Official Keys Thread v 1.01
DaCostaBR replied to VladWorks's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The order was for the hero edition, but the digital pack includes soundtrack, etc. do you guys know where do I get the extras from? -
There's no way they'll make it to 3,5 million in 5 days. But if they advertise enough that people can keep donating on paypal after the kickstarter is over they might make it in another month or so.

Romances, yay or nay?
DaCostaBR replied to Gorth's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Hyperbole, but generally that's what you'd get out of the "romance", some NPC stroking your ego as a player. True, and they're simply badly done fanservice. Which is why we hope whatever Obsidian chooses do is something better than that.- 231 replies

Romances, yay or nay?
DaCostaBR replied to Gorth's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Well people that actively want it being the majority of fans of this project is just sad and weird to me. I suspect most don't care either way if you can get some NPC to shower your avatar with love or whatever. I doubt most of the people asking for romances just want to be showered with love. Personally I'd like to see them use their freedom to tackle romances with mature issues involved instead of just a path to a happy ending. For exemple if there was a love interest that would cheat on the pc, you could forgive or break up, but they would keep doing it; this way the only happy e- 231 replies

Seems to me like an oportunity to elevate the subject that shouldn't be squandered.- 231 replies

NPC Portraits
DaCostaBR replied to DaCostaBR's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
These portraits are very beautiful, but are not representative of what will be in the game, it's just an outside artist's work and the thread was about bringing him into the project. It would certainly be interesting to have it in the game, but I was talking about the case of small portraits if it's what they end up using. About their writing, I'm not doubting how good they will be, but sometimes in the older games (like Fallout) during regular conversations the world would freeze; you'd get that picture of your character standing in front of another and no one would move or do anything -
I really wish the portrait of the npc you were talking to appeared next to the dialogue, but more than that, I wish there were more than one portrait; different ones according to npc disposition: one sad, one happy, one angry, etc. The idea for this came from Fallout, I loved the talking heads on that game and getting that feeling of "****! The dude's pissed!" before he even said anything. On the other hand regular npcs didn't have much to differentiate themselves. Limited resources, i know, which is why I think static portraits might be an affordable alternative. Of course I don
