First of all congrats and welcome to the fold! Secondly, your nick.... You just can't... That's not... Makes my head hurt

The people asked for zIeT (edit: It was the people's idea to add him as a stretch goal, enough said. Argument end. Period) I'll just leave this here for you...

Maybe he is just upset because he didn't join first ....... or he really doesn't like us very much. in which case LOL It was not really something that I was expecting from Avellone. It's not like it really means anything, just the fans supporting the developer with an extra $8 per person.... But oh well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Including Avellone. Which means: This is real cool: And joining the OO is not cool... ^^ Now Dlux that's just cruel! What is cruel? you mean this? And until Avellone apologizes he is a big meanie!

Thats what happens when new members don't check the members list (and dlux slacks) ^^ I'll fix it. I am unique again... what a feeling! dlux

Oh noes! My individuality is in peril! Ronnie, Vanguard of the Obsidian Order I demand a recount! (or something....)

Freedom to do "whatever I want" is horribly overrated and cna ruin a game as much as too many restrictions. The game mechanics serve to enforce a specific atmosphere and gameplay. This come first and foremost. Greater player freedom within those constraints is a great goal, but total player freedom is secondary. Just because you think that the no-savescumming crowed loses nothing doesnt' make it so. Remember that. GAME DESIGN DOES NOT EXIST IN VACUUM. Repeat it after me. The people who loses there are: *The people who want the game to be designed upon a quest-basis with attrition system, not a 'encounter' basis only. *The people who are honest but knows that between "trying five times through reload to win the second end of the dungeon" and "go back to town, heal, rest, buy potions and wands before finishing the second half of the dungeon" they will almost always choose the earlier possibility, but knows that doing so will curtail their fun. So because people can't control the way they play their game, they have the right to dictate how I play mine? Seriously?

I seriously don't understand this debate... I don't get how allowing people to play a game how they want and getting the max fun out of it has got anything to do with ALLOWING save/reload. Just make the save/reload system a toggle in the options. Let those who want to save every 15 seconds do that and enjoy; let those who don't want the temptation disable it; and finally let US who want to play the game our way, and save when we goddam well please enable the option... Why should the no-savescamming-crowd get to diminish everybody else's experience of the game? Add difficulty -> no saving -> You get your game Normal dificulty -> saving -> I get my game Who loses here?

Oh yeah that is classic (and source for Zoma's comment) http://rpgcodex.net/...ghlight=#348044 Dat link don't work Ah needs teh source!

Tampere, Finland, Scandinavia, Northern Europe. Where the summers are cold, but seldom snowy And where the winters are cold, but wet And where the hell is my beer??

Personally I'm hoping they'll do something new. Vancian is perfectly fine and it would have been my answer, but the more I hear from the updates, the more hope I have that PE will be something refreshingly different.

First thought when reading the poll: DOGMEAT!! But then I read the comments,and I have to agree, it has sorta already "been done". But the Playerhouse watchDRAGON is getting my points!

I know I might get yelled at, but I've played all of IE games (me thinks) and never got that in to BG2. Don't know why IWD2 and F2 are my alltime favorites. Also played IWD, BG and F1 so many times, I lost count. Add to those VtMB and FalloutNV and this project has me over the moon

IMO, the wiki should contain information, not have entries about fan groups as cool as they are. Exactly! Add an entry for the OOoE when the creators reveal how we will be implemented in the game (not sooner!). And then (finally) all the people will now just how cool we really are!

I don't even dislike it on its face; I just think it's utterly pointless for a 2D iso game with zoomed out camera, a point OP desperately ignores because he can't answer why it makes sense to dump resources into a cosmetic system for, really, only the paper doll UI. I adore the cosmetic system in LotRO and it makes sense in an MMO. It wouldn't work here. Mod toolkit is all fine. Yes, the mod toolkit is the way to go. Put resources in modding support and let the community do the tweaking for all kinds of things.

I also have to say no on this. As many have already stated, you should not get a bonus for faction armor, while looking like something completely different. If the creators spend hours on designing the perfect aesthetics for their weapons/armor/apparel It should be seen by all. I always loved the legends behind items and the history of why it looks like it looks. On the other hand IF, and it is a BIG if, this threads suggestion could be implemented without noticeable cost to the budget, then why not. But only if, it doesn't come at the cost of actual game play mechanics, story, etc. IMO this is not worth the hole in the budget.

The cake is a.. what? EDIT: Damn... now I want cake

BG3? IWD3? Fallout 2D the third?? Oh my gee-golly-gosh yes!! I would rather take 'em Infinity style than not at all

Romances are good, when their not messing with the story, but adding a little extra enjoyment in to the game. Lets use the word distraction here, ok? Distracting from the day-to-day happenings and giving a reprieve in the middle of.. you know, saving the world (or destroying if that's more your cup'o joe).

Would I sacrifice VO for better and deeper dialogs? Ofc. Would I like to have the major plot lines etc. being voiced and the rest not? Hell Yes

I have to admit, that the thought of actually having a treasure room where you dump your "excess" gold, because you just cant carry 88 MILLION gold coins in your pockets is an intriguing thought.... But, finding the perfect super weapon in a store and not having enough money to buy it, just because you can't carry enough gold is... well, bad

28 Most loved? The Eye of the Beholder duology (yes duology! the third one was crap). Fallout 2,1,3,NV (in that order) Avernum And I also need to give a shout-out to Legend of Grimrock! Most hated? WoW The Diablos, especially the 3rd.... Just can't abide grinding games (kill dudes, get items, kill more dudes, get more items, argh...) Ugh! I have spoken!
