The legendary masterminds behind the greatest western cRPGs of all time, such as Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Planescape: Torment, Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas, Icewind Dale 1 & 2, Arcanum and many more have decided to make use of the crowd-funding craze going on right now and bring back the magic of the great games of the past mentioned above to the players of today.
Click the link for more details and a short clip explaining the entire project in more detail. If any gaming project out there deserves your financial aid it is this one, in my opinion.
The Project Eternity Kickstarter was launched only a few hours ago and it has already received a backing of almost half a million dollars. I think it goes without saying that Kickstarter will not remain the only source of funding for this bound-to-be-huge title, but it will certainly help the good folks at Obsidian to stay true to their vision and come up with a masterpiece truly worthy of our time and our money, like no other in the past few years.

I will try to update the thread as more information will be available. I am truly exited! I haven't felt emotional about anything computer related since the dawn of Starcraft and the fact that I'm smiling in joy right now just reading about this project really says a lot about the state of modern gaming.
