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 Deviceā¢, it's up to him to develop a mod permitting this. Or to redraw the backgrounds. Or to buy another monitor.

DRM is evil. Steam is DRM. Steam is Evil! I pledged for P:E because : it's GNU/Linux compatible ; there's a boxed version ; there's a DRM-free version.

pack animals or beasts of burden
vv221 replied to Michael_Galt's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
You can't really vote "No." in that poll, 2nd and 3rd options assuming you voted "Yes.". So I won't vote... The loot craziness is something I've never liked in RPGs.- 58 replies

If you wanted another class...
vv221 replied to Gecimen's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
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 ! -
descriptive text VS spoken text

I'd like a lot of descriptive text... Please use our imagination ! -
Rest, injuries and recuperation
vv221 replied to Nonek's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
My two cents : It's not because you're able to exploit a mechanic that you have to ! I never spam rest in any of the IE games. People doing it are only spoiling their own game experience, not mine. -
Boxed Version - DRM Free?
vv221 replied to RicoSuave's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
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... -
Update #12: Reddit Q&A with Tim Cain
vv221 replied to The Guildmaster's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
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 !- 85 replies

Finish it again, then. =p With a Malkavian !

That's why I never reload ! I'm this kind of guy who will turn on the "Trial of Iron" mode from the first playthrough, and never turn it off... That's probably the reason I like the vancian system...

T-shirt size?
vv221 replied to Loranc's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
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 ? -
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
vv221 replied to Stuttery G's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
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 !
