My first thought at this comment - wow, Fargo is a vampire! Guess I've played Bloodlines too much.

Expansions
Lysen replied to Badmojo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I also think it's a bit early to announce an expansion when the main game isn't even released. Maybe they will add to it the goals from the kickstarter campaign that won't be achieved, as Ausir suggested. -
They said it will be made in the spirit of the Infinity Engine expansion packs. Tales of the Sword Coast was awesome. So was Heart of Winter + Trials of the Luremaster. 'Nuff said. I didn't really played Heart of Winter, maybe it was good, I don't know. As for Tales of the Sword Coast, it didn't had much content except for the mega-dungeon (Durlag's Tower). I am curious what they are going to add in the expansion. It won't be another mega-dungeon because we already have one. Maybe some new classes and races, new areas to explore and a new companion. I would definitely buy it, but after the main game is released and only if it will be good. We don't know yet.

I also have mixed feelings about this update because I've already backed Wasteland 2. As for the expansion pack, it's great to know that they are going to make one, but I am not ready to buy it in advance.

Character creation
Lysen replied to Althernai's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
They didn't say much about the attributes, come to think about it. If I remember correctly, we know that attributes are in and other characters supposedly will react to them in dialogue (for example, you can make a stupid character like in Fallout 2). I don't really care how they will be determined, just no Elder Scrolls silliness please. -
Voted for the 'other' option... Also: you CAN kill Imoen.

The Big Three Million
Lysen replied to Monte Carlo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
PayPal donations figures aren't that big, you can find them on Obsidian twitter. They probably won't make a difference. -
In New Vegas crafting was just a cosmetic feature. As it has been noted, it was also obsolete because you could just buy or found equipment you need. In Arcanum, it was an important part of gameplay, if you are playing as a technologist. You are right though, in PE it will be more like in New Vegas, a cosmetic feature, because of the setting the devs have chosen.

Well, you cannot create weapons and armor in New Vegas (as far as I remember). In Arcanum, you are able to craft almost everything.

What about an annoying talking parrot, who always follows you around, criticises your every action, tells you that you suck at everything, and at the same time provides some valuable advice from time to time?

There is one thing that I really hate about some RPGs (most of them, actually) - it's the filler combat. When developers don't know what to throw at player and they feed him more and more enemies. The examples are Deep Roads in Dragon Age: Origins and... well, Baator in Planescape: Torment. Let's be honest, PST had a lot of filler combat. I hope that we will avoid it in Project: Eternity and it will have fewer well-designed combat encounters that will be hard but also interesting. Considering all the talk on the forums about combat mechanics, it seems that the game will have a lot of combat. If it isn't skippable by use of stealth or persuasion, then please don't make it boring.

Dragon Age: Origins
Lysen replied to stkaye's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Camera in DA:O wasn't perfect, but it was definitely better than in NWN2. -
Dragon Age: Origins
Lysen replied to stkaye's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Exactly. That's why I never finished it. DA2 looked promising, but the game was completely ruined by bad writing, boring combat and terrible level-design. -
I am not interested in having a pet, it sounds a bit silly. Animal companion or a creature that can be summoned would be better. Well, if pet is included anyway and you cannot disable this feature, then I'd rather have a dog. Don't know why people hate them so much. Dogs are cool. Does it mean that we will get a screenshot? Would be awesome.

The Role of Rogues?
Lysen replied to TrashMan's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I think rogues should be focused not on combat, but on their other abilities: pickpocketing, picking locks, finding traps and so on. Just like in Baldur's Gate and PST. In combat, rogues could backstab enemies or fire arrows from the distance rather than be on the front lines. It seems that the devs took the opposite route though, they want every class to be combat-effective. It makes sense in games like IWD where pure thief class was almost useless and you had either to dual-class or multi-class.
