So that all of the character builds will be viable; you won't end up locking yourself into a non-viable character design. Otherwise, do you design for the lowest common denominator and make the game too easy for everybody else? No, a certain amount of balance is necessary. That being said though, it would be enjoyable to have some non-critical path quests be particularly favorable to certain builds.

I'm concerned about how many tweaks it is going to take to the final release before it is considered "in balance". Will it take months of feedback? Years? The game play for the initial release will be completely different from the ultimate balanced version, even more so than PoE was.

Well, Google doesn't have stormtroopers, yet. But yeah, always baffled at how much people overshare online - people need to lie more I'm not fond of lying, but yeah. I never give my correct birthdate, for example. That makes it way too easy for the slimey marketeers data analytic programs to track you down.

Is the answer Liberals? I think the answer is: with no particular party affiliation.

Well this may seem heretical *cough* but I think they should leave it this way, along with excluding certain custom subclasses. At a minimum, it provides room for unique characters like Pallegina that can't be reproduced through your character builds.

At first glance the Death godlike bonus would seem to synergize fairly well with the monk class. Take lots of endurance damage to power up your abilities, then strike hard when you're at your lowest.

Will this release include schedule-driven NPC behavior?

Today's bit of political irony: Trump, who pays next to no taxes, is complaining that Amazon doesn't pay enough taxes. Heh. Funny though, I get socked for sales taxes every time I shop there. Does the guy (Trump) have an ounce of statesmanship in his rather large body? We might need a dedicated medical team to spot it.

Glad to see NPR and BBC near the top center. Most cable news networks seem too political these days.

I enjoyed the music track in PoE. It wasn't the least bit jarring and often set a suitable mood for the environment. If the game music is putting somebody to sleep, I suspect it's just not to their particular taste. Musical preferences are a very personal choice, after all.

A rest is usually less than a day, so you may need to wait longer.
