  1.  

    Loading times are acceptable on my system (2xSSD in raid 0 -- maxes out sata3 controller bandwidth)

    Huge problem with this is my raid 0 SSDs are not my windows drive. PoE saves games to my windows drive.

     

    Shouldn't really be relevant. The saves are ~3mb. Loading such a small amount of data into RAM, even from old HDDs, will take a fraction of a second.

    The load times must necessarily be due to the loading of game resources.

  2. Outside of glitches, an option to turn the auto-save off would help a lot. The auto-save every time you enter/exit an inn, for example, especially multiple times for a side quest say. Super annoying, even if it is only 5-6 seconds (on my HDD). I really don't like constant auto-save functions, myself.

    Just in case you didn't know: http://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/14/?

    It hasn't yet been updated to the newest version though and it isn't compatible with IE Mod.

  3. Fair enough. I'll rescind the OP comment. Not like I want to see my favorite class nerfed or anything - was just a bit taken aback. xD

     

    Let's call it "extreme risk, extreme reward" instead. I still took Brutal Strikes in prep for Threatening Prescence. :p

     

    Nerf Chanter and Cipher instead! ;)

    Don't you touch mah CIPHER!!!

    Seriously though, it's hilarious. I lolled at Mind Lance (~40 pierce damage in a line) AKA Drake Be Gone.

  4. I agree, although I don't see them reversing the terrible choice they made. It's a shame we apparently live in a world nowadays where people with gigantic big mouths are listened to, regardless of what crap they're spouting.

    If that was the case the limerick wouldn't have been removed.

    The bigots have been much, much louder and generated much more outrage than us social justice advocates could ever manage.

    It is rather fascinating how the GG brigade can generate outrage out of pretty much nothing. Someone thinks that some ingame content is harmful? Oh, that must certainly be an attempt to undermine free speech and institute censorship once more. Verily, it'll be the end western civilisation if we take any pains to accommodate oppressed minorities! Just look at that hellhole Sweden.

     

    It would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing.

    1. That image is a spoiler.

    2. 'Marking' is an excellent property.

    3. The speed multiplier awesome too.

    4. The uniques in BG/BG2 aren't really all that interesting comparatively. They mostly just have extra damage of various types and bonus THAC0. Some of them have per rest abilities and/or immunities, neither of which I need on a weapon. There are a few ridiculously powerful weapons such as Crom Faeyr, but they are kinda cheesy.

     

    I do think it's a shame that you can't add a Lash to that blade, but I'll still be using it.

  6. I don't think they are rushed or anything. Those you have linked are just a bit more "realistic" looking.

     

    No, it's not the realism. More work clearly went into Wespenfresser's images. LLaney can't spend as much time on a single portrait as Wespen obviously did, I fully recognize that, but I do think the current portraits lack some detail.

    I'd also like more variation in expressions. Most of the current portraits either have a faint smile or look disinterested.

     

    EDIT: I don't want to come across the wrong way here: I do like the portraits. It's good artwork and I appreciate the effort that has clearly been put into it. :)

    Now, the person who originally tweeted that complaint consistently comes across as a sociopathic monster in her tweets. So maybe Obsidian should not have treated a tweet from a person like that seriously. On the other hand, Obsidian couldn't necessarily know that this person was like that.

    Link?

    it might seem to be silly jokes, but it's all like that, and not jokingly

     

    Even if I bought into the way it's been framed it is obviously hyperbole to call her a sociopathic monster (and dehumanising).

     

    Go see his twitter then if you believe he's completely normal and that's all framed.

     

    SHE

     

    What the is wrong with you? Do you enjoy being wrong-minded or are you just so lacking in empathy that you cannot fathom how damaging it is to trans* people to be repeatedly labelled with the wrong gender? Are you completely and utterly incapable of giving a sh!t about others?

     

    Cant EDIT: Do not bypass the language filter, please.
