Well, a failure ending would also be nice to see.

Can't really say I'm all to concerned by the method of making it, more appreciative of the world reacting to the stuff I've chosen, but I'd pick the step by step option

They have my sympathy for reading every post and noting on it.

Agree with minigames, never felt they added anything more than a skill check would be and I remember AP's hacking minigame, yeah. Also every party NPC having some sort of emotional or psychological issue (parental issues, guilt over dead family members, etc.).

Helping the lady in Overlook was funny, especially with Dave at the end.

Should get back to more MWO - repeated deathmatch is kind of boring after a while especially when all I ever get is Caustic Valley or whatever the hot map is called.

No one trusts Obsidian based on this forum and its polls and suggestions, heh. As for 'extremists', though, dramatic much ?

As long as they have nice beefy two handed warhammers, I'll be content with that in addition to the usual staples of swords and axes.

That escalated pretty quickly, we're on to racism now. Doesn't really matter all that much about the accuracy of a the term. I imagine everyone would be cool with armour dyes, no ? That's a good compromise solution.

Well this was the first facepalm of the day. But, you recognized your error, that's more than I've come to expect.

You people just don't quit with that do you.

I still find it depressing people are worrying about the game being too hard for them at this stage of the project - hopefully there are difficulty sliders so that people can adjust the challenge to what they're comfortable with. Now if you want some story mode where you can faceroll through content...well..maybe a LP video of just cutscenes might be your thing, I dunno.

I say make this a stretch goal.

Seems like that is playing dress up, though. Who's to say the gear will be vastly different looking, as well.

No wonder vanity is the devil's favourite sin. Sheesh.

No giant shoulderpads ? I am upset.

Because it'll eat up time for a wholly unnecessary feature.

Well I did say a compromise in my second line, there can be ways to buy more time (or for that matter, lose it). Does depend on how strict the timer is anyway, I'm assuming some worst case where the developer badly misjudges how long the majority will take and people end up in a blind rush to finish the game and ignoring content. But then again, Fallout did it well, rush to get the WC and then ta-da : new antagonist.

Well, I'm sort of hoping tarna sitll is, not was. But I'm not privy to updates.

The degree to which it should matter is pretty small though, people might react to your PC wearing military armour but I can't see them caring that much because your plate and mail set A is cooler looking than B.

You'd think people would be a bit more aware of what they're walking in to, at this point.

Well yeah, I'll concede the critical path of the plot shouldn't move along in real time, it steals from the game to be rushing along against a clock. Unless you can keep doing actions to stall your village being burned or your King dying to some curse or whatever the "We must go!" reason is.

Y'know....keep at it. I encourage you to elaborate on your thoughts in these kinds of threads.

Well, it's been done somewhat, but party members reacting strongly to your actions or statements up to the point where they'll betray, rob, leave or attempt to kill you is always nice. Makes your party seem more fleshed out and real. Also, a world where events have their own schedules rather than being on a discrete path set by player actions.
