Old news. Also thread exists related to this - http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61275-squadron-42/

Related to the US Debate last night

As I play I have to snicker at the visuals of shooting through walls or cars, LOS doesn't match up with the actual map it seems. For the abduction missions, are the aliens placed on the map at the start or do you trigger their spawning ?

Best way to view happy people though, over a camera. They freak me out in person. Trying to think up a good learning project to do with C++ today.

I'm hoping it's just a statue.

That stream was a bit meh, too spammy with all the jackals in the chat and them picking stupid stuff to respond to. Although Sawyer did answer some good questions when he wasn't drowned out by all the yelling tipsy people.

Sawyer seems rather unhappy at the entire experience. Or he has a good poker face.

Even on a camera, I still can't watch or be around drinking folk.

Hm, does remind me why I don't like being around people that drink.

Well good to see Merin's back on the cross again. Poor soul. Well, I suppose there COULD be prostitutes in the game, no ?

The same thing I did while it was on ?

Could have done with out that, but that's CDP for you, everything else you have to actively go for. Although in that game, I guess it does make sense to have a 'romance' with Triss, part of the books if I recall. Don't think the majority of Obsidian games have romance as a central theme, considering a set of NWN2, KOTOR2, AP, DS3 and FO:NV.

And this, naturally, has always been from the meanies on the other side, right ? Heh. The rate that those threads kept popping up probably contributed to that, perhaps.

Eh ? Well this topic's been treaded over with you lot wanting romances to - I dunno, make you feel more immersed or adding depth to your character because some NPC really likes you and says sappy things - and people have made arguments against it more than your, heh, characterization of them as stomping their feet. Mainly a time/resource investment vs. the return on it (so for example, would rather them work on making a city's tale more engrossing as opposed to giving the player's ego some fluffing up). Meh, at this point though I guess they have money to spare so that fluff shouldn't hurt. They should have put it as a stretch goal and milk you lot, but too late, heh.

Aw, why did they delete his post ? Was pretty funny. I've become of the mind there should be romances, but none involving the player.

LARPing gear ?

Well, they owe me the rewards for my pledge. Oh well, figured something like this would come.

It's really that bad ? I thought that group was just some goofy, harmless fanboys.

Hm, shame they've not locked that up before the funding, but oh well, I hope the XP is given per objective - and they can always have sub-objectives that reward different approaches (well ok same thing as objectives, I guess).

Don't use blink. That would be a whole different kind of game. Not sure how some sneaking would work in that case. Odd mission to get rid of the Lord Regent, heh, magically they believe some audio and I got a low Chaos, despite butchering 5 guards and a dog.

You people are strange. Although I suppose the forum has been without drama as a whole.

Well, hopefully the forum quiets down.

Probably against my better judgment I chose the $250 one.

And you have faith these people will be actually decent playtesters ? I always thought they should have launched two projects, PE and the QA for PE.

Well, I'm hesitant to think PE will be a big success in the eyes of publishers - wouldn't have needed donations to get it going. Does at least show there's some interest in under-served genres though, I guess that just means more kickstarters.
