BTW Is there any way to apply the default conversation portrait filter to custom portraits?

One of the best experience of these kind of game is getting to KNOW all classes and make them work together as a perfect team under full player control, not some retarded AI.
I never bothered with companion AI even when playing DA:O.

Every IE veteran who likes to mess with fireballs/skulltraps/cloudkills a lot should have no problem dealing with expert mode.

You can only select Expert mode when starting a new game, and you can't get it back on once you turned it off.

I've waited for more than 2 years.
Won't mind a few more hours.

Playing Cities: Skyline for the time being.
A brilliant game that brings back my childhood memory messing with SimCity2000.

So even this kind of details are equivalent to the real world, great job, Obsidian!

I don't know about the setting, but all of those are vaguely distorted European titles:
earls, thanes, grafen, dukes
That said, most of those are not in the same hierarchy.
Graf is German for Count. Earl is like an English Count. Dukes are above Counts. Thanes are ... not in the same system, but it's a bit like a Scottish or German Pagan count. Duc is also French for Duke.
Basically, it goes like this:
Emperor / Pope
King
Duke
Count
Baron
But there aren't really any single system either. You might notice one of the country is called a Palatinate, which is a land ruled by a free prince. Which is something that was found in Germany (indeed, one of the Bündesländer of the German federation is call the Rhenish Palatinate in English.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is ... it's understandable you don't understand this mess because there isn't a single system. Each region had its own ideas and the idea of a unified system is more or less people trying to force order unto a disordered system.
In PoE, if I had to guess, the distinction for many of these are cultural. Most of these titles just translate to "leader" anyhow. If someone has a title they might be in charge of the settlement they live in, unless there is someone with a higher title.
So everyone is count/dukes then!
Kind of getting the picture. Seems we can only make it up for ourselves.
Thanks anyway!

Been reading the lore until the game comes out at 3/26, the guys at Obsidian sure did a great job building up the world and culture from scratch and thumbs up to them. But I'm all confused by the noble ranks described in the in-game books - all these erls, thayns, gréf, ducs, something like that.
Since I live in asia and is not familiar with european noble hierarchy, also I tried reading the wiki page about noble ranks but still can't get a picture of it.
Is anyone kind enough to give it a quick description?
-
Some polishes maybe, but no major change or new contents I believe.
At least one expansion will be coming though.
-
It's a pity they didn't use the conversation system in Storm of Zehir.

Can't decide between a rogue and a barbarian since I'll be going for a all-companion party for the first playthrough.

Why are you making POE in 2D? I saw your screenshots and the latest videos, POE graphics look extremely dated, like it's from 2001 or something.
So that 10 years later these hand-painted backgrounds will still be decent to look at.
Just try googling some 3D games from around 2000 and compare them to old IE games.

Fireball is moving uberfast even in slow mode : \
Isn't fireballs in IE games also superfast?
Also I find slow mode makes combat pace in PoE much better.
Hope they can do something like auto-slow mode when in combat... if it's still manageable.
-
Spells in old IE games and PoE I believe are best used for buffs, debuffs and crowd control, try to understand what they do. The beetles are really not that difficult once you get familiar with the system and know-hows.

Hoping final product would have the same detail!

GREATEST news this year!
Thank you Obsidian!

Tried doing watercolor following the tutorial. Still, maybe some experts can make it even better!
The size here is 210*330, so just crop to the size you need.
