So i've just started a play through with a fire godlike Cipher, and just hit Gilded Vale... Now my understanding is that it's common world knowledge that godlikes can't reproduce... So i'm standing there, head basically on fire... I have flames coming out of my head... And one of the first questions I get asked is "Have I ever conceived a Hollowborn child?" Ermmm... Hello?? Flames out of head?? Has anyone else noticed "disconnects" between "world knowledge" and what gets presented in game through conversations?

I'm planning on turning the lights off, and playing the game until unconsciousness sets in -
ID@Xbox / Windows 10?
FireExit replied to zmally's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
@ruzen Far future? Windows 10 is slated to be out later this year @xmally I suspect what it means is that the ID@XBOX program is expanding to cover PC titles, rather then PoE being available on the XBone -
Steam Achievements
FireExit replied to kryadan's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
There is one achievement that I am not sure is really possible (without using some sort of exploit). It is called the Triple Crown Solo and requires that the player play the entire game solo, on expert mode, with trial of iron (party wipe deletes save), with Path of the Damned difficulty. None of our testers were able to get it naturally. Challenge Accepted! and yes, i'm *obviously* wearing a suit..... -

Mishandled development
FireExit replied to Malignacious's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Good-bye! We get it Malignacious; you want poe to be like that living embodiment of mediocrity, Dungeon Siege 3. That game almost no one liked, and had no market appeal at all. Your idea that Obsidian should avoid the IE formula that guarantees success in favor of an approach that failed miserably already is beyond foolish. This - I actually just reinstalled and played a bit of DS3 just in case my original thoughts of the game were jaded.... Nope, it's still a bad Diablo2 clone, nothing like the original DS I will admit it's graphically pretty, but it lacks game play substance - Keep clicking til the mobs die, no tactics to speak of... I am personally very much looking forward to POE, and while I was looking forward to playing it over the Christmas period, im just as happy to wait for extra polish- 80 replies

It depends on the models being used. Each "cosmetic" change to indicate hurt would result in more art time required for the "damage" to be rendered, more coding time, etc.... And that's just considering the top level. How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Do you have just generic damage, or more specific? Do characters limp? Limbs dangle uselessly? Return on investment could be quite low at the end of the day
