I like that you played Trails in the Sky, love that game! -
Part size
AlphaShard replied to ravencrest1985's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
It really did bother me at first, but I can live with it so long as the game is balanced for it and it does seem that way. I know Josh loves to buck tradition anywhere he can. -
There are games that have done this Dragon Quest IV, Star Ocean, and Final Fantasy 9. What you would do was have your combat party as you are traveling to various locations, then when in town you'd have options to RP with the various characters. In DQ4 in particular you had a wagon going, the combat party was outside the wagon while the rest sat inside. In that way they could theoretically interact with each other. Also Suikoden Series had many characters that were Roleplay only and not used for combat at all. That all being said I do find it interesting for unique player experiences like those that completely missed Aloth and Eder, I don't know how such things came to pass but they did and that is interesting.

Durance's Fate?
AlphaShard replied to Sloane's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I'm looking forward to not having to depend on Durance as a healer for Deadfire. -
The scavenger hunt page said everything was in the online game media. So no codes will be in anything physical that we can't see online. I think looking through the tweets for highlights of what to look at may be a good idea which I think most have done already.

I guess we need to think of where we haven't looked yet?

Baby on Board
AlphaShard replied to ThatUndeadLegacy's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I don't know about the rest of you but I was great ful that Berath gave me an excuse to murder the entire blood sands sect, so after I poisoned Simoc I doubt Velas life was in immeadiate danger any more. In fact I feel that leaving her there to eventually take her right place as future leader for the five tribes was the right thing to do. Besides I got this feeling you take that baby anywhere near Thaos and bad things will happen. -
I am very excited for the stretch goals we did make! I can't wait to build my fleet and customize it. Hopefully this leads to a titanic ocean battle with Eothas!

Wailing Banshee repairs

When does Niah finally finish the repairs to her Inn? I've been wanting to stay there. -
The 8 Companions
AlphaShard replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
So reading a review at Kotaku I see this: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--7Dll0FVW--/kituc7s1on9jxktarekz.jpg Don't know if the red head in the party is supposed to be Cadegund or a custom character. -
The 8 Companions
AlphaShard replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
That's exactly what I was planning on doing. Her and Orlan too, I mean really a "halfling psychic detective" what's not to love about that? Maybe I was projecting what I wanted too much into those two, so I think I'll be fine making my own Cadegund and Orlan. I do realize this happens a lot in game development, that things change a lot from the concepts and pitches to more finalized products. I just felt an instant liking to those two characters when I shouldn't have been getting so invested so early in the development process. -
The 8 Companions
AlphaShard replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
So I just found out there is no Cadegund, I was really looking forward to that character, why did they drop her? -
Kickstart Backer Badge
AlphaShard replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Never mind, sorry. -
To quote myself from this thread: That's a fair point and I agree with you. But I would say there is a difference between something that's iconic and something that's cliche, if that makes any sense. Elves, Dwarves, dragons ect. I would say are fantasy icons, not fantasy cliches. A cliche version would be magicky effeminate elves, drunk bearded dwarves and gold hoarding evil dragons. Not that theirs anything wrong with these cliches (who doesn't love tolkein?) but a more original take on this would be say, tough, barbarian, magick hating elves, magical, beardless, dwarves, and kind giving dragons which sounds pretty dumb to be fair, but it would be an original take on some fantasy icons as opposed to the cliche, which again is fine too, I'm just saying. The east (Asian) Dragons were kind and benevolent creatures that would often help people. So the concept isn't dumb or unheard of. Besides we did have a silver dragon in BG2. So I would like to see more kind Dragons.
