[Cowboy Moment]

In an unexpected twist of fate, democracy actually results in incline!

Is that the only comeback chance you saw? Didnt someone else reply to you in more details?

I may have missed your point among the insults. Your rhetoric is really captivating. Tell me again how turn-based sneak is really difficult and adds to the game.

 

[tuluse]

Underail has a cool implementation of turn based stealth. I'm not sure why you are implying that it would be easy by definition.

 

[Surf Solar]

I played it like 7 times already, just never finished it.

Even worse!

Sure dude. Sure. Nobody saw that edited out bloat of shit you spurred a couple of pages ago. If you don't want to understand because you have your head up your ass, as you said, I'm not going to explain it.

 

[undecaf]

Oh shit, the "My jewgold back if turnedbase! How'd i do it? -- To court. Imma gonna too." ultimatums have started again in the vote comments.

*sigh*

 

[Sergiu64]

I think following this close result they'll come up with something dumb like making some sort of TB/RLwP hybrid ala Arcanum that will suck in both modes.

 

[hiver]

*sigh*

what youre sighing for now? is that some additional act? your post is stupid and you were explained why. No sense in just inventing something as stupid as that to wiggle out.

can you be so stupid to actually believe that? do you even have a brain?
alternative being even more hilarious.

no way?

man, this is getting better and better.

Why would you think this when they specifically said they wouldn't do it?

Colin weighs in on TB vs RTwP on twitter:

Walter White ‏@talharbash 24h
@ColinMcComb What vote did you cast?

@talharbash A gentleman never tells. (I went TB... and I'll explain why in these following tweets).

"When we started the KS, we were agnostic about the kind of system we wanted. @SaundersKevin, @adamheine, and I all came from RTwP backgrounds (IE games, NWN engine), after all. But as we've put together our concepts, we've found that that what we want to do can be accomplished very well through TB. That result was certainly a surprise to me. We can certainly adjust our parameters, if necessary--but TB looks like the best option to me right now."

 

[Murk]

That fucking Obsidian thread.

Good job bros; keep up the good fight.

Realization seeps in: of the 6 games that I am looking forward to, 4 are definitely turn based (AOD, blackguards, D:OS, W2) 1 is possibly turn based (torment) and one is PE.

Dayamn. What the hell happened?

 

[hiver]

I had to get my bro to do the pledge since I don't have a credit card, now I can't sample the RTWPfag tears.

well just give him cash for your copy. or go around and ask people you know could you pay for something on the internet with their card.

were about 80-90 ahead last few hours.

hah, old Tb has some powah, who would have thought huh?

all came from RTwP backgrounds (IE games, NWN engine), after all. But as we've put together our concepts, we've found that that what we want to do can be accomplished very well through TB. That result was certainly a surprise to me.

now this sounds interesting.

smells like something good might have happened there.

 

[Rake]

-snip-

I don't realy disagree, and i voted TB because:
If inXile proves me wrong and delivers great combat, i don't care whatever is chosen as i will enjoy both equaly.
If somehow fucks it up, i vastly prefer bad TB from bad RTwP. (but i don't think ToN or W2 combat will be bad, just simplistic)

 

[Roguey]

I really enjoyed reading that one rtwp-supporter going ballistic at RPS. I think there might have been two of 'em in fact. Maybe it's just trolling but it's still fun.

It'll be just perfect if a large amount of backers demand refunds when they don't get their way. Even better if inXile refuses. If they have such passionate feelings about whether or not a game should have turn-based or pausable real-time combat maybe they shouldn't have donated money to a project that wasn't sure which one it wanted to go with. They made their bed, now they get to sleep in it. That goes for you guise too.

Well, i'd say that Colin pretty much spilled the beans as to what system they were planning on implementing (which is TB).

Rake
yeah ok. no prob.
i was just asking. (it did sound a bit like going down the route of well, the combat may as well suck - defeatist view )

and i wanted to say that its not like W2 system will be copy pasted whole. i mean, different setting, different mechanics of the Numenera PnP, different skills, esoteries, numenera, creatures, companions, weird equipment, amd on and on, of course.
Its not like they take Wasteland 2 specific rules and skills and mechanics and just use that in TToN.

Its more about using that technology. Basically it will be a new TToN specific system, using same underlying technology W2 has. Not W2 stuff itself.

I've been informed that no refunds will be offered to backers who ares dissatisfied with the combat system.

Ah, wasn't aware they did. Well it's nice to see them being smart in advance, mind boggles why they would even have this vote if it was all pretty much settled.

 

[hiver]

Since ultimately both options, and even the third proposed before - would have been fine with me, i dont really see a problem with this vote.

heck - this thing is unique from the first idea about doing it, onward.

There still hasnt been any usual or "proper" procedure about TToN whole this time, including a completely new whole setting, and way of financing and being in unique position on that level... we should be happy they are even using a "computer graphical engine" to make it at this point.
Thats about the most usual thing about it.

 

[Lord Andre]

It saddens me that about 90% of the people that voted did not play enough RPGs to be able to have a relevant opinion. At least that's my impression after skimming their forum. Most of them voted on what they think the words TBS or RTwP mean, but they have no actual gameplay experience to tie those concepts to...well, except dragon age and DnD online I suppose.

Still, as long as TB wins, fuck'em !
