So this make some people happy, but Josh did confirm in the stream yesterday that Durance is mentioned in Deadfire. Apparently it is fairly early on too. Whether he is actually "in" the game is unclear though.

I really don't agree with this statement. People on this forum have a hard on for comparing Divinity Original Sin to Eternity, but I never saw any decent reviewer compare them in anything more than the most basic way. Statements like, "And Divinity Original Sin is another entry in this new resurgence of isometric tactical RPG's, like Baldur's Gate, and the newer crowdfunded titles Pillars of Eternity and Torment Tides of Numenera." That's about as far as any good writer took it. Real reviewers, review games based on that game. Not on what that game did or did not do, that some other game did or did not do differently. Obsidian put in full VO because they had the budget for it, they knew a large amount of their player base would like it, and they felt it would be a strong enough selling point to justify the cost. Don't kid yourself thinking there was any other reasons.

Oh I agree, Mass Effect 1 is actually one of my favorite games of all time. I would give it like a 9.5. It was a weak ending to an otherwise great series.

Can it pull out the graphics files used for the UI then repackage them into the game allowing for UI modding? If not, don't care. It will be a cool tool for others though.

I think Mass Effect 3 was great! Ok that's a lie, I think it was better than people said, but it is the worst real Mass Effect game. On a 10 scale I would give it like a 7. I refuse to count Andromeda as a Mass Effect game by the way .

Lol take a break, you have done far more than enough already. You deserve fun times too.

The email says they expect it to be a few weeks delay, so I would guesstimate 2-3 weeks from release day.

Quoted for truth, and then some. Josh just said on today's stream if you actually play all the side content you can in Deadfire, it is notably longer than Eternity 1. So it is probably already equal to Eternity and at least White March Part 1 with just the base game. The only news that left me a bit irked was the crit path is apparently slightly shorter than Eternity 1 crit path.

I will see what I can throw together, may not have time until the weekend though.

Amazeballs How about HMS Amazeballs?

Not a chance. That said there is a beta section of these forums with tons of discussion of the gameplay, builds, etc. Also there are dozens of hours of video covering the gameply on youtube.

Concur. I strongly doubt there will be a preload. This isn't an mmo, or even an online game at all. Since there is no "competition" involved, there is no real benefit to preloading. Just enjoy a good nights sleep and download it in the morning. Thinking about it, I also wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't release until noon or something similar on the day of.

I am not sure where you are seeing me compare it to Deadfire, I am not. I am merely stating that VO is pretty much a universally desired feature in RPG's if not in modern games in general. Also, those who say VO is bad, or partial VO is better, are an extreme niche group that does not represent the majority people who buy video games, RPG's or otherwise. If there is a comparison between the games I listed and Deadfire, it stopped at them all being RPG's and having a significant amount of VO. By the way, I looked up videos to show just how much VO there is in Persona 5. All "cutscenes" are fully voiced, and there is a guy who made the series covering all but two of the months, and the social links. He did not cover November, December, or the ending. I added up the length of the videos, regardless of them not being complete. It was 35.5 hours, and it isn't even the whole game, which would probably put the real total at around 40 hours. Please just think about that, and the fact that all VO is in two languages, before you claim it doesn't have much VO in it again. It has VO coming out it's rear.

I am stupidly boring. I am mostly just looking forward to playing the game at all.

Looks great! Portraits usually have a neutral background though. Might clash a bit with the rest of the art Nah, it looks fine with it's normal BG. Some of the official Eternity portraits also have busier backgrounds, so I doubt it will clash that much.

Personally I am just becoming increasingly confused. Why did you buy white march, then install it, if you had no intention of playing through that content? Assuming perhaps you thought you would enjoy it, then just found out you did not... ok. Then why did you not just uninstall that content after realizing you didn't like it, which would prevent it from effecting your end state?

^This. Also let's not forget what happened to the Engwithans. The gods literally wiped them out for no other reason than "their tech is getting too advanced". I don't think there is much chance of Eora ever getting to a real industrial revolution as a result. Well unless there was some kind of major shake up first, which could happen who knows. Also Dog_Days, you need to play jrpg's. Yes, there is all sorts of traditional dosh, but there are also games based on the writings of Nietzsche, games that seriously explore politics, and others with truly wacked out premises like the entire world is just a video game and your characters find out their world is literally about to be deleted. In fact many JRPG's get way more experimental than any western RPG when it comes to story.

I wouldn't trust beta stuff to give you a good idea at this point. Go check out some videos and just focus on what you see npc's with. I am sure there are some nice vids for Neketaka that should show a good selection of clothing options. Also Boerer, love how you coordinated those rapiers, very stylish.

Only if the trade off was the only thing they could offhand was a shield. Even then it is still too OP, just like Monkey Grip always has been.

So here you go. Came out okay I think.

Lol I actually like that portrait so I will see what I can do, enjoy your game!

Man, that game looks beautiful. I have to try it. Lol Hollow Knight is overrated as hell. Also it was an okay game until the final bit then it pretty much just sucks because it decides it doesn't want to be a slightly harder castlevania anymore, it wants to be super meat boy and dark souls. Symphony of the Night is in no danger from that game. Also best line of the day has to go to that dark elf with "I've fought guars more ferocious than you."

Best upcoming let's play series on the internet = "I was gonna play Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, but then I got high!"

Only according to youtubers and twitch streamers.
