That screenshot is really pretty, but it cannot be one of the actual in-game backgrounds, not for an isometric game, the perspective is too skewed.​

For open exterior environments, we are experimenting with using a lower camera angle, similar to what's found in Fallout and Fallout 2. The advantage is that tall vertical elements can be seen in greater detail. I don't know the exact angles for the BG/IWD renders vs. Fallout, but we rendered the scene from both angles and it looks much better when it's at the "Fallout" (15 degrees lower) angle.

After seeing the screenshot :

 

[Pegultagol]

Guess it's 'cavalier oblique' then

Yeah, I don't care much for deformation myself but just stood out at the back of my mind from having seen unity tech demos. like swaying trees and the like, given that I am being a graphic whore but just on the account of this amazing graphics reveal, which the artists don't have to animate by hand if possible.

 

[Roguey]

Graphicswhoredex reacts as expected.

I think if the KS can get close enough to the 3 million number Obsidian might fub the paypal numbers and say it was reached. Well I can hope.

Statues look like something has been ripped out of their torsos. Souls perhaps? (disclaimer, have not read the Lore update)

Aren't all womins graphic whores since all they do is mod themselves?

I can already imagine some elf chillaxing near the cascade, maybe rubbing his feet in the water doing normal chillaxing things.

This might be the best game to come out since Wasteland 2.

This ToEE artwork is interesting me.

Maybe I should give it a go.

And maybe I was a little premature in forming a judgement of PE from one piece of artwork.

I just want more Fallout type games is all

if you want anything resembling a story on the level of...anything... don't bother with ToEE.

If all you care about is turn based cock stroking that makes even the most basic of rat encounters seem like hours then this game is your wet dream.

its real purdy tho, i'll give it that.

 

[Rivmusique]

That screenshot. Beautiful.

 

[IDtenT]

Glad I didn't end up chipping in on this.

 

[Malpercio]

It'll definitely reach the 3m goal, but 3.5? That's going to be a little harder...

But eh, 2 cities like Athkatla. I can't even image how awesome it would be.

 

[Cynic]

No way they are getting 800k bucks in 5 days. Prove me wrong interwebz.

 

[Lockkaliber]

Well they are at about 2.75 million with paypal right now, and today they've got $112,407 so far. If it keeps up like this and we se a huge spike in the last day or so, it might happen but yeah probably not

Obsidian has been tweeting the totals.

[HanoverF]

I think 3.5+ is possible, the last couple days usually brings another flurry of backers, the kicktraq has already gone up a bit too.

There is also this:

(Note all the tabs on the bottom for further charts).

A surprising thing in those charts is that the average amount per backer has actually been on a steady rise throughout the kickstarter, the opposite of basically every other one up until now. I guess their updates and addon things have really worked for them.

 

[maverick]

Whoa, those charts indicate they will easily get 3 million!

Wer hätte das Gedacht...
