PE already inspiring others
Yeah, I think I'm going to pass on that. It doesn't strike me as a scam, like some Kickstarter and indiegogo campaigns have clearly been, but it seems close. Plus: Daikatana.

[merged] Do you think the Kickstarter could have been better
Speak for yourself, if I get a timeshare in Maui I'll easily give $15 more.

Drows in this game ?
What if they are like the Dark Elves in Warriors of the Eternal Sun? (you could whipe out an entire village of Drow with a sling)

What do you wish not to see in PE
pseudonymous replied to BasaltineBadger's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Oddly enough, firearms existed in the multiverse that PS:T, IWD, and BG occupied. Does that make PS:T, IWD, and BG no longer jive with fantasy?

Should the player char be able to become more powerful than the most powerful NPCs?
Why? Unless they've taken the game equivalent to steroids and hit the gym to lift things up and put them down, the player shouldn't get stronger at all. In most P&P role playing games you don't get stronger, your attack rolls just get easier to make.

What do you wish not to see in PE
pseudonymous replied to BasaltineBadger's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Am I the only person on this planet that likes the ambiguous ending of KOTOR2? On topic: No MMO style fetch 20 maguffins to accomplish x quests.

PE will use Infinity Engine but......
The Infinity Engine games run just fine on Windows 7, just do not install them into C:\Program Files (x86). Install them onto a separate partition, if possible, or anywhere you can give user level read/write permissions safely. Also: there are high resolution mods for all of these games. Bing and Google are useful here.

Should gold have weight?
pseudonymous replied to Intoxicated_Ant's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Of course gold should have weight, but only if there is a banking system to manage it.

Update #6: Choosing the Best Tool for the Job [Linux Confirmed]
You forgot the insanely bitter hatred of anything having to do with Microsoft, but sure.

Update #6: Choosing the Best Tool for the Job [Linux Confirmed]
The free license produces some real stinkers, the gaming equivalent of this: Also, there is a distinct hatred for anything having to do with C#, which Unity uses for scripting, in certain segments of the tech crowd, mostly "freedom" loving Linux users. Those people will never buy the game anyway, so it's best to just ignore them.

[Merged] Gods save us another romance thread

Ownership: Paying for things twice.
pseudonymous replied to AwesomeOcelot's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)What's unrealistic about having access to the game through both Steam and gog.com? Technically Obsidian is self publishing and could do this if they wanted. I may be wrong about this but I am fairly certain Valve and gog.com don't send out leg-breakers if you allow concurrent distribution through other channels.
- How realistic is your cup of tea?
-
What would make you pledge more?
Removing the special Kickstarter only in-game achievement and item.

Chris Avellone: We'll most likely not be using Onyx engine
Why not Torque 3D which will have source access for free? I can't type that with a straight face...

Sex and Romance Poll
Romances should be realistic. That 15 minute tryst with a harlot in a dark alley should lead to intelligence draining syphilis and eventual death. That schmoozing of the Noble's Daughter should lead to an armed escort back to her place where you are shackled with 18 years of responsibility, a forced marriage, and the victory of the antagonist in the game world because you couldn't keep your pants on. Barring that, don't do them at all.

Evil PC Options
Arcanum had a meter. The choices between good and evil shouldn't be black and white, though.
