Of the rest, I see only WITCHER 3 as being real competition. There hasn't been a really good LotR game in years, ELDER SCROLLS looks very MMORPG-by-the-numbers at the moment and INQUISITION would need to be a hell of a lot better than either DA:O or DA2 to really stand much of a chance. The early videos showing a high focus on action and combat are not particularly encouraging.<br /><br />As for why Obsidian is on Kickstarter, they took the proposal for a top-down, old-skool RPG to Atari as ICEWIND DALE III and were rejected out of hand. They talked to other publishers and were told that 2D, top-down RPGs were dead. The only way to do this project was by Kickstarter. Obsidian have also - famously - been screwed over by publishers on multiple occasions and wanted a project they had more direct control over, which Kickstarter gave them.<br /><br />Oddly, since DIABLO III came out and was a massive success, and since the success of the Kickstarters not just for ETERNITY but other top-down RPGs like NUMENERA and SHADOWRUN RETURNS, Obsidian have reported a lot more interest from publishers in this project and other ideas.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-16265394059870565562013-12-12T10:18:40.342+00:002013-12-12T10:18:40.342+00:00I know this is off-tropic but I don't understa...I know this is off-tropic but I don't understand why Obsidian is on Kickstarter. The team responsible for Fallout: New Vegas, Kotor, Alpha Protocol, Neverwinter Nights & Dungeon Siege games should have no problem getting funding. Kickstarter is for guys and companies with no foot in the door, not for companies who has passed through the door several times already.Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160118520611754510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-34134104173782111342013-12-12T01:37:22.279+00:002013-12-12T01:37:22.279+00:00It will be good, but I doubt it will be Game of Th...It will be good, but I doubt it will be Game of The Year with Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, LOTR: Shadow of Mordor, Telltale's Game of Thrones and Elder Scrolls Online coming out as well. And that's just the fantasy games that will outrun it. A great year for fantasy RPGs. :)newfiesailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934509711785687310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-75108825046154268642013-12-11T19:17:34.777+00:002013-12-11T19:17:34.777+00:00This has Game of the Year written all over it :)This has Game of the Year written all over it :)Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575066240308376993noreply@blogger.com
