So... Was it worth your pledge?
Yes. So far, I like it a lot. $125 I do not regret.

Sorry but, what? No it doesn't ... lol. I don't play on normal, but nothing about the pace and damage of anything feels IE. On normal, it does.

Framerate stable here, and more smooth than normal. The changes look nice so far. I got the Winfrith earthquake effect again, though. Otherwise, 20 minutes in, seems like a good patch.

Backer Beta Build 333 is live!
- Aug-Oct PoE BB - unwelcome similarities to DA2?
I like the 3 hour bb 301 build better thand DA2 already. So, no.- Combat XP - What Just Happened..?
However, it is something every GM at pen'n'paper games was 'forced' to do from time to time. There's nothing worse than missing on the thrill of an encounter you ve planned way ahead, only b/c the players have become stronger than you expected. I find nothing wrong with that, nor my PCs the times I tell 'em I did it. Actually, they support my doing it. There is no save/reload system in pnp. cRPG will be less flexible in that respect by default, as you already have a safety net, unless playing ironman.- Update #86: Polish, Feedback, Bugfixing, and Goodies

Maybe something else you have (besides athletics) is leading to your success? Also what difficulty is this on? Normal, but with best inn buff as well.- The quests/lore/writing in the beta - likes and dislikes

Yes, potentially good news.- Here is a big reason why v301 "feels better"
I have no such bug on any save.- Capitalism & Socialism
Mussolini didn't have enough time to prove he was as bad as Stalin. Stalin was responsible for far more misery, being in control for much longer.- Capitalism & Socialism
And I would say they were extreme right wing populists, with socialist organizational structures.- Capitalism & Socialism
Of course they were. You know what else? They were fascist. Which one had more influence on their society and economy?- Capitalism & Socialism
Fascists do not support property rights at all. That's not a mixed system. It's just a socialist one. It's a different approach than most socialists, but the core idea of socialism, the opposition to private property (Or all property for some variants); is 100% untouched. The core idea of capitalism, the respect for property; is 100% gone. Both Mussolini and Hitler had mixed economies. They were fiercely anti-communist. They were both fiercely anti-liberal, too. That's true. Both disregarded property rights when it suited them, since they were autocratic opportunists who had essentially declared martial law, at all times. Fascism does not equal socialism, not in any peer reviewed political spectrum. I have a bad taste in my mouth for either system, but I cannot equate true fascism with socialism. Doesn't compute.- Capitalism & Socialism
Fascist ideology is supported by a mixed economy. The evil comes not from their economic policies, but from their warlike, nationalistic, hypercollectivist vitriol. They are Romulans who think they are Vulcan. It's not useful in the debate of socialism vs. capitalism, as it doesn't fall in line with either school of thought.- Capitalism & Socialism
Fascist ideologies often have (somewhat) equal parts socialism and capitalism. That was the point. The problem was that they never seem to take the most beneficial aspects of either/both. It's further made inoperable when a strong sense of nationalism is thrown into the mix. It's not a terribly interesting line of debate in current day geopolitics, imo.- A Positive Video: Josh Sawyer and Pillars of Eternity
Having alpha/beta tested a lot of games, you're not being negative. You're beta testing properly and doing a heck of a job at it. Actually, other than a few oddballs, the beta backer community is pretty good.- 2 rings, an amulet and a cloak!
The attribute system, while undergoing some work, is a little light on character customization. More gear slots usually* means more customization of the character. People like gear. A good percentage of the enjoyment of these games is the item hunt. More empty slots, more reason to continue hunting for items and more motivation to explore more content.- At the risk of sounding like a troll....are you guys trolls?
Of course not. R00fles!- 2 rings, an amulet and a cloak!
I too like items. +1 to the thread. - Aug-Oct PoE BB - unwelcome similarities to DA2?
