^^^ I'm sure it will be of interest to a certain audience segment; less interesting to the hack-n-slay crowd.

Ammunition
rjshae replied to BrainMuncher's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Yup, my suggestion was to provide something like an abstracted ammunition "pipeline" that you purchase from a merchant and can then place in a slot. You're basically buying an "all you can use" contract--in effect, the storekeep is gambling that you will die before he takes a loss on the supplied ammo. -
I wonder whether UN observers be invited to oversee the Crimea referendum on joining Russia? That would help validate their claim; otherwise I can't see how the vote results would not be considered highly suspect.

Adam at Work
rjshae replied to Adam Brennecke's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Hi Adam, I'm curious to find out how the integration of the KS contributor NPC designs have been coming along? I'd imagine you're getting quite a few unusual ideas, which I'll bet are a challenge to adopt into the setting. Could you speak to that? Thank you. -
It has been said that playing plenty of games is helpful to developers. It's probably good for learning useful techniques, while observing elements to avoid or improve. I suspect that depth and breadth of experience may be more important than the specific games played.

The Case for Romance II
rjshae replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I had a curiosity question that is mildly related to the topic: apparently the God-like beings are unable to reproduce. In that case, are they entirely divested of their romantic tendencies due to their birthright? Or do they exhibit the normal range of romantic tendencies? I.e. are they Geralt-like (in reference to the protagonist in the Witcher CRPG)? -

You're a pretty perverse individual and delusional. Is he? is he really? But Boo's question is of such a personal nature... well, the thought of it makes me blush right down to my buttocks! Many thanks, Aerie! Soon, maybe, Boo can return his little-mind to thoughts of butt-kicking instead of butt-itching, and I for one shall be very relieved! Boo is small and evasive, and there is ever so much of Minsc to search. Boo must have his exercise, lest he bite us all in hard to reach places. A den of stinking evil. Cover your nose Boo! We will leave no crevice untouched! -
Perks/Characters traits
rjshae replied to Auxilius's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Possibly, if the only thing it impacted were emergent game play elements like your reputation scores. Branches to the plot line would likely be much more expensive. -
Whoosh... right over my head.

Perks/Characters traits
rjshae replied to Auxilius's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Every trait that effects dialogue may represent a large addition to the game development cost because all of those conversation trees need to be written. It's likely much cheaper to implement elements like skill modifiers. -

Thoughts on damage types
rjshae replied to ItinerantNomad's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Yes, one might make the hand waving argument that the spell magically creates a large positive charge on the targets that draws in the electron discharge. In effect, the targets briefly become more attractive than the ground. The plate armor then draws away part of the charge potential during the brief interval the charge reaches the target, reducing the effect by the designated amount. -

Animal companions

Can you get a pet Munchkin? -
Neither of which involved discovering entirely new physical laws....

Yes, the stretch goals included a player house and a stronghold. No mention of rusty the rodent slayer or thy faithful hound, sir stinky breath. -
Thoughts on damage types
rjshae replied to ItinerantNomad's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Josh's point about Accuracy bonuses is not exactly valid IMO. True, the more metal your armour contains, the more attractive it becomes to being struck by a bolt of electricity. But it also provides more protection from damage, even if it is not grounded. Another perspective is that an ideal suit of metal armor creates a constant electric potential throughout the enclosure. If there is no difference in electrical potential, then no charge will flow. It's the principle of the Faraday cage. -

As an alternative to a dog, a novel pet could be the elite domesticated silver fox. -
'Rolling' attributes
rjshae replied to magicwallis's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
If they wanted to please the dice-rolling crowd, they could randomly generate stats that always add up to the same point total. I.e. just: randomly assign points to the ability columns, use the points to generate the abilities assign any points left over (from insufficient totals to increase a high abilities) as bumps to the lowest abilities The dice rollers can then go mad using it to generate randomized character types. -
Spill your blasphemous opinions on CRPGs here

Romance discussions are like mold; unless you regularly clean the thread and keep it dry, the stuff just keeps showing up... -
