    Where is everyone from

    in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)

    Posted

    I'm from Malaysia, a small country down South of Asia and a former colony of the British. Therefore, English is an important language here which allows us to enjoy great video games. ;) Video game is no stranger here, I grew up playing DOS games like Xenon 2 and Pre Historic 2 although they used to be expensive due to the fact that they had to be imported from the opposite site of the globe. But thanks to Steam and other online digital distribution, video game access has never been easier, and Steam sales have contributed a lot in encouraging gamer here to avoid piracy and go legit.

     

    Woo fellow Malaysian! :dancing:

    Could you guys tell me something about where your language originates from?

    I know some turkish and somehow I am able to understand about 5% of your written language...

    Could you please tell me where did you get the music for the site? I mean, is it official game soundtrack yet or something? Or did one of you just add it?

    You have to ask Alper. He made the site.

    Well young brethren, I heard my name.

    The answer lies in the holy crypts of

    http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/?feels=Epic

    So it's basically music without specific copyright.

    I think there has been a misunderstanding. As his/her profile picture shows the Big Lebowski, I thought of the "opinion" thing to be a suitable quote from the movie. Loved the witcher, love GOG and Poland btw ;-)

     

    @Arch-Mage Troy and Abed in the moooorning!

    Ah, OK then :) Had no idea since I haven't seen the movie, as you can probably tell. Sorry for making you explain otherwise nice reference to some ignorant, it always spoils the fun (at least for me, when I'm in your shoes) ;).

    No hard feelings - But to make it up you could give the movie a try ;)

    So.. without IE games there would be no Witcher series or GOG.com.

     

    That's just like, your opinion, man.

    Not exactly. I'm not sure about GOG, but guys who started CDProjekt said that after experience with publishing games they wanted the studio to move on and make their own games. At first they wanted to do a PC port of Baldur's Gate: Alliance, and when it didn't work out they started the work on a Witcher, who in the first approach was supposed to be a NWN mod. So, in a way, without IE games and Black Isle/Bioware, there wouldn't be a Witcher series.

     

    BTW, also Poland here, but southern regions, near neighborhood of Kraków.

    Warsaw, Poland

     

    Fun fact: CD Brojekt was a small publisher by the time Infinity Engine games came out. Their first big hits was translating Baldur's Gate 1/2, Icewind Dale 1/2, Planescape:Torment to polish (and doing it perfectly, instead of a hack-job we usually get). It was such a big hit that they decided to go into developing RPGs themselves.

    The Obsidian Order takes initiative

    I would do it myself but I am a cartographer not artist. So if any fan artists on here willing to do artwork for other fans here in order for them to increase their pledges and willing to link previous work they done so people at least have an idea what to expect then this idea could work.

    Woooow! A real cartographer you say? What do you charge and what would you for the merit of PE? (Not that I do need a map in particular, but I have always been fascinated by the art)

     

    Edit: I see that it was a stupid question now. What would you charge for a cloth map (medieval / fantasy style) of a quarter of a contemporary town by the size of 30x30cm?

    This is a cool idea. I'd be willing to pitch in--I need to work on my art some anyway. I'm not a GREAT artist (I'm CERTAIN others are better), but I can at least help get started.

     

    I could do custom forum avatars for people--lots of folks on this forum have blank avatars. I could stick a little "obsidian order" logo in the corner, too.

     

    The question becomes should we have tiers of level or size of artwork relating to pledge increase?

     

    Avatars $5, banners $8 and $10 or $15 for bigger size?

     

    If we make it official, we should have some kind of tiers. But until now, I'd say that anyone who provides services should chose for themselves. Just my 2 cents, anyway.

    Hmm. Perhaps one should demand screenshots after the funding ends? I mean I am not too sure either, but I'll gladly help Obsidian or the Order in every way I can.

     

    Edit: You might be right - I'm not very talented in concerns of design for that matter. I don't really expect lots of people visting Turkey any time soon, either. But if Americans, Europeans, and different people from all over the world joined the cause, we might have the chance of actually getting those few extra bucks.

    Hey fellow members of the Order,

     

    I think it's about time to take the initiative.

    For every before-and-after screenshot of an Order member's pledge raised another $8 I am willing to give you a 4-5 hour tour of Istanbul or assist you with a translation between english-german.

     

    It would be cool, if others joined and provided their services for the merit of our beloved game.

     

    What do you say?

     

    Edit: On popular request I agreed to grant my services to anyone who thinks has a rightful claim upon them. (No questions asked!) If in any case, YOU think you could have some special talent, please let us know.

    The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU!

    Hey guys, I made a fun site - what do you think?

    (I'm sorry but I simply don't have the time to maintain a professional ad-free "guild" site with tube, forums, galleries etc.)

     

    http://bit.ly/QIyIYD

     

    If someone is able to provide a full list of all our members I'll gladly update the info on that site.

    Awesome! The members list can be found on the 1st page of this thread. :)

    Great then. I'll use your list as the official source :yes:
