Voidbearer Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This strikes me as a new IP, as the numbers appear to be a countdown. This will most likely be a fantasy RPG, as they have the more cryptic messages. Personally, I am praying for a D&D 3.5e Greyhawk game, but I suspect this will be a completely new world, with a completely new mythos. As long as players can buy/build houses ala NWN 2, I will be intrigued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_goat Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I would do anything for something like Sandman / Lucifer inspired setting, with gods/demi-gods/angel/demon politics. Roaming through hell, heaven and other planes of forgotten deities would be pretty cool and something not yet exploited by rpg's. Something where destroying or saving worlds would not be ultimate goal of the game but means to gain influence and would not be as significant because, from eternal point of view, there would always be others to play with;) One can only hope, though.

WorstUsernameEver Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I sure don't hope it will be a fantasy RPG. We have The Elder Scrolls and that would be enough. What. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majek Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's TORN. Anyway, whatever it is, i hope there is not saving the world involved. Saving a town or county or duchy ok, saving a country/kingdom is barely acceptable. But saving the world is bad. :| 2 1.13 killed off Ja2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightclubdoll Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Ouroboros (the self-devouring snake/dragon) is an old world symbol, present in many cultures from ancient Egypt and Greece to old Norse to the Middle Ages. It's also a symbol tied to alchemy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros Also, there is this Norse reference to a goddess, Eir. (She's like a valkyrie Florence Nightengale.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eir And then NeoGAF had this to add (found in "the page source") Edited September 12, 2012 by fightclubdoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beetfunchic Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm going to start chanting "Planescape!" slowly now... then intensifying by the minute until X hits the spot. I didn't even think about PS:T before someone mentioned it a while back here, but now it all makes sense. All the weaving and all the cross-referencing mentions of mythos. Ouroboros fits Planescape better than anything else. I just hope this is the real deal. One of the best RPG's of all time just might end up getting a sequel. Goosebumps of grandeur... here we come. And for god's sakes bring on the burning man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
