or angels (even they servants can be FORCED to obey them) This is the one of the reasons i loved ORCs form Warcraft, before they broke free they where consider as "Chaotic Evil" (becouse they where forced to obey demons) but when they broke free (at least some of them) they shown that even a race consider as chaotic evil can have their own motivations and it's not "pure evil" .... The same is for any other race or character in game. IF : 1. IF there are no JUDGES ther are no good or evil. 2. Pure neutrality is only possible when there are no judge 3. If there are no close reprezentivs of pure good and evil (Angel, Demon) the good or evil only depends to the point of standing (example Sally and Frank)

I'm to, but i don't play with it becouse i have polish language version and when i hear polish voices with engish voices.... lets say it don't fitt together But theres another to musisc "Fan made" or at least with artis permision for adding their music to mode (so prapobly amatours) Thes two ar desined for dragon fights ... when i hear it... it's just EPIC. And fighing with this is just Beautyfulll ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyCFuP3rM2w And secound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDE2VQzghp4 And from that moment I am absuletly 100% for metal music for boss-fights...

Yeah fully fanmade(I think ), theres even mode for adding this music to the game

And what about SINGING muscics ? Dovakiin from skyrim, malukah version (example) (amatour) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Qd0dYrEL0 And i found something like this what do you think ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y8H2r4f7eo

And heres some Slavic Folk examples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jAhNO4f_5M&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT1z0RrWvTk

By the way if someone is interted in English lirics of Herr Manneling Here you go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2kc570KwUs&feature=related

Heh, I'm a big fan of Garmarna's version of Herr Mannelig Garmarna is one of the very few "real" groups I listen to, mostly I just listen to game/movie soundtracks. Although it's been quite some time now since a movie soundtrack managed to grab me, they mostly just use boring underscore stuff. So it's mostly game soundtracks So We have 2 track Alrady In Extromo For BOSS Fights and Garmarna's version for tavern or other "Epic" moments hehe .. Herr Mannelig (From Wikipedia) And some from witcher Beautyfull ........song. (Sexual Content if your not 18 pleas don;t complain ) And faghting song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjsXxZiz0co&feature=relmfu

Heres Some Few examples i whouldlike to see IN game (Not nesseserly singed but it whould be nice ) In Extromo: Herr Manneling (perfect for boss fight or in softer wersion even tavern music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eaQEgzZ-pQ And Soft Elf music from Spellforce as contrast (Wery good for tamples, holy places etc) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mak9W17J3k All this is only examples Also Gothic 3 is example for very good music:)

300 000 and 4 hours to achieve this .... Only thing we need to achieve this is Ultralisk rush, Rocky Balboa, Chuck Norris ...or ....Elmisnter

By the way i'm not planning a 1 post topic. As i said before give your sugestions about Mechanic of this Influence system, You whan linear system like "This character allways betray you if etc" and let desiners wrote that for you or you whant yourself make an impact on those interactions. You want system like from 100 to -100 ? You whanna Alpha Protocol system ? NWN2 system ? BG System ? Dragon Age system ? And by saying "impact on those events" i meat that character that has 100 will love you and never betray you (but he can steal from you) and a character that has -100 will rush on you thinking about killing you .... It's sad that people they care more about stronholds, exp gaining or weapon/ armor then one of the most importan acpect od CRPGs, Human, common or uncommon interactions......

The purpose of this survey is to show whether you would like to deep relationships in the game or not. This survey relates to such things as romance, love, fear, recpect, frendship or pure hate. It is not about whether the individual components as will or will not apear like "Do you like romances in games" or "do you like friendships in game". It's about WHOLE influence system as one of the game mechanics. We not talk about adding romances etc. We talk about adding influence system even without romances. This topic is not written just to prove that you whant or don't like "romances" or "Sex" in P:E. It's about complex relationships, personal motivations and complexity of human nature. For a perfect example for this system is Alpha Protocol and in some ways Neverwinter Nights 2 system (but not so good in my opinion). In AP we have complex system where friendship or respect will grant you some benefits but also If someone HATE you it also will grand you some benefits (but completly diftent) My goal is to demonstrate Does the complicated relationship like "Enemy that respects you" or "Party member is planning to murder you". It's obvious to me that if you are playing as "lawful good" and you have party member that is "Chaotic evil" then his will always disagree with you and his hate for you will grow day by day will somday will betray you when you least expect thrusting a dagger where it hurts hardest. In other han if you play as "Chaotic Evil" a paladin from your team might jump to comclusion that "World is better without you" and atack you. Im waiting for you answers An please by nice
