Josh Sawyer is a beast!

he's probably have played the game hundreds of times, and when you do that, you will be good at it, on the top of that, josh is a smart guy too -
I know stealth, trap and picklock skill arent locked and you can make companions, but i want to use the prebuilt one so i can know their stories. Spreading critical rogue skills seems to be a waste for other classes imo, umless they are really generous with skillpoonts. Also, do idle companions (like if ww leave them at stronghold) receive exp?

I hope the dungeons aren't only filled with hordes of enemies, and combat focused, but filled with booby traps to kill dragons, puzzles and riddles that challenge even the smartest wizard. Like that obe early dungeon in baldur's gate 2 where we must answer riddles from face statues or NWN where we must ring the gongs in correct order Looking at the steam screenshot it looks like there will be at least 1 dungeon with tile based puzzle. I hope there is many more and really tricky, and not just lever / tile puzzles

well to be honest, the first NWN is kinda like MMO wannabe, instead of focusing on campaign and compelling plot and characters, it tries to focus on the online side, which i don't really dig either. glad obsidian fixed it with NWN2, and ultimately, Mask of The Betrayer, which is like the second best videogame story to plancescape. also i feel like a kid here you guys have like so much history with it, like a long-life marriage XD

unlike some of the veterans here, my obsession with the genre only started back in 2011-12. indirectly, it was obsidian that made me a fan of this genre. it all started with new vegas. what i found when playing that game is a whole another new experience back in 2011. i've played dragon age and elder scroll games before, but upon new vegas, it is just really a whole different experience. the world building, NPC complexity, writing, the world and how it react to what you did, it's all just harmoniously blend into one amazing experience. that excited high school student at the time just opened door to a whole new genre of videogame he's been missing his whole life. i looked up about who made new vegas, and found out it wasn't bethesda, and discovered obsidian, and the connection to black isle guys. wanting more, i looked up fallout 1 and 2 which were made by the key persons of obsidian, and i torrented fallout 1, and tried it for the first time. it was little rough at first. everything looks blurry, controls and interface are clunky, all the complaints "younger gamers" usually have playing olden games. after 10 hour or so, i weirdly fell in love with that ancient software and from that i began to slowly overlook the muddy part, and found a hidden gem beneath decades old dust in them. after that i started with morrowind, then planescape torment, which is probably the best thing i have ever played at that time, i fell even deeper in love, then the infamous baldur's gate series, KOTOR 1/2, jade empire, fallout 2, NWN and indie titles like avernum. since that i never stopped playing games from this genre. after i finished one games, immediately i moved on to another. though up until last year, like 50% of them were pirated, the others i bought from shared steam account. after i scored a nice part time job,around summer 2014 which gave me quite a disposable income, i started to actually buying my games, and steam started using my local currency really helps alot. i have played dozens of games, and it still feel like i'm just scratching the surface. there are just alot of wonderful games i haven't experienced and all these is absolutely going to keep me busy for years ahead, even not counting the new games.

Does PoE have cinematics?
apolloooo replied to Slish's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
probably one for the opening, but it is quite unecessarily expensive
