This is apparently old news but I have been living under a rock and I didn't see a thread...so thought I'd start one for those that might be interested in this. Basically via Kickstarter, Obsidian is making a current gen game that plays and feels like the old classics: Planescape, Baldurs, Icewind Dale, etc. They have successfully reached their pledge goals and are now approximately at $4,000,000 in donations already. Lowest "donation" is $25 and it nets you a digital copy of the game once it is released in a estimated 2014. Essentially a pre-order but helps with development and ultimately how good the game will be. Here for the official page: https://eternity.obsidian.net/
"Project Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur’s Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.
Combat uses a tactical real-time with pause system - positioning your party and coordinating attacks and abilities is one of the keys to success. The world map is dotted with unique locations and wilderness ripe for exploration and questing. You’ll create your own character and collect companions along the way – taking him or her not just through this story, but, with your continued support, through future adventures. You will engage in dialogues that are deep, and offer many choices to determine the fate of you and your party. …and you'll experience a story that explores mature themes and presents you with complex, difficult choices to shape how your story plays out."
