I hear it was a slam dunk.

It would if the rider could dismount (or be dismounted) and fight separately. Didn't we have mounted units in Icewind Dale2? I remember goblins were riding some kind of wolves, and if you killed wolf the goblin would still fight as regular goblin unit. I don't see much reason for a horse, when you already have ship, but it might be an interesting idea for future. If the islands were sufficiently large, horses would make sense as farm animals and for towing wagons. But it might be interesting to have a unique mount type rather than a horse. Maybe a domesticated giant beetle? A seahorse. Battling giant scorpion-lobster (slobions?) mounts could be epic.

Caracas, Venezuela averaged 78 murders per day in 2016, and it's ongoing. Just saying...

I could see Ogres carrying light cannons. The game stats gives them decent Int, so an Ogre civilization could potentially learn to build and use them.

Sawyer also mentions that one of the barbarian subclasses is named corpse-eater... also something about needing sufficient supplies on your ship or your cannibal crewmembers will go wild...

Its the average change in mental inertia divided by the butthurt factor from the first release, plus a constant.

I'd be happy to just see the occasional mounted soldier as an environmental asset. It wouldn't need to involve combat.

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.

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.

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.

Time stops when you're travelling at the speed of light. Ergo, you won't be flipping on any light switches.

Well it's just a suggestion, not canon.

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:
