Can't wait !

To react about the fact that players will only get xp once for "meeting" the creatures the first time... A suggestion : maybe it would help to just attribute a low amount of xp, that would be unsignificant for leveling up, but psychologically here to meet peoples' standards from old rpgs. Let's say, main character's level is 40. Next level amount of xp required : 873 450 xp. Killing a group of spiders : 150 xp. It would be better than just "nothing". As Josh said above in the video, "it feels weird for some players".

Again, I'm starting to think that you only want to understand what you want to understand. You can have your opinion, I have mine. But don't judge : here is the difference. You started to talk about "disease" and "pun pandemic". Have I talked trash about you before that ? No. That's it.

Haha, and thanks god, I'm not your wife. Hopefully. The world is huge, and every person needs someone that fits him... otherwise You are funny. Really. You talk. And too much. If you don't like people "whining", why are you commenting almost every single post here ? Dude, it's been now 6 pages, you should know that it is about "emptyness" or maybe you need me to remind you that it was a project based on a fund raise... So yes, please accept my apologies for asking a few "cosmetic stuff" in the game. I don't know, just stop and go wander around. You are philosophing, and blabla... I have already explained my point of view : I am not a hater that hates the game or whatsoever. I am not "whining", whining is something pejorative/negative... I am just expressing my worries and hope that they will be heard. So please, stop doing your "1 vs all", this is getting ridiculous and nobody's really answering you btw. If you don't like it, one more time, please go on some other threads. We know that you are confident. We know you believe in the devs. Yes we will all have a great game... I just hope that you won't start to go tweaking some .ini things if the game that you are "thinking" fits you. I'm just waiting for it too much, and I'm afraid to be disappointed... That's it. I'm not complaining like a fanboy about "oh PoE is so bad !! Divinity can already do all of this stuff ". Anyway, hope your wife has some pills. Should be hard. lol.

Thanks for the feedback... especially from a dev The ideas proposed by Conjurer are nice ;D

... I think somethimes you talk a little bit too much. If you like it the way it is, that's really fine. I just hope that you won't then start to mod it by adding "ultimate Gui Weidu fixpack v4.12" from there, neither some "Unfinish business NPC" or whatever. Of course we can give our worries (interprated by "complains") goddess. The project was started thanks to all of our money, it was only drawings on A4 papers 2-3 years ago that Obsidian had already got millions of $... It was a fund raise project based on what the "community wanted" on kickstarter remember ? And if $ X amount was reached, we could have more stuff. So yeah, we can express our worries until the end. If you're confident, no problem... and you're perfectly right, we are putting a lot of love in PoE. Plus, we've never put into consideration the game developers' talents. What talents are needed in order to populate some towns ? We are all happy that the game will come out... but sorry for being worried after 10-15 years of waiting for a decent real RPG game. My memories are from 1999... Planescape Torment... 640x480 resolution screen. Since, I have only played meaningless RPGs... This project is what I've been waiting since it was announced. We are 2 months from the release, hell yeah I'm thrilled but at the same time, afraid to be disappointed.

Other than that, I can hardly believe that they will not incorporate life in the cities. It is so obvious. I mean, it's been more than 10 years now that players have all the same references in terms of RPG (BG, Planescape, Fallout...). Larian Studios has done it. I mean before the streaming never I would have thought that those details would have missed in the final release.

There actually are butterflies in game! I noticed one when Josh went through city gates. I was pretty happy to see that butterfly. He was trolling and making fun of us. Who cares, I'm still damn excited about the butterfly. Crickets and butterflies. Who needs populated cities, when our insect overlords are in game. I do agree with you bro

There actually are butterflies in game! I noticed one when Josh went through city gates. I was pretty happy to see that butterfly. He was trolling and making fun of us. At some time, there will always be some wankers who will come and try to fu** every conversation up.

I guess NPCs with sombreros, smoking cigarillos would also be nice. If you wanna talk about your life, I guess there is another topic. Here the topic was about the emptyness of some towns. You don't wanna talk about it, be rude and ironical, your place won't be here.

Friends, coming back to the topic (or the devs will lose us ^^), so in general, some of us agree that, excluding storylines and other stuff, the cities need a little bit more "live" in them ? I understood that for others, it seems "ok". I do not remember who was talking about this but true, please add a little more pets, cows, butterflies, wandering NPCs. That would be it for me for the moment

This is good news then ! Again, I am not here to criticize the game. On the contrary, I just cannot wait for it... So good things if there's a storyline etc... explaining the reasons. As I said previously on the post showing the screens, I do not know at what development phase were taken the screen (so might not be representative) but, if the game is in that state : no storyline for this emptyness, that would be a real issue.

Actually I would like to be able to edit my first post to change "PNJ" which is the acronym for NPC in French but can't find the option. I can do it for this one but for the 1st one... None... To come back to the topic, if we watch : A. this video at the Gamescom 2014, we can clearly hear that there are indeed ambient sounds (birds etc...) : www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoyrKRoknp4 B. for those who missed it : the most recent stream from Josh 2 days ago was here : http://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive/b/611493909 I just don't know why somehow during the streaming of 2 days ago, we couldn't hear anything. And to come back to the topic, yes, sorry to insist on that but the cities are way to empty : I took some in-game screenshots (not the ones published by obsidian showing just the architectures). A small "remark" : I do not know at what phase of development were the screenshots taken. Here is randomly a screenshot I took from the latest stream 2 days ago : http://static.mnium.org/images/contenu/actus/JeuxVideo/Kickstarter/POE_2.jpg Compared to a Baldur's Gate II (blue circles) or even Divinity :

Was divinity developed on unity? If yes the towns are not that empty. If Some Guy From larian studio can do it, why wouldnt obsidian ? Sorry, writing from the phone and somehow everything is messy.
