Language - How should people talk?
lolaldanee replied to SophosTheWise's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)don't know about that, redemption is one of 3 games where i liked the german version better than the english one, and they did away with the old language there (or maybe i just didn't notice it that much) on the other hand, the older english in tolkiens books is awesome (hell, everything! in tolkiens books is awesome, especially language-wise) undecided...

Josh Sawyer on Miss and Hit
Many misses would likely be reduced to fractional Stamina damage and, by association, even smaller Health damage (we do track the fractions). Currently, our DT system has the same minimum 20% system as F:NV (excepting Crushing weapons, which currently do minimum 40%). Decent armor would turn that 3 Damage into 0.6 Stamina damage and 0.15 Health damage. Ten "missed" blows would result in 6 points of Stamina damage and 1.5 points of Health damage. well, how about this: this sounds pretty cool for stamina actually, because constantly dodging takes its toll on stamina, but for health it's just wrong somehow why not have the always-to-be-inflicted damage only apply to stamina? this way you would have your less random system where every attack counts, but not the odd side effect of people dying though having been missed 20 times in a row if the system was to work like this, skills like parry could then e.g. increase the amount of stamina damage you take when being missed, but increase the chance of beeing missed -> trading health damage for stamina damage would love to hear your opinion on this

Dialog mostly voiced?
Probably don't have to worry about this one. I don't think any of us want another Hawke. you think wrongly then while you may be right that many people on this board will share this opinion, i for one, and i'm sure i'm not alone on this, think that few things can lift a game up as much as a well voiced main character the mentioned dragon age 2 (at least the female hawke, which i played), aquanox2 and alpha protocol are only some examples that profited massively from well voiced main characters on the contrary, i would say the missing voice acting for the main char in games like dishonored and dragon age 1 is those games greatest flaw on the point that a community can't do good voice acting, go and play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tlo_5U6fqqw

Stretch Goal - hire Justin Sweet to make portraits.
everyday a thread concerning justin sweet gets bumped and new paintings are posted is a good day for the human race or as someone wiser than me once said about his work: "That's some small strokes of the brush for a man, but a giant leap in the art for mankind"

Should P:E have time limits?
lolaldanee replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)timelimits? where they make sense: yes see that guy drowning? rescue him NOW or not at all but mostly i'd like to have as few time limits as possible without making the game feel "wrong"

Armor Slots and Clothing
i'd be for an all out realistic approach like e.g. 3+ main armour slots example: byzantine heavy cavalrymen would wear: padding, above that a combination of mail, lamellar and plate, and above that another layer of padding one thing that always buged me in DnD: of all the armour pieces, a helmet has been by FAR the most important one for any soldier throughout human history, and yet in DnD helmets don't have armour rating at all, WTF?

Obsidian's front page survey
lol @Call of Duty i guess i'll have to pick it, since i really can't choose art style from icewind dale + planescapes good characters + baldurs gate 2 balance between combat and talking would be my preference isn't this what they said they would make in the pitch anyway?

Promised a dev i'd play Alpha Protocol after backing Eternity
alpha protocol rocks the house! it had all the usual obsidian problems: horrible camera movement, bad ai, unbalanced boss fights but also all the obsidian "oh my god is this awesome"-things: great characters, unique setting, VERY different ways to play it, VERY VERY VERY different ways the story and characters react to what you do it's a shining example of how to design a fantastic game, and horrible example how to actually program all that stuff
