  1. I concur. The inventory system at this moment seems extremely tacked on.
  2. Yeah, Obsidian is really going to just be twiddling their thumbs from now until launch. If it comes out in mid-November, that gives them maybe three and a half months before gold. If it's December, that's four. So far, none of these bugs are things that should take more than a few days to weeks.
  3. I'm thinking of starting #3 up tomorrow morning, just exploration stuff, but I can do one now if people are interested.
  4. I don't see why everyone is praising this thread. I mean, it's nice, but let's not act like we're not supposed to be criticizing the beta. Agreed on all accounts. - Portraits - art direction - level design
  5. I would hope - this being the beta and all - that people will be honest about the flaws. Otherwise it won't get fixed because Obsidian will think its okay. Fully agree. 1) Nobody is saying you should not be addressing the games flaws. What we're saying is that if you expected it to be "more done", then you were fooling yourself. I'm sorry that you are now facing the realities of making a complex product, but these are the realities. 2) The idea that Obsidian won't do **** if we don't report it is complete bull. This is their job.
  6. And while I don't think we'll see Enemy EXP in PoE 1 (it seems like one of those things that would need to have been implemented on day one), we possibly could see it in PoE 2 if people start lopping off heads.
  7. I don't even know how to respond to this. ... what did you expect?
  8. Was just playing the game, got every quest in Dyrford, but then was not able to get Dyrford Forest to show up on the overworld. Unfortunately, I was not able to replicate this bug in a new playthrough.
  9. Come on man, they sent like 4 guys to one of the largest press events in PC gaming for a long weekend to plug it so they can actually sell it to more than just the backers. They're doing their job. They are also video game developers that have to deliver a hugely ambitious project independent of publisher or VC money. They do have a lot on their plate regardless. To think developing video games is easy is foolish.
  10. If they are not in now, I doubt they'd find their way in. We're so close to release that I doubt it's a quick programming fix.
  11. I cannot form a valid opinion until the Quest bug is fixed. Man, I sound like a broken record.
  12. Talking to Lord Harod/Harold/???, the writing takes the very, very complex concept of the poor and/or ignorant masses having rivalry with the rich and cultured out of some personal insecurities... and weaves it in a few simple sentences as to not only get that across, but make it very eloquent and understandable.
  13. Yup, that's exactly what I think. Yeah. This.
  14. I was wondering about that very question during character creation, myself. Given that many RPG players are going to be coming in with the assumption that Might = Strength, it might not hurt to make this explicit in the Might description in-game? Say that it increases physical and magical damage, rather than simply "damage." I second this. As much as people don't like **** being streamlined, you guys of all people know that you need to dumb it down as much as possible (and before anyone asks, no, "dumb it down" does not mean strip it of all function so those with the IQ of 20 can use it).
  15. I renamed both my videos to proper chapter names, and #1 is now called Character Creation Porn.
  16. Wounds were a nice idea, but in a game where you have a party of four to six, it gets way too micromanagey.
  17. I still can't accurately judge this mechanic until they fix the XP/Quest bug.
  18. You realize more than half the Obsidian userbase overlaps with BioWare, right? I mean, you have 400+ posts.
  19. Chanters are getting nerfed. Word of God. Honestly, let's speak in Real Talk. They are way too overpowered. Paladins are balanced. But Chanters are way OP. I dislike both Monk and Cipher. I don't want to have to micromanage a party members metagame playstyle in order to even be able to use them effectively. One guy in my stream made a comment that was both funny and poignant: "Rangers can summon a bear, but Druids can be a bear."
  20. Man, this has been stopping almost ALL streams I've been watching in their tracks.
  21. Yeah, this was clearly a design decision to cast as wide a net for beta as possible.
  22. It's writing that makes you actually want to read it rather than just skip and get the general jist.
