it is Josh's particular sensibilities and interests which made PoE what it is
Exactly!

"And I would be interested in directing Pillars 3 if I can figure out how to make it something I would enjoy that there’s an audience for. It may be that someone else would do a better job at that than me, though."
I don't think that's true. If that game would not conclude the watchers story, I wouldnt buy it and if someone else would make that game, I wouldn't buy it either.-

why is only the weird niche which has fans clamoring for per-rest?
I don't know about others, but I have two reasons: First I just like the concept (You know the idea of learning a spell, than forgetting it after you spoke it. Gives magic meaning). Second Resource Management. I know the system is flawed, but on the other hand ... It's your fault, if you rest-spam.

Why nerf ability, cause it is too much fun?
Because there are people who have that crazy idea that having the ability to cheat isn't the same as having fun.
And that's what an overpowered ability is: A cheat.

And by cheap I mean costing less than, say, five grand.
It's interesting that you say five grands, cause that's exactly what the average Joel Potrykus movie costs (The budget for "Ape" was just 3000). His rule is to stay under 10000. He once said that if he was given 1.000.000, he would make 100 movies instead of one. And in my opinion his films are very impressive.

Now I understand. Schmetterling isn't the translation for butterfly (That's what you learn in school. Out of laziness I presume), butterflies are actually called Tagfalter in German as opposed to Nachtfalter or Motte.
-
Butterflies include moths. Both in English and German. Looked it up on Wikipedia, just to be shure.
And I just realised: Isn't joy of living a common term in English? There is even a movie of that name. -
My favorite one was always Backenbart.
Yiddish has some cool German words in it, like schlepping (dragging around) or schwitzing (sweating), but I'm not shure if these are actual German words or if the Germans learned them from the Jews.
By the way: I think joie de vivre translates to Lebensfreude, so in German you have both words. -
I'm developing a small game

if the watcher mass kill a faction which the npc is ally, the companion of the faction should attack the watchwer.
What really annoyed me was that Pallegina didn't even react, when I found out that the VTC is involved in slave trade. But she was really angry when I accidentally slaughtered the Bardattos and even more when I refused to do the main quest with the VTC (which should be kind of understandable under that circumstances, even for her).

I'm okay with that, to be honest. Pillars features a very different setting to the Forgotten Realms games - the tone is generally more sober and downplayed across the board, even whilst Deadfire probably leaned more to the high fantasy side of things than the first game (and a little too much in that direction at times, in my opinion). I welcome more nuanced voice sets as I feel they fit the overall tone better.
That doesn't mean they have to be that sober. And to be honest, I always liked the funny voice sets best. Like the druggy druid in ID. There has to be at least one.

This forum was a nice little bubble in which you could debate, relax and forget that the whole world is doomed. Not anymore. I'll do the same thing as Josh: I'm out. I don't wanna be here when the rest of those creep kids arrive. Next thing will be daily posts about how SJWs ruined their masturbation experience.

I wish Josh could have made those games completely by himself on a mountaintop isolated from the world with as much time and money as he wanted to. I totally agree with him in almost every aspect be it story or mechanics. OK, I don't like classless systems, but his would have been great.
Edit: All this stupidity made me sad. -
I want them to build a circle and take out their cellphones. That's realistic behaviour.

Other than Divinity: Original Sin 2, already played that
Exactly what I expected.

Looks like our special children get their own PoE now. With an easy to understand story and visually stimulating graphics, so noone gets bored. I think that's a good thing, we don't want to leave anyone behind.
Nothing for me to be honest. I'd rather have an engaging story, excellent worldbuilding and good writing than playing with toy soldiers in my little fairy kingdom. But I understand that this can't work for all of us. I just hope that the weapons will do loooots of damage. It's frustrating for that kind of target group if the game does not give enough positive feedback on their actions.-

It is not, I say.

I remembered something. I know a guy from Russia. His family were German migrants from some generations ago and in the 90s he moved back here. I don't know were in Germany his family is from originally, but he has a very distinct way of speaking. The most noticeable thing is his frequent use of the word "Nu", spoken "Noo". It means something like "well" and he starts every second (German) sentence with it. I like it by the way, as it makes everything sound very calmly and relaxed. His German is not bad at all, he just has a slight accent, but it's just very different from nowadays German and therefore sometimes really hard to understand.
However, "Nu" reminds me strongly of "Ac!" or "Ekera". I know that such kind of habits are common for German communities in Russia, as they were isolated and spoke their own German for a couple of generations.-

Serafen is fine and I'm not native English speaker. Try Udyne in bathhouse. :D
No problem with Serafen, too. I'm not a native speaker, but I have a much more harder time understanding that Australian guy in Doctor House. Udyne is awesome. I don't get what that's about, but she uses some german words, or at least words that are understandable for a german.
As for the Ekera stuff: I liked it very much, though I agree that it was slightly overused.
If I had a Euro for every time a German started a sentence work the word "genau," every time a Brit ended a rhetorical statement with "is/isn't it?" or every time an American interjected the word "cool," I'd be pretty rich too
Cultures have linguistic quirks. I like games that improve upon reality as well, but that doesn't mean they can't borrow from it. It would be much more immersion-breaking if all of the factions spoke the same vanilla iteration of common, imo.
Genau!

Apart from the fact, that there is a forum section for bugs and you are a very untalented bug reporter: Is it common at your workplace that random customers enter and shout orders?

I like her, too. And I'm convinced there is no objective reason not to. You just don't like her, that's all.
As for dumbing down the writing: Seriously? Just enjoy that you have the chance to learn some vocabulary. When I came from school my english was so bad, I couldn't even fully understand a Simpsons episode. Nowadays I can watch foreign movies, even complicated ones and get 90-100% of what's going on depending on the movie. All of that because I just did it again and again and looked everything up, that I couldn't understand. Unfortunately, it doesn't improve my speaking or writing very much.

Since in the sketch it's a customer who enters a petshop (and most likely doesn't know the shopkeeper very well) they use "Haben Sie..."
Yes, yes. But how are they adressing each other in Deadfire? In some games with a historical setting "du" is used every time. In some they use "Ihr" (medieval babble) and in a few they use "Sie" (Personally I don't like that, sounds to modern).
-
Haven't thought it through to be honest, but at first glance, I like it.

"Haben Sie einen Norwegischen Blauling?"
Perfect.
I wish, the official translation companies would ask such stuff in the forums.
P.S.: Maybe not perfect. Do they use "Du", "Sie" or "Ihr" in the german version (Edit: Of Deadfire)? Depending on that the sentence could be
"Habt Ihr einen Norwegischen Blauling?"
or
"Hast du einen Norwegischen Blauling?"
Been away for years, are the old posters still around?

I'm here. Once or twice in a year. It will be more often, when Pillars 3 is on the horizon.
