Again, have to agree with Nonek, with the small addition that publishers and designers do what the buyer want.... and we, nostalgic, old, grand fathers gamers, are a minority in today gaming world. Plus the publishers don't like risk. They do what is sure to work, and bring money.... therwise there is indie publishing but it's limited by nature....

Thank you all for you complete answers. I know more about what to await from PoE. Still if it lacks of interactivity, it can still be a very good, fun cRPG, story driven, with a lot of companions interactitys/dialogs even if it lack life... That may work for me. It worked in IW and Fallouts. No, never played P : T. For what reason I missed it ? Don't remeber. Will try it at gog maybe. Will take a look to Divinity : Original Sin too.... Coming to discussion, I understand both of your points Nonek and Teslacrashed.... I also understand that PoE, with a relativly small budget, have the goal to recreate the feel of old Infinity games and the public is here for that... The only modernday rpg where i feel "life" is a modded Oblivion or Skyrim , still they are truly big big games.... Again thanks for answers and sorry for poor English.

Hello, I'm new here and it's only efw days ago that i discovered PoE.... Reviewing all the posts, the pledges things. I would like to ask some questions that i didn't find answers in forum or in blog... First, I never really played BG games, never go more than Beregost. I just didn't catch with the game (more on this later) On the other hand i did liked IW games and Fallout 1 & 2 and played them years ago multiple times. I didn't catch with BG games because coming from Ultima 7 and 7 1/2 i was foudnig a lack of life in BG games. Lack of interactivity with environment, with NPC.... The story was good but I was unable to check evry barrel, unable to take food from table or cook anything, unable to close shutters.... The NPC were saying their stuff then were vanishing to void.... And they had no diary... I missed the crowded inns from Ultima games at meal times, and NPC sleeping during nights... So my questions are : is there any change at this point in PoE, or is the philosophy the same. I do understand that people are demanding a Infinty engine like game, but still, bringing more life would be so good. Thanx for answers.
