Here's somebody who groks parallel processing...

Could be fixed by giving characters a 'turn-rate'. They use it in quite a few RTS games to control the speed that a unit can change directions. I personally would prefer it to be instant, or "jarring". It makes game controls feel so much more responsive. Less annoying, if you will. If I ask a character to walk somewhere, I want them to start walking, not take 1 second to turn around and then start to walk. Especially if you're like me, who will keep changing direction of my party all the time. I think it would need just enough frames for your eye to perceive the motion. But larger creatures like a dragon should take noticeably longer.

There seems to be a problem with this idea, where would the energy to do all these conversions come from? Electricity. The nanocrystals are acting as an efficient catalyst.

As per the night/day example screenshot, with the guard standing beside the turret/building corner, it seems like it's still a matter of their feet not quite "connecting" with the plane of the ground. Even though the character is, overall, matching the 2D background, he still looks like he's hovering mere inches (in-game-world inches) off the ground. He's really, really close, but he's not quite standing on it. It's probably an issue with the shadow. The shade appears faded near where the man's legs touch the ground, whereas in a real world view that's where the shadow should be the most sharp edged and deepest.

Partially animated load screens with acoustics would be a nice touch: leaves moving, waves shifting, merchants waving, people talking, crowd noises, ... that sort of thing. It would add some nice eye candy visual distraction while you're waiting. The added load on memory and CPU shouldn't impact the I/O throughput much, I would think.

Completely agree, alchemists, astrologers, saints could be good classes for PoE age period, but I am talking about druids, chanters and barbarians now which I have hard time imagine in renesaince era Imagine a different world in which the early Celtic culture didn't get repeatedly squashed by various empires and kingdoms. There's your Druids. As for Barbarians, Russian was invaded by the Mongols and Tatar tribes well into the early Renaissance. Chanters seem unique to this setting, unless you equate them to the Celtic Bards.

The Devil of Caroc was listed as having the highest kill level, IIRC. That suggested to me it was either the PC or his animal companion.

Moon Godlikes like to spend their cash in a hurry. By the end of the month, they're down to their last quarter.

Presumably you get a Power/Might damage bonus with a melee weapon?

That might be because everybody kept grousing about how the UI looks on their discussion boards. Of course, that would never happen here... no, not ever.

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).
