BG is a 14 year old game... In the last fifteen years I went six times to the theater, the new Star Wars movies and the LotR movies.$20 or $25 is a very reasonable price for a good new game, especially if it's the length of BG. The problem I have with it is not the price, although it is more then I generally spend on games, it is 18+ month wait and the unknown factor. Do you know what Obsidian will make? An isometric view CRPG, 'which is the spiritual successor of BG', a claim which Bioware also made in regards to Dragon Age: Origins. There is a big difference between claiming and actually delivering, and Obsidian has a mixed track record to say the least...Obsidian did create KotoR2, some of the people there made Fallout 1 & 2, Torment, etc.Does the resolution mod make the game look this decent (can't call it good):<a href="http://baldursgate.com/news_2012sep10.en.html" target="_blank">Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition</a>If so, I'll eat my words on the PC version, an iPad version is welcome though...I think my issue has also to do with exitement. With Shadowrun Returns, I knew "It's Shadowrun!", the folks that made the original pnp are leading the project. The video was enjoyable and made me excited for the project. With Planetary Annihilation the concept was certainly interesting, especially after my experience with Supreme Commander, but without that video were they showed us what they wanted to achieve I doubt I would have pledged. With Project Eternity we have an isometric CRPG, 'which is the spiritual successor of BG', something with souls, adult concepts, etc. No specifics, no content, no direction. Even the video wasn't all that interesting because the developers were extremely vague about the game. I don't think, nor want to give devs money on such vague promises, I think that is dangerous for Kickstarters. And with more and more KSs that aim at games I want to be more careful where I spend my money, so that when something interesting comes along (Reaper Bones, Dreamforge plastics, CMON, etc.) I have money to spend.</blockquote>
