LINK TO PAX EAST STREAM
Gonna do a playthrough just with my guys first. Second with the pre-made cast.

Steam Achievements
There is one achievement that I am not sure is really possible (without using some sort of exploit). It is called the Triple Crown Solo and requires that the player play the entire game solo, on expert mode, with trial of iron (party wipe deletes save), with Path of the Damned difficulty. None of our testers were able to get it naturally. Dear lord. Those are the kind of Difficulty Acheevs I like.
- Seriously, Obsidian?

Pillars of Eternity 2 and crowdfunding on Kickstarter?
Anyone that thinks the majority of audience/players are on an internet forum are seriously fooling themselves.

Sequel to Ultima Underworld out on Kickstarter now!
I broke and pledged $1 just so I could tell people that Diablo did not make The Bible popular.

Sequel to Ultima Underworld out on Kickstarter now!
Thank God that Kickstarter no longer uses Amazon (less fees), because this is a really low number for what they are trying to do. With fulfillment and KS fees, I'd wager the actual budget is around the low 700s.

Unreal Engine 4 is now free
Source 2 still not released. Such a big announcement and then nothing.

Similarities between older RPGs and the new ones
And whenever anyone has engaged you in exactly that, you've said "nu-uh! no!". Discussion is not just opinions you agree with.

Just a reminder: PaX East tommorrow march 7, 4:30
Having just come from GDC, it was insane seeing everyone rolling their eyes at PAX tomorrow. I get it. I've been there. Doing two events back to back is insane.

[Merged] Please make a console version!
The logic in this post is friggin' outstanding.

Unreal Engine 4 is now free
I made a patchwork level with pre-existing props last night. Also, a sidescroller with just a few platforms. It's really easy to use.

Update #90: Shipping and Strategy Guide
Dude, you really need to calm down. Passion is good, but it can become unhealthy real easily. I understand your point on passion and how it can cross over to being nonconstructive. However, I don't understand why I need to calm down? I made one post on this topic and I feel I was respectful in my tone. I stand by my posting unless you point out exactly where I crossed the line. You can see my post count, after this it will be only two. I didn't go crazy and insult anyone or pick at anyone who had a different opinion. What I'm saying is that you need to step back and breathe. It's not the end of the world. It's a video game. And by the way, I'd say the same thing about any luxury item.

Multiplayer vs. Single Player
TEam Fortress 2 is the best multiplayer. Hands down.

Obsidian's Preference - Our Purchase
Everywhere is gonna take a cut. Not sure if EA is still doing the "no cuts for 30 days" deal or not. That's just business.

Similarities between older RPGs and the new ones
Yeah, I'm not continuing this discussion if you're more intent on proving why everyone else who replies to you is wrong than actually having one at all.

Similarities between older RPGs and the new ones
Just because something has a different context does not mean it's not the same idea.

Similarities between older RPGs and the new ones
Those are specifics. The saying "only 9 (or 10, or 12) plots" refers to the basic overreaching plot, not the minute details of how they're brought about. It's just one of those sayings, with many grains of truth but not necessarily to be taken super literally... Anyway, games having similar plots is no different than the 1000's of films and TV shows with the same basic plots/premises. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie where the plot itself (not the details or how's, but the plot) wasn't something I've seen before. Video games haven't been around as long...but they are still going to be influenced heavily by whatever the developers of a game have read, watched, or played themselves. I can't really think of a specific game that reminds me another game story wise, because to me they're all largely the same to begin with if that make sense - the details can make them either more or less interesting, but it still all feels familiar. Oh yea? Try to find one single element in any game that is similar to PS:T. Some games are better and more original than others. I wasn't, but now I am. That's pretty funny. http://www.psu.com/forums/showthread.php/214782-BioWare-RPG-clich%C3%A9-chart You're not understanding the difference I was making between overall plot points vs. details aspect, are you? There is nothing like this game, not like its' overall plot (there is no real antagonist and your mission is to die) and not like its' detailed aspects. It won't fit into any cliche table like Dragon age and there isn't a single character that will fit into Look. Besides the fact that someone has already explained how cliche the premise of Planescape is, nothing is going to be 100% original. Nothing.

What you did today
House of Cards. Ten minutes. Goodbye, sleep.

GoG or Steam ?
Steam. The whole "but it is DRM freeeeeeeeeeeeeee" crap does nothing for me. Most of the games on GoG are too old to have DRM anyway.

Barakav sounds like someone that sues a well-known author because they just happened to have a similar idea.

What are you playing now?
Been playing a lot of There Came An Echo. Fantastic game, and I really like mixing up the voice commands. Everyone = Buttmunchers. You can change the voice commands to literally anything.

Wanna bet? How many inns will be in the game?
I highly doubt there will be more inns than were in the reward tier.

The Kickstarter Thread
Crowdfunding: second best choice after organized crime at funding a game. Publishers are much further down the list. Damn, son.
