Well, you can't blame whoever it was for trying. And I doubt it came from high up, it was probably just some worthless turd at EA/Bethesda/whatever trying to reel in a very one sided business deal to impress his boss. But that is probably the worst business deal offer ever. Only a total idiot would accept a deal like that.

Composer for Eternity?
dlux replied to MechanicalLemon's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Justin's music in the pitch video is excellent. He should do the music for the game. And Mark Morgan is not the right choice for this game imo. He has more of a steampunk/post apocalyptic style... At least from what I have heard. -
How realistic is your cup of tea?
dlux replied to exodiark's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
That is what some of the "gamers" (I use this term very loosely) here want though. They want to explicitly see women get brutally ganged raped in full view so they can watch... This thread makes my stomach churn. The mods should step up and lock it! This is not what Obsidian wants anyway. -
Afaik you can't edit the tiers when someone already pledged to it. Would need some fan love to translate this thing. And some tipps for pledging without credit card. I did not mean that the tiers on the kickstarter should be edited. I meant that a simple link could be added to the kickstarter (pointing to the a thread on the forum here for example) where the tiers offered are translated into German. Anyway, it is just an idea. Lets see what Obsidian has planned though.

I can't speak for the other languages, but I can speak for German: If Obsidian adds German localization, then the news about this will pop up on all of the gaming sites in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There are a lot of gamers in these countries that love RPGs but can only speak basic English.There are about 120 million native German speakers in Europe... So that is something to think about. It would probably also be helpful to translate the contents of the tiers into German, a simple link would suffice. You would also need to add PayPal though, seeing that most Europeans (in Germany at least) do not have (or need) credit cards.

I really don't want to walk around in the game and explicitly see how children are brutally murdered or women are raped, etc. Seeing children screaming for help before they are BRUTALLY slain with blood splashing everywhere and a woman lying in the street crying while the pervert rapist is banging her... No, that is just too much. While something like this could be in the game, I only want it to be implied - if at all. Having something as explicit as this is sick and perverted. Why would someone like to see that in a game? I don't get it. Do you guys want PE to be the most ****ed up game ever created just so it caters to perverted sickos? My god, please NO. -
Weapon Balancing
dlux replied to Longknife's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
About junk weapons: I would expect an Ogre, for example, to use a very crude club in many circumstances. The reason being that he probably does not have access to superior weapons, or just prefers using it for some reason (lack of intelligence). He will of course still do a lot damage, because of his pure brute strength. -
Should gold have weight?
dlux replied to Intoxicated_Ant's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I am a packrat and I like to sell everything that I can find. If I have a few THOUSAND gold coins which are weighing me down AND there is also no possibility to deposit these coins in a bank, then I would find that extremely annoying and tedious. I am indifferent if weight for gold should be included in the game or not, but it might be an interesting mechanic if it is done right and does not become a tedious micromanagement chore. I like to imagine that the gold coins are pretty small and weigh like 3g a piece or something - so no huge pirate dubloons. So, if you have a few hundred coins then they would weigh like 1kg all together. That might work. The only problem is that you would probably need an inventory showing weight in 1/1000kg or in grams. E.g. a gold coin weighs 0,003kg and a sword weighs 4kg. Together they weigh 4,003kg = 4003g. -
Stretch Goal #2 Reached! Congrats!

An update from the FEARGUSAURUS. Awesome. -
Level scaling
dlux replied to buggeer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Yes, they tried to circumvent the level scaling by adding areas with higher leveled enemies. While it was of course not perfect (Bethesda was probably breathing down their neck so that they don't make the game too hard for the kiddies, lol ^^) it was a lot better than in Fallout 3, where you could kill a super mutant with a tooth pick at level 1. ^^- 168 replies

Important Stretch Goal: Production Beard
dlux replied to Pop's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
It's a neat idea, but I seriously doubt that this will raise pledges substantially. I would be more afraid that the team would be entitled as "dumbasses" for pulling such a pr stunt.- 38 replies

Level scaling
dlux replied to buggeer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The Baldur's Gate games are not level scaled. In certain areas a few more enemies might be added or replaced when you reach a higher level. Like a lich is added to a group of skeltons or something. That is not level scaling.- 168 replies

dlux replied to PsychoBlonde's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I chose "Yes! I LOVE needing to carry 15 different weapons on a single character!" even though you exagerating quite a bit. ^^ a +2 to 5 sword, cold/fire/acid sword and that is about it actually.- 141 replies
