Consortium and Torment: Tides of Numenera!

[Jhon]

Two very interesting games I've backed on Kickstarter. Both are RPGs where every choice you make really affects everything in the game, both have an interesting story and each has an interesting, original feature.

Torment: Tides of Numenera, created by the same people who created Planescape: Torment, which is considered one of the best RPGs out there. Everything you do affects the game. Death is part of the game, actually it's an IMPORTANT, intersting part of the game and it solves the problem of immersion breaking when you have to reload your save everytime you die or just magically respawn.
It's already past the funding goal and now it's just pledging for stretch goals that will let the developers make the game even more interesting.

Consortium is a really interesting one, I really like the idea of it and it also supports the Oculus Rift which makes it even more awesome!
"Consortium is a role-playing game in which you are able to role-play as yourself.  You are you (as in you can speak as yourself, a man/woman from "our world") and you're being given the opportunity to physically control a man from a parallel world.  This man is first day Consortium field agent Bishop Six, operative for a powerful peacekeeping force in a not-quite-utopia future of 2042."

I love the way each NPC is distinct and has its own personality (Something I missed in Skyrim for example). You have the freedom to say nothing to everyone if you wish to and they will act accordingly, you can even tell them you're from a parallel universe, controlling this man from theirs.

Just wanted to share these two awesome-sounding games with you all and I would love to see Consortium get enough money so I can play it ;P

Torment Tides of Numenera seems really cool, interesting, and unique idea for a game using a choice based gameplay system which I always thought was pretty cool.

Definitely has some cool concept art as well, would probably play that.

Consortium seems like a pretty kewl strategic game.

Yeah, I've always liked games where the choices you can make a serious influence on the game world. I think it's a pity they aren't making it a First-Person game, easier to be immersed that way.

And Consortium isn't really a strategic game, it's actually pretty similar to Numenera in the choice based style gameplay and focus on the story, characters, etc.
I actually want Consortium more than Numenera. From the videos it seems very immersive =P


By the way, I found another really cool RPG looking game! It's called Divinity: Original Sin - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/larianstudios/divinity-original-sin
Just watch the video, looks really nice.
