I think you misunderstood my post. I have been following all the information and am aware (and am happy to see) that they are moving to a quest experience model where you are not penalized for taking a non-martial route. I am also aware that there may not be a traditional system. But there most likely will be a class system with a shared levelling table. Ever since the introduction of 3rd edition D&D cRPGs (I think Pool of Radiance remake was the first), the experience tables for levelling and XP rewards have become small. Most (all) games including The Witcher series have used a levelling table system where you need 1,000XP for level 2 and ~ 190K for level 20 ? (from memory, cbf opening my 3E Players Handbook). Sure it makes sense to use smaller numbers from a programming perspective as it takes up less bits of memory. But I miss the larger XP caps and rewards from the 2E era of games. What's wrong with that?

One thing I miss about the Infinity Engine games is the old AD&D Level Progression tables, you get a much more satisfying feeling earning 1000XP for a quest, instead of 100XP (a la 3rd edition, Star Wars, all other games using that d20 model). i really liked the fighter's progression table Level 2: 2,000 Level 3: 4,000 Level 4: 8,000 Level 5: 16,000 Level 6: 32,000 Level 7: 64,000 Level 8: 125,000 Level 9: 250,000 Level 10+: +250,000 XP But yeah larger numbers feels more rewarding (and more of a monolith to obtain). In conjunction quest/monster XP rewards should be high too, for instance, 2,000 XP for defeating a Flesh Golem encounter, instead of say 200. YMMV.

Companion loyalty system?
Sensuki replied to lordgizka's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Well basically there'll always be some kind of system for this It could be based on certain responses, such as IF <charname> picks optionA of conversation32 THEN trigger notHappyJanConvo1 timer 600 IF <charname> picks optionD of notHappyJanConvo1 THEN trigger notHappyJanConvo2 timer 900 IF <charname> picks optionG of notHappyJanConvo2 THEN trigger antagonistPlot partymember = 0 or be based on a numbers system where doing things NPCs dont like chips a few points off their i like you score etc -

How should the UI look?
Sensuki replied to Rostere's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
As long as it shows off the character portraits well, I don't mind. I didn't mind the IWD2 style, but the portraits were a lot smaller than BG/IWD1 -
Personally I don't really like the idea of item tiers in this type of game. This isn't a blizzard game. Magical or Mundane.

These are the prisoners from the disturbance at Waukeen's Promenade What is known? Naught but their names. The Mage is Jon Irenicus. The girl is Imoen. I did nothing. He did it all - I had ... Silence child allow the fool to make his judgement Why was this man not gagged, did he not slay four of you? We dared not approach. Uhm, regardless. In the end he came willingly What should be done with them sir? They are deviants. Let them rot in spellhold :D

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT MY CAPS LOCK SPEAKING WOULD HAVE GIVEN OFF A SARCASTIC NOTION obviously not. Yes I am aware that it will probably not be that long. However I still think that anything under 40 hours including time to read dialogue and travel is pretty depressing. One of the excuses that developers have been using to explain the cutting of the game length has been because of the switch from 2D to 3D, "it takes longer to realize content" etc. I think with a 2.2M+ budget and the same design philosophy as Baldur's Gate 2 (area designers fill their areas themselves), quite a large size game could be achieved.
