"Other" Playable Species Poll
Jiraboas replied to Gecimen's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I would prefer werewolfs and vampires. Other undead creatures are to "special" in my opion. And "demonic humans" like Annah from Planescape: Torment. I dont want to see "standard fantasy races" in every fantasy game. Vampires and werewolfs are fantasy too! Like lizardsmens, orks, goblins, and so on. Why only human, elves and dwarves to be playable? Its kind of boring to play only this races in every game. kind regards, Jira -
The Chosen One
Jiraboas replied to TrashMan's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
No, you misunderstand what i mean. I dont care if you are the most powerful character in the whole game history, but it have to be logical. In many games you be a peasant in a small village and one day you take a sword in your hand and you become better than everone in no time. This dont make any sense. In PS: T you are a immortal tousand years old guy, because your are actually tousand of years old. It is logical that you are the most powerful character in the world. But why every peasant like in Dungeon Siege or Dragons Dogma become the most powerful hero in no time only because a prophet said you are the choosen one? I hope you see my point... EDIT: In some games its will be interessting to be a normal person, but in general i want to be a special person, thats why i be the hero of the game, but it have to make sense to me. Thats all... EDIT2: Changed my vote according to this... kind regards, Jira -
The Chosen One

I think its much more fun to explane rationally why you are better than the other people. Look at TNO in PS:T. he isnt a hero, but he is tousand of years old and because of this everything like magic and so on, he learn easier than the other people. Sure it isnt realitic to play a tousand years old kick-in-the-ass-overlord, but it is more logical than this prophetic "you are the choosen one the prophets talked of!" crap. I cant stand this anymore! There have to be more stories out ther, than only to be the overpowered one-man-army how could save us all! Even in fallout2, mabye you ARE the choosen one, but this is only a primitive nonsense from this clan people(dont know the word in english). In the "civilisation" of vault city noone gives a **** about the choosen one crap... kind regards, Jira -

I hate this choosen one bull****. It is so overused! Every ****ing game used this schem, i hope so much they dont use it in project eternity... Better a nameless one than a choosen one :D kind regards, Jira -
Companion loyalty system?
Jiraboas replied to lordgizka's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Yes, but hidden. I hate such messages like "loyalty increase by 1" or something like this! kind regards, Jira -
Paypal + kickstarter
Jiraboas replied to wisien92's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
i dont understand why they not added kickstarter yet. Many people around the world want to back this great project but without a credit card we cant give Obsidian our donation. They said they add paypal in a "few days". Its allready a week and an day later! Hurry up Obsidian. Dont exclude your fans from europe kind regards, Jira -
Sorry to disapointing you, but it dont will be. I am fine with that, what Obsidian will be decide. I dont mind if they dont do everything i want.I dont want dwarves and elves, but they will be in, who cares? Elves and dwareves are chlichee but they are good. I dont want firearms in the game, but they will be in the game, but who cares? Maybe the firearms will be a good feature and i will miss it after a while playing PE and i will be glad they are in. I do want romances in the game, but if they not in the game, you guessed ist, who cares? It will be not a bad game, only because their will be no romances... If i do want a game wich is like i imagine, i do it myself.(Actually i do, but who cares?^^)I am skilled enough do it, and im proud of it, so i do it myself and i will be fine with this. I gave my money(actually i dont gave money yet, i waiting for the paypal account ) to make it posible for Obsidian to make THEIR game, because i trust thes guys and i love their games. I dont give my money to cry about if i dont get what i want. Dont be childish ^_^ kind regards, Jira

Stop it to talk all day about "Sims" like there was any romance in there. Sims is only a cheep simulator of human interaction, without any intelectual content. You dont "talk" to the sim-npc. You only watch them talk in a strange language and do childish things in the bedroom. There isnt any content of character developing, personal storys, personality, etc. You cant compare it with rpg dialogues, because "The Sims" doesnt have any "dialogues" except of this strange mumbeling nobody understand(like my english, i think :D) kind regards, Jira

Do you have some kind of "prove" about this statement? Because of my own experience i dont can say that this is true. I read often that publishers dont want that kind of npc interaction because they think its only waste of time and mony, like mostly of all the other rpg features the fans love... Maybe its not your kind of argue but some people "use" this "the publisher forced them to do" as a all-time-statment, to state out their point, and i dont think its a good idea to give all the bad choices to the publishers and say: "it was their faul!" It will be right many times, but not every time. Do you know what i mean? Yeah, since i discuss with you people about this, i also think that Obsidian isnt the kind of developer who could make this well, so they maybe shouldn't do it, because its not their "style" and all this. I do think romances are a important part of human being and so it has to be in video games too. Imagine a Max Payne Story without his beloved wife, or Mona Sax. It will be only a shooting game with a dark setting. But the human feelings of Max let me feel he is a real(but crazy) person, not just a "video game hero" kick-all-the-asses-bad-guy like duke nukem and such. Human feelings make us..uhm...human, so without this,video game characters never feel like real acting humans, only like unreal puppets, or robots. Thats my opinion. kind regards, Jira
