Pickpocketing will not occur in regular gameplay; but either through dialogue or scripted interactions against a dexterity check.

Absolutely, it is important. Having a pleasing and easily readable UI is of paramount importance. Many of us will spend hundred of hours playing, and having to squint hard to read the must mundane items will decrease enjoyment of the game.

On the optimistic side as George Miller is still running the show.

Not nearly enough pics and no French. What gives, Shady?

Any mechanic that doesn't actively encourage/reward players to become homicidal maniacs are aces in my book.

Sargy takes super long sabbaticals from these boards. Every couple of years or so he pops up and necroposts some old threads or create new ones and waxes poetic of the days long lost from ye old BIS days and calls every one who joins up after him noobs.

The Fallout bits was interesting too. Nice little shout out and backhanded compliments to certain boardies as well.

15 years ago since Bishop.

http://m.pcgamer.com/2014/07/25/the-pc-gamer-show-episode-2-pillars-of-eternity-fallout-new-vegas-divinity-original-sin/ Haven't seen this posted yet, but PC GAMER interview with Sawyer. Talks about New Vegas and Eternity, and Josh's feedback with this board's regulars. Other stuff w/o Josh where they try to rank and define RPGs and a play through of Divinity.

I actually agree with this. I feel that the closer we get to launch, the spirit of the kickstarter is being lost. I has questions when E3 came around, but let it slide. Now that several media outlets are getting to play around with the actual game, I am getting miffed. No one should have played this game before backers. Actually, no media outlets have actually played the game yet. Everything has been carefully curated and the demos are actually controlled by Obsidian. Why? Because as Josh stated, the game state is still buggy and unpolished. They only wanted to show sections and features that were actually working and looking relatively pretty. Would you rather they just sit on their hands with the PR and NOT show anything at all? Relax, backers will get their chance to broadcast to the world and rant first hand on about how buggy and ugly the beta looks on Aug 18, while some of us roll our eyes.

Drat. 30 hours later and looks like no part two yet.

Wasn't it referencing that in the next scripted interaction, the PC will be throwing his axe at the antagonist who obstructs the rogue party member? Thus, he won't be able to use the axe afterwards.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/billion-dollar-billy-beane/ Billy Beane: Art, you got a minute? Art Howe: Yeah. Take a seat. Billy Beane: You can't start Peña at first tonight. You'll have to start Hatteberg. Art Howe: Yeah, I don't want to go fifteen rounds, Billy. The lineup card is mine, and that's all. Billy Beane: That lineup card is definitely yours. I'm just saying you can't start Peña at first. Billy Beane: Well, I am starting him at first. Billy Beane: I don't think so. He plays for Detroit now. Art Howe: You *traded* Peña? Billy Beane: Yeah. And Menechino, Hiljus, Tam are all being sent down. Art Howe: You are outside your mind. Billy Beane: Yeah. Cuckoo. Jeremy Giambi: [knocking on door] You wanted to see me? Billy Beane: Yeah, Jeremy, grab a seat. [Jeremy sits down] Billy Beane: Jeremy, you've been traded to the Phillies. This is Ed Wade's number. He's a good guy, he's the GM. He's expecting your call. Buddy will help you with the plane flight. You're a good ballplayer, Jeremy, and we wish you the best. [Jeremy sighs, and exits] Billy Beane: Jeremy's gone, too. Art Howe: [shaking his head in disbelief] You're killing this team. "The John Friggin Mabry" trade was legendary.

Can't say that I've ever considered a spitting llama animal companion before.

Zing. That would be rad.

Very nice.

Re: Love. All these rumors about Cleveland willing to part with Ender Wiggin or Golden State with Klay Thompson are probably leaked Flip Saunders himself. There is absolutely no reason why either Cleveland or Golden State would reveal their hand unless a deal was already in place. Flip has very little leverage here.

The original Kickstarter pitch stated that you will be able to export your created PC in future installments so unless there is an in-game Project Eternity that deals specifically with eternal life for your character, I don't think advancing the timeline a few hundred years will mesh very well with their stated intentions. But, it would be pretty cool to see a steampunk version of the gameworld in a spinoff of some sorts.

One that deliberately mocks the entire concept of video game romances... and does it via dry wit.Interestingly enough, Obsidian has the perfect writer on their staff for such an undertaking. Chris Avellone. Actually, didn't Avellone already do that? Specifically Alpha Protocol's hatemance with Sie. You antagonize her all game and then in a reversal, she rapes you in a bondage situation when you are tied up.

This is rich. Not exactly DA related but Bio has a survey up asking for feedback on the next Mass Effect. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/69HFZTS

Lebron in Cleveland is a better team than Lebron in Miami.

Argentina is not as loaded as Barcelona. Messi was blitzed all tourney. He had no release valve. That said, he was still the most dynamic player in the tournament.

With the Germans missing Khedera, Argentina is controlling the midfield.
