What are you playing now?
Finally got the Air of Experience (500 B-Spec races) trophy in GT5. It's almost two years after I played the game for the first time O.o Now 75 more cars to buy, to get the Car Collector Trophy (1000 cars) I think that will be another 3 months with my current free time spent playing this game and hopefully I will get the Excellent Driver Trophy (A-Spec lvl 40) while racing for the cars as well...

Encouraging Euro-Asian Interest
Mamoulian War replied to septembervirgin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Have you ever thought, that maybe PC games in Japan are not listed in charts for the same reason, why there are not listed the number of sales on Steam on Western charts? What a blasphemous thought, that someone would not disclose the actual sale numbers for one reason or another... I do not know like others do, but I do actually consider more trustworthy the words of a guy who lives/lived in Japan... And I have played few online PC games with ****loads of Japanese gamers as well... One example for all is Darkfall, I would not hesitate to tell, there were more Japanese playing this game than Europeans... The only reason, why EUs and NAs never meet Japanese PC gamers, is the reason, that like 99 percent of their PC multiplayer games have their own servers, because they do not like the attitude of typycal western gamer yelling gay insults and teabagging everyone, so they do hell of a good job, to keep that kind of idiots away from their servers and with them all other westerners...

Mamoulian War replied to septembervirgin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)You should spent rest of your life in eternal agony. And I think that would be far far from the proper punishment for the mention of The-One-Which-Should-Not-Be-Named's true name on this boards

Encouraging Euro-Asian Interest
Mamoulian War replied to septembervirgin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'd say that's because most of the people from central Europe that would be interested in this project don't need a translation either. That is unfortunately not true. Lot of people over 30 who love RPGs games, unfortunately do not speak english good enough to enjoy text heavy games, but I know that translation to my language would be absolute waste of money, the spike of sales would not justify the effort. Sooner or later some fans make translations of the game to local language. That's what happened with BG1,2 and PS:T. Most of the fans purchased these games after fanmade translations few years later. EDIT: And as a fact, every single translation to my language absolutely ruined the immersion for the people who played the game before in English language... Even if they marketed it as a "professional" translation... One of the worst experience in gaming I have ever had, was to hear Grunt in Warcraft III speaking my local language... That does not much my experience at all - most of the "hard core" (god, that's a stupid term) gamers I know played the games in English and learn the language along the way. Of course personal anecdotes mean nothing. And yes, at least for me, terms and sentences that in English sound merely cliché sound horribly cheesy and unbearable in my language. In fact one of the worst experiences I had was playing IWD2 in Czech - being used to 3E English terms for spells and feats, the Czech translation confused me and the dialogues were even worse (no to mention that they could not keep one translation for the name "Neverwinter" in two different sentences). It's the opposite in Poland. Many people still don't want to play untranslated games and Polish translations of IE games were top notch and according to many players had better voice acting than originals. I am so jealous. I had the same sad experience like evdk with IWD2. W3 and IWD2 was the reasons, why I have swore to me, that I never ever purchase game in Czech or Slovak language. TBH If I would be little bit better in Polish, I would definately prefer to play Witcher in Polish than in English. Best language for a game, is the native language of its creator. Big big shame, I have no time to learn proper Japanese, because many English translations of japanese games suck donkey balls, or are extremely censored due to sexual or religious prejudice of the western publishers.....

Mamoulian War replied to septembervirgin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Out of curiosity, where exactly are you getting this information? Please don't say that when someone has their location visible it's more often than not European when the vast majority of people don't have their location visible. That is the well known fact to everybody, who is visiting this forums on regular basis, in last few years...

Pathfinder Newb
I am in a same group, like you with the difference, that our group is completely new to PnP. We played little bit with beginner box, and we are slowly learning new rules from the core rulebook, to spice up our games. And me as a GM, I am trying to learn some stuff from one IRC Pathfinder Society group in Australia. Awesome guys and very friendly towards PnP noob, like me. It helped me a lot to have our local games running faster The only problem is 9 hours time difference, so I am able to play with them only once or twice a month :/ I would like to ask If you already had some sessions, or if greylord find this post, that what kind of modules or adventure path would you recommend, to virgin roleplayers I read the Crypt of the Everflame module, but unfortunately, I do think it is little bit complex for newbies Another choice I have available at the moment is the Master of the Fallen Fortress and Council of Thieves Adventure Path... And of course few other free to download modules from Paizo. (If you have a very good recommendations, I will not hesitate to purchase that as well)... Any recommendations would be awesome, thank you all and to mkreku: Nothing beats the experience to see adult guy to roleplay Barbarian with INT 8, who does not have a clue what is a difference between dog and an elephant trying to solve a mysterious murder and interrogate the suspect :D One of the funniest experience in gaming I had last few years

Different Starting Locations for Different Races
Mamoulian War replied to Mamoulian War's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)What about if they put these two things together: small prologue in a place specific for your race, and then some narrative intro, which will tell the story for your character, how he happened to get into the center of the story?

The Kickstarter Thread
/respect Man I wish I was some top manager to back PE with $10000, but for now, it must be enough $160 right after I get my September paycheck :/ Got few unexpected spendings this month, so PE will have to wait few more days :/

Maybe if Valve would be doing open world FPRPGs, your statement would be valid.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS!
As spider said, branding all EA **** with bioware name is good idea, because Bio is still very strong brand and to be honest, name Bio Austin brings less bad will that would bring EA Austin amongst gamers. So this is just logical... If they sold 2mil + of each game it is Income of 120mil for a single game... ME2, ME3, DAO, DA2 and SWTOR = 600 mil income, but you have to add costs for development, distribution, server maintenance, and not all of these 2mil copies were sold at 60 bucks... and of course the bonuses for all the high management members... Soooo in the end I really can not see more than 200 mils back in pure profit and I am highly optimistic with this wild guess (and I tried to account all the DLCs and projects 10bucks ripoff to add to this number)... In 5 years... So they will be ****ing happy if they get even with the buyout in less than another 10 maybe 15 years... If this is not a prime example of terrible investment by a publicly traded company, which is trying to maximize short-term profits, I do not know what else is... Edit: And if the development cost of SWTOR was really 150mil+ as rumours say, then the number made in 5 years would me more allong the line of 100millions... How the hell it is still possible that CEO did not step down yet...

Different Starting Locations for Different Races
Mamoulian War replied to Mamoulian War's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think, this would cut into budget even more than different starting locations...

Which game hook brought you to Project Eternity and interests you the most?
This is very subjective... I for example always play in TES cats or lizards. Playing elves and humans is stuff of past millennium...
