    The one element I dislike about early access is that it can result in too much 'leakage' of information before the game is shipped fully ready to play. Otherwise I can live with other people paying to enhance the game.

    Five skills would make it even more bland than the DA:O system. *sigh*

    I have no issue with weapon glows; they are supposed to be magical and should stand out. But I wouldn't mind if the effects had a subdued mode for long duration use. The effect could flare up when the weapon is readied, then return to subdued mode.

    Why do people find pulling pranks on people funny? A lot of humor is cruel.

    Those are persisting effects (Stinking Cloud and Cloudkill) and you can perfectly see any characters through those effects. If you had like 7 Entangle spells then it might get a bit ridiculous though Mmm, well I had some difficulty... *shrug*

    Cute.

    Okay. But note that some of the battles in the BG series could also get pretty overwhelming visually.

    It says that priests get their spells from faith, but not from their deity. So it sounds as if there won't be these typical D&D type "blessings". But maybe there will still be spells unique to certain religions? One can only assume, but I'd think that worshipping a god of death is different from worshipping a god of love. Good point. I would like it if there are at least some higher level spells that are unique to specific faiths.

    Just to be clear, this is a screen shot that I took from the magically-intense final boss battle from NWN. It's not even to close to typical, and is not representative of NWN2. This would be more typical for higher level NWN2:

    Superhot is a FPS that succeeded on its first day. Currently at $125K with 29 days to go.

    Perhaps I missed it, but the article does not mention whether Priests get access to specific spells based on their deity. All it says is that all Priests have a set of common spells.

    As long as they get the conversation blurb, "Ooze your mamma?"

    I'm sorry to curb your enthusiasm, but I don't think anyone in the dev team has commented on the subject of torture chambers so far. Personally I'd prefer that the torture SIM stuff be left for the fetish modders. Just saying...

    I'd like to turn off the game startup clips, especially when they are heinous like Atari's.

    Will Paladins will gain Priest spells? I don't recall that being stated, and if not that's a significant differentiator. The writeup on Paladins explains the other differences between the two faith-based classes.

    I thought that was the whole point of the Kickstarter effort: to bring back some of the feel of the IE games. Remember, BG was based on AD&D.

    I hope they don't. Prestige classes always seemed like a half-baked solution to the problem of building the character you want to play in a class-based system.
  20. rjshae
    Very nice. I like the level of detail, atmosphere, self-consistency, and culture you are integrating into each of the classes. Every class I've read thus far seems like one I would enjoy playing. I also like the amount of D&D heritage I'm recognizing in the spell descriptions. Good job. Thank you for the update.

    I'd no idea they had a scheduled release time...

    All I know is that the sixteen accounts I have on my ignore list resulted in a generally more pleasant and insightful reading experience.

    For the slacker backers, there will be the Silver Codpiece of the Camp Follower. They will also gain a unique goat pet named Thumper that is located, for reasons "beyond the comprehension of a mere mortal", in the depths of the Endless Paths. Attached to the pet, you will find an old scroll inside detailing what you may have won if you'd only selected a different door....

    IIRC, most of the supposed outrage at the time was stirred by one of the illustrations showing a top-heavy wearer of plate armor. (I think I heard about it indirectly from a news site.)

    I believe you get the Master of the Boot achievement, which supplies you with a mule-towed charcoal grill for your camp site along with a burly cook named Jordan.... ...nah, not really. We don't know.
