  1. It would if the rider could dismount (or be dismounted) and fight separately.
  2. Its the average change in mental inertia divided by the butthurt factor from the first release, plus a constant.
  3. I'd be happy to just see the occasional mounted soldier as an environmental asset. It wouldn't need to involve combat.
  4. Fantasy games are all about the variety. Mounted combat would add new tactics, new weapons, and new combinations of opponents. That would have been exciting in an action game. Now it's an auto-combat game. Being on a mount will give you + defense, + offence, maybe restrict you from some weapon, give you a couple extra, restrict you from using some abilities give you a few other abilities... ok doesen't sound that exciting to me. Like you could use a modal ability or something. +++fantasy atmosphere But yeah, given your particular tastes it's probably not that interesting.
  5. Well, I don't know if you're serious or not but he had the biggest writing role in PoE1. If you or anyone else hadn't heard of him its probably partly cos of Obs used more well known devs on marketing/panels etc despite they may have had lesser roles in the development of PoE. Okay, he's a writer. I'm still not clear why all the excitement.

  7. On the news today, the announced the "President's FY 2017 budget". Apparently FY stands for "Fiscal Year", although the content looks closer to some other FY phrase... hmm.
  8. Time stops when you're travelling at the speed of light. Ergo, you won't be flipping on any light switches.
  9. Well it's just a suggestion, not canon.
  10. Here's a couple more additions. First is a walkthrough of the "Classic Dungeon" port from NWN showing all the different tile variations, along with the marvelous Otyugh in action: Meanwhile, Kallister68 has been working on a new creature model: the Crocadile. Here is the walk cycle: and an idle animation:
  11. There could be orphanages for god-like children where the abandoned infants are raised by understanding and supportive godlike adults. They may even grow up to live in an island commune of godlikes, dedicated to mutual protection.
  12. Perhaps a little-known fact: godlike actually can reproduce, but only with certain divine spirits drawn from the native plane of their originating god. The result of their procreation is a multi-planar creature possessing unique abilities and motivations. Few god-like beings ever achieve this, or even know of it. But of those that do, their child is likely to be an exceptional creation.
  13. My sympathies to the unfortunate victims. All terrorism does is spread hate.
  14. 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.
  15. Or at least tintable portraits, with multiple color channels.
  16. 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.
