Scholar of the first Sin - Dx11 version. I've played through Dark Souls 2 on the PS3 and now I am fiddleing a bit with the new PC version. So far it is not that bad. Graphic improvements compared to the PS3 version are huge. Though, I am not sure how much of that is simply due to the higher resolution that the PC brings to the table. The new enemy placements are interesting, so far. Some things make a lot more sense to me than how it was in the main game- also I think they made at least one of the first areas a little bit easier- The forest of the fallen giants with the zombies. It was pretty hard for me when I played it first, as you get attacked by a whole group of zombies at once. Now you can easily take them out one by one. Also the Heide Knight placement is very different. They also don't drop items anymore when they die... it's a very low random chance now, as far as I can tell. To counter that, there are a truckton of them now and they respawn like all the other critters.

And then you wonder about all the anti-gay laws in russia.

I just checked out Gawker. That website really looks totally empty. It's like for the first time in ages that you don't need Adblock on a website.

I want a new Arcanum game so hard. I'd pay another 250$ and maybe even more. /edit: Actually I wouldn't mind a.... DUM DUM.... Arcanum of Eternity or Pillars of Arcanum or somesuch. They got their own world and setting, now they can do whatever they want. Add a few hundred years to the setting, get steam machines rolling and done. It can be a lot like Arcanum without actually being an Arcanum licence title. Just like Tides of Numenera looks like Torment, but isn't a Planescape game.

Why?

Keep in mind that PoE will probably still make money in 10 years, which then probably all goes to Obsidian and not to some random publisher. That's the cool thing this time.

I'll doubt they could bring this one to consoles. Wasteland 2 I can understand- turn based combat and stuff, that might work. But just imagine having to deal with the realtime moshpits in PoE with a gamepad... must be the one deepest hole in hell.

Why do I find this hard to believe?

I want a PoE pirates add on with Caribbean sets and battles on ships and stuff. :>

Heh, reminds me of how little magick spells I can use, because somehow most of what I have damages half of my team all the time. (Doesn't really help that combat usually turns into a moshpit after 2 seconds)

I remember when back in the days everyone was hating on New Reno, because it felt so out of place. Me personally, I stopped caring about it by now and I blame Fallout 3 for that... it was showing me how much worse it still can get.

Today was my last day with ****ty pay. From tomorrow on I will earn at least twice the amount. Especially this month will be great, because it means pay from last month + pay from my overwork hours and remaining vacation days + the new pay. $$$$$$$$$

He is a priest. For me it is close enough. :D

Found a sick helmet for my druid:

I love all the outrage. "Wut? Dis in gaem? Now I will not buy it anymore!" Pretty sure none of them would have bought it in the first place anyway.

Bleh, I really, really hate to say this, but... I also wish Prometheus never happened. The movie had so much potential that was just wasted with silly crap. Such disappointment. I have no hopes for Prometheus 2 and if the new Alien movie had to be "adjusted" to fit Prometheus then it gives me a really bad feeling...

Yeah. They usually teleport right next to my ranged folks, who can't really stand a chance against them. Though, at least it forced me to become a little more creative in combat. Had to fight like 5 and more of them at once, which resulted in me using all availble skills I got for my magic dudes. Also I learned to like the chanter with his skeleton spell who die like flies, but distract the enemy for a few seconds.

Indeed, but style uber alles. PS: Also found out that the icon is used for two helmets. The Frog Helmet (which is the correct one) and another full face helmet, which is the one I posted above. So that's where the confusion came from. /Edit: lel.

Ok, swapped armor with Kana now too and it indeed happens. So... yeah... better don't swap armors like this, just in case. /Edit: A bit deeper down on that reddit thread:

I am a little disappointed with the amount of armor visuals, though. Feels to me like there are only 5 different sets. Also, and this is the most biggest disappointment i had in a long time... First I was like "oh god yeah!11" and then suddenly "nooooooo". /edit: Wuut. Just checked it again. It must have been a bug, because now it is correct and exactly how it should have been. Such madness. Game is now 11/10.

Nope, tested it. Double clicked various items and my stats do not change. Even made a new character just for testing and it stays all the same. At least my ranger character noticed no change at all. PS: I found out the game puts your savegames in "sub folders" in the menu. So if you start a new game with a new character, the savegames won't mix up with your other saves. cool.

Am I the only one who is getting a kind of Arcanum vibe from Pillars of Eternity? It almost feels like a pre-Arcanum to me, the world turning into a more steampunk-esque setting within the next 100 or so years. Or maybe it's just the music. Damn, I want to replay Arcanum.

Wait... "if you really loved this game"... The game is out since a few hours and we can already say stuff like "If you really loved this game"? Same for the negative reviews. How the hell is that possible so short after the release? Sometimes I don't know what's wrong with people.

Created my ranger character with wolf companion. But I am thinking about restarting and getting a deer companion. Not sure yet. Wolf is kinda a cliche.
