Albeit comparing Skyrim to DAI is like comparing crap to diarhea You didn't like Skyrim?

How hard is it to make a simple boolean flag accessible from one platform/software to another?

The DAO engine was great, but that's when Bioware used to have heart and soul. If you take the DAO engine, triple the polycount, add more shaders, man there is a lot of great things you can do. DAO should've made modding even easier. The best way to do this is just leave it all OPEN. Leave all your files open and exposed. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. Still, Skyrim is on top in regards to modding and design. There are so many things you can do to Skyrim, it baffles the mind. Skyrim has reached a point where nearly every single one of it's assets can be made from scratch using the same software the professionals used to make the game in the first place. *CENSORED COMMENT*

That is good writing, see if the game was moddable we could get that into POE right now, make a new companion and even get someone to voice act it. Very nice.

In the start of the game, if you save Heodan while he's injured, you are forced to be benevolent or rational. If he's complaining, there should be an option: AGGRESSIVE - "Follow us or be on your own". CRUEL - "You coxfither!" {attack Heodan} Come on now. Another problem are the traps, isn't it better to just not disable them and just come back to disarm them for the experience? Or is that too much meta gaming? Given that you explore the entire place, one could come up with this without meta gaming.

You know, another thing I would've liked to do is take the existing character models and get them into 3D Studio Max, change them around, up their poly count, then have the game let us zoom in even more during dialogue conversations. Just thinking out loud here.

Did you like POE?

Think of it this way, the foundation has been laid out for POE 2. POE 2 will most likely feature modding by letting players add custom voice acting to custom companions. Players will be able to release companion mods like Skyrim has. If they prefer, no voice acting and just text/dialogue. POE is a strong foundation that should technically make POE 2 an even better game. As long as they don't pull a Bioware and switch to a completely foreign engine that they don't know how to use and end up with DA2 & DAI with a bucket load of excuses.

Here, let's summarize my entire post into a single image.

Being able to level up to 24-36 with lots more character customization.

My personal experience Here is what I've learned from Dragon Age Inquisition. A) Most feminists want censorship in games and NOT equality. B) LGBT want censorship and want revenge on straight people for years of oppression. C) LGBT/Feminists have made an attack against straight male gamers by purposely making Cassandra Pentaghast look like a man and making Josephine as ugly as possible, thus setting up straight male gamers to be called bigots & misogynists if they express a desire for more attractive women. Bioware employees shows support for feminist Anita Sarkeesian who are calling for heavy censorship in games and NOT equality. I repeat Anita Sarkeesian does not want equality, she wants censorship. When I see Anita rage, all I see are ex-girlfriends who didn't like me playing games on my computer. Source: Bioware Employee's David Gaider & John Epler defending Anita Sarkeesian - http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?app=forums&module=post&section=post&do=new_post&f=8 - John Epler is also mentioned, keep in mind John Epler is known for heavy censorship of forum posts on Bioware. It's not a surprise seeing him support feminists who are promoting censorship instead of equality. FOR THE RECORD: I do not approve of anyone threatening females in anyway. If I see that in real life, I will respond and protect the female with my life. I also respect a women's right to free speech. Unfortunately Bioware forum moderators respect a feminists and LGBT's freedom of speech far more than a straight male persons right to speak. Objective Evidence - Brothel removed from DAI even though present in DAO, DA2. - Desire demons removed from DAI even though present in DAO, DA2. - 98.3% of women in DAI have been hit with the ugly stick except for morrigan, leliana and isabela (she's in the multiplayer now). - Cassandra Pentaghast modeled with a male skull, instead of a female skull. - Most straight male gamers complaining about the PC of Dragon Age Inquisition get their posts locked, end up getting multiple warnings or get flat out banned. - Please report any other content removal that may relate to feminists and lgbt's getting their way. When you remove content people have come to expect from a series, your product will fall under the category of bait & switch. Goal of this post a) To prove that most feminsts & LGBT want censorship in gaming based upon Dragon Age Inquisition political correct design. They want cenorship and NOT equality. b) To help give companies an idea of the various kinds of gamers that are present in the community. c) To prove to the community that straight male gamers want equality and not censorship when in fact feminists & LGBT are demanding censorship. d) To let my fellow straight male gamers know that if you are called a bigot or misogynist, just don't give a ****. We know how much we love the ladies. I've been called a bigot and a misogynist, but I've yet to meet a feminist or LGBT who actually tried to understand a straight male gamers point of view. Let the mature discussion commence. DISCLAIMER I give permission to anyone to go full blast on me, you can call me names, use profanity and basically just be your true self. I will not be affected by this in anyway.

A thigh gap is just a sign of a severe eating-disorder. I'm going to delve deep into your comment Please not. Fair enough. I edited my post and removed my response out of respect. *cheers*. I take it you are a lady?

I know a lot of people don't like the voice acting, so I hope they at least design POE 2 in a way where the users can add voice acting themselves with extreme ease. Something like this: 1. Every NPC dialogue response has unique ID. 2. Choosing dialogue automatically attempts to play a wav file with the unique id as a filename if present (fileexists). 3. Modders can then turn on a flag in the console menu that shows a dialogue's unique id at the end of each response sentence, so modders know what to name the voice file for that response. This will allow modders to add custom voice acting and those who want it can download it.

Do you happen to know what advantage unity 5 gives in regards to modding?

Obsidian just let us know how much kickstarter you need for POE 2 once you have it all figured it out, even if you need kickstarter for POE expanasion just share the idea with us, TALK TO US Ideally: A) Goal - $5,000,000 - Allows POE 2 do add a lot of voice acting, modding tools and features x,y,z B) Goal - $3,000,000 - Allows POE 2 to add features x, y, z C) Goal - $1,000,000 - Allows POE 2 to add core/essential features ... etc Modding is the most important, it's what keeps Skyrim selling so good to this day, eye candy ftw if you catch my drift, sex sells. I can share more details about this in a PM, since I want to avoid explicit/vulgar discussion.

I agree. Let's take a random fantasy movie. Let's say Conan the Barbarian (old school). Even he had a romance in that movie with the Valeria character. It's all about immersion. She was a companion that hanged out with him through out the movie. Then of course Conan had his thief/archer friend. I too would like to see POE 2 take a shot at romance options, but I'll say this again. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE WOMAN LOOK LIKE A MAN THE SAME WAY BIOWARE MADE CASSANDRA PENTAGHAST LOOK LIKE A MAN. LOL, sorry I couldn't help myself. This is an example of a strong woman who still retains her feminine quality. Kotor 1 had this I think with the Juhani character.

He wants a skill/trait that you can choose when you level up that gives you additional benefits while being drunk. Sounds like fun, maybe a feature for Pillars of Eternity 2.

After reading this thread, I may have to check out Baldurs gate. I think I really missed out on that game. Do you guys know if Baldurs gate would be possible to beat in trial of iron mode even though it doesn't have one? I also agree, I am no longer buying Bioware games, due to dragon age inquisition since it's purely a gay/lesbian/feminist/wow franchise now that serves as nothing more than empty sequel bait. What are the best gaming companies for RPG's? Obsidian won me over big time with POE, Bethesda makes good elder scrolls games, what else though?

OP, You're going to download and install 1.05, you love POE too much. Then you're going to report your progress here and you'll say: "man this patch isn't that bad, these changes all make sense now.."

Jesus, what a horrible, unnecessary feature. Just the existence of it degrades the player immersion. I think that's only regards to custom made companions right? Hypothetically you can change the current companions portraits without any kind of patch and make them look exactly like their 3d counterparts. THANK YOU FOR THE WEAPON SWAP HOTKEY, IT"S BOUND TO MY MOUSE, IT"S SO EASY TO SWITCH WEAPONS NOW, THX

(DISCLAIMER: I will only reply to your response in this post. In other words I'm not going to make a new post to respond to you, just scroll up and check this post for responses, thx). I'd just like to add that if POE 2 adds romance, please make sure the female looks like an actual female and please do not make her look like a man in anyway, thank you. Check my profile picture for an example of female vs male. Bioware has done this with Tali. But I judged her based upon her unbelievably amazing figure which was extremely feminine in nature. Her facial bone structure, although covered, still implies beauty because it adhered to a supermodels facial bone structure. I could tell she has good genes with a high chance of physical beauty underneath which qualified her as a romance option. Simply put, she was a safe bet and worth the risk! Tali also had a thigh gap which is a sign of good genes. If Cassandra Pentaghast was hypothetically covered, then everyone would automatically mistake her for a man since all you'd see is the male facial structure they modeled her after.

Are the books voice acted?

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US RE-SPEC COMPANIONS *HUGS* :) THANK YOU FOR LETTING US RE-SPEC COMPANIONS *HUGS* :) THANK YOU FOR LETTING US RE-SPEC COMPANIONS *HUGS* :) However, the companion stats weren't bad to begin with, they were pretty normal compared to other companion stats in other games. But letting us re-spec them just makes the game that much more fun.

You guys want to know what I do half the time to deal with the issue of not being able to issue a hold position command? I select Eder, Bear Companion & Kana and then set them to NOT attack, they literally just stand there doing nothing while soaking up hits. This way the shield/meat wall is intact to protect durance, aloth & my character in the back. The best way to ensure the shield/meat wall stays intact is to make sure your tanks NEVER attack, select them hit X and just leave them there standing and taking damage. I don't know if this issue is a big deal, hypothetically if Eder attacks, it won't matter. He has the ruffian weapon focus which isn't useful. I have him wielding a hatchet, so it's not like hitting with a hatchet is actually going to hurt anything on POTD difficulty. So if he just stands there doing nothing, he is serving his purpose by tanking and taking hits, doesn't matter if he hits the enemy back lol.

I agree with you entirely. On POTD, TOI, there is hardly room for error, the last thing you want to deal with is the tank automatically moving and breaking that wall formation. When the tank automatically moves, you have to move him back into position and the risk of a disengage free attack from the enemy. King Leonidas: "A single weak spot and the phalanx shatters". I've tried the disable auto-attack, but for some odd reason it isn't reliable. * Hold position would be ideal and keep in mind it's not a new concept. * Hold position was also in Dragon Age Origins. If POE doesn't have hold position, then perhaps POE 2 will gain this feature.
