Do you think Project Eternity HAS to be as good as our old loved IE rpgs? or, even better, top 3 rpg of the decade?

You have to vote in each of the sections.

[BSoda 75]

That's a pretty redundant poll, isn't it ? Do I really want a good game is what you're asking.

 

 

Of course.

Damn it! Why? I don't think that's how it should be working. Do I have to make just one question and all the choices there?

[Wintersong 203]

Having all the answers in one group only would also be good. There is no real need for them to be in different groups.

Yes you do.

You ask a question and provide possible answers to choose from.

The poll as it stands asks three questions.

 

 

Edit:

Think of it this way:

If there cannot be two skies, how can there be three sepparate questions in this poll ?

I would like to think that at the very least, it'll be as good as the old IE games. They have a very experienced team, and are striving to take some of the best aspects from all the IE games... so there's really no reason (besides nostalgia) why Project Eternity shouldn't be equal, if not better.

Top 3 RPG of the decade is practically a given, given how bad RPGs these days typically are.

[Jasede 427]

Top 3 RPGs of the decade? That's a given; all the RPGs released now a terrible garbage. Even if they made a sloppy, half-assed game it'd still be in my top 3 because we can't expect any real RPGs from the mainstream.

Another borked up poll.

Are you sure? The Banner Saga, Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns... maybe we are lucky and Top 3 RPG of the decade actually becomes a real challenge.

Thing is, this decade has only just begun. So there is a lot that can still happen

I'd also add Dead State to that list.

[Lord Balgeron 13]

If you mean decade as past 10 years, well Witcher 2 was pretty good. Skyrim and Dark Souls as well, though they sucks in story of course. And there was also NWN2:Motb and KotoR. But of course in my opinion none of them stand a chance against PS:T , bar the Witcher 2, which unfortunately was lacking in only one thing - length.

[Wintersong 203]

I'd also add Dead State to that list.

True, lot can happen yet in this new decade. :D

 

I forgot about Dead State because I didn't actually back it (bad timing) but it also looks promising. I saw today a new old-school RPG (or maybe two) by Brenda Bradwaite and Tom Hall in Kickstarter. And many more (hopefully) will come in the next years, Kickstarter or not.

I couldn't make my self vote. Broken poll and a weird set of questions.

Man I thought the answers I made were fine , I mean, if only the poll worked the way I thought it would, but it didn't lol, sorry

Yeah, I almost think I see what the poll was getting at, but there's no accurate way to answer it.

 

OP should fix the poll.

[Hornet85 83]

I am not expecting the game to be another Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale. If I want to play Baldur's Gate I'll go play Baldur's Gate. There's no reason why PE needs to emulate those game.

 

PE will be a new cRPG game, all I expect is a game who's quality stands on its own. PE should be that new girlfried you love for who she is herself, without the need to compare her to all your previous ex-girlfriends

[Ieo 1,148]

I'll ignore the poll questions/answers since they're broken anyway.

 

The "as good as" cannot be answered as a unified whole because every player has different priorities when enjoying a game. Just looking at the IE Trifecta games is a good example: IWD (mechanics), BG (exploration), PS:T (story). If I'm after exploration and story, I would not care if combat is "better" than the IE games (I'm not sure how it can be better or worse except "different"). If someone else is after the IWD experience, then they're going to obsess over the mechanics.

 

There's no way to answer the poll. (At least, if we're being honest and not after cloning, like Vancian purists... )

[Amentep 5,855]

I don't think it HAS to be as good as any game.

 

I want it to be good when I play it though.

[Ignatius 95]

I'm just happy to play a game like this again. As good as BG2 was, it was getting a bit stale.

 

No, seriously. How amazing is this!? I don't know why people aren't just celebrating. My god, IE brought back from the dead, better than ever, how could this be bad? It's not like Jay Wilson is running the show. Yeesh. (Poor, Jay.)

Ya but you forget we're going to die in like 2 months because crazy apocalyptic superstition.

[FreezingShock 4]

No, I definitely don't expect this game to be just as good as the old games. I expect it to be good, of course; it's made by Obsidian, I'd be terribly surprised if it wasn't. But I'm not going to expect it to live up to the games it is claiming to be inspired by, for those truly are some of the best RPG's ever and assuming that this game will live up to their name just seems like a great way to set myself up for disappointment later on.

[Dostro89 2]

The potential is definately there, especially without an evil publisher handing around in the background, the devs can feel a little less pressured and if they need to delay by a few months and not rush it.

Shame I feel sorry for the Op because his intentions were good. But I won't vote on this type of question until this poll is fixed or someone else creates a working one
