Judging by that statement alone it could also be a game that starts with a new character and just imports world state like Dragon Age, but it probably won't be.

It didn't split it (so a solo character wouldn't get 6x as much experience) but you did get progressively more experience the smaller your party was.

It's a bit strange to refer to something that Black Isle and Obsidian always did more than BioWare as "BioWare disease".

Man you guys are overthinking this. This is just a more casual game

What does it mean to have "mandatory" friendly fire? Pillars of Eternity has lots of area of effect spells that don't apply friendly fire. It's not a simple toggle, you have to rebalance all spells and decide which ones are friendly fire and which ones aren't.

That's wiki-style hyperlinked lore definitions, like what PoE has in its encyclopedia. Tyranny has those in regular dialogue.

Josh's ideal of soft counters (or more accurately, use of resistances rather than total immunities) was commendable, but it ultimately didn't work well with the way numbers scaled up in this game. Accuracy was too easy to pump up, rendering most resistances moot. You need a much more controlled progression to use them effectively.

I think her name was already visible in the first gameplay footage we saw, the fortress assault.
