  1. Question is whether that is the in-game model, or the one they use to generate the normal map for the lower poly in-game model? Right now that looks good enough to serve as the character portrait.
  2. I think he'll first have to demonstrate that collecting rocks for research purposes is a religious practice, which would then be protected under the First Amendment. That amendment doesn't protect everything to do with religion.
  3. Will squishy Wizards gain a short-ranged teleportation spell, I wonder? Seems like they'll need it just to survive combat.
  4. ^^^ Choosing an outside publisher allows Obsidian to stay focused on their core business -- developing games.
  5. Presumably the prices will come down at some point, and there are always sales to consider. It may just be a matter of being willing to wait long enough.
  6. Very sad news about Chris Cornell. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/05/18/soundgarden-frontman-chris-cornell-dead-at-52/ Fame is overrated -- sounds like he was pretty lonely, even with a wife and kids.
  7. At this point, any updates are going to have release date marketing implications so I'd expect they will be providing notifications from that perspective. If they start showing all the neat new features too far in advance, potential customers may lose interest. I'm expecting then that we'll only get infrequent updates, with more shown closer to the release date. Just a guess.
  8. Here's a fight scene in the sewers with a third combat animation added:
  9. Never heard of them. Guess I'll wait with cautious optimism...
  10. Battle formations would have to be a thing first in order for that to work. As it is, they mostly fall apart on contact with the enemy. Yes, in the shifting tides of battle, lines change and reform. But fighters should benefit from conditions that don't especially favor the barbarian, if only to distinguish the two. Veteran fighters should benefit from fighting as a team... barbarians not so much. If you form a line with a fighter, you should be better off.
  11. I think that trained fighters should really benefit from being in a fighting formation. Their abilities should benefit those arrayed in the same formation. They gain this somewhat with the Guardian ability, but more could be done.
  12. Kid's going places. Not anywhere interesting, just places.
  13. I'm a fan of McCain. If he hadn't chosen Palin, who turned out to be more of a reality TV star than a politician, for VP I likely would have voted for him. Of course, those were the days when I liked both presidential candidates. Memories! I too was a McCain supporter, even though he kind of sold his soul to run for President. I still have much respect for him (and for Obama).
