Mako is kool. Dissapointed about no non humans.

"If I lived in Gaza, I'd want nothing more than to bomb Israel to non-existence. Heck ,I don't live in Gaza and I'd still want to dismantle that faschist little state (and most of the middle east)." And, that's the problem. Your goal (as is Hamas) is to destroy people not save people. You should help Hamas the enxt time they throw Palestinians off the roof of a building because they disagree with them.

"Yeah, that's not how quality is measured. Bio is ****. Don't bother replying fanboy." They've been successful because they make fun games people want to play. Don't be butthurt about it. I loathe Bethesda personally but they've been successful for the same reason. Same with the Twitcher folks. ">keeps thinking that the same people who've made great games in the past still work at bio I mean do I need to say more? No, I didn't think so." wut r u babbbbbblinggg aboot>

"I don't know if BioWare can pull off horror properly. If that is, indeed, what it's going to be." Not Bioware doing it. It's EA. \ Besdies, at one time, BIO had no experience making RPGs. In fact, at one point they had no experience making games. That was nearly 2 decades ago. Considering their success, they must have been able to figure things out, Then again, it's not Bio doing it. It's EA.

"Shadowrun didn't have inventory management hell, I'll give it a points decision on that basis alone." I'd rather have a 'messy' inventory ala DOS than a boring/unimaginative one like SR.

"For six days in early June, Hamas gunmen physically forced the closure of all the banks in the Gaza Strip, due to a dispute over salaries with the West Bank–based Palestinian Authority." Gotta love Hamas and their supporters who claims Hamas just wants lvoe, happiness, and puppies. Hamas wants power. And, they will murder ANYONE - jewish, Christian, Isreali, Arab, Muslim, or Palestinian. They are evil to the core. They are what those religious extremists in the US would be if they actually had power. Hamas doesn't give a crap about Palestine or Palestinians. That's a FACT. \The fact that Palestinians actually voted for them just shows that people are stupid everywhere and will get suckered by scumbags who yell the right things while doing everything but that. Does Hamas care that isreal has killed Palestinians? No. They do not. \Isreal is far from perfect. Some of their targets seem iffy to me but anyone defending Hamas really need to learn what Hamas is about. Hamas knows that with peace they would cease to exist since their entire purpose is to destroy an entire country, religion, and people. If they succeed? then what? They'll start targeting fellow Palestinians even more if they have a different faith than Hamas. Palestinians deserve to live in peace but they never will as long as Hamas is allowed to control them.

"Run through it now, it's amazing, not overly long, and you will have no trouble playing it a second time close together. This news makes me happy. This is still the best kickstarter project I've backed at this point. " Nah. DOS is better and SRR is merely okay. DOS is slightly above average.

They should. They'r ehilarious espicially when people take a crybaby stance over them and take it so personally. And, your opinion about 'opinions as fact' is not factual and that is a fact. Almost done game. Now level 21.

Gameplay video: Detailed Response
Volourn replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Races/classes/backgrounds need to have whatever mechanical bonuses/minuses listed. As an 'old skooler' those picturesque dialogue screens are just unneeded and will ruin my make beleive 'immersion' as they'll take me out of the game. They'll be alright but my opreferences is not to sue them as they add nothing that a simple normal on screen dialogue process would do. Character stat management looks boring as it seems caharacetrs will simply be all looking similar. Need more range. Otherwise, looks good. -
They should add in what eachr ace/class/background/etc gives you character wise when you look at them.

Obsidian isn't like other KS companies. How many of them have over 100 employees? How many of them have had had more than one million + selling games? How many of them have had contracts with some of the biggest publishers and IPs in the business? How many of them have had a game sell over 5 million copies as well as others that have sold over a million easily? How many of them have built in audiences? Sorry, but you guys spitting in the face of Obsidian and expecting them to have crap sales is silly. 1 million or bust. PERIOD. "I imagine that Obsidian would be ecstatic with a million sales and would be hoping for such a figure, but they need nothing like that to be successful, and that's fact." So, you think Obsidian has no customer base? History proves otherwise. FACT: No Bioware game has sold as much as Obsidian's best selling game. FACT. Not BG2. Not NWN. Not KOTOR. Not DA. Not ME. So, why do you hate Obsidian so much you expect them to go backwards and fail? That's disgusting.

"I honestly can't see PoE selling a million, as great as I hope it will be. Isometric RPG, man. Look at the D:OS sales, 150,000 so far? Certainly nothing to be sniffed at. We're a niche that want this kind of thing. The big money RPGs are the big shiny ones like W3 and DA:I." If PE doesn't sell a million it's a failure. Isometric RPGs have sold over a million. Obsidian has released multiple games that have sold well over a million. This game has been heavily hyped in the gaming media. There is no excuse for this game not selling lots. DOS is a joke. The fanboys are overrating its popularity. They brag about 250k or so sales for it but ignore the fact that DD (the game it leeches from) sold over a million. \ Bottom line is if PE can't reach million sales it be an EPIC FAIL.

Me too. And, yours is one of the worst kind.

"Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians? Sez who?" Sez Hamas. Repeatedly. Do you anything about Hamas or just pretend to? They LOATHE the typical Palestinian.

"or they wanted to compete with PoE(trying to gimp it), in their mind(probably) PoE is a direct competitor." L0L But, no. "I doubt that PoE will sell a million, but a couple hundred thousand is pretty reasonable, especially if we(backers) give it plenty of good word of mouth." \ If it doesn't sell at least a million copies, it is a failure. Obsidian is not some rinky dinky organization. It's a veteran RPg devloper with games that have sold millions. In fact, their best selling game has outsold BIO's best selling excuses. No excuses. people who expect Obsidian's games to bomb disrespect Obsidian, and yes, 200k sales, is a bomb. "If PoE shows it self to be the better spiritual successor, it could seriously gimp DA in the PC market (where it is already down for the count)." \ \L0L

"Or you know... lift the blockade of Gaza." Talk to Egypt.

"That said, this doesn't look very good. Either the game's a mess and they are taking all the time they can physically have to finish it into some semblance of shape... or November's less crowded this year than it's been in the last few and they're profiting of it to give their first game on the new engine and after two... controversial ones an extra layer of polish. Still, colour me worried." Games are delayed all the time. No big deal. AS long as it doesn't fall into Duke Nuke 'Em territory it is meaningless.

Hamas hates Palestinians as much if not more than they hate Isrealis. They lvoe it when Palestinians are murdered. In fact, they love it so much they loved to murder Palestinians personally including shoving them off buildings for opposing Hamas. \Palestinians deserve to live in peace but they never will as long as Hamas has powered and Hamas will have power as long as many Palestinians get brainwashed by Hamas. The difference between Hamas and Isreal. isreal's goal is to protect isrealis. Hamas' goal is to destroy isreal. That's it. They don't want to protect Palestinians. Plenty of Aravs/Plaestinian or otherwise manage to live in Isreal proper in peace. Go figure.

That's a discription of 99.9% of RPGs ever.

"Given the difference in both target audiences I'd say there isn't a conflict." \ Their target audiences are essentially the same. Nice try, though. If there is only difference is that BIO/DA's target audience encomapsses more people. Then again, Obsidian has the best selling game of either company so one could argue they should sell more. Plus,. here's the fact, that this news won't stop both games selling lots. \ \Afterall, both Bethesda and BIO have released games at the same time relatively and both do well. I expect both DA3 and PE to sell 1mil+ in the first month or be considered failures. PERIOD.

"I'm playing a rogue-like character, and from a pure single target damage perspective, that character is the top in most fights." Nah.

"My main gripes are pretty much listed above - empty areas and the fact I get my ass handed to me everywhere I go. I appreciate a challenge and I don't suck at games but still..." The game isn't hard. I wouldn't neccessarily call it 'easy' but I would say it's fine. The best tip early on is just try to fight creatures your own level. And, if you see something 3 levels higher run don't walk. L0L "Sneaking is incredibly, incredibly important." No, it isn't. I haven't used it once. Same with pick pocket. People complain about lack of money but this game is at ph@t lewt heaven as any game. Some battles you end up with 10+ magic items (not counting potions or scrolls). "As for others, two-handed fighter with man-at-arms, especially with 1 Witchcraft (for Oath of Desecration)" Your fighter doesn't need to do that. Just have a spellcaster with witchcraft cast it on them. My first round with spellcaster is usually, depending on situation, haste + oath on fighter or one of those plus a summon if I think I'll need the extra distraction.Also, one cna't ignore the man at arms extra talents. Some of them are doozies even if they cost points. The two abilities that make you spin attack ie. whirlwind (dustdevil and the other one) are good. And, flurry is deadly - just don't use it when you areblinded. HAHA! Anyways, a certain skill you get later on annoys me. It replaces other abilities in that pisses me off. Such a waste of skill points. Whatever issues I have with the game, it is still a very fun game.

Why?

"Sorry, but the whole tone of your post is needlessly offensive and snarky and I don't think you really want the game to offer the best possible experience which is imo quite sad. You don't offer any argument why endless skill and stat books from the teller of secrets should stay in the game but at the same time you call people who actually gave reasonable feedback "whiners" and stuff. I don't know if you want to be taken seriously but in the case, that's not the right way to achieve that..." I find your post offensive. All that spam and you said nothing about 8why* the stat books are overpowered. Youw ant overpowered? All the teleport type spells. All the summons. All the damaging spells. All the weapons. Almsot all the talents. All the equipment. All the elemtns. That stuff is overpowered and makes the game easier. Seriously, people are bragging how they just get their resistances up over 100% and get healed by the enemy. How is that balanced? That was lame in BG2 it is lame DOS. btw, I like the game, but the fanboys defending it no matter what are laughable. But, hey, this 'oldskool' RPG allows me to have over 1000 hit points before level 10. LMAO And, look it has cooldowns just like any MMO and DA which people her elike to bash for having cooldowns. And, let's not forget the 'old skool' stopable of playing RPS for dialogues. L0L But, so fanboys don't pout too much. There is good stuff in the game. The combat is fun. Balanced, unbalanced, easy, ahrd, it is simply fun. And, while the main story like Tigranes says is rubbish the little side stories can be pretty good. Character building is so much fun. So much so i wish you could just throw the two dumb joinables out and make 4 of your own characters. LONG LIVE DOS! DOWN WITH DOS FANBOYS!
