Backer Reward Shipment Poll
Leferd replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
Currently you can't buy game in physical form, but if Paradox decides to sell physical copies I would guess that they will be similar to those physical copies that backers get, which are drm free and have installer that is independent of any digital distribution service. But I can't say anything for sure. In the update, they stated the retail version would be tied to Steam. -
Interesting developments in some USA Media circles

Interesting developments in some USA Media circles
Leferd replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
One could argue that television news programs places more emphasis on entertainment than actual news. Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death is thirty years old but is still relevant in its indictment of media culture. http://www.amazon.com/Amusing-Ourselves-Death-Discourse-Business/dp/014303653X -

Interesting developments in some USA Media circles
Leferd replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
Aaron Sorkin had written/produced some of my favorite television shows and movies that are intelligent, high-minded, informative, and obviously well researched. Credits include: Sports Night, The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The American President, Charlie Wilson's War, Moneyball, and The Social Network. He's also written a few duds (relative for his standards) such as Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and yes, The Newsroom. Thing is, The Newsroom would be Jon Stewart's idealized version of what a cable news show should be. The show doesn't really work because of its preachy and condensing nature and well, sometimes Sorkin needs to get off his soapbox because he's not nearly as funny as Stewart while ripping contemporary news media. -

He essentially destroyed that show and it was soon cancelled, after being around since CNN's inception. Both Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson haven't been relevant in media circles since. -

BB addon to Steam Purchase?
Leferd replied to Bloody Hypocrite's question in Backer Beta Bugs and Support
Only "Backers" have the ability to purchase beta keys. Those who pre-ordered after the backer period cannot. That being said, YOU could actually purchase a key for your friend. -
Greek Freak!! He has that genuine naïveté, optimism, and potential that makes it impossible to not root for a guy like that.

Indeed. But to also throw around the "unprofessional" label is a bit rich, and I would like to see the poster's reasons for such. ...The Sacramento Kings are a joke franchise right now in NBA circles. They fired Mike Malone, a respected up and coming coach who has the buy-in of the players and were off to their best start in over a decade. His replacement is Ty Corbin. By universal consensus, he is a terrible head coach. He had a poor showing in his previous head coaching campaigns with Utah, and his team has completely regressed under his sinking ship. It's fair game to rip him. Long story short, he was placed in an impossible situation as he is both under-qualified and is tactically challenged to be succesful --and this does not account for the turmoil surrounding him. However, by all accounts, he has been professional throughout this whole ordeal even as he knows that he's about to be shown the door in a few days... --Debate all we want about Obsidian's design decisions, art, sound, bugs, etc., ...but unprofessional? Hardly. So please, do explain.

Companion depth
Leferd replied to dukeisaac's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I would hope that companion interactions would NOT be most similar to BG1. My expectation is PS:T level of depth.- 10 replies

So I guess it's still a wait and see, but at least it's not outright cancellation just yet.... This would be a great scenario.

Feargus speaks. http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/9/8005145/why-one-of-d-ds-biggest-video-game-devs-thinks-that-tabletop-game-has "The new version of D&D came out last year and people are thinking about what is ultimately going to happen with D&D," he said. "One of the reasons we actually went with Pathfinder was ... how do you say it? I'll just say it: We were having a hard time figuring out how to move forward with Dungeons and Dragons." "It's hard to move away from something you love and I love D&D. Pathfinder is an important part of the pen-and-paper role-playing world and I love working with them. They want it to succeed and it's theirs. With D&D it's a little more complicated because they have Hasbro and others involved." "So, I think that this is the difficulty: D&D is a part of Wizards of the Coast and WotC is a part of Hasbro," he said. ...shots fired? Equivalent of Obsidian dumping D&D and going steady with Paizo.

High praise from you. Isn't that the same score you gave your favorite RPG of all time? PS When is your NWN module coming out?

Why do you all hate Star Trek so much? Are you anti-progress? Because that's the only LOGICAL conclusion I can make.
