Question about the Expansion
I would be surprised if we at least didn't meet up with our companions in some capacity. The PC presser for E3 is scheduled on June 16th. E3 itself is the 16th-18th. I'm assuming we'll know more then.

Illegal Permaban
As a former admin of a gaming forum, this could backfire greatly. For one, we hate this kind of stuff. For two, don't assume that every single mod and admin knew and/or was complacent in your ban. Shining light on yourself to everyone will only make you a target in the future.

Hero-U Kickstarter: Quest For Glory spiritual successor
While I appreciate how candid and honesty they were in explaining their situation and where the new money would go, they also have a habit of not being the best diplomats. It's not just this time, either. They tend to berate their backers instead of finding another way to politely say "no".

An old but endless discussion...the Backer Achievement
More like: "I don't like it and here's why." "Who cares, I don't want it so you can't have it either." "Not fair!" "Bitch whine filthy achievement whore! Whine! Should have backed the KS! Bitch! Bitch!" ...where 95% of whining is done by one person. Well to be fair, regardless of opinion on the matter, if you didn't back it on KS, you shouldn't be surprised you can't get the KS Backer acheev.

How much $$$ would you like to see spent on voice acting in the sequel?
Both images are put together as if they are in the same context. One is from the prologue and the other is from the end of the game. One is glitched, the other isn't. Not to mention that both are purposefully picked to skewer the image of "New RPGs". DA2 has voiced dialogue, and that dialogue is much, much more than the three word answers of the wheel.

If Pillars of Eternity had romances
If have no idea what people consider friendship if they don't consider it love.

Where in game does it ever indicate achievements, an external feature, exist as an internal system? The game doesn't ever have a percentage system.

I would buy this game if it had multiplayer
Bryy replied to Genghis Khan Machiavellian's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Nobody ever realizes that they are referencing a scene involving a very immature character's over-reaction.

Bryy replied to Genghis Khan Machiavellian's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yes, because nothing is more anathemic to a game that playing with friends.

They already don't. This is just people being weird. Then what are we even discussing? People are upset that other people have a visual indicator that they actually helped out in the creation of the game. And, apparently, other people are getting upset that people are getting upset that people are getting upset.

PoE didn't need more VA budget, it needed more of those picture-book sequences
No it doesn't. That's straight up untrue. In fact, I'd put that up there with "Multiplayer Always Makes The Game Suffer". You can't say ridiculous lines like "it doesn't matter the budget" that conjure up images of infinite amounts of money only to follow it up with "this feature limited by nothing but money would always be true".

Um, what? As far as I know, achievements don't stop you from doing a competionist run. I've never understood completionists, nor Achievement Completionists. Don't be dense. 100% achievement completion. Not possible if not a backer. Doesn't matter that it's not important to you or me. Some value it, and there's no good reason to deny it to them. Oh please. I'm all for making content for as many people to experience as possible, but: 1) Achievements are not content. Not unless they actually unlock something in the game itself. 2) The Backer Acheev was an incentive for people to donate more money. If some people are pissed off that they don't have a reward that is exclusively for people that paid actual money towards the creation of the game... I don't know what to say to that. We're not talking a pre-order acheev here. We're talking an acheev that was specifically made for a specific group of people to show appreciation for helping. To just hand it out because some other people that were not involved at all want to feel special for doing jack squat is not only counter-productive, but really rather offensive. They did nothing to earn that credit. 3) Why are you defending this behavior? This isn't a censorship issue, it's not about player rights, it's not even a DLC issue. Seriously, what do you think you are going to accomplish by defending others rights to complain? Best reply yet.

I agree completely, but the sheer butthurt of OCD completionists is hilarious. "But if I don't see the two seconds of Shepard breathing post-credits, I won't have gotten the best ending!"

A BG3 that was likely a AAA, fully voiced, 3D game for PC and Console. Yeah, but if that's what they thought they needed to make the game, I don't really see the issue here. The issue is that people who make thing professionally sometimes get, unavoidably, discconected from what people think by the echo chamber of the general games industry at large. Its simply an assumed thing sometimes that because everyone is doing VA that its always the next thing to put resources towards. But in reality as this poll shows, and I am pretty certain a very large sample size would only swing it 10% or so, a assumption that more VA would be good if we only had the money is probably less well founded than may be generally thought. Reviewers rave about VA, other games spend tons of money on it, its a naturally forming self-reinforced misconception. Most people playing RPGs or Indie of various stipes simply don't care that much or only care in very specific instances. Reviewers can rave all they like about it, but the audience in general only raves about very particular VA performances in very particular sequences and they are smart enough to know this(on some level often not entirely consciously formed). We're talking about the guys that brought us Pillars. I'd be with you if it was Atari going "hey, here's $20 million", but it wasn't.
