contra_cultura: Not to be a spoilsport but don't you guys think this game looks a bit too generic to be called "next hit"? I mean, on the latest trailer the first quest they show it's a
fetch-me-this-I'll-sell-you-that kinda quest, and the UI it's almost the same as in PoE if I'm not mistaken. Also, as much as I'd like to share a bit of your enthusiasm, by reading this (
http://www.blackgeyser.com/game-creation-myth) I find it quite difficult to do so. Nonetheless, I hope they succeed on their kickstarter and are able to make the game they wish to make.
On top of that, PillarsOfEternity-UI was nothing to be proud of, (left so many space unused) therefor it´s not only non-innovative but also not very clever to imitate it. Don´t get me wrong, it´s not like an UI one has to be ashamed of (like Oblivion...) but also nothing that offers standout quality.
In general it doesn´t look like a title that bring progression in quality, but just more quantity; maybe even lowering quality in favor of quantity. Nothing the CRPG-Genre would need at all...
