Josh is a surprisingly good speaker. I am always pleased by his way of talking about things in those youtube videos. As long as it isn't a party.

EDIT:
xBxqG.jpg Mega dungeon, 15 levels

Damn, no feet.

Feet will require moar Facebook likes.
it would seriously be easier for them to raise another 200 grand than it would be for them to get 40k likes...

but either way, the dungeon additions have been closed. What we have now is a dungeon 3 times the size of watchers keep.

I really love the concept art of the mega dungeon. If it's anything as good as Durlag's tower from tales of the sword coast or watchers keep from tob, i'll be one happy camper.

Surprisingly many people in Project Eternity forums seems to have no or very little understanding what kind of RPGs Obsidian makes even if they have played them. The usual thought tends to be "Like Bioware but maybe better!".

This is the message I wrote into "Dev Q: Project Eternity and "Mature Content"" thread:
I think lot of people are getting more and less mistaken wibe of the Project Eternity - They seem to think that it'll be more like The Witcher or "Bioware" over the top style, or then something like Fallout 1 or 2 which were over the top in their own way, and even Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 had pretty exaggerated story/plot.

The impression I get from the interviews I've read and especially from the interview with MCA after the Kickstarter that they want to do something what's more like Arcanum or PS:T from the mood-standpoint.

It haven't been long since I played Arcanum last time and it was very subdued compared to the more newer games, even when compared to the before mentioned BG2, or even BG1.

What do you guise think, agree with my message?

Hopefully decliners vanish from the forums eventually, hopefully sooner than later.

Like i mentioned in one of those romance threads in the Bioware forum, this things about romance is such a small issue. It is such a small part of the content and it is up to the companion writers anyway. I don't know why you guys bother to rage so much and even go for insults, truth is that the romance group is more or less irrelevant. More worrying is people asking for the game to be easier, combat to be worse and streamlining features. That will really affect the game in a negative way and that is were you should put your focus. Not focus against a couple of lonely people that want to fill the void in their soul with some awful written romance were they have to cater to some broken character.

Jarpie Well, first MCA would have to play Arcanum in order to write a game that has a similar vibe, don't ya think? Other than that, yes, the Obsidian forums are full of butthurt Biodrones, which isn't surprising in the slightest, seeing as how the pitch video catered to them.

"Woo" as Chris would say.

Also I forgot to post this image when the Kickstarter ended, doing it now:

Typical feminazi misandrist objectification of the male body that provides sustenance via dick and moneyz hypocrisy etc. etc.

That was just an example of the similar mood and tone as had been in Obsidian's games so far, and Tim Cain did Arcanum.

^^ Let's hope his voodo works on his co-workers so he can make them agree to as many Arcanum-like things. The high class orlan cypher detective that Adam mentioned in that sorcerers interview already sounds very Arcanum-y.
