There were hard limits on the number of camping supplies you could carry. Are you saying that has been removed for food? I was specifically thinking about food items, heh. I don't know if the camping supply limit has been removed or not., and I think someone said camping supplies still exist. @judas varnas: Injuries weren't removed, they're basically the same as in PoE1. As for per rest, they were exchanged for per-encounter, but you have fewer spell charges per encounter. The one thing that is per rest though are the empowers as they only get replenished after rest.

PoE1 never had any sort of carry limit, doubt PoE2:Deadfire will. The largest possible stack might be 99, but 99 would last you a long while.

Extra onions? If the onions are raw, +5 to intimidation and a fearsome breath attack. That's garlic, not onions, and bonus if target is a fampyr. Though they don't suffer from the same weaknesses that vampires have.

Ouch, timezones, at least twitch has video on demand.

Dang video isn't captioned..... What the bleeping hell happened with YouTube near consistently having the subtitle thing at least available even if it tended to mangle it.

Not seeing the film reference. And that icon is probably just a coin with the likeness of somebody (though simplified due to the resolution), perhaps one of the Monarchs that live and rule from Neketaka. Though given that Neketaka is likely barely a city state, I don't see any coinage that they mint getting used outside of the city. Vailian and Rauatai coinage would be more common.

Makes sense that they'd go for similar minimum system requirements as PoE1 as they'd want as many of their PoE1 players to be able to play Deadfire. The requirements for running at max graphics with all bells and whistles may be a little higher though., but the optimizations should balance that out.

Yeah, they've been going overboard with fireworks during that festival, on top of the usual problems.

Why are you posting that in politics? There's nothing political about it, unless perhaps you're Republican, or even Libertarian. Dont know what the Libertarian position is on Global Warming and Climate Change.

They mentioned it for shields already, yeah, but they hadn't shown it for weapons yet.

Transparency organization? Ha! They lost that when Assanage started acting on his hate boner for Clinton and apparently collaborated with the Russians. It shows that Wikileaks corresponded with at least one campaign official (yes, Don Jr. was part of the campaign staff then), even if it was mostly one sided. What Don Jr. didn't say matters as much as what he did say.

May just be a loading problem on the old iPad as some of them loaded this time around.

@thedogdays: Don't know why, but all of yours (aside from the 'for public use' image) are broken for me on mobile.

I didn't know it was a rabbit in the first image, thought it was some sort of wierd alien moth or something with semitransparent bits.

Then make campaign donations by foreigners illegal if you feel that it's a problem. Lol. Though quoting can be a hassle sometimes.

What thing that happened in the Canadian election are you talking about? I don't pay attention to Canadian politics, so, I really don't know what volourn is referring to. Also, the 'father disciplining a child' bit would work better if it was the French or British (depending on who you think is the 'father' of the nation), Canada and the US would be siblings. I've only heard of the 'Canada is part of the US' thing as a joke than anything serious.

By same way, you mean with statements like 'I like/don't like this person' and not trying to hide where it's coming from? That's not the same as doing it with malevolent intent and hiding the source of the messaging. And yes, I know we've done meddling in other countries elections (South America mainly), which is why it was hypocritical when we reacted as we did given that we got a taste of our own medicine. Though yeah, it's very unlikely that Russian meddling actually was the main reason Clinton lost, the Russians were taking advantage of a host of things that already existed for some time.

The meddling turned out to be closer to psychological warfare than cyber-warfare anyhow. The irrefutable evidence is that they were trying to, whether they actually had any effect isn't likely to be resolved.

His point is more that some people (politicians mainly) weren't taking it as seriously as they should have. Warnings that our election system is vulnerable to cyber-espionage have been going around for some time, except Russia took a different (and probably more predictable) route. There's no evidence that votes were directly tampered with, which is great, but what's evident is that they had some help from a campaign staff full of people who didn't have actual campaign experience and did shady stuff, the fact that Clinton was a terrible candidate, and a whole lot of other factors. Whether Russia actually tipped the scales or not with their meddling attempts, we'll never really know.

Why? I get the sentiment for Comey, who bungled thing up, but Mueller?

There was George W. Bush, I don't think he trusted Russia over his Intel agencies, but he did have that oh-so-famous "I looked into his eyes, saw his soul, and saw that he is a good guy." moment. I'm paraphrasing it somewhat, but it's the same underestimation of Putin that happened with Bush 43 and Obama, and Trump is far more naive than the previous two combined. Heck, I don't think he realizes that all the flattery and praise is just the other countries playing him to their advantage. @volourn: Yeah, the two past administrations aren't innocent either in underestimating Russia. Not to mention falling into the "It's impossible to happen/it'll never happen" trap. Until said unimpregnable/unsinkable/unbreakable thing is shown to not be.

Beta before Christmas or, perhaps, the extra content for Pillars of Eternity seem most likely. There's already the Deadfire pack for PoE coming this Wednesday, so my money is on the Beta. Deadfire pack for PoE, what's that?

Hasn't the Qatar crisis stabilized by now? I mean, I don't think it's been resolved, but Qatar kind of worked their way around it and it's just a stalemate ATM. Still, they seem to be trying to manufacture a crisis out of Lebanon where there isn't one (aside from kidnapping their PM like Lebannon is a vassal) and Kuwait followed suit with the warning for their citizens. Then again, SA and Iran are the equvalents of US and Soviet Russia in terms of throwing their weight around since their allies tend to follow SAs/Irans lead unquestionably.

The best that I can tell is that there is something going on. Right around the same time the Saudi Crown Prince did that little purge of his, the Lebanese PM (who has a dual Saudi-Lebanese passport, and citizenship too I think) was forced to go to SA and resign like Lebanon is a freaking vassal of SA, then SA allegedly declared war on Lebanon, and now SA is telling all of its citizens to leave Lebanon due to 'deteriorating situation' http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41932838 Kuwait seems to have followed suit. It definetly has something to do with the Iran supported Hezbollah there since SA has been fighting a regional battle against Iran. But, attacking Lebanon might drag Syria in because even if Jordan reluctantly agrees to let SA through, they'd have to go through Syria to get to Lebanon. Editwhiletyping: You know, they called that missile attempt an act of war but stopped short of outright declaring war on Iran and said that they would do something at a time and place of their choosing. Maybe attacking Lebanon (whose only crime is having an Iranian backed group in it) is their retaliation? I really hope it doesn't erupt into a regional and direct conflagration between SA and Iran, but it seems to be slowly spiraling in that direction. Such a conflagration could possibly rearrange borders..... And Trump would likely be cheering them on the whole way, making things even worse.

Worse yet, I don't think God married Mary and if he did then she is guilty of bigamy. Gods have been impregnating youths, married and unmarried, since Zeus "The Golden Shower" the Thunderer. So, the myth isn't doing anything new or unique.
