Menace to sobriety!
Fargo may talk the talk, business wise; MCA walks the walk.
T o be fair they have additional content in their stretch goalsAs of today, not going to vote. Just need some more clarifications on their stretch goals. The pandering to BIODrones (companions/race) amd a player house is retarded, MORE stuff added to the game, extending the game/world/content is money way better spent (like most of the W2 stretch goals).
Will wait for further clarification.
and the home base could conceivably be quest heavy.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?)
Steam DRM will bring exclusive community features, achievements, cloud saving
W2 will be on Steam too.

In all fairness, it was okay for Tim Schafer to do that, since he had a perfect track record wrt adventure games, on one hand, and on the other, he had no idea whether he'd get even the bare minimum of funds, so creating a complex pitch would've likely ended as a waste of resources.I'm rather cynical about this pitch. The things I have seen so far suggest there has been very little effort put into the details of this game and already they have gone and asked for $1 million (and received it all, shockingly). That seems like bad judgement to me. I think kickstarter pitches should be done as professionally as a pitch to a publisher, especially considering the fact that the developer will have more freedom and less accountability at the end of it. Would a developer go to a publisher with this much information and expect them to actually fund it? No, and I would neither pitch this way nor fund a pitch like this. If this is all it takes for gamers to give up their money then I'm not surprised they are so frequently taken advantage of by publishers and developers.

What the fuck? Avellone is best known for writing Torment and Kotor2, both games with no elves. Moreover, a fantasy setting doesn't necessarily have to include Tolkien's shit.Dude, I understand that some people might not be big fans of fantasy games, that's cool and all, but this is an MCA game for Christ's sake. A fantasy setting is the whole bloody point!LACK OF FUCKING ELVEN FAGGOTS?

Sorry, I think something may've been lost in translation. I took "FUCKING ELVEN FAGGOTS" to stand metonymically for fantasy in general, given that we don't know whether Project Eternity will contain elves.What the fuck?

Just because they mentioned "chillax" doesn't mean that there will be elves. And even if there will, who cares if the game is good.Wasteland 2 vs Project Eternity:
- TURN-BASED
- A clear vision of the game in regard to mainstream
- No-DRM shit
- Stretch goal: Mod tools
- Stretch goal: More designers for more content
- More sensible pledge rewards
- No exclusive game content
VS.
- Kick It Forward
- RTwP CRAP
- Generic fantasy crap with Elf faggotry and all that
- Steam DRM with a distinct lack of non-DRM option
- No mod tools promised
- Stretch goal: races and classes and a companion
- Stretch goal: races and classes and a companion
- Stretch goal: a companion
- Stretch goal: house
- Shit rewards
Ahem... I think it's clear why WL2 was/is superior. Even the stretch goals for PE sound like DLC mods for Bethesda games.
- Not Kicking It Forward
An unworthy one.One of those 5k inn spots might be opening up (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=491435&page=4), come on guys, don't be faggots. What kind of a game would it be if there's GameBanshee and NeoGAF inns but no glorious Codex representation?
