Update #49: they announced the ship date is the end of August, 2014.

Dunno, their powers in PoE are innate, not granted by their deity. There should probably be some sort of consequence, but complete loss of powers? Nah. The Cleric's Holy Radiance and the paladin's Faith and Conviction abilities should drop to the bare minimum as a result of their fall, then rise thereafter. Their reputations should also suffer.

But wouldn't that make it mechanically flawed? I think she should wear armor that has no boob shape, full plate preferably. Not if it is engineered correctly; plate armor already has plenty of curved surfaces. Female armor is going to have a lower center of gravity because of the narrower shoulders, so chest bulges aren't going to upset the balance much. What you want to avoid are sharp corners and angles in the metal as those create stress points (which is why airplane windows are rounded).

Given the sneak radius they are implementing, one tactic could be to arrange the party so that the more stealthy party members are at point with the heavy iron further back in reserve. That way the sneaky characters get close enough to launch a surprise round, while the clunkers run forward to engage the survivors. To do that, we would need to be able to organize different formations then switch between them based on the circumstance. Plus the game would need to allow the party to perform ambushes.

Shield Maidens were found as defenders in armor (light?) who lost (how effective were they?). It's not just elite branches of the military. It's in everyday sports too, womens league exists for a reason. True, but, once again, this is not a real world simulation so one should not rely on our history as the absolute standard. This is a fantasy setting in which souls provide power. The rules are different. Women with intact souls may fight at least as well as men.

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.

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:
As long as they get the conversation blurb, "Ooze your mamma?"
I'd like to turn off the game startup clips, especially when they are heinous like Atari's.
