And of course, now they confirmed that they will be either in-game or possibilities for modders. Whoops.

Because they just have to be at launch, they can't be added at a later date ofc.

And what is that you requested?

Just backed: it's absolutely brilliant!

I like the looks of the new game. But performance is abysmal.

This needs more publicity. Any idea how to ensure this gets maximum diffusion?

Just like Baldur's gate.

Again, Inon Zur guys, the mind behind DAO music.

That is false, there's several maps that make up the background for PoE, and with Deadfire there's even more lighting effects on the background. It's not just a flat image, you couldn't draw a 2D image and place it into PoE. That sounds like exactly what I was trying to say... The background is 2D and all the effects and models are placed on top of it. So not impossible by far.

In Baldur's gate at least they could be copied and altered somewhat. Many mods do exist that do that.

Gameplay and characters I can tolerate to be limited to. But I'm still not buying what they said about the SDK.

They aren't 'ignoring' modding. Its simply too difficult for modders to make new maps for this game. I think Josh said something about maybe being able to add new items or characters but everything else is just not feasible. I'm not buying this.

Then I regret my pledge. It's just mind boggling that, with all the money they have made, their obvious awareness that modding makes games live much longer AND the fact that they are using Unity 5 which can actually be downloaded by everyone and thus they wouldn't even need to devise a complex or expensive framework to actually make it work, They will STILL ignore this.

Ah, someone who actually reads my mind!

Pillars of Eternity 1 music was nice, but nothing exceptional. Can we expect more variety, in this sequel? something more significant for boss battles, specific moments and whatnot?

I can agree with this.

Back then for PoE1 they said that they would have considered it for this game. I'm just checking if they are going back on their word. And ignoring modding is foolish,

That could work. But a "recharge system" of sorts would also be needed.

Oh, even worse than before! Nah, it just means that everyone will have more spells within each single fight, and that in turn will improve encounter design I suppose I'll see during the beta.

Oh, even worse than before!

Oh dear. I suppose I'll have to actually finish PoE then.

Can we hope to get rid of the D&D 4th Spellcasting mechanics and have something either more traditional (MP, D&D5th) or more unique?

Shall we expect a save transfer from PoE1?

Will this game actually feature proper modding, or it is going to be a disappointment like PoE 1?
