And another thing to consider. Everybody repeat and repeat 'we need real emotions, bla-bla-bla'. Ok we had a recent game from Obsidian - Fallout: New Vegas. The *cough* RPG of a sort (or action-rpg). Does it have 'deep real emotions' that you want or not? I really don't understand the 'we need deep and properly written emotions'. So you expect from Obsidian something like 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky?

I'd argue that having romance dialogue does alot for RP, it lets people roleplay a more diverse character and gives a reason become emotionally attached to NPCs. It helps the dialogue to reflect what kind of character you are playing and enables you to define and characterise the PC. Same argument here. And btw, why only Int? What about Cha?

From my perspective if we are short on resources then we should drop this Arcanum-style 'Low-Int' dialogues. It really nearly doubles work for dialogues, and for what??? Ok, you like low int guys. And I like low Charisma guys, maybe I should request special dialogues for Low-Cha characters? So, if you are worried on effort model here, think about effort that is used to create Low-Int interactions. If I will be asked - drop one - "good romance or Low-Int interactions" I would definitely drop Low-Int.

Absolutely right! Some people here, on Obsidian forums, complained something like "Oh, those banters, I hate them! I kicked Imoen cause she participated in a lot of NPC talks. From my point of view - the more banters, that more NPC-initiated dialogue we have, the better

There is a good mod Baldur's Gate Trilogy (that combines BG with BG2) and we can basically pretend then that it's one game

Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale 2

Baldur's Gate 2

I want BG2 romances as guidelines how to do romances (except Anomen, his could... be improved ) in PE.

Guys, are you specifically trying to confuse people? So, if I'm hit with a sword I will lose what stat and in what proportion? As I understand now, it's kinda 80% / 20% (80% of damage go to Stamina, 20% go to HP). Ok, not shields like Halo/ME, it's Armor/Health like in CounterStrike.

Just a question for those anti-sex, anti-romance, anti-all supporters. What do you think about Mr. Fisto Robot and Ghoul Cowboy Prostitute from Fallout: New Vegas game?

So basically Stamina in this system is like shields in... Halo/Mass Effect, and hp - are health, right?

Oh that's good news, that people that liked Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 games and supported PE (used as reference by Obsidian, actually, as one of their basis for PE) are welcomed here. I'm relieved.

Just to clarify - is it bad or good, that fans of BG/BG2 are here?

Ok, from your point of view. For what stands Stamina stat?

Sorry this greatly breaks any kind of immersion and is just plain silly. Stamina lost during dodging the blow? So to dodge a blow from Hill Giant I spend 50 Stamina, and to dodge of of 5persecond attacks by mega-super-duelist (but he wields only rapier) I use 15 Stamina? Gods, let this never never never happen in this game. Please send a direct message to Obsidian's heads to not use this kind of system.

This explains a lot, actually.

That's why I was strongly against Adventurer's Hall. Adv Hall in the game about deep rpg elements (basically NPCs, their motives, reactions, story, etc.) is just... Wrong. So people got an OPTION to avoid some content. And now, after they recieved this OPTION they try to reduce our OPTIONS using this Adv Hall as argument??? Great. You greatly greatly dissapointed me. I'll go to my small hamster's house and I'm gonna eat a lot of carrots, just to cheer up.

the discussion about censorship, and all that romance hate is so facepalm, that I really can't describe my emotional stat right now.

Again. Please confirm to me that it is intended, that when my character is HURT BY A SWORD he will lose mostly his HP, not some silly stamina. When he is burnt by fireball he loses HP, not Stamina. If not, them Stamina is basically HPs that can be restored by COOLDOWN abilities.

Example of superb ending story/format.

Hi! I'm rather sceptical Miniature Giant Space Hamster, and I'm sure you will learn to hate such cute rodent as me.

Actually yes, cause love - is one of the core emotional things in this world. Only 'foreveralone' guys don't understand this.

It's completely untrue. Just play BG2 and you will see that there is no forcing romance on you and there are PLENTY of different characters without romances at all. For gods sake, they created Minsk, the best RPG character evar. WHAT??? It's total ... Sorry for being rude, but what you say is total noncence. Jaheira's romance is one of the best ones in BG2 and makes her character so deep... Hell. I don't even want to talk with you you about this whole romance thing after such statement from you.

In DMG 1st edition there was actually a table to generate random prostitute for a character. And a lot of D&D novels and modules involve romance. And about argument. It's good idead to respect games, that started an era of IE games that Obsidian is trying to recreate.
