Open Letter for Project Eternity (Missed Kickstarter :( ), and A BIG THANK YOU

[guguma]

Dear Obsidian,

 

On November 2011 I cried outloud on this very forum if Obsidian was planning to rock us with a new rpg:

 

 

Dear All,

I
do not want to post the same stuff over and over again, I just read
something about SKYRIM re-defining the RPG genre and I am filled with
the urge to literally eat myself.

I will hold my promise, and I
only trust obsidian, make an awesome old school RPG and I will buy 100
copies so that (unlike Black Isle) my favorite game developers won't go
bankrupt. I am sure more people are willing to do that, because I know
that somewhere, someone is reading stuff about Skyrim ,and probably
playing it, and started eating him/herself.

 

 

 

I will just leave this here for inspiration
 

Simply
put, our goal is to create the best electronic RPG's on the market. Our
team is made up of core RPGer's who work on nothing else. We create the
kind of games we want to play, and by doing so, hope to stay true to
the RPG enthusiast.

 

on April 2012 after the success of Wasteland 2 I was hoping obsidian will use kickstarter to launch their own rpg.

 

I just stumbled upon Project Eternity on a random blog, jumped to the kickstarter link and saw that the project has already been funded watched the brief project intro and jumped here.

 

What I loved about BG and PT was that these two games were not only games but they were art, and it was like reading an exciting book going through the games they were like books where you could help shape the story as well as enjoying the story and the world around you where you did not really have total control in my humble opinion these were what video games as a "MEDIA" should be.

 

And I do not need to know more about Project Eternity, I am absolutely certain that it is going to be amazing, I believe the hardest task for obsidian will be to keep it at least on par (if not better) with PT, and BG series.

 

What I would like to know at this point is though if I can still contribute to the project even if the kickstarter funding has ended?

 

And a big personal thank you for all this, I hope that we will enjoy the adventure, it will be profitable for obsidian, and that people will finally understand that running around screaming at dragons while collecting mushrooms in a meaningless world is NOT role playing in an absorbing environment, and creating npc's with obscure names and changing the names of the week to montag and suntag is NOT creative storytelling.

I believe the Paypal funding is still open, though the only tier available now is basically a pre-order for the game (http://eternity.obsidian.net/). Hope this helped.

Eat yourself?   You might be more careful with those word choices.
