    Indeed, they tell a story, but one that leaves a lot to our imaginantion - and this, I think, is really important for portraits. I personally didn't mind if my characters used different weapons than the ones that were on the display, but I can see why someone would. But what do you think about this piece? There's a sword visible, but it isn't pronounced; adds a bit of flavour to the character but isn't very restrictive. What do you think?

    And Kaelyn's voice actress fit the character well, don't you think?

    That's a pretty nice clip, thanks.

    Thanks for the update. As for the pieces themselves : I've written before that I, too, wasn't a big fan of the Prelude's choral parts - but I understand it's been composed to serve a certain purpose. I like the Dirge, I'm getting definite Icewind Dale vibes from that piece. The ending to the Road is quite nice as well. All in all, it's a nice teaser, Justin P.S. Bagpipes + battle themes : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIOjEAgrNrM

    And what if : * You have cast many of your spells and the ones that are off cooldown are not entirely appropriate for the encounters you are now facing. * It will take you three minutes of real time to wait for those spells to be available again. It could be pointed out that, of course, the cooldowns could be lowered considerably to avoid such situatations, but that'd make them absolutely trivial.

    I'll just repeat what I've written many times in this topic : The goal here is not realistic, it never was. What many people, who have supported this topic, have actually voiced was their preference for believable and practical. They (and me) simply find it more appealing. Not everyone has to, naturally. I can't agree with the notion that most cRPGs feature realistic designs, however. If anything, that's an extremely rare case - I can only think of Witcher games (out of recent titles).

    Hello there, strawman.
  8. Karranthain
    Well, honestly I find those Kormack works rather generic; there's little point in discussing taste however, so I'll just post another of Sweet's work

    And here's more :

    In a world were oversized, spiky pauldrons and greatswords the size of a house are a norm, even dull fighters make for a nice change And, as it has been pointed out by The Sharmat, it isn't exactly fair to compare any design from Planescape to PE. It'd be like comparing characters from the Wire and Twin Peaks

    Easy to make that mistake I like that mage portrait too, really evocative.
  12. Karranthain
    That is actually Jason Manley's work, he made the Icewind Dale I portraits. They do have a slightly similar style though
  13. Karranthain
    Improved reward tiers sound likely, yeah.

    Could be a set of wallpapers or the like, if they mentioned all the backers. I'm hoping to see new stretch goals myself
  15. Karranthain
    Indeed, just take a look at this one : Even if I don't like the Drow myself
  16. Karranthain
    I still think that 4 mil. is well within their reach, can't wait to see new stretch goals.
  17. Karranthain
    Last weekened was pretty slow, but hopefully the 2,2 mil. goal will be reached today.
  18. Karranthain
    Stretch goal?
  19. Karranthain
    I'd love to see far-reaching quests such as the Siamese Twins from Arcanum. Now that was a load of fun; particularly because it's never fully resolved...

    Celli are incredibly expressive, much like the human voice. I don't think it's too far fetched to hear something with them in PE... But who knows right? To quote myself "April 2013 is a long way away" Fingers crossed! That said, I'm sure you'll soon amaze us all, Justin! With or without celli Edit : No pressure, haha
  21. Karranthain
    Wow! That singer has quite an impressive range! I can see why you like this piece. It's gorgeous. Glad you enjoyed it. Personally, I'm hoping for some cello parts in the game's soundtrack, particularly some arco playing. One can dream right?
  22. Karranthain
    Justin, I really liked your "Dawn" piece. In fact I wouldn't mind it being one of the PE's prominent themes. Even if it probably doesn't suit fantasy much. I think you'll enjoy Especially the later parts.
  23. Karranthain
    Still better than the Drow
  24. Karranthain
    That was just an example, an abstraction, Jarmo.
  25. Karranthain
    Or have scimitars and dual-wield pet panthers. Now, THAT would be epic. What about panthers that dual wield scimitars?
