DPI Scaling for PE, much more important than resolution
The only "future-proof" games I know are community-developed ones. And they're more adapting to new computers by constant modifications than really thought future-proof form the start. I hope Obsidian will release a game optimized for 2014 computers, not for 2032 ones. If high DPI monitors are really the standard in 2014, obviously P:E will be optimized for this kind of monitors.

May be a silly question, but... I thought old-school PC gamers essentially have old-school computers ? I don't think Obsidian should take care of whatever the gaming community will be in ten years. If anyone in 2032 want to play P:E on his Ultra-High DPI Device™, it's up to him to develop a mod permitting this. Or to redraw the backgrounds. Or to buy another monitor.

The problematic things with the Infinity Engine games
You can easily find RTS games with a very good pathfinding (remember Dark Reign 2?), why should it be impossible in RPGs ?

Would you like to see a "arena" in PE?
Hey, it's unfair The boxing match in Fallout2 support great experience to me! I promise I'll play through Fallout 1 & 2 before P:E comes to my mailbox !

If you wanted another class...
Necromancer could be a wizard kit, shaman and shapeshifter druid ones. Black Night could be a specific way to play an evil priest. Anyway, technomancer is a great idea !

Would you like to see a "arena" in PE?
Where is the "No!" in the poll ? I'm OK for some kind of Modrone Cube, but no arena please... They usually add nothing to the game experience (my opinion, not everyone's).

descriptive text VS spoken text
I'd like a lot of descriptive text... Please use our imagination !

Subclasses, Barbarians, Paladins and backgrounds
Is really a Paladin anything more than a Priest of a benevolent deity who dedicated himself to fight Evil ? We already have Priests, Paladins would be redundant imho...

Boxed Version - DRM Free?
OK, but RicoSuave was talking about the boxed version itself. I'd like to know too ! I've no Steam/GoG account, and I'm not planning to create one in the next decade...
- Would you like the boxed versions of P:E to be cardboard or plastic?

Update #12: Reddit Q&A with Tim Cain
I love turn-based system in strategy games... But I think in RPGs it's nothing more than an heritage from their P&P ancestors, and has no sense for a non-P&P-based game. That's clearly not turn-based fights that make Fallout great, and Arcanum does not become dull when you turn its fights real-time !

T-shirt size?
Bonus item or not, I don't really see any interest in a T-shirt I can't wear... What I want is my friends asking me where it is from, and maybe convince them to try the game. How could this be if I can't wear it ?

[merged] Vancian Magic System and cooldowns
I really like the vancian system (even if I didn't know this word before today), and I think a mana pool should be avoided if we want to keep the magic highly tactical. An alternative I'm thinking of is having some kind of object(s) needed for every casting of every spell (which will be consumed by the use), like for exemple you need a handful of fireberries for a fireball... Anyway, I'd like every spell casting to be a meaningful choice. Please don't make spellcasters some kind of furious killing machine with inifinite power like in most hack'n'slash !

Fishing
Yeah, sure : fishing, mining, gardening, baby-sitting... I do play RPGs for epicness, not for boredom. I don't want P:E to become the reunion of The Sims & Minecraft ! And, most of all : I HATE minigames in RPGs !

Screen shaking when critical striking please!
I've nothing against screen shaking... as long as I can turn it off !
