(4) What do the words mean?

[Enoch]

Seeing as the series has already seen roughly 4 metric tons of text, I'm actually rather surprised that there are fans still wanting more Wheel of Time content.

[Pidesco]

The Nasal epic, however, is still unwritten, and waiting brave discovery.

[beetfunchic]

Icewind Plane: Dale of torment. With 5 hours of random sneezing sounds for unparalleled nasal action soundscape complete with industry standard eerie howling winds.

When you get to a tavern you can drink your *warm ale +2,5* you will cease to cough and you will be able to choose other dialogue options aside from the usual:

1. (cough)

2. *COUGH*

3. [sneeze]

4. \cataclysmic outburst of unnatural fluids/

 

So it becomes a less-than-sober journey trough the numerous taverns of the Dale of Nasal Winds and you will finish the game by drudging trough the massive amounts of

dialogue, which will unravel itself only when you are able to get your hands on a warm ale and push the hectic coughing and sneezing aside for a fleeting moment.

It can also be known as: Icewind Flu: Cough it up. This also explains why the central character is known as the nameless one. He has forgotten his name due to excessive amounts

of cough medicine also known as *warm ale* / *spirits of the yesteryear* / *whiskey in a jar* / *Irenicus' flu-repellant* / *infernal herb-juice* / *wine-kept-in-a-room-temperature*

The game comes to a close when the character utters his last wish: "i don't ever want to be cold again" - and he is turned into a Smoldering Corpse.

These concepts sound more interesting than anything Obsidian will ever come up with. Someone's gotta hire you presto.

A viking RPG would be great too. Probably better than that Banner Saga KS project. :D

 

What is with people and vikings? Didn't you get enough of that **** with Skyrim?

I dislike first person RPGs. The only Elder Scrolls game i played was Daggerfall and its was horrible. I will never play another, even if someone pays me to play it.

You should play Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines if you haven't already. Could change your mind on that stance.

Can't wait to find out what these guys are up to.

The oracle of Google mentions not the wheel of time, when these statements are put to it.

[protocol]

Some google searches on Watcher and Eternity point to Highlander. O_o

 

...which happens to be Scottish, which matches the whole "plaid" thing (Scottish) in that comment that was posted earlier (twitter, was it?).

Highlander RPG would be awesome. But really none of these quotes I feel have anything to do with Highlander at all.

 

And how boring would it be to play as a Watcher in the Highlander universe? They don't do anything.

No. It never appealed to me so i see no reason to try playing it.

Fine then. See if I care. I was only trying to be helpful.

Watchers are fairly prominent figures in the Wheel of Time series. It may end up not being the case, but the world serpent, combined with the use of the term "Watcher," combined with us having knowledge that Obsidian is working, at least in part, on Wheel of Time RPGs, means if I were a betting man, I would go with the reveal being a WoT game.

I'd be okay with a WoT RPG. I haven't read the books, but I enjoyed the WoT game from Legends Entertainment.

 

I'm okay with everything from Obsidian, except a Dungeon Siege 4 or some stupid WH40K game.

Don't diss on Banner Saga, bro.

[DoctorM]

Highlander would fit but I think theres another way to look at it. Many of the proper nouns have a very celtic composition and sound. Combine this with the Viking imagery of the serpent I could see this being a new IP centered around a fantasy version of England in the late 700's to early 800's where you have first a Viking invasion but then a blending of culture when the Vikings settle and start to mingle with the native English. Of course, this would have to take place near northern England because the rest of England had shifted to germanic language and culture and forced out the native Celts.

[HoonDing]

There's actually a canceled Highlander game, and guess what, Squeenix was the publisher for it.

No, Watchers are not fairly prominent figures in WoT. The Amyrlin Seat has the title of Watcher of the Seals (an honorific since the Aes Sedai haven't had the seals for nearly 1000 years), the Watchers over the Waves got about three mentions before the Seanchan killed them for "watching for the wrong thing and forgetting what should have been remembered" and Moridin/Ishmael was referred to as the Watcher for about three or four chapters before being outed as Moridin. That's it, the only "Watchers" in WoT.

[Zoraptor]

Watchmen RPG, clearly. Who Watchers the Watchermen?

 

Or maybe a Pratchett/ Sapkowski crossover featuring Sam Geralt of Ankh-Rivia.

I'd prefer a Pratchett/Games Workshop crossover featuring Orks. Just Orks.

[mtp403]

When I heard the word "Watcher" I immediately thought of (the television show) Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, followed by the Watchers from Candlekeep (of Baldur's Gate). Obviously, one of those is quite a bit more likely than the other.

 

Also, does anyone think that "Eternity" (or whatever the x's and .'s turn into) is just going to be the codename for the project? Like maybe they are calling it Eternity because its going to use a re-worked (or successor) version of the Infinity Engine...

Except, of course, for Tel'aran'rhiod, which has plenty of (lower case w) watchers. And if only one of the the "Watchers" you mentioned had something "weighty" hanging around their neck, like a shawl, perhaps...? And then of course the similarity of 2 to the opening stanza of every WOT book, discussing the constant, unstoppable turning of the wheel/world.

 

Don't have any idea if it's WOT or not, but I don't think it can be dismissed as easily as some are trying to.
