Zoraptor Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Illogical? Impossible? Even Albert Einstein agrees it's possible- and he should know, he went back to kill Hitler before WW2 after all. Edited September 30, 2013 by Zoraptor 2
Spider Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 The only film about time travel that made sense was Primer. Useless to discuss back to the future as it was utterly illogical. I thought 12 Monkeys handled time travel exceptionally well. 1
Hurlshort Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 The only film about time travel that made sense was Primer. Useless to discuss back to the future as it was utterly illogical. We are talking about entertaining plot devices, not University coursework. Very little of the fantasy world is grounded in logic. 1
Gromnir Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I'd probably back an Obsidian kickstarter for any genre. How much though depends on the details of the setting. there were a time when we woulda' agreed, but we didn't play alpha protocol or dungeon siege 3 and have zero interest in south park. and yet, there is a plethora o' games obsidian could announce that would interest us... we just need info. HA! Good Fun! edit: we actually is interested in south park, just not the game Edited September 30, 2013 by Gromnir "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

Bester Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Illogical or not, it is one of the best film trilogies ever. No arguments from you, butthead! When you're ten to twelve, it definitely is. The only film about time travel that made sense was Primer. Useless to discuss back to the future as it was utterly illogical. I thought 12 Monkeys handled time travel exceptionally well. Oh, yeah yeah, that too. IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link
Gromnir Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 time travel as a plot device is fine... as long as is only going forward. and Einstein never bothered to figure how much energy time travels would take. turns out that it is probable that energy required makes impossible anyways... much greater than 1.21 gigawatts. HA! Good Fun!

Majek Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I dunno. Only if it was set only in our Solar system so space colonies, Mars and Moon bases ... well bases on any usable rock in the system. NO SAVING THE UNIVERSE crap though. Just a personal story, maybe a role in few larger conflicts but not all out system war. ... my bad. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Bester Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 That's actually a good idea. Tell of the Earth history in the 21 and 22 century, of mars terraforming, a little bit of simple politics. Nothing serious, just asimov-style. I could very strongly relate to that, I guess everyone would. IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link
Labadal Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I'd like to see a bounty hunter game in space. Something like Cowboy Bebop.
Dream Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I'd have to see if they deliver on PE first (especially with regards to what they promised way back when).
rjshae Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I'd like to see a bounty hunter game in space. Something like Cowboy Bebop. A primarily drama-based show like Cowboy Bebop wouldn't necessarily translate well into a computer game. The scope would likely need to be significantly modified.

SummerDay Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Think I'd draw the line on backing a tree, grass game, but I'm all for SF or horror. What's the difference between "there", "their" and "they're"? Apparently, none.
licketysplit Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Space opera has been done to death, so right away I say no. And then I look at Obsidian's track record for creating new IP's...and I say no. I hate to say it, but Bioware is better at this. Far better.

And then I look at Obsidian's track record for creating new IP's...and I say no. I hate to say it, but Bioware is better at this. Far better. IIRC, the only new IP they've created is Alpha Protocol, which suffered more from an unfocused direction from Sega than anything from Obsidian.

teknoman2 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 what i'd like to see is a space opera rpg without aliens. just humans doing in space the same things they do on earth: screwing each other for money and power The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.
