I'd like to know this as well.

You asked if someone could ask on Owlcat's forums, and he gave you the Pathfinder rules about carrying capacity. There is not anything obnoxious about that. Are there issues with the way Pathfinder handles capacity? Yes. Say you have a Wizard with 8 Strength, your capacity is going to be pretty low. However, if you happen to be carrying around 5k gold, you're going to be over if not close to that capacity. Woe be the pack rat in your group... Of course, they could go the PoE route and give you a stash that you can access, but it would be better if they gave you a caravan/wagon to hold it all. I asked about completion timers, not about encumbrance. ”Could someone ask on official owlcat forums about this? There's weight system that makes characters move slowly...” Either the second thing is completely ****ing random or it is the thing you want someone to ask about. The second thing is encumbrance. You’re welcome. I think what is being asked is "can someone confirm with the developers that there are timers, as the system of encumbrance causing characters to move at variable speeds may make it problematic to complete quests with timers given that encumbrance might be different for different members of the party". At least that's how I read it, Melusina can correct it if I'm wrong. As an aside, I'm with gfted1 on this, I'm not keen on timers. Particularly not the "go to that place and do that thing in 10 minutes or else the world will collapse. Oh and I don't know where that place is or what it is you have to do. You have 9:30 now, might want to get hurrying" type timer. Yeah. The few quests on timer in Deadfire certainly wasn't fun. The quests themselves were absolutely fine, but if I hadn't happened to read that two of them had a timer on them, I would have missed them, since I was exploring every nook and cranny, and doing stuff pretty erratically.

To be fair he also said that Feargus is constantly teabagging publishers and then high-fiving his friends while twirling his mustache at board meetings where they decide to keep all the money and not pay the staff.

Hopefully, this means that I'll never experience Maia's letter spam in my next playthrough, nor a broken party member respeccing service. A big thumbs up for that!

2K finally removed the ad-spyware Red Shell from Civ6! Now, I get to play it without commercial Stasi breathing down my neck. *Phew!*

Oopsie! Unless this thread is needed in some computer game fandom spreading into our other media habits, please smack this into the existing thread, please.

Since the literature thread was closed back in May, I figured I might as well as start a new one, and I do that with a confession: For the first time in my life, a computer game series has made me buy books and comic books! Not only are they very good, but I just can't enough of this world and all its lore and characters. Which world am I talking about? The Empire of the Isles and the hints from the Pandyssian Continent. In short, the world of Arkane's Dishonored. Here are a few of the works I've been enjoying this summer: I'm such a fan, so I'm digesting it all, solemnly. Have this ever happened to you guys? A computer franchise leeching into your literary leisure?

Protip: In D2, as opposed to D1 (at least back in the good? old days), you can check if somebody's been killed by your character at any point in time during any act playthrough by entering the option menu and check "Stats". Do that often, and then you don't have to get nasty surprises like this.

Yeah, there are thousands of ways of doing that in D2.

I think he'll take a long hiatus, stay at Obsidian, and then try his hand at some spectacular new game.

I've watched a few beta play vids as of late, and the game looks interesting enough, and D&D 3.75? Count me in.

I couldn't be happier. France winning and Belgium third. The dream!!!!!!!!!!!

My summary: -Deadfire is a great CRPG. It's not among my top five, but most likely top 10. -I really like the setting and the lore and all the cultures, languages, etc. -Oddly enough, though, I'm not a great fan of factions. I didn't like them in F:NV, and I don' like them here. It's not Skyrim-bad, but it's too close for comfort. -I still don't enjoy the CRPG system, and by that I mean the combat system in particular. It's been changing constantly, not really evolving either, and it never really sits well with me. The names of spells and some features are very cool, but a lot of stuff is annoying or even worse. -It's pretty cool that you can play the entire game using custom AI scripts. I did it on PotD. After lots of playing during the beta with no AI scripts, I still feel that the system is too far integrated and streamlined for that kind of play in mind. Deadfire sorta plays itself. It feels too much like a computer RPG system, while I'm so tainted by decades of pen-n'-paper RPGs and miniature games that I get more warm and fuzzy when CRPGs lean heavily in that direction (it may be real turn-based or RTwP, I don't really care). -I feel that the RPG bit in CRPGs needs to be made much more advanced in future CRPGs. Choices need to matter more, and your character needs to be more personally involved in the mechanics, and with the rest of your party, all this in order to find that sweet immersion I crave.

I love you!

F:NV crushing the competition, it seems. Lots of peeps seem to have missed out on BG2, at least the EE version (imagine the numbers, if the old BG1+2 were counted).

Heh, you'll never know, after rebalancing, patches, DLCs, and sweet time, and you'll almost have a new game, like it was for me with PoE1 + WM1+2. @All. The first playthrough is always almost the one you put your real RP effort into, and for many the only one, so I was just curious, that's all. Peace!

I'm curious: How long was your first playthrough? I'm pretty much a completionist when doing a first run in a CRPG, so I took my time (despite extensive meta know-how from the beta). My playthrough landed on 91h, if I discount 2h I had to replay in two instances because of bugs.

Me too. Since PoE doesn't offer any multiplayer, I'd say that the numbers are pretty impressive. For Deadfire, having sold a quarter of Million copies this early, is pretty decent, before any real sales or anything. And there was the successful Fig kickstarter as well, which works a bit like a huge preorder-fest. Fingers crossed. P.S. I'd love to see spin-off games as well.

I wonder how many GoG vs Steam buyers there are as far as Deadfire goes. I wouldn't be surprised if there are loads of GoG platformers, as it were.

That injured crew HUD will certainly be a great relief. My injured crew members were almost beyond my control: sometimes, they healed up, other times not at all.

I really hope you're right. I'll prolly hold up playing until we get those dungeons, and hopefully, some Berath's curses and difficulty challenges/achievements. By that time, the game should be pretty much bug free and pretty decently balanced as well.

Yeah, it was a very good dungeon - my #2 favourite. However, the best one for me was:

I did this too, and I didn't realize what it was, even. I deserved to get keelhauled.

Wow, figurines got hit by the nerf hammer and very hard too. Im PoE1, and now in Deadfire, I always used a few figurines on PoTD difficulty just to have some meatshields, but now they are worth like three summoning scrolls each. Ouch!

Bought Borderlands 2 GOTY for not even 9 Euro, and from the hours I've put into it so far, I'm in for an absolute treat, it seems. I've never played BL1 or 2. Now, this is value for money!
