Messier-31

Would you like it zipped or rared?

Will PE run in windowed mode?

Lo and behold, the epic awesomeness of my superior fan-art picture attached to this message. Note: in terms of drawing I'm used to get along well with a pencil and paper, not software... ...thus the aforementioned picture is for the lulz; yes, of course I know Giant in the Playground (OOTS).

That sounds very... anime-like. Which I find hilarious, yet strangely compelling. (Also, the Icewind Dale series had some pretty stupid dialogue, too.) This is disturbing, but brings back memories... - Somebody set up us the bomb! - Main screen turn on. - All your base are belong to us!

Quite right. Did some research and it could be brown, dark gray, black, sometimes olive, orange, red, gold, blue... The color depends on the presence of hematite pigment or needle microcrystals, or the presence of some certain minerals like quartz. Uhh, okay, I better stop right there, or wikipedia will have some major competition. Anyhow, hearty congratulations, serdeczne gratulacje, srdečné blahopřání, and stuff like that. *cough* Carry on.

Ahoj Not only did you make a nice looking sword but added some lore to it. Nice job, although something made out of obsidian (huh, what are the odds?) should be more black.

You probably will not be mandatorily covered in sh**, and won't die by blood poisoning around the third encounter, so... nope Crap, back to the drawing board. But also you won't be experiencing this rejuvenating healing magic everywhere around, resurrections, tons of magic loot on every corner, so... huh

Agreed. I think we're going to be pleasantly surprized by how fresh and unique the setting is going to feel, at least. I don't know about you, but I haven't played that many RPGs with true historical european influences. But the way Josh describes it, it sounds like this is going to be a game that world history buffs are going to love. And that's something you can't say about the Infinity engine games. To be honest, from what I've seen Eternity has little to do with DnD, it is more WFRP related in terms of the world - this is my own observation! Still it has a medieval european background, but wasn't that known from day one? The reason I backed the project was that I'm totally in favor of such a setting. Also, I am an incorrigible optimist, I won't believe these cliche concepts will spoil the gameplay even for a bit. Furthermore, as far as I know there always is Torment: Tides of Numenera for all of you who long for a different game design. Please don't go "shun the non-believer!" on me Shuuuuuuuuuuuuunaaaahh...

Try "lavender".

Personally the warrior-mage multiclass was the only one I liked. But that could be easily changed into one solid class of a fighting spellcaster.

I don't see squat... is it just my browser? I used to draw stuff, but it's been quite a long time since I did it. Maybe in some future. I'll try not to make Project Eternity memes instead EDIT: Ha, found it on authors deviantart page (one angry woman): http://staplesart.deviantart.com/art/Cadegund-from-Project-Eternity-337192183

I have nothing against new concepts. But if we're talking about a classic fantasy cRPG based on good old IE games, then some things are "mandatory", I guess. I don't see anyone dissing the dwarves, I don't see anyone dissing the humans for that matter. Aren't they overused too? What makes the elves more dull than any other one of them? Pointy ears? True, I like the elves a lot, most of my characters were elven, but I'm excited about 3 (THREE) new races as well. You say elves could use at least a reboot, and that those new races are old ones made up different. So you have halflings, half-orcs and genasi completely anew. I doubt that all of the PE world races should be done from the scratch, don't you think? Changing the entire setting by brute force so it will be 101% completely different and distinguishable from the others? - come on. As some of you know I don't take kindly to monks in fantasy. But there's a lot more to choose from, so I gotta ignore it and have loads of fun with the rest of the game - which will be awesome anyway, m'right? High five?

I know it's a matter of opinion, buuuuuuuuut thankfully elves are here to stay You already have a bunch of new races: godlike, orlan and aumanabananarama. Just give it a go.

This just hit me, regarding the topic... ACHIEVEMENTS Those pesky buggers that seem to pop-up suddenly while doing your thing. You know: KILLA'! Slay 100 enemies, +5 pts. EVEN MORE KILLA'! Slay 300 enemies, +10 pts. WILY E. COYOTE Fail at setting 10 traps, lol, +5 pts. ANDREW GOŁOTA Punch 50 people in da face and flee, +5 pts. MASTA' OF DISASTA' Master a skill you suck at, +20 pts. LIVIN' ON A PRAYER Quicksave the game while being fatally hit, +99 pts. Who needs them? . . . ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! HYPOCRITE Talk sh#t about achievements on Obsidian forums, +10 pts.

Old proverb: no news is good news.

Common sense.

No.

Animated portraits? For me that's a waste of effort, a superfluous trinket. Also makes the custom portraits more difficult to do. A static portrait of BG / IwD type feels more art-like, and better works on your imagination. As for the GUI, plain and simple - which is a good thing and bad at the same time. Hard to give a unequivocal opinion.

That's not a bad idea. Though, I reckon it would be something to cater to people who like to collect stuff in games and play it to completion 100%+. (...) EDIT: An item that maybe has a 1 in a million chance (or more) of being found/dropped. Lottery in the vanilla... or modified to unlock easier~ Guys, this really isn't such a bad thing - but that sounds like a definition of an easter-egg. This jewel encrusted sword should be just a fancy-shmancy blade for decoration purposes, not a serious damage delaer, if you know what I mean. Put it on your stronghold wall, or sell it for 4x the amount of gold you woulda get from a common sword.

the horror.... the horror...

It's like "first world problems" all over again

Tell that to your boss, he'll be like "project whaaa?"

You just break my hearth now. Going to tell boss that I am depressed and cant work today anymore Come on, don't say you didn't saw that coming. They specifically stated that the update will be in "near future", not "next week".

You will probably be able to change that with custom portraits. I like where this is going. ad.1 - Giggity! ad. 2 - Monks. But seriously, would you rather have a new made-up race? There already are the godlike, orlan and... amaunabananarama. What about orcs and goblins, are these fantasy cliche monster races confirmed or not? Could use some greenskin slayin'. ad. 3 - Won't believe it untill I see it. Gonna wait for the game and check it out. ad. 4 - Slice up a monk, instead of a mook. You won't regret it. My quote from this other topic: "I kinda like the idea of not gaining XP from defeating foes. Makes you wanna avoid some combat situations and consider a different approach. I used to play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and we would be awarded with experience points just after some major events would be brought to an end. Not for every kill we would get, maybe just for some very important and story related boss's's's'sss... What I mean is that you play your role as in a theater, not simply hack n' slash everybody; there you put politicians." ad. 5 - As in all IE games, so as in PE. Besides, this isn't Fallout in (Some Other) Forgotten Realms. Even though Fallout was kewl. So, long story short: You are all wrong, and monks are to be shot at sight tee hee :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: j/k

After months of chasing your nemesis here you stand before him. These countless times when you were trying to survive his numerous attempts at reaching you with your guard down. And now you got him by the corner and feel determined to end this right now. But before that, questions appear in your mind, and you want to finally know the truth behind all of his schemes... which is almost finally revealed: - Ah, the hero has arrived. Splendid. Too bad this happens so late. - You won't get away with this! - As it was foretold... I shall finally tell you this thing I always tried to tell you. - Which is? - *deep breath* So a dwarf, human and elf walk into a bar...
