Welp! That looks like an octogenarian Fonzie!

This game is shaping up to be a true CRPG gem, it seems. Every update fuels our enthusiasm to new levels. I love the idle animations and the graphical quality of the whole game, the backgrounds, the lighting - it really is an improvement over PoE1, which in itself was quite good.

Well, now it's passed Steam's next update/release window, but I can wait. If something has been in development for two decades, a few days aren't exactly a problem. Interestingly, during a few minutes, the game was actually tagged as available: http://www.imageshack.us/i/pm8KyYYQp

Some Western RPG, like Boothill, or why not Bushido?

Another forum which I've frequented a bit in the past has a pretty neat little chat message window on their front page, called Shout It Out, where peeps leave short messages and such. Although, sometimes often nonsense, whenever something new has happened to the game, it'll surely be discussed there. Here, have a looksie: https://www.coh2.org/

Yeah, Uplay and Origin aren't stellar examples of improvement. Rather, it's something that we usually shun with a vengeance. What I really would like to see is all of the Obsid devs post on all those other sites getting easily readible/accessible here for those so inclined.

Hmm, assuming that you really wish for him to be closer to you, and assuming he's susceptible to any such attempt... 1) Give him a "hobby gift" that you know a lot about and/or are into yourself - that way you get to bond a bit more. Sneaky. 2) Give him some social event gift, and include yourself, and try to get him to see more sense. A more direct approach (runs the risk of getting confrontational). However, if he's something of a hopeless case of a workaholic, and almost immune to any warming-up attempts at that: 3) Get a gift that's as far away from his line of work as possible, and that's also not at all like passive TV-watching. Perhaps an old hobby he gave up when he was younger. 4). A tie.

Some gothic vampire saga in a late 1800s or early 1900s setting would be nice, think la Belle Epoque.

Hi y'all! I just had to share this one with you guys, as it may actually give you hope if something similar would happen to you, like, say, a loo incident... My daughter told us that she couldn't find her iPhone SE anywhere. Well, at first we looked for it half-heartedly, since she usually manages to misplace it in her room or in among her dirty laundry. However, hours turned into days, and she still couldn't find it or phone it. Three days later, and we did turn the house upside down, since she hadn't left our house or our backyard during the time in question, and still no sign of that cell. In a last ditch attempt, we began to scour our pretty extensive yard for it, trying to follow in her footsteps and so on. Eventually, it was my daughter who found it. She was about to clean the rabbit cage, at least the pen outside, and when she emptied a food bowl full of rain water and pellets gruel, the poor cell dropped onto the grass with the goo. It had been raining cats and dogs for two days straight, so the food bowl was up to the rim in that stuff. It must have fallen out of her pocket when she did bend over to pick up her rabbit in the evening to bring it inside. She was obviously distraught over her destroyed iPhone, so I started to resuscitate it in my own crazy desperate way. I brought out the vacuum cleaner, and straight up just sucked that cell hard. Every little orifice got a good 15 minutes of suction. I even opened that SIM-card slot, and sucked there too. After each suction session, I used the warm rushing air from the filter vent as a hair dryer, and gave each orifice and each side, a good hot blow job (that didn't come out right, did it?) for like 5-10 minutes. Finally, I put the iPhone on our lukewarm towel warmer for two days straight. Well, after trying to wake it up two days later, it was dead, and putting the cord in for some recharging didn't work either. But then, four days onwards, a new try with that cord, and the darn thing flickered back to life again! And when my daughter started it, almost everything worked except the one touch function. Absolutely amazing! And the weirdest thing of all, the last function that intrepid iPhone performed during its last dying seconds drowning in that bowl of water was taking a shot of the canopies and the dark skies above, and oddly enough, a barely visible phantom image of them remains forever on the screen as an eerie reminder of its fate. I'm just stunned by this. How resilient our those iPhones?

I was a backer during the successful Pathfinder CRPG campaign, and I had backed one or two more games during its duration, but then, almost like a got cold feet, I retracted them all. Call it retrospective wisdom or whatever, but most of the KS games, items and projects I've backed (most of them a few years ago) turned out to be pretty disastrous or even worse, they weren't delivered or more or less scams, so I gave it all a ponder-over, and then I decided to just skip it. I'm very happy Owlcat did so well, and I will definitely buy the game when it comes out (but I'll still get it cheaper than during the KS) via GMG, for instance, in over a year from now, so why pre-order something which I'm not even sure will come into fruition. Yeah, I'm prolly the last person to come to this realization, but better late than never, huh? P.S. I backed Obsdian hard on Fig, partly because I'm a fan of their work, and partly because they did create a very neat game with PoE1 - one of the few Kickstarter projects that delivered and then kept updating their game, making it even better.

It resembles a pawn, why shouldn't it slide? Alright, let me put it this way. I don't want it to be some kind of chess piece, I'd love to see it a bit more animated when it traverses any landmass.

Indeed. In the ideal world, you could name your new game Scrolls or Pillars or whatever with guaranteed impunity and thus no worries about any legal eagles.

Hehe, yeah! I mean, I still recall how Bethesda grabbed the throat of the Mojang studio, when they tried to launch Scrolls after their Minecraft success story, just because that name was too similar to Elder Scrolls, so imagine the wrath over at Obsidian: Pillars of History - Pillars of Eternity.

I just stumbled upon this over at Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/288710427/pillars-of-history/comments They are even making a game similar to Obsidian's Pathfinder adventures. I'm sure that the guys at Obsidian are open-minded about stuff like this, but had it been Bethesda, this would get a cease and desist letter in no time.

Am I the only one bothered by that land party piece not walking, but sliding as if on wheels or ice? Also, I'd like it to move slower, indicating that passing through jungles and terrain on foot is a lot more sluggish than going by a sailing vessel.

No, it's like 14 dollars or something in your currency across the pond. However, while that gets you the Necromancer and two stash tabs and a few cosmetic items, you do have a big patch for free with new big zones in Act II IIRC (and one in Act IV, hmm, must check...), plus a number of useful stuff and challenge rifts.

Yay! For of all us with a recurrent D3 itch to scratch; the Rise of the Necromancer pack is out, with new stash tabs and wings galore! I've been playing a number of hours now, and I must say that the Necromancer is a treat. I'm building an undead summoner, and nothing beats swarming crypts and foul beasts with your own army of skeletons, ghost mages, golems and wearing a bloody bone armour. My character in a mass grave, so fitting... It had to be a ghost skellie dog pet too. No other class fits the mood in Diablo better than these priests of balance. The body count gets immense early on already, and the cool lines spoken by that neat voice actor: Do not fear the end! Looking sinister, but stalwart at the same time. Love it! His first Legendary weapon... And like 20 minutes later, what the...? Always lucky. At least, these weapons summon a ghost as well. More undead, mooooorrree!

Yeah, even on a 22" screen, the UI is slightly too large, and the lack of brightness adjustment is lamentable. I haven't the best eye sight, so the huge font doesn't bother me, but when cards are in their smaller form, as it were, down at the bottom, before I click and enlarge, I just can't read the text at all.

Thx for all those tips, deny_conformity! I'll get started then. Just picking my own little RPG party in a card game sounds like blast. But first I'll check out that Paizo link. Ta, Fade2Gray! A final question remains. What should I do with my gold? Buy a few well chosen cards for certain decks? (Some die skins do look neat)

Hi y'all! Well, what the title says: Should I start playing the campaign and keep the gold coming? Atm, I have like 5,600 gold coins and like 1,300 cards out of 3,800. Or do I save the coins for new adventures (at 6,000 gc a piece)? Should I bust open packs? Which order is optimal for someone that wants to see new content and new cards revealed? Cheers, Indira

Once again, thx for everything, Fluffle! I submitted my entry via the email you'd sent out. Thus, I skipped the gmail-adress you listed in your how-to-post, as you later mentioned that gmail had been a mess. I really hope that's all fine and dandy.

"Generic" hasn't to be bad. I would like to play a good adventure for a change and the trolls already look charming over-the-top. Writing looks also good and the "sitting on the throne" - part seems to be fun. So thumps up, that the Kickstarter will be a success. But I have still a question: aren't there Aliens in Pathfinder? It would be fun, if we could plunder a spaceship, just for the pulpy weirdness-factor . Yeah, for some reason I have a weak spot for Spock-moments in RPGs. I liked the Spelljammer setting, and thought the alien aspects of certain Might & Magic iterations to be quite amusing, so I actually hope for some Pigs in Space shenanigans.

I mean, what's there not to love here: -kingdom making -rules that I already adore -Still, to me, an entirely new setting. IIRC, I got a tip about Pathfinder (thx Kaine Parker) on these very forums just a few years ago, and now it becomes a CRPG. Sweet deal. -And that scope. Core game 40h, plus side quests 80h, and then your kingdom, and all the replayability. -This and PoE2 will keep me entertained for years.

I couldn't agree more. This sounds like a fantastic game concept to me. Weird, though. Just a couple of months back, Obsidian had us fill in this extensive survey, with plenty of questions like "How do you feel about our making a party-based Pathfinder CRPG?"... What was all that about, then? Actually, I'm hoping that Obsidian will be making their own Pathfinder CRPG in the not so far future. *Fingers crossed*

I really liked space walking in Prey, so here are a few screenies from my first walk (nothing spoiled, really), but I can tell you this much. It's not as tranquil out there as it looks... This one, I love. You see the Moon, our Earth anno 2032, and the Sun
