khermann Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) It would have been simpler to just skip to the Pathfinder sections because it doesn't at all look like a survey, it looks like an announcement that Obsidian is making a pathfinder game and is trying to justify it to someone internally.

Sking Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 Resolved an issue with the first survey link. Feel free to take it again. The link in this post has been updated to be the correct one. Also a new post (Forum Link). - Sking
ZeshinX Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Took the survey, but I've been wanting a Pathfinder CRPG from Obsidian since they announced their partnership with Paizo way back. Ignored the Adventure Card game (zero interest, MtG thoroughly obliterated my interest in ever touching a CCG again, digital or printed product), but hoped and continue to hope this isn't just placation but a concerted effort to finally get a PFCRPG made. Stick to the Pathfinder ruleset as much as possible though. nSpace learned a hard lesson with Sword Coast Legends about taking liberties with the 5e ruleset (nothing against the people, just the decisions they made). If a PFCRPG does happen, I'd prefer to see an original adventure, not an adaptation of an adventure path. Edited October 28, 2016 by ZeshinX 2
evilcat Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 It would be very interesting to see what could be done with Pathfinder transition into crpg. How well pnp playerbase transfer to gamers, or how gamers get interested in new setting. I see the appeal in some less popular or less generic settings. There is this Shadowrun company, in their time they ware pumping 1 story a year, and it has some popularity. So there may be market in pnp inspired game.
Sedrefilos Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Maybe we'll see a more Icewind Dale-ish Pathfinder game. You know, mostly traveling and dungeon crawling with a full pre-made party and less of a sigle-character, complex story, deep roleplay game. It'll be fun
eimatshya Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) While I'd much rather play a Pathfinder game than Forgotten Realms D&D, it's still pretty far down the list of IPs I'd want. I'd be much more interested in Fading Suns or DragonStar or anything else set in space. Since they seem to have a good relationship with Paradox, maybe a game set in the Trinity setting. I'm just so bored of medieval fantasy I can't muster any enthusiasm for a Pathfinder game (or even POE 2). Maybe they could do a Starfinder game instead. Edited November 8, 2016 by eimatshya
JerekKruger Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Since they seem to have a good relationship with Paradox, maybe a game set in the Trinity setting. Paradox bought White Wolf in 2015 right? I am hopeful that this signals a nice partnership with Obsidian to make quality CRPGs of all types using White Wolf IPs. I feel like, at least at the moment, Paradox will be a great publisher/funder for Obsidian in that they know to let Obsidian do their thing and won't interfere too much. I might of course be wrong about that, I'm basing it purely off the fact that they've done well making non-mainstream games.
