Pillars of Eternity
 
Project eternity is now up:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...oject-eternity



Obsidian Entertainment and our legendary game designers Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, and Josh Sawyer are excited to bring you a new role-playing game for the PC. Project Eternity (working title) pays homage to the great Infinity Engine games of years past: Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment.

Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur’s Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.

From their forum discussion, it seemed like a lot of people wanted an old-school isometric 2D RPG. I just hope that they don't use a retro look for the graphics, as I don't really like that trend.

I wonder if the over-funding goals are going to be to actually complete the game instead of release it as a buggy piece of shit?

Nice, save $5 if you grab one of the 25k spots @ $20. I'll probably back this. Even if I hate how buggy their games always are, they still do make enjoyable games.

I don't know what this is, but I threw down for the $20.00 tier because it's limited.

As with all Kickstarters, I'll wait until it's actually out and then give them my money.

I decided to back this one on pedigree alone. Besides, I still have a month to change my mind and cancel, but the lower price tier will be gone in a day or two.

I really wouldn't get too excited just yet. A lot of games hype some huge promises and fall way short of it. Remember when Dragon Age was supposed to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate...

re: Pillars of Eternity
 
Ok please let me know when I can get excited about this project..


When you have the creative talent that was behind PS:T. Making the game that they want to with no publisher interference, while there is a chance this might not Pan out, at least this will look like PS:T, BG ( isometric 2d party based RPG). Which DA wasnt.

And funded in 27 hours

I actually quite enjoyed the first Dragon Age game and in some ways it did feel like Baldur's Gate to me, minus the DnD rules and 2D Isometric view. It wasn't better than the Baldur's Gate games but I thought it was a pretty damn good game. Now, don't get me started on the sequel...

From what I understand Project Eternity is going to be done in the same style as Baldur's Gate & Icewind Dale with 2D pre-rendered backgrounds, top down isometric view, and tactical pause-n-play combat. To me, that's awesome. I love those style of RPG's. I still get enjoyment from re-playing the original Baldur's Gate games and Icewind Dale.

We have stretch goals:



We are excited to announce the stretch goals for Project Eternity!

1.1 million, Base Goal – Achieved!
Base game includes three races, five classes, and five companions. We have ideas for these, but we want to hear your opinions on what you'd like to see. Stay tuned to Kickstarter, our website, and our forums to join in on the conversation.

1.4 million, New Playable Race, Class, and Companion!
Expands your options for character creation and adds a companion of the new class.

1.6 million, a Mac Version of Project Eternity and The Story Grows!
We've listened and we’ll make a Mac version of the game at this tier. We're also going to add a new major storyline along with new quests, locations, NPCs, and unique loot (special histories everyone?).

1.8 million, New Playable Race, Class, and Companion!
The options grow for your main character and the roster of your motley crew expands with the addition of a new companion from the selected class.

2.0 million, Player House!
Get your own house in the game that you can customize, store equipment in, and where your companions hang out, or, as the elves say, "chillax".

2.2 million, a new Region, a new Faction and another new Companion! And, dare we say it... ? LINUX!
Great news, everyone! For the Tarball Knights of Gzippia out there, we'll be adding Linux support!
Also, the world of Project Eternity grows in a major way with the inclusion of a whole new faction and the territory it holds. This adds new NPCs, quests, magic items, and hours of gameplay. And yes, you got it, another companion.

We've been listening to your feedback, and have the following announcements:

DRM Free: We are looking into it! Please check back for updates.
Digital Only Tiers are coming!
PayPal is coming asap. Please be patient!
New $5k Tier. We are looking into a new $5k tier since it sold out so quickly! We are looking into equivalent alternatives.
Thank you fans!

Obsidian
