Starwars Posted October 20, 2012 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! Edited October 20, 2012 by Starwars 12 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
DocDoomII Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 That is actually very interesting! Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!
Karranthain Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Sounds interesting, looking forward to knowing more about the characters.
santanzchild Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 A midget detective cipher lol I could see that new show premiering on sci-fi in the fall.
JWestfall Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Nice interview, thanks for posting. Also - halfling psionic detective? Win! 2
Sarog Posted October 20, 2012 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.
LadyCrimson Posted October 20, 2012 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 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)
Forlorn Hope Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Very interesting, thanks! "Maybe your grandiose vocabulary is a pathetic compensation for an insufficiency in the nether regions of your anatomy."
morhilane Posted October 20, 2012 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. Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity.
santanzchild Posted October 20, 2012 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?
Kurumi Morishita Posted October 20, 2012 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 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.

The Mist Devil Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Great interview, having so much feedback will be very interesting and it's really great for all of us. « Celui qui est consumé par la flamme de la justice ne craint ni le ciel, ni l’enfer ; il n’est qu’une arme attendant le jour de sa mort ».

chisled2bone Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 looking forward to the next update that Adam eluded to that is coming soon!
santanzchild Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 So it sounds like paladins are going to be bards in plate.... Well there game I guess.
HumanFlesh+5 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 And the aumaua are something like seaside half-orcs ... Trum, trum, terum tum tum - the landsknecht and his gaudy war drum.
Benison Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 "midget detective cipher" Someone a bit like Miles Vorkosigan? In a fantasy setting? Bring it on, Obsidian, Lois McMaster Bujold won´t mind!
.Leif. Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 After I read that character description I keep calling him 'Detective Perrywinkle'.
AlphaShard Posted October 20, 2012 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.
Hugo Rune Posted October 20, 2012 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? http://www.dandwiki....rd_(3.5e_Class) I don't think Adam means this Warlord class (it's homebrew, i.e. not official!) but the 4E Warlord, which is much closer to the Paladin archtype. http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ex/20080421a
