Yeah, but... most of the little combat encounters you run into aren't challenging. They're things you clear out on your way to the real fights.

Some doors wont open after the patch
sparklecat replied to oldhasu's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Just came here to post about this; the door shown in the video and two on the main floor of Raedric's Keep seem to no longer be interactable. -
Limerick edit thread

The part where you imply that the limerick was written with the sole intent and purpose to repress the homosexuals and transgendered people, when it is clearly entirely up to personal and subjective reason. Also - to quote the typical television or motion picture. [No Transgendered people were harmed during filming], which is entirely on point since the only one to get hurt here is the poor bloke who ended up in bed with something he didn't expect or wish and fell to his death. "Fell" to his death. Instead of killing himself because he was ashamed that he slept with someone who was 1) presenting themself as a woman and, 2) was, in fact, a male. If there's anyone who is painting the poem in a certain light in order to serve his agenda, it's the flagrant bigots flooding this thread. I like the "something," too. Okay, guys, gals, and people who prefer some other group identifier, not that this hasn't been fun but I think I'm gonna go play my shiny patched game now. -

Basically because it's still not the government imposing those consequences on you, which is the only protection Americans are guaranteed; if your landlord doesn't want to rent to you, or your employer doesn't want someone expressing your views representing their company, that's legally their decision. Personally I do find it something of a grey area, but that's gist of the reasoning. -

Not at all. The only person allowed to decide a persons opinion's is themselves. Anyone else's opinion what it ought to be does not enter into it. A transperson can have the opinion that they are a woman. What anyone else thinks is not required to have that opinion. But if another person has the opinion that they are a man then that is also ok. What anyone else thinks is not required to have that opinion. Both those individuals are free to have whatever opinion they want. Neither one is somehow infringing on the rights of the other by having that opinion. You can identify yourself however you want to but no one is obligated to agree with you. You're not obligated to refer to a person by their preferred gender, no. You're just kind of a jerk if you don't. -

You can say whatever you like. You just can't do so without people disagreeing and calling it offensive if that's their opinion; that sort of robust disagreement seems like a positive thing to me. -

and what motives are those? My motives are a hatred of censorship, I grew up in a county where they told us we had free speech, well across the course of my life I've watched it disappear and vanish before my very eyes. you have to be careful what you say at almost any moment because there are dire consequences to saying things that offend people. shall we all show our mouths shut? All of us will intentionally or not offend some one with our words it happens but we must be allowed to speak those words or freedom is dead this man PAID to say those words and obsidian took the away more than a refund is in order! Are you being arrested for expressing offensive opinions (that are not inciting violence)? No? Congratulations, your free speech rights are fine. I am sorry but if you believe that censorship can only be done through the government you are really naive. Especially in this day and age.... I was addressing the "my free speech rights in our glorious nation are being eroded!" argument. People not giving you a platform to publish your views, or saying those views are offensive, does not infringe upon anyone's right to free speech. -
Patch notes for 1.03

Slow, high-hitting weapons are good for, for example, opening a fight by wiping out a dangerous opponent, or getting through high DR. -

So the person who said Tr,... is not angry and frustrated? also Why I always have the feeling you are Brianna Wu?.... I have no idea who that is, but given that you're the one making the comparison, I think I'll view it as a likely compliment. I'm sure they are angry and frustrated. The difference is in the amount of power that the respective people's negative opinions have to contribute to genuine harm for their target group members' lives. -

Are you telling me that was a joke, and as such, not meant to be taken seriously...? You know what that sounds exactly like? A joke? No. -

I think some people may be confusing an expression of frustration and anger with, y'know, actual serious genocidal wishes, hmm? -

Steam vs GoG redemption ?

Both, now that a second key's appeared in my backer portal! -
Patch 1.03 is Live on Steam
sparklecat replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
We will be addressing this in a Backer Update later today (hopefully, later today). Well, non-sarcastic thanks from me, at least. -
Patch 1.03 is Live on Steam
sparklecat replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
The site just about crashed from us all simply trying to generate our keys at the same time; I doubt they're currently set up to handle patch distribution too. I guess, but technically I should not be worrying about steam or GoG, since I paid a little extra to get a DRM free CD. I don't really mind waiting all that much, other than I paid $70, much more than I usually pay for games, because this game was awesome...and so far I have no boxed copy, and no patch, where as people that paid half what I did through steam are able to play a patched game. Well, it's a downside of choosing GOG, having to wait for a time to get patches; Steam was another option available to you and others. Still is, potentially, if you got a second digital key recently in your backer portal like I did. -
1.03 Game Crashes within minutes
sparklecat replied to themattler's question in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
Try rolling back your drivers? I don't remember the version number, but someone else with an NVIDIA card and the latest drivers was having problems until doing so.
