  1. Ran into this on the first battle. My rouge companion fell and after combat (party won) while her icon shows that she's recovered, and she is "occupying" a slot and moving with the party, she is invisible. I can move her around but her character avatar is just not there. Going to try reloading and see if this happens again, (recording this time so I'll have a vid record) 

  2. Whooo! Been awhile since I here, been reading this thread and I think it needs to be said again, the Original Idea for the $8 bucks came about during the original Kick Starter run, when the contributions were slowing slightly and we all wanted to see the next milestone hit. A few of us joked that if we all chipped in a buck or two, we'd easily pad maybe $50,000, then someone suggested $8 because  the number 8 looked like the symbol for Infinity (Eternity) and that was it.

     

    It was a *purely* voluntary contribution, with no expectation for anything other than to see the Kick-Starter contribution amount climb and we just called ourselves members of the Obsidian Order, out of the camaraderie in wanting to see Pillars do well.   

     

    That idea then took a life of its own and we saw a huge jump in mere hours.

    I think it was Fergus who came in later and went "WHAT are you people doing?!" ... THANKS!" or in vein of thought and thought that we (The Obsidian Order) should be recognized at the very least in game for giving more than he expected supporters would have done.

     

    Good times. :)

     

    ps: Yeah, looks like I am missing my KS Badge, but that's okies. 

    Don't really care too much about it. 

    Just make the game the best damned RPG this side of the Decade.

  3. I love you too bro.

     

    That last stretch of pledges was pretty epic. Congrats Obsidian!

     

    Heh.

    My wife gave me the "... it's your money... " line that really said "not if you want to sleep in the same bed with me.." and I guess it was too much to expect her and the kids to eat Ramen and Bacon a month and forgo our usual $1500 per month grocery allowance ;)

     

    Too bad though, itvwoit would have been nice to get that NPC tier. ;)

  4. 2,000,000 goal reached.

    We have houses people. :)

     

    As for what or how the order would be represented in game, it would be nice if we are benevolent and not malevolent as we DID help PE and thus it should be reflected as such in game. Perhaps as a secret order that the PC runs into early in game and at various times into his or her adventure and gets help just when its sorely needed.

     

    Or ....

    If we are going to feature Harlots, poultry inspectors, chicken wranglers as well as warmasters, assassins, and .. ahem!...a Fallen Archon, I can't but help think of Jarred's Adventuring Party in NWN2. (remember them after you got Crossroads Keep?) in which case you'll have a light hearted laugh at the "OO's" antics.

     

    Or better yet, BOTH of the above. ;)

  5. Its all about the illusion of choice.

    Baldur's (1+2), Planescape and yes, Fallout, all gave you the illusion of choice.

     

    The player felt that their choices mattered and THAT IS WHAT REALLY counts.

    The story itself can be rail-roaded but as long as the player doesn't feel that he or she is forced into a choice, didn't feel that choice taken away from him or her like that "game which should not be mentioned" the player will leave feeling satisfied.

     

    Obsidian has done it before.

    Just don't kill our companions by droping a mountain on top of them and leaving the player in a "left for dead" state for an ending.
