Black Isle immigrants again on Kickstarter

The development studio Obsidian Entertainment intends to use Kickstarter to please nostalgic players with a new project in the spirit of old-school computer role-playing games by Black Isle (Not the current, and the same "old" Black Isle). Mastodons of the genre are led by Fergus Urkhart, Chris Avellone, Tim Kane, Josh Sawyer and others. All these guys when they were islanders worked on Fallout 1/2, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment and other cult role-playing games. After the dissolution of Black Isle, Obsidian became famous for such projects as Neverwinter Nights 2, Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords, Fallout: New Vegas and others. Many projects they did not succeed because of the formulation of ambitious plans for the development of role-playing, which were then sent to the scrap due to the failure to meet the deadlines set by the publisher. Now Obsidian wants to make a game of the level of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment in isolation from business sharks who want AAA projects with a grafon, and in collaboration with players.Project Eternity ).


What do the Obsidian promise in the game under this project?

• A fusion of exploration of the world and relationships with characters from Baldur's Gate, a combat system and exploration of dungeons straight from Icewind Dale, and the depth of relationships and moral dilemmas from Planescape: Torment
• Create your own unique character, who will collect partners with different characters
• Deep Branched Dialogs
• Player decisions will directly affect both companions and the plot with the outside world.

Target: $ 1 million 100 thousand. At the time of publication of the topic has collected more than 100 thousand dollars. And this is an hour.

PS I sincerely hope that the project Eternity does not mean that it will be developed forever :) Although the developers indicate the release for April 2014.
