Where should the world of Eora Go From Here? - Please drop in and share your thoughts
Since Josh has updated his twitter with his location being a town in the Valian Republic, it seems plausible that's where we'll go next. For the long term, I hope they won't be afraid to move the PoE world to different timelines. I would love to see Eora move forward technologically and explore what impact that could have. Similiarily, I wouldn't mind going backwards in its history either. If they're willing to make some spin-offs and such, I imagine there's a greater chance for this.

The final events of White March Part 2 main quest
I sent Zahua to do this (after completing his quest) and he ended up dead as doornail. I liked that there appears to be different solutions and outcomes. However, I still got Zahua's ending (as if he survived) when I completed the game. So it bugged out.

Eric Fenstermaker Narrative Interview at RPG Codex
Generally speaking, I tend to lean more towards shorter RPGs nowadays. I like it more when all the effort is put in short, but highly reactive, games so to speak with little to no filler content. However, I do hope that Pillars as a series continues to give us the really big experience. I just finished my playthrough of PoE plus the two expansions and overall I think it was a great experience that felt like a true journey, despite there being some ups and downs. If there are spin-offs and such, then I would certainly welcome shorter games but for any full-on sequels, I hope they'll continue with the huge scope.

Chris Avellone says Pillars of Eternity was too linear and that he had little impact on the story
Agree with that. I think the voiceacting in the game is a bit lackluster except for a few noticeable exceptions (Edér/Aloth, Thaos and a few others). It's usually not *bad* to the point where it bothers me but it feels kinda slapped on I think.

I also like Sagani quite a bit. Edér is probably my favorite companion of the bunch but I liked Sagan's personality and the way she dealt with her problems a lot. I kinda read it like she has that snarky and funny side but the facade is kinda cracking a bit, the hunt for Persoq is taking its toll on her. Not sure if I read that into her or if it's really *there* so to speak but the end of her quest is quite touching in my opinion. All that build up for her, and then all of a sudden, the object of her search is right there in front of her. And then, how the hell do you deal with something like that? And of course, what happens afterwards? I dunno, I found it very well done.

The Witcher Extended Edition, Should I play it?
Given that it's enormously cheap on sales, I'd definitely give it a try. Even if the story or gameplay doesn't grab you, its atmosphere is something worth experiencing for sure. It's the best game in the series in my opinion.

How are people finding the 3.0 patch changes?
Has it been mentioned anywhere if 3.0 will come out of beta before White March II hits or will they come out at the same time? EDIT: Never mind, a new video showcasing the 3.0 features just went up on Obsidian's youtube page. Adam says there it'll be out at the same time as the expansion.

Agree with that. As it is, it just seems a waste to bring her at the moment if one looks at it from a story/companion perspective.

What are you playing right now?
Mainly playing Darkest Dungeon at the moment. Waiting for White March 2, although... of course it looks like I'll be moving just around the time it'll drop so it'll probably be a while before internet and all that is setup at my new place. Goddamnit. Also playing some of the Torment: Tides of Numenera beta. Though I'm trying to take it real slow, don't want to play it to death before the final version comes.

Novella comming? Any word on progress?
Maybe someone should reach out to Brandon or some other dev. Not the fans' job in the first place though of course...

3.00 patch teased by Josh on SA
Don't even say that man.

3.00 patch teased by Josh on SA
Do they use ice attacks? To be honest I can't remember. But yeah, if it's tied to which attack downs a party member, I'm obviously fine with it.

3.00 patch teased by Josh on SA
That sounds really awkward. I like the idea of injuries myself but please try to keep the injuries to things that make sense.

Pathfinder Adventures will release March 29th!
Starwars replied to Mikey Dowling's topic in Pathfinder Adventures: General Discussion (No Spoilers!)Good news, but waiting for the PC release date!

Monsters in Galvino's embasament is unbalenced!
Does sound like the stack defense bug. As an aside, I think this area is the worst in terms of how much bloody combat there is some areas.

What are you playing right now?
Kinda waiting for the White March part 2 right now. Still a month away, bleh. Replaying Shadowrun Hong Kong at the moment, greatly enjoying it. Might replay Dragonfall once I'm finished with this.

What about having a more distinctive combat track for the final battle?
No, I agree as well. Really wish there would've been a special piece of music for that fight. Everything else in the end-game has a special piece of music (Burial Isle is fantastic).

Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
CG Muppet Voldemort and his trusty servant Kylo Ren who throws temper tantrums, slicing up equipment with his lightsaber and can't even manage to overpower two people who've never touched a lightsaber before, even though he's fast enough to deflect laser blasts and can freeze people (and laser blasts for that matter) in mid-air. What a team!

3.00 patch teased by Josh on SA
I guess it's one the . But yeah, the question, again, is what those giants actually are and what their deal is then.

If that means God and heaven are as toothless, non-offensive, boring and *safe* as the Force Awakens, by all means, send me straight to hell.

Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
Saw The Force Awakens. Really disappointed in that it turned out to be a fanboy movie. I liked the humor in it, and the new characters were all-right (but felt pretty flat, Han Solo pretty much was the heart of the movie) but the rest of it was completely forgettable. I'll take the prequels over this any day of the week. With all their failings, you at least got the sense that they wanted to do... *something* with it. The Force Awakens is soulless, lacking an identity of its own. But it all looks like the old movies so it's got to be GREAT right! Wohoo! Urgh..

Favorite NPC moments
I only keep Grieving Mother around for her questline (which has a great concept I think and goes pretty dark). Aside from that, she's never in my party. Since she has no banter and most of her interjections tend to be "I SENSE something here" spiritual character stuff which I've grown tired of, it's a no no for me.

Favorite NPC moments
I really liked Sagani's moment when you finally find Persoq. I found that quite touching. Also liked Pallegina's little interaction with Hylea.

White March Part 2 delayed a bit, coming February 16
It'd be nice if we could get some mini-updates or something soon regarding new features, changes and so forth.
