Huh, they weren't kidding about that bit with inventing the future of dance music.

You love something that does not exist?
You are only in love in the idea of this game, but.. hmm I guess it is like real life.
Carry on.

Do NOT insult the Second Coming of Bloodlines, you heathen! The church of Bloodlines, all praise the High Priest WESP, will go vampire medieval on your infidel buttocks!

Some snippets of internal dialogue leaking. Spoilered in case there's anyone here who wants to hold on to their virginity a while longer.
Electrochemistry looks like bad news. Definitely maxing it for my first playthrough.

At one point some people also said PoE is REAL successor to BG and some people said WL2 is REAL successor to Fallout 1/2. And we know how that turned out..

Difference is, anyone could see those games were going to be mediocre early in the process.

I don't believe it.So this is the REAL successor to PS:T.
Technology to produce a waifu comparable to Annath is lost.
Please. Conceptually this is a hundred times more ambitious than PS:T. Of course, it could fail--there are a million ways they could fuck this up. But based on the little we've seen so far, if ZA/UM can deliver on the execution, No Truce will DETHRONE Planescape: Torment.
Yes, that's a mighty big if.
More like "deflower".

Except people only noticed problems once both games released their beta versions, before that everyone still expected the impossible.At one point some people also said PoE is REAL successor to BG and some people said WL2 is REAL successor to Fallout 1/2. And we know how that turned out..

Retards, maybe. Anyone with brains could see it as soon as they put out the Hwrpa Dwrp map for PoE, and even earlier with the 'Design Document' (that read more like a bad 90s back of the box marketing blurb) for W2.
A HUNDRED times more ambitious than PS:T? More like a MILLION times!!! You've heard of Wizardry? Might and Magic? Ultima? They're all dogshit compared to this. Trust me: they won't fuck this up! These modern day Leonardo da Vinci's have shown us the Mona Lisa, it's not like after getting all the praise they'd cart her in to a back room and chisel off her arms before releasing her!

Tim Schafer is excited (in a very soyboy way) for a game that takes years and years to come out and is still probably half-baked?
*shocked*

I love Torment like other people love their family members, but it was not conceptually ambitious. It wasn’t trying to be. PS:T told an amazing story and inverted a bunch of tropes, it didn’t reinvent the genre. The Disco Elysium guys are trying to reinvent the genre (they say so themselves!). Skills that talk to you (holy shit, an RPG protagonist with an interior life!), equippable thoughts, a staggering amount of reactivity based on your build. They talk about writing games as literature for fuck’s sake. They are as ambitious as they are pretentious, so very, very ambitious.
I’m not saying that they’re going to succeed. They may fail spectacularly. But the ambition is there regardless.
Just one thing bothering me about preordering, why not on GOG? Is this some silly Estonian-Polish rivalry?
Is preordering even possible?
