Since the game will be a series revolving around the world of Project Eternity, it could be given the general name of the world first, before subtitling the actual name of the game. Known examples are Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate: Shadows of the Amn. So my own two cents for the title would be: Age of Eternity: The Watchers

Word of mouth can successfully bring you to Minecraft's success. I don't believe they actually concerted any active marketing effort.

While in formation, give characters positioned in parts of the formation certain bonuses? Something similar to Last Remnant which has lots of formations and actually has impact on gameplay. For example the wall formation could provide the units lined in the first row extra defensive bonuses while the units in the back row are granted with slightly better magical/range damage. Or the pincer formation grants the front unit better defense at the expense of attack damage while the flanking units are given attack bonus. This will only occur so long as the units are within their formation. Just throwing out ideas here. edit: Looks like similar ideas were already mentioned.

Chrono Trigger's Magus for the win.

An inspired Dark Sun races would be cool. Half-giants. Insect men. Half-dwarves.

And have a chance to end up like this?

Or this. If Eternity includes oriental inspired race.

I thought there was one time the forum hosted a list of Icewind Dale pics for use as avatars. What happened?

Obsidian will be burdened with more work on the armor appearance since they have will have to create even more variations to fit the different sizes. Currently they have to build three different variations for each three different races who may already have different body shapes. For example, if we have to add skinny, obese, heavy body sizes, that means 9 different armor variations Obsidian will have to create for each race. Now we're hitting the 1.8 million anytime soon, that will be 5 races meaning 15 different armor variations for each race. In short, that's ALOT of resources to put in for this cosmetic feature and we may end up with fewer item varieties. Its not that I don't like the feature. Its a great idea, but I rather like to see it being implemented in sequels where we could focus more on aesthetics than on the game engine which is pretty much a higher priority in my opinion.

I'm fine with firearms. Plus I trust Obsidian. I voted yes.

Reminds me of Berserk. Always a good thing.

I would thought they'll strip the middle wares from the Onyx engine to the bones like South Park. I kind of have little faith in Obsidian dealing with other people's engines...

JE Sawyer on formspring We'll have another update later today.

Aren't some of those Icewind Dale 2 portraits? Awesome stuffs. I love him to come back and do them again.

Its the journey that matters, not the destination.

Those were the days. I support this idea.

I wonder what's the budget for the game? With the kickstarter fever died down, it will be a challenge to raise the obscene amount of money like Tim and Brian did.

I need a time machine now just to see what happens on Friday.

Obsidian's very own kickstarter game maybe?

As your character progresses, the title changes from Douchebag to Butthole. Apparently the whole point is for your character to attain the "cool" status. Hence the tag "The quest to be cool."

I believe a few years ago there was a leak of the Van Buren tech play demo. http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=892 Try it though I heard its got a love for crashing.

1) Obsidian needs time to plan and create a kickstarter proposal with concept arts, vision document, some possible screenshots to offer, as well as the finding out the costs of production to propose the amount of monies to raise. 2) Finding the right time to propose kickstarter. Right now many people are saying they are drained of monies due to Wasteland 2 and DFA kickstarter program. Also the manpower issue since Obsidian is busy with projects at the moment. 3) Probably want to continue observing other kick starters and learning how they work so Obsidian could launch a fault free kick starting event before they make a move.

3 settings I really love to see them materialized: Cthulhu Mythos Arkham_Horror_revised_box.jpg I just recently got the digital version of the board game "Elder Signs: Omen". Despite the gameplay simply a direct translation of the board game itself, I can't help but feel there's a strong potential it could become a proper RPG games. The range of characters you can select to form a party of 4 investigators, each of them unique and appeared to have distinct personalities, in the game helped me to be immersed and feel attached to characters despite being in a blank slate. Imagine if Obsidian's talents is used to fill the slate. The atmosphere of the game is great, plus some time based mechanics also brings a sense of urgency to the gameplay.

Yeah. Last I heard Obsidian burns through 1 million per month in expenses.

I agree that its not a sustainable way on kickstart. But its one way for Obsidian to finally own their own original IP that if successful, it can be used as a source of bread and butter in the long run through digital downloads ect. In addition, Obsidian could do more in some ways due to their existing facilities like mo-cap studio and sound engineers, as well as the Onyx engine albeit a dumbed down version.
