I wonder how they are going to fix the floating capes issue.

This isn't really feedback related but here's one of those anonymous portraits that Bobby Null was talking about

And it's not engagement that makes them do that.

It's not about combat looking varied, it's about being able to easily recognize when units are and are not idle in combat, which currently you cannot as there is no difference between recovering and idle.

Nah that was Scott Everts. It was a shame that he wasn't on this project TBH. Hopefully for the next one.

Don't believe anything anyone says about the system. If I have time tonight I will make a video demonstrating how it actually works.

I agree about wanting to see some development footage but that makes perfect sense as an introduction to the documentary.

Forgot to mention that the disable AIController part in the second video still turned off the NPCs, and the command was recently replaced with a newer one that didn't remove the NPCs and disabled their AIController, which had no impact (and is not shown in the video).

Looking forward to watching the rest of it

You can't really change anything performance-related.

Performance in this game is very CPU-bound. At the moment if you don't have an i5-3570k or better, your FPS will probably not be that great in some instances. I have an i7 870 and it struggles in the larger areas due to lack of optimization. Not sure how it will go on release, I'm trying to help troubleshoot the FPS drops, a large part of it is something to do with units.

The point was more to point out that the windows don't match the level above it and it's basically just open floor - step out to your doom.

It's a bug.

Pillars of Eternity isn't fully 3D. I have an ASUS HD7970 DirectCUII, and my video card fan definitely speeds up and the video card heats up when the game is running but it's nowhere near as noticeable as some other titles - such as Starcraft 2, Expeditions: Conquistador or DotA 2.

Here are a couple of FPS tests Disabling the NPCs in the level gives a large FPS boost (with and without the fog of war, the extra FPS is about the same). It's not the AI code that is contributing the FPS drop as I used a separate command to disable the AIController of every NPC in the level and it did not increase FPS.

Elfya doesn't really do much damage, I would have aimed that shot at Sevis, the Barbarian or the Pistol guy.

There is actually a font glitch, I'll edit and post the link http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/70220-392-item-description-text-scrolling-bug/

Thanks for the reply Adam. Sorry about applying the heavy hand, we did not mean to imply that there was any agenda other than to optimize the game. The memory optimization has been really good. I haven't seen my game go over 1.9GB used so far in v435.

It's called DR now They removed DR and renamed DT to DR. DR alone forces you to use inflated damage numbers, instead of the 5-8 damage from a Longsword example that Josh Sawyer used a long time ago (which wasn't an explicit example).

Karkarov provided the UI - you'll have to ask him.

High deflection is useful against mook enemies, but against enemies like Korgrak, Elder Bears, Elder Lions etc - it's not that great. Anything with a high accuracy and high-per hit damage, Deflection doesn't really do much for you - you're still gonna get hit and hit hard, but not really be able to hit back.

Yeah I think the game favors extreme specialization in many cases. Skills and Talents/Abilities, among other things.

In hindsight this is a terrible post on the internet and it makes me look like a ****, and I have a feeling that it may have caused some offense - sorry Sean! I was actually thinking of the STRONGHOLD walls, not Raedric's Hold walls - that look like you can't actually walk on them. There is actually a door going to one of the sections of the walls in the screenshot in the OP. There are actually only two places I think could have been done better. One of them is the windows that don't match the ones above it, and the section above the gate - other than that it is a wonderful environment. This is the bit I was referring to Herp derp me
