Next thing you know you'll be pirating games for the sake of communism. Stop this at once! If it were't for rich people, there wouldn't be any order, progress and civilization! Rich people care about you, they pay you their money, etc.

NOBODY has described how it is so far. Jesus Christ people. Just give me your steam account for a couple of hours and I'll write at least SOMETHING. This is ridiculous. "Oh yeah yeah it's good". - IN WHAT WAY!!!!? "Oh yeah it's like fallout you know?". -- NO I DON'T KNOW. BE MORE SPECIFIC!! It's like we're dealing with a secret society here. COME ON SAY SOMETHING!!

It says "noir", but it's actually wannabe-neonoir. If you don't even know the terms, how can you abide by them? I hope it fails. Throwing terms you don't even understand means you've no idea what you're talking about and doing.

Wow. Probably the smartest video game industry analysis I've heard in years.

Sounds like a tryhard copy of witcher by another slavic (need I say more?) studio. Withcer already being a boring ****.

I'm so fed up with everyone's pathetic attempts at copying world of warcraft. They make a wow-clone, it doesn't become THE NEW WOW and then it dies. Can't they get a clue? Are they so ball-less as to try something new at all? I'm so fed up with CEOs and marketing department running things. Alright, idiots, here's how a new MMO should be and I promise you it will bring you money if that's all you care about. Let me spell it out for you. 1) Sandbox. Nobody knows what that means, so let me tell you. It's when you've created so many game mechanics, that people can just spontaneously create adventures on their own. So forget about manufacturing wow-style quests wholesale. Here's what you do. 2) Hard and Unbalanced. Whoever gave you the idea that everyone should win? It's a game, not a politically correct speech. A mage can have the flying spell and others can just suck on it. Rogues can steal things from you and you can just suck on it. As a side not, right now rogues are different from other classes only cause they have poison and stealth. Ridiculous. Rogues must steal stuff from your pockets and get away with it, at least sometimes. They must be able to steal valuables from mobs. Like mage scrolls. Which reminds me... Mages learn spells from mage school? Since when is magic so casual and uncool? What is it - Harry Potter? Mages should learn spells from scrolls. Scrolls should be super hard to come by and some spells should be known by a mere 10-15 mages in the whole world. That's cool. Having a spell that pinpoints the location of any item in the world, even if it's in somebody's pockets? Having a flying spell? That is what being mage is about, not spamming icebolt like everyone else. 3) That brings me to the next point which is NO SOULDBOUND ITEMS. Soulbound is the teddy bear of mmos. World pvp is meaningless without loot drop. I'm not saying all items should drop - maybe let just ONE thing drop when you're killed. And then give rangers or rogues or druids the ability to track people. You call your friend ranger from your guild, then get some buddies who were otherwise occupied and together your follow your killer in his footsteps, maybe it's gonna be a trap or maybe you're going to find him crawled up in some sewer and punish him hard. In any case, it's going to be an adventure. 4) If loot can be dropped, then everyone is going to kill everyone, yeah? WRONG if you make death meaningful too. Death means loss of experience. Not just a little, but a real fkn loss. What, you think experience loss will discourage people and they won't play your game? WRONG again. Millions play DotA and LoL, and they experience so much butthurt as I've never experienced in my life. And yet they continue playing. Your marketing department is lying to you, so make death painful and meaningful. 5) Remember those ASCII rogue-like games where your enemy was represented by a sign, like $. You couldn't see what he's wearing, if he's dangerous or not. Well guess what, we're back to THAT. Right now, everyone is a shiny Christmas tree with lamps. They had this thing where you could see how the person was dressed in vanilla wow, but that's knowledge long lost, apparently. 6) No instanced dungeons. It creates competition. Here's an example on a smaller scale. We have 5 locations and 5 guilds. Guild#1 farms locations #1, #2, #3 and #4. Guild#2 farms location #5. Guilds #3, #4 and #5 DON'T FARM ANYTHING. And all those guilds want to change the situation, to shift it in their favor. Alliances will be created, treasons, infiltrations, promises and broken promises, huge battles, real friendships, real socializing. 7) Meaningful craft. Right now you implement crafting just to be able to say that the game has crafting. Make it important. For example, one class is pure crafter, others can craft too, but not as good. The crafter class will build barricades, place traps, craft such armor that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else, something legendary. It'd be extremely rare. Only 10 people in the world would be able to be such crafters, but that's ok. Make crafting cool again. If you're a leatherworker and you know how to make boots, why are you only allowed to make them from a restricted pre-generated list?! As you travel, you come across a rare animal. You fight it, manage to kill it, skin it and make boots from its hide. Only when you make them, do you discover their potential. That's called interesting. 8 ) Not everyone wins. People don't need to WIN in order to want to play, they need to have a theoretical possibility to win and then they'll play and imagine that some day they'll be as awesome as gods in this game. Most of them won't, but it doesn't matter, because they'll all try. 9) Anything with realism in it. Since when is unrealistic mechanics considered cool? If **** bounce in real life, they should also bounce in the game, right? Well then why are you constantly making unrealistic mechanics, unrealistic craft, unrealistic class difficulty, unrealistic death, unrealistic instances of dungeons, unrealistic loot drop? Enough. Believe me, if you made one realistic mechanic that isn't in any other wow-clones, like territories (such as orgrimmar) that could be controlled by players who would get a percentage from all the trade going on in that town, just THAT option would get you so much attention you'd be swimming in money. Alright. Now GO AND MAKE IT FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I'm disappointed in almost every KS even though I don't back them all. I see videos and those games are just awful.

GREAT. -_-' Two things. 1) They started APOLOGIZING before even saying what the IP was. Clearly it's an IP unfit for RPG. And they're already trying to say "no no no, it's ok, it'll be just fine". Clearly it won't. 2) They're going to make a stupid Titan Quest-like grinder with their engine, make it "pseudo-openworld", for NO REASON other than that openworld is supposedly trendy right now. Yeah, that's some proper motivation. To say I'm disappointed would be nothing. I'm searching for an example of how stupid it is, but you need to be a ****ing master of the universe to find a metaphor of comparable power. Aw for ****'s sake...!........... This is ridiculous....... No, THIS I won't back, thank you very much.

What is "RUH(hic)anger" supposed to mean? Ok. Ranger. Got it. It doesn't sound remotely the same, hence my problem to even understand it. -_-'

One subtle hidden reference? NOOO, let's insert 3 times a giant fat ****ing meme that's been old for years now. Yeah, it's very hip or so I hear. Very trendy! The youth responds well to this kind of thing I've been told! What a ****ing joke....... Brian, what the hell?

And a pink sex toy for a $75 pledge.

If you're saying that I'm paranoid, then know this - I'M NOT.

Considering that Obsidian are ready to work even for dirty commies with their cheap ridiculous mmos that look like browser games to make money, I think it stands to reason that they're indeed very greedy and have no moral principles. Now this means that this poll might actually be their way to probe which setting would draw MORE MONEY if they kickstarted it. Who is this Arcoss with 18 posts? Obviously a fake. That's fine with me, though. Looks like it's gonna be a sci-fi original IP with RTwP. I'm ready to back.

Hahahaha!

TESO = not sandbox mmo = doomed to fail.

Most people who voted TB don't even understand what it is, confusing it with rtwp. Others just heard TB must be some RPG hardcore thing. Neither of the two groups actually played a TB game. A small part of those who voted actually played and understood the concept. Ridiculous.

Well ****... Never saw such a genuine fake. Whoever did it is an attention whore of mega proportions.

Nevermind, got it from somewhere else.

I'm interested in making a mod with a custom font. Putting "normal.bam" in the override folder doesn't work anymore, so I'm looking for a new way. In baldur.ini there are interesting lines 'Fonts', 'ko_KR', 'UNBOM', 'Fonts', 'zh_CN', 'SIMSUN', 'Fonts', 'ja_JP', 'MSGOTHIC', 'Fonts', 'ru_RU', 'PERMIAN', 'Fonts', 'uk_UA', 'PERMIAN', In the multi-language version of the game, there are files such as ...... Gate Enhanced Edition/lang/ja_JP/fonts/MSGOTHIC.bmp (4.0M) Unfortunately I don't have a multi-language version. Adding a line to baldur.ini 'Fonts', 'en_US', 'TEST', does the trick in changing the font the game uses. I made an empty file and put it in /lang/en_US/fonts/TEST.bmp and it changed all the letters to empty spaces in game. So this does work. Unfortunately I can't imagine what the proper structure of such a bmp file should be. Does anyone have a multi-language version please? I need to have a look at those .bmp files.

Has anyone got a non-english version? I'm interested in font files that looks like /lang/ja_JP/fonts/MSGOTHIC.bmp or PERMIAN.bmp from russian version, or any other font file from any other version.

That's called Dolby Surround, you either turn off in-game 3D sound or buy a proper sound system... But there's no such option in-game. How do I turn it off? There's no baldur.ini like there used to be. Found baldur.ini but there's no such option.

UGGGHHHHH. Remember how your spells button or special abilities button used to be golden when you had spells or special abilities and grey when you had none? Well NOW IT'S ALWAYS GREY.

Can't change their ugly font that they bought on the first font site on google for 10 bucks... can't change it to anything else from the mods because now their modified infinity engine refuses to use fonts from "normal.bam" in the override folder. And that's been a problem since BG1EE. And they didn't do **** to fix it.

The casting spell voices sound "dulled down", like they're coming from behind the corner or something. And they sound way too quite compared to other sound effects. I cast "haste" - I can barely hear the spell words and then I'm deafened by the sound of the spell being applied to the target. And I can't even change this **** because both casting voices and spell effects are on the same setting bar. What the ****! I remember Trent Oster complaining about how "the sound code is very bad and it's a surprise that it works". Well IT WORKED, and now it DOESN'T.
