[Almost here!]

this is the time that i wish i don't have work and college and freezing chamber exist

[steam, will there be preload?]

That would be cool. I don't want the DRM, but I want the hours counter and fast patches.

choices choices XD

 

btw since steam is using my local currency, the full price of this game is USD 23 for me. (transferred from 299,000 IDR) and that's alot cheaper than gog.

[Does the term "realistic" have any meaning in RPGs?]

imho, realism isn't important in most videogames. it is consistency and the sense they put in the world. if you have a fantasy or scifi world, you have to put a variable or 2 that makes the world makes sense. look at mass effect, dragon age, elder scrolls. there are alot of un-realism in those series, but the way they explained how some unnatural objects and forces can exist, like the discovery of element zero and mass relays, because of the imperium magisters, old elven phanteon, the old gods, and the fade, because of how mundus relationship with aetherius and all the aedra/daedra. they aren't realistic, but at the very least they give a reason why we can believe that particular fictional world can run like that, why blue alien chicks can control gravity, why demons and darkspawn exist, why people are casually flinging fireballs at each other.

[Does this game have weather effect ?]

it would be cool, but i really see no need for variable weather system for games like this. if they have time/cash to do it, it'd be welcome tho

[Yet Another Pillars of Eternity beta preview]

wow reading that was so painful. it shows just how much research and experience that guy has lol

[Will the companions be "Good" or "Evil"?]

if we're going t have D&D alignment, i prefer that we can have a part developing the companions, like in BG2, viconia can turn from evil to neutral, etc, etc

[steam, will there be preload?]

OMG thank you guys! march 26 is gonna be awesome :D

[steam, will there be preload?]

In todays world 25gb is considered "ok" gta5 needs 65gb   so that has pre-load feature at steam.

wolfenstein: the new order is like 48 GB and took me 40 hours to download >__>

[About the first expansion]

sorry looks like i just embarrassed myself in front of everyone >_>

 

and yeah, i have faith in obsidian, plus unlike other publisher-developer relationship, the fund of the development doesn't come from paradox and they don't have any control over the content, unlike say, parasitic relationship between blood sucking EA and poor dying bioware

 

the expansion pack at the very best will be like shivering island, all new vegas DLC, throne of bhaal, or even the best one, mask of the betrayer, at the very least tales of the sword coast thingy.

[About the first expansion]

umm everyone knows that red boot DLC is just a joke right? when you click it, the game literally say

 

"you didn't really think we would put DLC in wasteland 2 right?"

 

the the ok option is basically "of course not"

 

it's kinda inexile mocking AAA publisher with their DLC practices

[steam, will there be preload?]

First, OP, if you're paying for 5 Mb/s but only get 500 KB/s Down, you should probably get a new ISP. It is very common that Upload speed is restricted (usually at a 1/10 rate) but marketing something as 5 Mb/s but only provide 500 KB/s Down sounds fishy as hell.

 

no it's the right one.

 

the promoted speed is 5 megabit (with lower case Mb) and downloads usually use Bytes (with upper case B, like MB). 5 Mbps translate to 625KBPS, which is pretty much my usual peak download without browsing.

when browsing stuff like forums, imgur, facebook, depend on the page load size it can go down, so i put average 500 KBps

[any FAQ that explain the basic mechanic of the game?]

since the beta is out there for months, i think there should be some good page that explain the basic mechanics like stats, skills, etc.

[steam, will there be preload?]

heh, too bad. 25 GB is quite big tho. wasteland 2 took all night to download, it's about the same size

[steam, will there be preload?]

i have slow internet (about 5MbPS, which transfer to 500~KBPS in download) and the game is about 25GB which will take >15 hours to download. i hope we can download the files several days before release so i can play right after the game unlocks.

 

i just pre ordered the hero edition (that's all i can afford right now )
