I was always fond of how trainwreck-y Aerie could get. Not to mention having a face only her mother could love.

To be fair, all of the elves were a bit melty-faced in 2.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

I'm gonna go with this.

Yep.

We’ve been asked some questions about what types of relationships the PC might have with their companions. Our position is this: adhering to our four pillars, we are going to craft nontraditional, complex, and believable characters. We are going to develop the companions with enough depth that we understand their motivations and personality. And then we will write them to respond appropriately to the situations they encounter. Love, which comes in many forms, is certainly relevant when exploring themes of legacy, abandonment, and mystery – and we expect to explore this emotion in ways that fits the story and characters. Meaningful friendships, even feelings of affection, will be possible, but relationships of the flesh would be inconsistent with our narrative.

Basically, no sex-scenes.
Just like in Planescape Torment.

I approve

No romancing the flesh?

I am crushed.

Oh well, back to pretending to be playing The Witcher 2.

They did, however, say non-traditional.

Things are about get real kinky up in Numenera.

Aerie hate is a thing that is too popular on the internet. Poor little Aerie

Starting to sound less like fantasy and more like my life.

I really hope this thing grinds over to 2.5k today...

yeah we could get some action in the videogame world at least
although I'm actually fine with their decision.

thanks for sharing the art, Lime!
although the first pic is weirdly cropped. it's not whole

With Paypal the goal has been met.

He's basically saying that there may be elements of "love," but there ain't gonna be any fucking.

HAW we shall see about that! *off to torment.nexusmods.com*

I figure they'll start releasing new stretch goals or more incentives when they hit 2.5 officially to keep things rolling. I won't lie... I want a cool t-shirt.

yeah the other one at the bottom :/

Hopefully we'll get some uncropped art once they hit 2.5million in a couple of hours.

2.5 has been achieved with paypal as their stretch goal is already updated.

 

[Violet_0]

as a side note, all this Numenera art (this one also) looks so very Magic: The Gathering-like!

Ah, good stuff.
I hope they'll hold off the next stretch goals until they hit 3 million.
They can always post some more art work to capture some more contributors.

Also, trab is the top poster in the thread.

impressive, isn't it? I really believe they may have taken some inspiration from his comicbooks.

I guess I'm a bit too excited for this game lol.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

The mobious stuff is really nice, wouldn't at all mind them borrowing a bit of that.

Looks like they are going with smaller stretch goals post 3-million according to the latest update, so that's always good.

What's the party size going to be? I'd like it as big as possible so I won't miss content. Like, I hate how Dragon Age: Origins had lots of interesting banter but because of the small character limit would only play like 5% of it per playthrough.

Well, with a smaller party size (and a lot of companions) you've got increased replayability.
While I am a bit of a completionist, I like the notion of a big enough game where I find 20% "new" stuff for a two-three playthroughs.

I'm thinking pretty small 3-4.

For those just joining us: the most recent update reveals that not only will there be no romances of the fleshy kind, there will also not be any multiplayer.

Yes, I too am considering reducing my pledge.

 

[slayn]

Forcing every party member to have a romance option is just as dumb as committing to the idea of no romance/sex at all. Love and sex are undeniably important and powerful factors in people's lives and to avoid it is to castrate a part of every character.

But I don't really need actual sex scenes in my rpgs. Primarily because I'm unconvinced a good one could actually be made and attempts to do so are comical rather than sexy. At least with today's technology.

Seeing as they've so far following what PS:T has done, I guess we'll have the same party size as in the og game.
There are at least 7 companions in T:NoT, so we already have to do at least one companion rotation.

Were there signs after $3 million stretch goals would be in smaller increments?

Yeah, they said so in the latest update.

 

[Labadal]

^Good. Makes each stretch goal stand out more.

 

[injurai]

PE did stretch goals the best. They had them in smaller increments. Then a few really big ones to create a final push.

I really liked the endless dungeon. Sounds like Torment is doing something similar with the Castoff's Labyrinth, but no graphic and quickly achievable levels.
