Damn, I LOVE the soul concept.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Is that yer work shagg?

Yes and no. It's different. Regardless, I can't make dual pledges.

So... Are we Inn or are we Outlaws?!

 

[marrec]

Haha, so the guns really are there to fuck mages up.

*taps nose*

 

[subversus]

Haha, so the guns really are there to fuck mages up.

yeah, sounds good.

 

[marrec]

I vote for outlaws, though a lot of people put money into an Inn.

 

[subversus]

ok, guys, so how do we proceed with 5000$ tier? I'm not sure if 15 copies is enough...

edit: and I vote outlaws!!

 

[duckroll]

Can't wait to loot the unique firearm.... Mage Slayer.

 

[Lancehead]

Thinkers, spiritualists, and scientists of the world have theorized for thousands of years about the nature and purpose of this process, but others have turned to prayer for answer. Rather than illuminate the presumed higher purpose of this cycle, the gods have obfuscated the truth, at times spreading cosmological lies, pitting believers and empowered chosen agents against each other, and tacitly approving the prejudices of their followers to maintain power.

Gives me MotB vibe.

 

[xenist]

Update.

Oh my. My my my.

 

[Zeliard]

Gives me MotB vibe.

You can also tell where some of that Torment influence is coming in with the souls stuff.

Souls bouncing from life to life, an endless cycle of awakening and slumber, awakened souls who remember past lives, souls co-existing in the same body, etc.

But there seem to be plenty of elaboration and twists on the concept. Sounds pretty damn great so far.

 

[Lancehead]

The bit I take away from the Souls concept is that it's not like magic and most (all?) classes can draw from.

Through a variety of techniques (e.g. martial training, meditation, ritualistic evocation, mortification of the flesh), some individuals are able to draw upon the energy of their soul to accomplish extraordinary feats. These abilities range from the mundanely superhuman to the explosively magical.

 

[duckroll]

Guys, don't be fooled. There were only 3 inn tiers, and they're all sold out. We have something extremely limited. The new tier is limited to 6. I think we should keep with our current plan to have a NPC, a weapon, and an actual location in the game, rather than be tempted by this (imo) inferior new tier.

This is just my personal suggestion though, don't take it as an official word from NeoGAF mods or anything.

 

[Phinor]

I'm literally giggling with joy reading these updates. If they actually succeed in developing this game and improve from some previous attempts like Arcanum, this might be the game of all time.

If only "someone" reserves an extra pledge and call it a "Stretch Goal"!

 

[Zeliard]

See? No respec necessary. You can at the very least be mundanely superhuman.

 

[subversus]

I think the inn is boring compared to outlaws but whatever.

 

[Almighty]

I like what I heard. Man so far they are really hitting the right notes. It is going to make the wait for this terrible for me though. The souls stuff sounds like a very interesting concept.

Like the new tier I imagine people will be able to have fun with that. As for the GAF Inn or the GAF Band. I will not voice an opinion on that. I will leave it up to those that donate to it. Sorry Shagg I am still undecided about joining in on that.

 

[Dresden]

Outlaws are disposable, inns are forever.

Despite this, some individuals do employ firearms for one specific purpose: close range penetration of the arcane veil, a standard magical defense employed by wizards. The arcane veil is powerful, but it does not react well to the high-velocity projectiles generated by arquebuses and handguns. As a result, more wizards who previously relied on the veil and similar abjurations have turned to traditional armor for additional defense.

Bueno.

I think my dream build right now is a stealthy backstabbing dude armed with a knife and a matchlock pistol. Fuck mages.

 

[Sotha Sil]

I think the inn is boring compared to outlaws but whatever.

I don't even like the idea of players naming actual buildings/locations, but that's Kickstarter for you.

 

[Labadal]

We could have both, lol.

Gaffion The Arcane's Followers. Gaffion the Arcane would obviously be the NPC from the inn tier.

 

[Perkel]

I just watched JS video and i can only say one thing or three actually:

FUCKING ARCANUM 2

that's the vibe i'm feeling and i can't say i'm not happy about it.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I don't even like the idea of players naming actual buildings/locations, but that's Kickstarter for you.

I hope Obsidian moderate it to some extent so that any player-created content is consistent with the world and not totally jarring.

 

[Kurtofan]

The Gaffers

 

[Dresden]

I hope Obsidian moderate it to some extent so that any player-created content is consistent with the world and not totally jarring.

I'm sure they'll take steps to eliminate stuff like Penishead Inn or Straightouttacompton Tavern.

 

[DieH@rd]

This.

Got the same vibe as well

they somehow managed to put immortality there , in a great and subtle way

 

[Zeliard]

Bueno.

Opening cutscene needs to feature a bunch of mages putting up their Arcane Veils and freely owning everything in sight, and then a single person pulls out a musket and starts capping fools.

 

[Sotha Sil]

I know (hope?) they will, and I know it's a pretty efficient way to get communities to pool resources. Still don't like it, but ah well.

Eternal souls and conniving gods! Most excellent.

 

[EviLore]

Protagonist could even be in a different body from game to game in the series.

 

[Zeliard]

I'm probably gonna play a mage btw. Sissy ass gun wielders. I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass decked out in Elite Knight Armor +10.

 

[Almighty]

Protagonist could even be in a different body from game to game in the series.

Oh shit I didn't even think of that. That is a fucking awesome concept right there.

 

[Perkel]

Update was so good that GAF died for a while.

I agree completely.

 

[Dennis]

Can't wait for the 4chan and RPG Codex Enemy Adventurer bands.

Maybe they will kill each other.

 

[Llyranor]

Outlaws! But anyway, try to go for both, using one as a stretch goal.

Fighting adventuring parties made for the best battles in BG2.

 

[Digoman]

Very interesting world description on this update. And more importantly, a world that I definitely want to explore. I really like the souls description.

And to whomever said in the thread that guns were to shoot wizards in the face.... bingo!

 

[Lancehead]

Protagonist could even be in a different body from game to game in the series.

Some insane twist on amnesia is to be had.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

This game just sounds so fucking cool.

 

[Zeliard]

They potentially have several ways of making your decisions have lasting impact across sequels.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Looks like someone pledged for them Outlaws...

Oh wait... it me.

Inn or Out? Why not both?!!

Stretch Goals! If we can make more than $5,000; you guys decide if we keep this or not.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I didn't know Romney posted on GAF

I still suggest Gaffion's Arcane Followers.

 

[xenist]

I'd even play with it within a single game.

 

[Corto]

Damn Shagg you're ruthless! hehe *checks bank account*

 

[Zeliard]

I like the concept of several souls vying for one body. That seems like an inevitable companion - a crazier, more comedic version of One of Many.

 

[DieH@rd]

Protagonist could even be in a different body from game to game in the series.

It would be epic if we could die several times during the game, each time entering new body [and going trough character creation process]. We already know that universe will support "co-existing" souls in one body, so dying player can forcefully [or naturally] posses someone else.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Damn Shagg you're ruthless! hehe *checks bank account*

I will have to call my bank today to see what my credit limit is so I can extend it! Don't want the card declining when shit hits the fan!

 

[Zeliard]

I'd even play with it within a single game.

There's definitely gonna be a lot of that in the game but they could stretch the C&C out to subsequent titles in the series to an extent we haven't really seen before.
