RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Haha, didn't they have to overhaul the graphics with a huge patch as the game looked like ass when it was released? Resident Evil 4 on its native console was ahead of its time; the PC port was one of Ubisoft's many shamefully shoddy creations from that period. The re-re-release is hopefully going to avoid that. Or the SaGa series from Square Enix.

Novels in the PE universe
I'd like to see it if the game is successful and the lore interests me.

On PE difficulty mechanics, objective xp and combat, stealth, sweet-talking
I forgot that. You're right. Although, my last playthrough was mostly peaceful and when i couldn't do that, I had my 8 companions deal with mobs. Arcanum is unbalanced, there's no way anyone could argue with that. Still, I like the game a lot.

On PE difficulty mechanics, objective xp and combat, stealth, sweet-talking
Here's what I think. Objective XP isn't something I haven't seen in other role playing games and it never bothered me before. I will most likely play the game more than once ( I know this might not be the case for the majority of players). Fighting only to get exp has never been important for me. It's all about reaching the goal. If a monster grants a huge amount of exp in a game that awards exp for killing stuff, I'll grind fights with that monster. I wouldn't fight it because I love fighting the same monster over and over again, I'd just want the exp. Sweet talking your way through or sneaking through a lot of the game is a good option for those that do not like combat. If you only liked to battle in the IE games because each monster kill gave exp, then I guess you would be disappointed and I can understand that. One example of a game that lets you sneak or talk your way through the entire game was Fallout: New Vegas. I had a lot of fun with that run. It doesn't mean I won't ever enjoy the game with a combat focused character, something I have done (ofcourse). About games that only reward objective exp; two of my all time favorite games do this. Bloodlines does this and so does Arcanum. I didn't feel like the games suffered for that reason.

Is that MMO still going? What's the population like? It's a very small group of people still playing.

It's slippery and very cold outside. Fell today and thought I wouldn't be able to get up. I hate Winter.

What are you playing now?
I think that's part of the entertainment! But I'm becoming an unwilling serial killer!

What are you reading?
That explains why I was confused. In English, Blood of Elves is the 2nd witcher book. Yeah, it was localized after the second book.

Odd questions
Why do I laugh when I hear a Scouser speak and why does my internet spelling program tell me I'm spelling Scouse the wrong way? I'll punch you in the gob, m8, I swear it on me mum!

Tried Surgeon Simulator 2013 and I have no idea what I'm doing.

What you did today
Can you share some minor details? Whatever happens, his/her/its story has a sad conclusion. I don't want to reveal to much. It'll be fun to see what people think. Even if it's a very minor NPC. It'll be interesting to get feedback from the devs (haven't got any yet).

What you did today
Finalized my pillars of Eternity NPC. No turning back now. It'll be fun to find said NPC in the world, however small the role if said NPC is.

Movies you've seen recently
Monsters University A great movie to watch with kids. I also enjoyed it.
-
What are you reading?
Well, The Sword of Destiny is done. I really liked it. I still haven't finished The Witcher 2 because I didn't like the combat. This book has still managed to make me excited for The Witcher 3. I hope some of the things from the book would make it into the third game, but I doubt it. Thinking of ordering The Mistborn books. I'll have to read them in English since they aren't translated to Swedish as far as I know.

Playing other Kickstarter funded games makes me nervous
Labadal replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm happy with all Kickstarter games I have played. I have only completed Expeditions: Conquistador once, but there seemed to be replay value. Shadowrun Returns is linear but could be fun on another run. Everything else that was kickstarted and backed by me was never described as non-linear.

Movies you've seen recently
Now You See Me It was a fun movie to watch but there were some really silly scenes. Pain & Gain Really funny movie and The Rock was a positive surprise.

What you having for dinner tonight?
Fishburgers with lots of vegetables and roasted potatoes.

On the confirmed attributes for PE
Might could be called Soul. My fear is that Might might(pun not intended) become a stat that many players will prefer. It offers both healing and damage bonus. That seems like a stat that I'd put lots of points in if I was making a tank/healer hybrid. It doesn't mean every player is going to create that type of character, but the benefits could make players more inclined to go with such a build.
