Romance and friendship?
kenup replied to Krikkert's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Why? There will be mods for PE, we can't stop it at this point even if we wanted to - and Nexus is arguably the best place to put them on. Where else would you want to see them? In a place where there are limits about what is allowed. And also in a place where it's not populated by bethesda fatboys that download porn mods primarily. What's up with this totalitarian mindset? So trying to deny people romances in the main game is not enough, now you are willing to deny them to have theirs in their personal small apartment HDD mod space? Ban and censor the opposition right in their homes? I don't care about what they have, or do, in their homes. But there should always be limits and rules in a community, both on-line and off-line. It can't just be "anything goes". There is no totalitarian mindset, it's logic. -

Well, to be fair, in DA3 they can proclaim Leliana has been resurrected by Andraste herself peeping out from Heavens, confirming the Maker is real while they are on it. So that or something like that can add some common sense to the retcon. Only if they patch origins, so my warden can pee on the ashes. Then have DA4 about the warden killing anyone with the mind to serve the maker and the maker at the end. -

That's the reason I was, and still am, against allowing mods on nexus for PE. "Romantic" romance mods will be the least concern though. -

Not really. Alistair stays dead in DA2 if you killed him in DAO; Zevran reappearing in DA2 after being killed in DAO is a confirmed bug, he is not supposed to do so. Leliana is a confirmed retcon though. The 'default' is all three survives, though. Sure, you can import a game, but they all survive if you don't. I was talking about the import though. But anyway, it doesn't matter how many stay dead(and an import bug doesn't help things), or stay alive, as long as they retcon whatever they deem necessary, without care for player choice. Of course as I said in a previous post, player choice is the bad guy from time to time. -

Leliana, Zevran(and rightly so) and Alistair were also quite killable in the first DA, but unfortunately they retconed everything about those 3. Morrigan and her Mother were supposed to be part of an overarching plot and that's why they weren't killable, I'm guessing, but Bioware chickened out in order to make DS2.....uh I mean DA2. Who cares about his martyrdom syndrom. If only the writing made actual sense his trial and/or death should had ended the conflict. -

I didn't, but that's because I don't remember James Bond ever getting raped. My MT never got raped. And I never saw CIE, she had funny interactions but that's about it, besides the one mission she's always in. I used Albatross as a handler whenever I could. -

Well you get achievements for romancing each character that can be romanced in DA and ME. That's a pretty much open admission as to how important Bioware thinks these things are. In Alpha Protocol you got an achievement if you slept with all the women in one playthrough even. But, to be fair, you were given the option to play James Bond, so... Am I the only one who didn't play AP like a James Bond movie? -

You know, even heroes sometimes cry and need a lovely hug. (Having options in a game is always good), As much as I love having options in games, I think having options is the problem, for any kind of relationship outcome. It's the gamer's interference that breaks things not the writers'(unless they are bad writers). -

The development hasn't really begun yet, and we already have people playing necromancers. -

On a completely unrelated note, due to sleep deprivation, I don't think I will ever stop reading your name as "DocDoomil". I just call him Double Ds! -
Did we get last stretch goal?
kenup replied to jediwolf's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
No. Failed payments aren't included. So then, the number we see is the succesful transactions only. Which means we are fine, I guess. Otherwise, I'm sure we are still good. -
The $4.200 might not seem much, but most have already pledged more than that. Also at least LordCrash was upping his pledge by a lot more for the $3.0mi;, $3.5mil and I think $2.8mil stretch goals. Even if there are rewards chosen for those, it's still inspiration from the order. Edit: Just wait for the game to appear on the media and gaming news or be released. I hope that will change the lost ship's mind. But either way, there is nothing serious about it.

This is the second project I back, so I don't know either, but wouldn't the final total amount show only the successful transactions? I don't know how much they would wait, and how much banks etc. affect that. -

In fact we are over $4.1mil with PP. Might as well have something extra for that $100k. -

He should post LPs on youtube. Half the people here can't be up or on the forums at the hours they are streaming. -
