Fluffle Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Dear Obsidian Entertainment, Congratulation on your success at Kickstarters. Now that you are able to fund the game of my dreams, you will soon get a list from me of things you have to add to the game and things you must not add to it. I demand that you stay true to this list. Please do not add ANY options to the game, but specifically only make my wishes come true. This may sound selfish at first, but please hear me out: The deal is, I know best how to enjoy a game. The problem with options is the following: People will not be able to see the only way, my way, to enjoy this game. Options will make people confused. Options will make people go astray from the path of true enjoyment. Examples: 1) Should each level of the Mega-Dungeon have exits to the surface? No absolutely not. The only way, my way, to enjoy the adventures of a Mega-Dungeon, is the real competition of not having these exits. Now consider this: If you really added some exits in this dungeon on lower levels, people could become confuse and actually use them and thus turn away from the only true way, my way, to enjoy this game. Worse still, I could feel forced (!) to use these exits as well, and then I could not enjoy the game anylonger myself. This would be irresponsible. 2) The resting system. Let's have a look at Baldur's Gate for this. In Baldur's Gate it was possible to rest whenever you liked, refreshing, and thus setting back your spells. This however makes absolutely no sense, because people only sleep when they are tired! The problem once again is: When you do it like Baldur's Gate, people have choices. There are people who only rest when it makes sense from a roleplaying-view in the game. And there are people who abuse this system because they just want have an easy game, and get their spells back. Of course, the only way is to make sure that everyone enjoys the game the most, thus playing it the way I do (which is only being able to rest when my characters are actually tired). Worse, if there is the option of resting whenever you want it may force me to abuse the resting option as well! This would be irresponsible as well. The third example would be romances. But I respect that this topic is temporarily banned on this forum, and shall thus refrain from elaborating. Dear Obsidian Entertainment, I hope I made it clear to you, that you have no choice but to make the game the way I enjoy it most. Everything else would be irresponsible. Expect my list of do's and dont's to arrive soon. Yours sincerely, Fluffle 7 "Loyal Servant of His Most Fluffyness, Lord Kerfluffleupogus, Devourer of the Faithful!" *wearing the Ring of Fire Resistance* (gift from JFSOCC)
Ieo Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Actually there is one actively moderated romance thread open at the moment. The KS Collector's Edition does not include the Collector's Book. Which game hook brought you to Project Eternity and interests you the most? PE will not have co-op/multiplayer, console, or tablet support (sources): [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Write your own romance mods because there won't be any in PE. "But what is an evil? Is it like water or like a hedgehog or night or lumpy?" -(Digger) "Most o' you wanderers are but a quarter moon away from lunacy at the best o' times." -Alvanhendar (Baldur's Gate 1)
Tale Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 A bit of good natured sarcasm can be fun, but I don't think we need a thread dedicated solely to it. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
