"The romantic NPC should be picky, it's obvious he/she has high standards. In Planescape: Torment, we made it pretty clear that Annah and Fall-From-Grace didn't express interest in just anyone, and the player was the only one out of thousands that ever piqued their interest." http://forums.obsidian.net/blog/1/entry-79-blog-o-romance/

Volo, No. I’ve already demonstrated raw numbers depicting what happens when both Curry and Lebron are on and off the court for their respective teams. Curry has a greater positive impact than does Lebron. No knock, as these two have greater impact on their team’s performance by a wide margin than any other players in the league. This includes Harden, Durant, Westbrook, Gasol, Z-Bo. As far as the talent disparity, look at all the preseason predictions by both Vegas and the Experts. Golden State received very little love, and the Cavs were the odds on favorite to win the title. Read my original post on this thread. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/68989-pro-hoops-2k14-2k15/?p=1523385 Here’s ESPN: http://espn.go.com/nba/notebook/_/page/nba1415/2014-15-nba-champion-predictions Of the 28 “pundits,” 14 chose Cleveland. 1 chose Golden State (and he happens to be a local Bay Area writer). Dubs over/under for the season was 50 ½ games. Golden State was 30-1 to win the chip. Cleveland’s over/under was 59. They were 3-2 favorites to be champs. Curry and the Warriors are absolutely crushing these predictions while Cleveland is severely under-performing against expectation. How can Lebron be MVP when: A) He's having a down year B) His team this season is not even going to come close to the over/under.

I'll comment after work and the Cavs v Dubs tonight.

What are some lessons you have learned from this Kickstarter and what would you would change for future Kickstarter campaigns, should you go this route again?

My reaction to the twist was like a YouTube Ned Stark reaction video.

I can read Feargus. What a rockstar. He only needs to go by one name.

Jeeze. Get with the tymes. If you wasn't a physical copy, they'll mail you a floppy disc if you send them a pre-stamped self-addressed envelopes requesting a patch.

Not likely. Digital versions are tied to Steam or GOG and retail versions will be tied to Steam. Those with physical DRM free backer versions will most likely have to download the patches manually --old school nostalgia style.

42 is always the correct number.

Yep, it really is him: http://www.gamewatcher.com/interviews/pillars-of-eternity-interview/12162 Cool. I'll backtrack and say that it was a pretty decent interview. "...but we know there are already backer beta players on our forums making mods. They’re making UI mods, graphical mods, they clearly hate the things I’ve designed… Which is great, you know, if they want to change balance or flip around the UI screen, why would we have any problem with that?" Bwahahaha!

It's possible but it'll be difficult. There's even going to be an achievement for soloing on Path of the Damned with Expert Mode on Ironman. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/69665-path-of-the-damned-discussion/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1548589 http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/70134-triple-crown-solo-achivement-for-pod-expert-mode-ironman-solo/?hl=solo

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/curryst01/on-off/2015/ Warriors are +16.8 pts per 100 possessions with Curry on the court Warriors are -0.6 pts per 100 possessions with Curry off the court. Net total of +17.4 pts. 115.9 Offensive Efficiency 99.1 Defensive Efficiency http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01/on-off/2015/ Cavs are +9.9 pts per 100 possessions with Lebron on the court. Cavs are -6.2 pts per 100 possessions with Lebron off the court. Net total of +16.1 pts. 115.2 Offensive Efficiency 105.2 Defensive Efficiency Actually, it's closer than I thought. Warriors are average without Curry. Cavs are terrible without Lebron. Dubs are the better team overall and Curry the better player this year.

Nah. Steph got this.

http://www.gamewatcher.com/news/2015-24-02-obsidian-pillars-of-eternity-will-grow-with-traditional-expansion-wants-improvements-rolled-into-a-free-patch I do find it strange that the quotes aren't attributed to a specific developer. I don't doubt the veracity of the statements...but still, that's pretty shoddy journalism. I figure it'd have been Sawyer though.

Hahaha! This reminds me of Top Gear's "Sensible" review of the Ford Fiesta (Series 12 Episode 6). Classic.

Derrick Rose to undergo surgery to repair torn meniscus discovered today after MRI. This sucks.

Are Paladins considered Knights? Is this a title reserved exclusively for nobles of martial disposition? Or are these titles also granted to those who have attained achievement in their respective professions e.g., Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and Thomas More?

The TotSC or HoW style expansion would be my preference.

I don't think Adam was referring to you. I think it was more of a general rhetorical regarding whether if their discussion was too esoteric or technical for the layperson outside of the game development community.

Contact Obsidian Support directly through the backer portal and open a ticket. They may be able to help you out if it's not too late to change your order.

Not a big deal but actually, his original concept was a fighter. It was converted to rogue mid-project and then reverted back to fighter again.

Yeah, ok so what? A guy can't have different opinions and like modern sandbox RPGs or appreciate achievements in multiple game genres without being dismissed as a console shill or representative of the dumbing down of modern games? Angry Joe's favorite game of all time is the original X-Com, which in case you forget, is a hardcore turn based, isometric squad combat game with deep strategical elements and high difficulty. Watch this review of the new X-Com if you still doubt his PC master race sensibilities.

His evisceration of Total War: Rome 2 was brilliantly epic. As a Total War fan, and having been let down by Creative Assembly for the state of its release, this video was quite cathartic. The Creative Assembly engaged in some really good dialogue with Joe and their fans in reaction to this video in their official forums, and to their credit --CA really did improve the game with their free Emperor Edition overhaul.

Looks interesting enough.
