Oerwinde Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I'd like to see someone take a stab at an original Star Wars esque IP. Meaning spacefaring fantasy. Kings and nobles and wizards and peasants alongside starships and aliens and blasters and such. Edit: extra points for using starship designs similar to Treasure Planet.

Bester Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Does the pope **** in the woods? If Obsidian kickstarts a cyberpunk rpg would you back it? If Obsidian kickstarts a timetravel rpg would you back it? If Obsidian kickstarts a parallel universe travel rpg would you back it? If Obsidian kickstarts a cooking rpg would you back it? If Obsidian kickstarts an rpg about trees and grass would you back it? Let's not make threads about the obvious, ok? We'd all back any rpg from obsidian and whoever says they wouldn't, I really couldn't care less about those kind of people or their posts or thoughts or anything having to do with them for that matter. They don't deserve to play video games or to be literate or to even exist. They deserve to be torn apart by driders and then sent to the abyss for a few centuries of torture and mutilation.

Volourn Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I need proof that they can do a successful KS project. I'll wait until I see what they deliver with PE. So far, I\'ve spent $250 and have received nothing. Why would I spend more money on them until I see what happens with PE? 3 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

AGX-17 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) With Mass Effect's death by artistic integrity, There is no space opera game that interests me and so I thought: Why wouldn't Obsidian do it? Because they haven't expressed any interest in doing so. I'd like to see someone take a stab at an original Star Wars esque IP. Meaning spacefaring fantasy. Kings and nobles and wizards and peasants alongside starships and aliens and blasters and such. That's essentially what Mass Effect was. It was space fantasy. Space wizards using space magic (under the woefully misused term "biotic") left and right. Besides which, I don't see how "someone should make a carbon copy of Star Wars without the Star Wars license but also with knights and damsels and dashing princes and horse-mounted blaster dueling combat in spaceships" is a positive thing.

samm Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Hell yes, how I would love to :D However, I'd prefer it to be not fantasy-like (think Starwars or ME) and to have a lot of SPACE to enjoy - vast and deadly silent and black it should feel instead of colourful and populated Edited September 27, 2013 by samm Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well yeah, I'd support it. I think either a Mass Effect like RPG or even a System Shock 3 type RPG by Obsidian would be pretty cool, albeit there's no practical chance of another kickstarter going by what has been said. One game that I'd really like is a sort of combo of FTL and Privateer. Bit like Elite 3/ FFE with more RPGish combat rather than free flight, lots of missions, exploration, intrigue etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Pretty much sight unseen, barring some notable tragedy between now and the Kickstarter. Obsidian has me in pretty hook, line, and sinker. One game that I'd really like is a sort of combo of FTL and Privateer. Bit like Elite 3/ FFE with more RPGish combat rather than free flight, lots of missions, exploration, intrigue etc. I cannot click "Like" enough for this game idea. Hey Aaryn.....

LadyCrimson Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 If it looked like a gameplay-mechanic style+environment etc. that I'd be even remotely intrigued with, I'd buy it. But if I thought the chance of me even bothering to install it to look at it was about 0, then no. Like South Park. I love you Obsidian and will always try to support you as much as possible/wish you success at all times, but sorry, not getting that one. “Things are as they are.

How does it work from there? Space magic. Element zero introduced in utero produces nodules that emit mass effect fields when bioelectric currents pass through them. Biotic amps can then be implanted to enhance and control these fields. Its non-science, but not magic. Gameplay-wise its no different than magic, but lore-wise its science. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Lord of Lost Socks Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yes, I'd back them. But I am afraid South Park will be a buggy mess, and if Project Eternity isn't spotless I might not feel like supporting them anymore. We'll see.

GhoulishVisage Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah I would, but there are things I'd far rather see from them. Chief amongst those things is a horror RPG in the spirit of Bloodlines. 2 When in doubt, blame the elves.

South Park has the best chances to not be buggy, so you shouldn't be afraid about that. I'd worry about eternity way more in that department.
