September 12, 201213 yr It fits, if all dots are vowels and X's are consonants. Just a thought, also fits with the whole ouroboros thing.
September 12, 201213 yr IDtenT from the Codex figured out something different: Every X means a letter, and that letter means a number which is based upon their place in the alphabet. X.XX.TX is X.XX.20X. An examplet B.AA.TM = 2/11/2013 So the Xs mean a release date. J_C from Codexia

X.XX.TX is X.XX.20X. An examplet B.AA.TM = 2/11/2013 So the Xs mean a release date. I think this as well....the Xs will likely change gradually one by one until we are left with what is essentially a release date.
September 12, 201213 yr well, here are my guesses, X.XX.TX is X.XX.20X, if the last one is years, and the middle is month, then X.1X.20X, because there is no "0" in alphabet, so, i would say that at november/december the game will be fully announced, also, if the X at the beggining its not the day but the month, is probably a 9, maybe this friday, they will announce it. But, it could also be eternity, the name of project/game, assuming that the . at the beggining is not meaningless and the other ones are not just for separating the numbers Edited September 12, 201213 yr by Risen
September 12, 201213 yr Interesting new idea, though the pattern ". X . X X . T X" starts off with a period
September 12, 201213 yr Also, the only words in the english language to match the pattern are acerbity, alacrity, enormity, eternity and identity. Imo, only Eternity sounds epic enough to be a fantasy RPG title and also works well with the ouroboros.

Could mean an all digital release if he/she is right and the code is a release date. Oh, and two games released in less than a month. SP: TSoT comes out on the 5th of March. Doesn't seem too likely.

He was using that date as an example of how the code works. He doesn't think that's what the release date is actually going to be.

Could mean an all digital release if he/she is right and the code is a release date. That was an example, not an actual decipher.

September 12, 201213 yr Nobody would ever put in a release date in the initial announcement. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
September 12, 201213 yr Maybe it is the date for the announcement which is being announced with this announcement. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
September 12, 201213 yr Maybe it is the date for the announcement which is being announced with this announcement. My brain, it is full of exploding.
September 12, 201213 yr I was wrong. The new code shows that it cannot be a date. Eternity is more likely. J_C from Codexia
September 12, 201213 yr Looks like I was right, then. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
September 12, 201213 yr Also, the only words in the english language to match the pattern are acerbity, alacrity, enormity, eternity and identity. Imo, only Eternity sounds epic enough to be a fantasy RPG title and also works well with the ouroboros. How about 'identity'? Could be a Torment spiritual sequel.
September 12, 201213 yr Considering http://kotaku.com/5935737/the-guy-who-made-planescape-torment-tells-us-what-a-spiritual-successor-would-look-like Chris Avellone: [Game development studio] Obsidian has talked about Kickstarter for some time. Not to put myself or Planescape down, but the range of ideas we've had internally for a KS are, IMO, better than doing a spiritual successor to Torment, and it involves more of the powerhouses in the studio rather than turning me into the Nameless One. I wouldn't be sure that it's already the spiritual successor to Torment. Also because Sawyer seems to be directing this one.
September 12, 201213 yr I like the idea of . and X being vowels and consonants, but how do you justify the Y? The Y at the end of "eternity" is a vowel. Excepting the Y situation, "eternity" is the only word I could find that fits that vowel/consonant pattern. If you give up on that, though, there's a lot of fun possibilities. Here's a few: iniquity capacity chastity divinity biscuits ****pits infinity dynamite fatality gunsmith humanity recruits impunity mesquite vitality nobility rarebits totality urbanity velocity transits opposite debility atrocity circuits
September 12, 201213 yr Well it is clearly biscuits then. We set sail on the Gravy Boat of Doom on Friday!
September 12, 201213 yr I like the idea of . and X being vowels and consonants, but how do you justify the Y? The Y at the end of "eternity" is a vowel. Y is a semivowel. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
September 12, 201213 yr Threads like these always get me more interested in the hype itself, rather than the game it is promoting. "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
