I sort of agree, but on the other hand, I CAN GO VISIT THEIR OFFICE RIGHT NOW.
I probably should not do this.
Bring your spycam.
ummm... you didn't know that about Obsidian? I mean... it's not like they haven't been doing many of the best WRPGs in recent (and already not so recent) years, though often somewhat marred with problems due to the publishers involved.
Fuuuuuuuck yes. I have extra blood and a redundant kidney, I will sell it all to help you fund this Obsidian.

I think he meant the part about bringing that type of game back.

I read the first book and was all "I'll wait for the TV show".

I was thinking of bringing cupcakes. Just like, show up in my uniform with a dozen cupcakes. Can't turn away a guy bringing you cupcakes, right?
Hey. It worked with BioWare.

Dungeon Siege 4 in 9 months, or spiritual successor to Torment / Black Hound / something new in 18 months? Just because it's not started doesn't mean it must be worse. Plus it could have some sort of neat documentary or transparency to the process which you wouldn't see outside of a Kickstarter, if that is even what it is.
I'm more excited. This mean a pure Obsidian project. No license, no publisher, no artificial barriers. Just unaltered RPG awesomeness.
My wallet is ready and I'm a patient man.

It's also not necessarily not started.
This. In fact by the time they put up a kickstarter they've probably done a decent amount of pre-production work at least.
Exactly. Obsidian's own IP. If successful could mean a lot to this company in terms of leverage in future negotiations or independence from publishers or licenses owners. Though totally expected, sooner or latter. I'm more excited with this news than ever.
It might be one of their many rejected pitches, and thus they would have a prototype.

you really have to do this now, though I'm pretty sure that Josh Sawyer would rather healthy muffins.
this made me giggle like a schoolgirl

Bingo.
Also, trusting to that Kickstarter profile, they are specifically aiming to recreate something similar to my favorite branch of their past productions.
I actually meant that if it were a regular announcement, the game would have been in production for some time already and a trailer/media/info blowout would happen. Kickstarter generally means no "real" information or media about the game up until some point into production.

Actually that's the exception for those few who can afford that approach based on their reputation (which could be the case for Obsidian, by the way).
Kickstarter usually means "I have this prototype and I will use your money to improve/expand it".
If it's a rejected pitch and they can show some stuff then sign me up. I really do like Obisidian games, even DS3, just for reference

you could always dye them green and say they're irradiated pre-war cupcakes
A little fiber never hurt anyone.
Sadly my breasteses are too small
I know it's nothing, but Chris Avellone has a new twitter image with a more detailed Ouroboros-thing.
I can see it as a physical thing for a collector's edition.
Pledge 300$ or more - The Eternal Return package: You'll get all the rewards from previous tiers plus a book with the original concept art, a novella by Chris Avellone, and a numbered bronze Ouroboros ring.

to be completely honest I really hope it's not a wot game. alpha protocol was the 2nd best rpg of this century so I'm definitely crossing fingers for a new IP. that being said, an ad&d setting wouldn't necessarily preclude some incredible writing and creativity. hell, planescape is an ad&d setting.
I'll ask my pillow friend~
I think they prefer canned stuff. It lasts longer.

If it's a Kickstarter project, there's no chance that it'll be licensed. Not if it's the game Chris Avellone has been dancing around, anyway.

just give me a 1080p infinity engine looking game with a good story/quests.

well that's a good point, then my hopes of a new IP are even more likely!
your opinions are objectively wrong. also, there's something totally incongruous and nonsensical about being less interested if it's a kickstarter while bemoaning their track-record for bugs given that the pressure of working under the thumb of a major publisher is more likely to lead to rushed and incomplete projects than independent development.
Terrible post is terrible. Pelt him with bran muffins!
Yes, please tell us more about your opinions.
Hey now Dungeon Siege III wasn't a bug mess, it wasn't worth getting though.

You would think that being a kickstarter would help with the bugs
