Can you please, please tell me how to remove an eye for my character?? XD Or if you made a mod for it?? I really need it for an elf!

Hope it worked out m8! It should have anyhow. If you deleted mod folder etc...

I kept her, and want to raise her as a brutish warrior! Hope the game will allow that, or , at the very least, Vela will be in the second game 100%. :D

Thanks. ^^ I didn't notice lol....

I've been thinking some weather or not I'm addicted, and the back of my head always says,"No, you're not," lol. Which is party right, but party also false.... The thing with me is, when I get really into a video games, it takes me 100%. I neglect everything else until I finish it or until I get bored with it - sometimes the boredom kicks in fast, and other times, It drags on for a very, very long time.... It started before I even got to school I think. I played the first tomb raider game, along with some pokemon ones (first games I recall playing anyhow), and I even asked my mom to make me a braid everyday just so I can look like the character I'm playing (Lara), but also, I climbed on top of things like I'd do with her, walked and ran weirdly (like she did in the first game lol, and no, i didn't do it all the time XD) but it was all just play pretend, and my parents found it funny lol....also, I kinda may have finger banged ppl pretending I have 2 guns. XDDD Video games haven't really ruined my life like with many other examples, and if you asked me if I regret playing anything....well, no. I honestly don't. Because I was having a good time with em'. Though, it did get to a point where I didn't even want to go out much (and I'm still at that point at times lol), because I'd rather play vid games. And when I did /do go out, my mind often wanders into the fantasy or sci-fi setting, and the fictional characters I made. xD Also, when my rents' were divorcing, It was kinda like..I only got really upset once I noticed he's taking the PC with him. xDDD I really dislike the Sims series now, but when I was around 12, I loved the second game and played it so much I neglected my school work, and even skipped school or played sick at times. xDD Kinda sounds like i'm a psychopath lol. Not caring bout' that the divorce. But I think, it was just cuz' I was in my own world. Since forever. In early school, the teachers even wrote that down in my ..idk what you call it, that piece of paper you get by the end of the school year, that has your grades on as well as (in 1-3d grade) what kind of a personality you have? Ya. It always said 'Tanja is in her own world...' lol. Again though, since I do have my moments when I'm not addicted, I wouldn't say I am addicted. Just at times lol. Plus, I don't regret my decisions, which is great! ----) Anyhow, what about you? Has the thought that you may be an 'addict' ever crossed your mind...?

Agreed on all accounts. If there's one thing I hate it's filler battles against trash mobs, which unfortunately is a staple of RPGs. It's just a tedious waste of time. Once you've beaten a particular composition of enemies, I wish the game just had an auto-resolve option (button) available. Having to fight that exact same group of trash mobs 25 more times is so meaningless. It's just a way for the developer to be able to claim "60 hours of content", even if 80% of said content is tedious meaningless filler. /glares menacingly in the direction of Nashkel Mines This may be an unpopular option but, I wish all games had this mod where you just get to play the story and story related combat.....side quests too (if they're good) but yeah, let's skip the combat! (After first playthrough, just so we have more characters to pass on for the next game and such! WITHOUT grinding...) ....at least, as far as some games go. I really loved Skyrim's Combat Realism mod though. ) But, Skyrim's 'main story'.... xD I'm gonna be random right now, and tell you about how I first only played Skyrim without mods, and only did (more or less) the main quest (My first playthrough)........yeah, that 'ending' just blew. Not blew me away, but blew....later, a friend told me I should mod and do side quests, guild-related stuff and all that instead. And the game was suddenly glorious. xD Especially, with the alternative start mod or what's it called. The one that makes you chose where you want to start and who you want to be pretty much. You don't need to be the dragonborn at all...which was great! For some...ood reason.

Thanks for recommendation, these are some great games. I have played all 3 of recent Shadowrun games, they are good. Especially Dragonfall, can really find Story and Glory in it. Vampire Bloodlines is one of my favorite games, great combination of rpg, action, stealth. It is sad that we dont have more horror, vampire games. Teen suckers was a popular throphe some time ago. Havent tried Arcanum, it seems to before the point when enought graphic is enought, but may be worth a shot. And there modern Deus Ex, i never asked for this but it is something else than another fantasy. I like Grand Strategy games (Galactic Civilization, Cities Skylines and such) this games are good example that you can have no story, but the history writes itself. Need to give a shot to stellaris at some point. If you like making your own history, Crusader Kings 2 is one of my favourite games! With certain mods, you also get to create your own king/queen/duke etc and play them, and even have children that then take over after you die. :D

The typo here made me laugh, although if you do find a way to make games breed that would be great: we could start a selective breeding programme to produce the best games possible. It doesn't need to be a program, just mash Obsidian and Trojka together and BAM! *sigh* I really miss Trojka....but am really glad Obsidian didn't share their fate. Still, the three geniuses should get hired by Obsidian. Well, they've hired two of them at least... They did? Which two tho? But damn, really can't wait for Deadfire now.....I mean, couldn't wait anyways, but now that I know Trojka is in Obsidian (Or Dvojka now, lol)....and with so much money and stuff, I know they're gonna deliver something amazing! I loved PoE, but I have a feeling Deadfire is gonna be my favourite game of all times. ^^ ... Didn't know a due from Trojka is in Obsidian now! Thanks for sharing! Tim Cain was already part of Obsidian since, if I recall correctly, 2012, so he's already worked on South Park: Stick of Truth, Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny if I'm not mistaken - but Leonard Boyarsky came on board recently and both of them are working on a new as of yet 'secret' RPG at Obsidian, which means they are not on the Deadfire team. But I'm expecting some pretty big news about this post-Deadfire release, maybe this year. Here's a few threads speculating on this project: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/94281-obsidian-teasing-about-a-new-project-on-twitter/ https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/95951-the-outer-worlds-trademarks-obsidians-aaa-rpg/ And here's the Take Two Private Division announcement which touches briefly on this project at roughly 1:35 (they'll be publishing it): Awesome...thanks for the info! )

Aw s***, think I used the wrong forum to post this in lol....If anyone could move it to Pillars (General Discussion??) That's be great! Sorry. xD

Let's pretend for a while that we aren't grown-a** adults, and play a 'who would you be in a fantasy world' like game. Make the stats reflect you, add or remove as many as you'd like! 10 always means you're 'average' however. And 20 is the highest score! Choice of stats; Might: How strong you are, physically. Constitution: How endured you when something hits you + how long you last (I mean...stamina....yeah...) Dexterity: Balance, Reflex and quickness. Perception: How well you notice things, how quick you catch someone in a lie etc. The good stuff! Intelligence: Logical IQ pretty much. While perception is more of an emotional IQ. Reasoning, logical thing etc. Resolve: Bravery, emotional intensity etc. Besides the stats, also chose which race fits you most, which background/job (it doesn't have to be in the game) you have or had (you can twist it into a more fantasy setting like work though, if your job doesn't fit in. If you want!!) and also, chose your Deadfire bonuses; Diplomacy, Intimidate, Religion (lore) History (lore) etc. As well as your personality which fits into PoE word; Clever, Honest, Deceptive, Stoic etc. Here's mine; NAME: Tanja RACE: Wood Elf CLASS: Chipher STATS: MIGHT: 8 CONSTITUTION: 6 DEXTERITY: 10 PERCEPTION: 20 INTELLIGENCE: 12 RESOLVE: 15 BACKGROUND: Artist/Writer BONUSES: +3 insight (Check list here: https://pillarsofeternity2.wiki.fextralife.com/Skills)and add which one/s apply to you most! (Also, kinda makes more sense for a Chipher if I may comment, LOL.) PERSONALITY/DISPOSITION: (5 is the highest you can go...0 means...well...0!) Clever: 5 (As in...witty and funny and irrelevant xDDD) Passionate: 4 Honest: 3 Benevolent: 2 Aggressive: 1 Deceptive: 1 Diplomatic: 1 Stoic: 0-1 (Very rare for me) Cruel: 0-1 Rational: 0-1 (Lol) .....What about you? xDDD

I say the word 'true' lightly....but to me personality, it means a lot of things. To narrow it down, let's say the biggest 'rpg' that i don't consider it being a real rpg is the Witcher series...why? Mostly because you can't even make your own character. You can't CHOSE who you play. The Witcher is just kinda pre made for ya...I'm not saying the Witcher series is bad as far as video games go (far from it), i'm just saying that it's lacking in freedom that RPGs need imo. Like I started above. An RPG should be about freedom. Freedom to explore, to create your own character, to play however you want, solve quests in different ways and all that great stuff.... Pillars of Eternty for example, the characters I make there, I love the best. Because they're truly mine. With the personality system and the stats that I can modify for RP only (combat aside, I play on story mod now lol), with such an immersive, personal story...it was great. And what i'd call a 'true' RPG. Despite some minor flaws... So yeah, I guess a real rpg means to me it has to allow you to play who you want, and how you want. ) Personal story is just a huge plus though. Not needed, but I couldn't get into games lil WoW because I heard there are many great stories in, but none are about your character. The Witcher is literally role playing - you're playing a very well defined role and choosing a number of things within it. Now you may not like that role, like so many people don't like the Nameless One from Torment, but it is a role nevertheless. There's no implicit superiority of being able to choose from a bunch of stats, and predefined facial features. God knows, you could make just about anything in Oblivion but the game was utter junk. There was little real freedom in either The Witcher or Torment (or Final Fantasy games for that matter), yet they stand head and shoulders above many 'freeform' RPG games. There's no hard and fast rules about RPG's, the end product just either works - or doesn't. I really dislike when games make a character for me....I'd rather make a deep character myself and play her/him. PoE for example, made it possible to have several very unique characters due to personality system, character creation and deep dialogue options. I didn't like Oblivion either. I don't like Bethesda games too much, as you could have noticed.... Thing is, there's lacking in immerser dialogue. A lot. Even when the PC isn't voiced, they fail horribly IMO. Again though; When I said , 'true' RPG (in ''), I meant only my opinion on what's a true RPG. You can like Witcher or whatever, and you can consider it to be true as well. It just isn't my piece of cake as far as so-called RPGs go.

And cute guys. Don't forget the cute guys. Preferably ones with accents and glasses. Er...what was the topic again... Some years ago I probably would have had a moderate list of specific things I liked/must haves in RPG's (and other genres). But like all my other hobbies where I eventually became so saturated with the styles, tropes, environments, patterns, trends etc. I don't really view things that way anymore. That said, I do tend to prefer party games when I can get them (at least three) over lone heroes, real-time combat, a lot of non-combat "busy work", a large exploration factor and individual character/s that I can personally relate/get into. Or that I at least find amusing. Lack of characters I care about are why Betheda's RPG's generally don't keep my interest for long, for example. But mostly - endorphins. it's all about the endorphins and I find what makes those show up to the party increasingly tends to be unpredictable and surprises me more often than not, these days. Also Skyrim is great...not the base game (boring asf), but with the mods their fans took time to make.

I agree with you 100% on Bethesda games...'their' best game in fact, were the ones they didn't even make lol. Fallout 2 and New Vegas which was Obsidians work.xD I never really, truly consider them to be that 'bad' or that 'greedy' or that much of ****, before Fallout 4 came out though (and then its paid mods'.),,,I can not express in words just how disappointed I was...after all that hype....oh wait, yes i can; They don't allow you to play who you want (you can only have one background, and its linked to your gender...the F?), the voiced PC (player character) ; - horrible choice, they decided for me how my character feels....what??! But then again, even a dev at Bethesda said it was just meant to be a shooter with some rpg elements....well.....in that case, they won but still. God Awful. Fallout is truly in ruins now...for me at least.

I kinda may have kidnapped her with my warrior-like, Galawain following druid raider lol....also, will kidnap her in my artist re-play because...I saw she's in the second game. xD Well, it could have been a mislead, but I saw her portrait in Deadfire wiki. I really, really hope you can actually chose how you raised her, or am I missing something...? xDDD OR at the very least, I really, really want her being in the second game to be true. :D

Best upcoming let's play series on the internet = "I was gonna play Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, but then I got high!" This is why I don't smoke weed anymore....because it made me procreate even GAMING. XDDD Nah, I stooped because....it made me anxious asf. xD But still!

Not needed, but I couldn't get into games lil WoW because I heard there are many great stories in, but none are about your character.

Do you like more when you have companions, or when you make the party yourself? I personality prefer to have a party set up for me, since the ones you make yourself you can't interact with...

1. Fun; I think the reason we don't enjoy these games are because they're not 'true' RPGs'? I mean, I haven't heard of all you listed, but the Nier one for example, you can't create your own character, and as far as I know, there aren't even dialogue options?

If you're looking for a cyberpunk CRPG (Kinda gloomy Sci-fi) I highly recommend Shadowrun Hong Kong. As for vampires, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is from Trojka, and one of the best RPGs out there...you may also want to try their CRPG (Since the vampire one isn't isometric etc) called Arcanum Steamworks of Magic...aka, possibly my favourite game of all time (It's steampunk though.) You also chose your companions in Arcanum, your portrait, your own special background, race etc etc.... Now, this isn't an rpg at all, but if you're looking for something spacy, I recommend a strategy game called Stellaris. Think you'd love at least one of the following. )

I don't smoke weed anymore, but every game is kinda a lot better when drunk lol. Well..not just games but...you get the idea. xD

Here are mine, in no particular order; 1. Freedom: Of exploration, or choices, of different ways to solve a same quest, of playing the character you want to play as...The thing that bothered me in Poe (Pillars of Eternity) was the stats. Or rather, the fact that a Wizard and a Barbarian both use Intelligence and Might. What if i wanted to create a dumb, blood thirsty barbarian and a squishy wizard...? I couldn't. Not really. 2. Non-goofy graphics: I really HATE cartoony graphics. Old I can deal with, but goofy? No way! This is one of the things that turned me away from Divinity Original sin...that and the feel of the world, which we'll get to in an instant. 3. Serious (Depressing, yet hopeful) world setting/felling with a pinch of ironic humor: I think Arcanum nailed what I wanted a game to feel like. With music, sexism, racism (elves dwarfs etc, that kind of racism), general gloominess, yet, ironic humour; Example, there was a funny memorial that said; "Here lies an Atheist. All dressed up and with no where to go." Despite me being an atheist myself, and a woman (sexist world lol) I really, really loved this setting. But what was best about it, was that you could always raise up in the world and make the people who once called you names respect you (or you kill them lol. :D) 4. Good music (Hopeful, yet depressing): Well....yeah. xD It's my preference. Again; Arcanum, and Poe wasn't too far from it either. 5. Lots of lore, and books that you're free to read: Poe's lore got me the most. But in Skyrim, I could read books in a more extended way, which was also awesome (Too bad Skyrim's lore didn't get me as much a Poe's though.) 6. Character creation is a MUST. 7. Background choices are a HUGE plus in my book. But there have to be many to pick from... 8. I HATE voiced player character. Honestly, it takes away immersion (how you think the character sounds, or how his reaction sounds etc..) 9. Skympy or/and no personality in portraits. Besides being pretty or hot lol. I love playing pretty characters (well, it depends who i'm playing). HOWEVER, I want them to have some actual character. There's a huge difference between my profile picture (The druid elf) who is both pretty and shows character, and some half naked chick who has a plastic face and just looks hot. A lot of you may mistake this comment for jealousy (or so i noticed), but It's actually just what I think any serious RPer would want (me included)....or would you disagree? ----- And that's all for now, I guess....best hey, that's just my view on things, what do you think? )) Update: 10. Companions and companion relationships: ^^ 11. I prefer Poe's personality system over the alignment one. :D 12. Please don't chose who my character is and how he/she feels for me....: *cough* Fallout 4 *cough* 13. I like romance....but it has to be my choice, nothing forced down my troth. Also, it's only fair there are lesbian and gay options in as well. Since well...RPG? Freedom?? BUT ALSO, I like it as a side thing that adds sparks to the story...if the whole tale was just revolved around some...romance....first of all, what kind of a gaming industry would do such an abomination, and second of all...why?? Thankfully, I've only seen fully romanced based rpgs in text based games (aka choice script).

Galawain's choice was best for my "The strong take from the weak" mentality-like druid raider, while Hylia's choice was best for my Artist. As for my cruel Skean priestess, allying with Woedica worked best. My personal favourite though? Can't chose between Galawain and Hylia as dumb as that may sound....They both fit me, or at the very least, they used to at one point....Being both an artist and a (what Durance calls Magren) is both a curse and a blessing lol. Update: I'd say Hylia's choice fits me best now. But Galawain would be my best bet a few years back. lol. Still...........I think I prefer Galawain's choice. xDDD But ya, I did all of those 3.

I actually went as far as to remove the White March DLC's just so I could have the old screen back LOL.... Instead of doing that though, it just removed a bunch of my saves....so I re-installed, naturally. I also searched nexus for an alternative main menu mod. Don't know why I care so much, but..well, I think I do know why. The cover kinda isn't as 'pretty' and as immersive as it used to be...
