Guys I recently discovered Post-Yugoslav cinema and I absolutely love it. Its like Tarantino but on steroids. Anyone else into really obscure fringes of cinema?

If passionate people with modest budgets make better games than AAA developers, how about passionate people with big budgets? Good question. Generally it doesn't work that way (wherever there is huge money involved there is a deficit of passion and love) but there is one exception I know of called CD Projekt Red.

An Honest but Harsh Review on the Setting
Luj1 replied to guguma's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
The only original thing in the setting/story is blowing a living god with a bomb. All this soul crap is so cliché. Godlikes are just like tieflings and other planar races from DnD. Theyre also implemented very weakly, as I did get like 2 reaction to my Death Godlike the whole game. So yeah I know they wanted to spice it up with godlikes and whatnot, but PoE 's world is still 99% generic epic fantasy -
An Honest but Harsh Review on the Setting

I agree with everything you said OP. But this forum is 80% bleeding hearts who will defend Obsidian at all costs. I call them Obsidrones. The setting is mediocre. And the whole game is shallow. 7/10 is realistic for PoE -

Prevent Dump Stats
Luj1 replied to sim-h's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I don't see what's so exciting about wasting points in dump stats once and then never doing so again once you realize they're dump stats. Dump stats are simply bad design. Certain character have dump stats. Its normal. Its impossible to have every stat matter for everybody. PoE is a good example why this cant work -

I think dump stats should exist to make character building exciting -
Prevent Dump Stats

I'd say JSE took it too far actually. He put balance before fun and still didn't make it perfectly balanced Yes I prefer attributes with more impact too. +3% per point ? I am more of a +10% person -
Prevent Dump Stats

I think there should be dump stats but w/e I like Might being important for Mages and Int being important for Barbarians but maybe they should have stopped there. Sawyer tried to mess with it too much (make every stat important for everybody which just isn't possible), so eventually he killed all the fun of char building due to focusing on convenience and balance at all costs Ironically, he still couldn't escape dump stats haha -
Or all three.....

Yeah I know. He doesn't like Sodenbergh's Solaris either. He said both directors focused on "erotica in space" instead of actually showing the living planet of Solaris. Both versions of Solaris and Stalker are only loosely based on the books anyway. What is interesting for me, is the three people who have died as a consequence of filming Stalker in a toxic environment (director included)

Pallegina is Rihanna...
Luj1 replied to Wbino's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Really? Source. Neverwinter Nights had several character portraits which were very obviously based on photos of famous actors. They've subsequently been patched out of the game though. Also there was a controversy with the Red Cross who demanded its symbol be removed from the Healing kits in game. from the NwN1 wiki... There was also a Vin Diesel in BG im sure you know of Likewise im positive this could very well be Rihanna
