I've got it! Dusk Elves! They will be the mortal enemy of the Afternoon Elves.

I don't know what other races to expect. Truth to be told I'm more than a little surprised that there'll be dwarves and elves... again. What can change the nature of a fantasy RPG setting?

One of the most enjoyable things I ever did was solo BG 1 and 2 as a wizard. It was so entertaining I did it twice. In my opinion that says a lot about what system is the best because my opinion always coincides with the truth. Edit: Sorcerers have the most boring casting mechanics; I can't stand them.

The more the merrier as long as the quality is there. If they're even half-way decent more optional and, to some degree, mutually exclusive quests do nothing but increase replay value.

I'd be happy with BG 1/2 style inventories with a carry capacity stat to deal with bulky/heavy items. Abstraction is fine.

You've got to be joking. You aren't experiencing any trolling in this thread, even though strictly speaking you deserve severe mocking. Fortunately for you the forum rules prevent me from telling you exactly why your thread is pointless in the manner I am accustomed to. Frankly it seems like you are the one who is trolling.

AF/UU are a completely different genre of RPG for which different mechanics are more appropriate. I feel that an IE game ought to focus on different mechanics than the semi-open world Ultima 6/7 or the first-person dungeon crawlers UU and Arx Fatalis. Unless this game came with a dedicated food system there is really no reason to bother with all the additional time this would require. There'd need to be a fishing skill, various fishing outcomes, a system to cook or process the fish and so on and so on. And what for? People would still just buy food at the next inn. I know I walked around with a giant bag of jerky in Ultima 7 because it was the cheapest even though in theory I could have baked bread for free.

This is a fine idea for games like Ultima Underworld, Arx Fatalis or Ultima but I just don't see this having a place in an IE-like game.

I'd like Climbing as a skill to be used during certain quests or at specific hot-spots. Maybe your Rogue can use the Thieves' Highway in a city or you can climb upon a rock to see what enemies lie up ahead, or to roll a boulder on them if you are strong enough. I am not talking about physics objects here. I am talking about hotspots you can click and then you get a dialogue-like text-adventure interface, sort of like interacting with objects in PS:T.

There's no reason not to include this.

NPCs shouldn't automatically divine your class. That said I do believe in additional, exclusive content for thieves and wizards because that was never bad in QfG or PS:T. Think Wizard School or Mebbeth's magic training or a thieves guild. It shouldn't be tied to the class as much as the ability to steal / use magic, but it's not a huge deal.

No. Next!

No thanks.

I find this unnecessary. IE games aren't Fallout/Arcanum.
-
There are people that didn't turn this off? I pity you. Edit: Maybe as an option if some intern can copy&paste the Baldur's Gate screen shaking code in five minutes while he is making coffee with his other hand.

Jasede replied to Industrial Scribe's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Something like RoA or Darklands or Daggerfall. In a pinch, something like NWN 2 is vaguely acceptable. Just none of this streamlined modern garbage that chokes me in tutorials and helpful hints. I can read the manual, thank you.

Jasede replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Mods are always terrible. I'll pass.

Yes, in that "generic" sort of epic way that you now have to endure every single movie trailer. You know, the generic blaring trumpets and that "heroic" violin. Loathsome.
