Starwars Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) http://www.sorcerers...ead.php?t=58248 Lovely little nuggest of information here about a character (possibly a companion?). [Adam] We are developing a character that is an Orlan Cipher, who is a detective (Orlans are a new race in Project Eternity. They are small folk based after the gnome and the Halfling). He isn’t necessarily upper class, but he comes from wealth, so he dresses very nicely. Because he’s a Cipher he has somewhat psychic abilities that help him as a detective, and he uses that to investigate murders and the like. So that’s a character we are developing right now. Pretty cool!

Sarog Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I would love it if this fellow came bundled up with a plot as intriguing as the gnome conspiracy in Arcanum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 [Adam] We’d like to do updates as often as possible. We are still working this out, but I’d at least like to provide updates to the fans on a weekly basis, perhaps bi-weekly. That would be more often than I was originally expecting/thinking, so nice to hear. Nice interview, thanks for linking. 3 “Things are as they are.

Tigranes Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Now that's something I can get behind, the first character to actually sound/look interesting at a glance. Echoes of Arcanum too. 2 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morhilane Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 [Adam] Several of the classes function differently than they did in DnD. The Paladin is a little different. They function more like the Warlord class from DnD. The Priest is a little more like a traditional paladin. I wonder what people think of this answer one personally.

Kurumi Morishita Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks for the post!!! Looking forward to meet that Cipher and probably help him with some of his investigations?

Sick Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I dont think I am familiar with the warlord class anyone care to elaborate for me so I can be appropriately out raged? My DM described it in that way "The Warlord Class is like the Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket" (I'm serious). For what I've understood, that class can shout at his companions, in order to grant them various kind of bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaShard Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I like the idea of this character he seems all about the Role and not the "OMG how much DPS does he do!?". Thank you Obsidian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
