Quantics

Most of you are running High Sierra right ?

FWIW it's working fine on my 2014 MBP (though performance leaves much to be desired). Posting this here in case it helps the devs find the issue.

Can you post a link to his SA post? https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3856099&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=14#post483866770

Will it work on mac?

Short answer is no. Launcher is needed now to perform patching on the fly. Or something like that anyway

Thanks ! Might be a silly question but, is it possible to NOT use the Launcher at all (just like we used to have to do before)? It's actually quite a hassle to have to install mono/etc. on Mac.

Will it work on Mac ?

Still no Mac OS X?

I am happy to help on OS X !

Finally ! All the changes that were teased so far sound interesting. I might start another play through when TWM2 comes out.

Josh said somewhere that it is not going to happen for the WM2 or patch 3.00, but it's definitely something they're considering for a potential sequel.

Really? That's nice. Been one of my pet peeves since the Beta.

Awesome, thanks for listening to us. This is going to make things much easier for everybody.

I played the game fully. Twice. On a mac. Had a very enjoyable experience. Didn't have any game-breaking bug, except the double-click equip bug pre-patch 2.0

This is really a non-issue imo: - The expansion doesn't end on a cliffhanger at all. Plus there's a reasonable amount of content in it. - You can buy the two parts for a discounted price now (https://www.paradoxplaza.com/pillars-of-eternity-the-white-march-expansion-pass), so it's not going to cost you more than if PART1 and PART2 had been released together.

This.

I just wanted to say that I throughly enjoyed the new music in the game. I already liked the original content, but I think I like the expansion music even more. Amazing job !

I've just steamrolled through the main game+expansion using a fighter on hard. Basically using a variant of this build by AndreaColombo: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/80748-buildpreview-lady-of-pain/ I adjusted the gear to use more of the loot found in the expansion+soulbound weapons (also didn't want to sacrifice Eder to get a Might bonus), but this is a DPS machine. I got more crits/damage than anyone in my party. Also, I never used Defender.

I don't understand... who wouldn't want something like that?

I was just about to say, I tried the current mod files with the 2.0.1 beta patch (OS X) and I couldn't get past the loading screen.

Well to be fair (and without too many spoilers) , it's possible to get at least one of the two new companions without doing any quest or fighting. The other one is trickier, and you'll have to fight your way to find them. Mild spoiler below:

Maybe it's just me but I'm enjoying the extension areas more than the base game's. Although this is also partly due to 2.0, and the fact that I started the game with a much better character build.

Wow that's a lot. Loading times are always < 10 seconds for me (and usually < 5 s). But I do have an SSD drive, which I suspect makes things better.

I wish for larger maps, with slightly smaller enemy density. Essentially have less combat encounters, but more memorable ones. This is really straightforward thing to do (since there's no combat xp), but will go a LONG way to improving the game world. TL;DR less trash mobs, larger maps EDIT: oh, and better f****g pathfinding !
