So Pillars has launched and done well - huzzah! Well done Obsidian

 

So anyone else considering what the next kickstarter will be about and when it will occur?

 

My idle speculation is that the unnamed rpg in the works is maybe the next kickstarter, but what is the game about?

 

What genre do you think it will be?

 

My pick is science fiction because there are not enough of them.

More expansions for pillar first,THX:)

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Benz

She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

I hope scifi because there are nearly no good scifi RPG (my secret dream is of a RPG in Asimov' Foundation/Robot universe, but I doubt that will ever happen), but I would all fine with "more pillars".

Columns of Fleetingness

- How can I live my life if I can't even tell good from evil?

- Eh, they're both fine choices. Whatever floats your boat. 

More Pillars. Imagine the early industrial era in Eora!!

Pillars is too good, making it even better with expansions will make it the best RPG ever, so they've gotta try doing that.

No idea what it will be, but I'm personally only interested in classic medieval fantasy or decent sci-fi RPGs. And even though Pillars to me is not the perfect game it seems to be to some, I'll happily back a POE2 game if they go that way.

Do we even know that there's going to be a next Kickstarter?

If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time.

Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.

Do we even know that there's going to be a next Kickstarter?

No, but why wouldn't there be? After taxes, publisher cuts, and other costs, I'm not sure if Obsidian earned enough money to fully finance their next game, but even if they did, Kickstarter is a great way to gain additional funding. With the stellar reviews Pillars is getting from players and journalists both, this new campaign certainly wouldn't suffer from lack of interest.

Spy thriller! Need that Alpha Protocol 2!

Do we even know that there's going to be a next Kickstarter?

 

Considering how well it worked out for them it would be surprising if they didn't do another one.

Hopefully Arcanum sequel

sci-fi but instead of a stronghold I would love to have a ship upgrading mechanics. And optional ship to ship dogfights so you can actually use your ship and its' upgrades.

 

It will be great to have a game which is an hybrid of star control and a 2D kotor and not only a kotor...

 

And I think this poll should have let you chose multiply options ,many of us would back more than one type of game.

More expansions for pillar first,THX:)

 

Obsidian has well over a 100? employees? Really don't need as many people to produce expansions as the base game. 

 

Turn based game needs to happen in order to keep Mr. Tim Cain happy though.

I'd like to see a hard(-ish) relatively near-future (max +200 years or so) sci-fi game that's not cyberpunk. Turn-based of course. Lead Designer Tim Cain.

I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com

I would love some really good Cyberpunk RPG.

A Western with the pillars of Eternity rule set? oh GOD yes!

....not relevant to Pillars of Eternity General Forum?

Anyway, my personal wish, Alpha Protocol-based game... feat. Archer Sterling.

Hopefully Arcanum sequel

 

Pillars or this, Arcanum might be a flawed game but it's actual setting is excellent.

A remake of Lionheart. What people have truly wanted all these years, is to experience Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader with modern graphics. Nothing else would be changed, just the graphics. This would be the most succesful kickstarter of all time.

 

After that, they can probably afford one of the most respected IPs in the industry - Bubsy! Bubsy RPG. Super Mario RPG couldn't compete.

Interesting results so far. So more pillars is the clear favourite followed by science fiction.

Spy thriller! Need that Alpha Protocol 2!

 

Huh ... what about isometric Alpha Protocol? Would that be something that could make sense?

DID YOU KNOW: *Missing String*

I need an original science fiction property from Obsidian. I'd totally understand if they didn't want to throw the whole team behind it and just made a smaller game, but I want to see where they go with it.

Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out 

Post apocalyptic Sci-Fi Western Steampunk Vampire Spy Thriller set in the future of the PoE setting. RTwP or FP with heavy stealth mechanics, designed by Chris Avellone during an acid trip.
