The industry works that way because people don't read the reviews, and just look at the scores.Scores are useless.
Take the content of the review and use it critically to apprise the product.
But that's not how the industry works. A 9/10 drive sales. I bet Bloodborne gets a good sales boost because of 9/10. Was it perfect? No framerate issues? No 40s loading respawn loading times?
Remove the scores and you'll see that the industry will change.

Enemies can have a variable number of "engagement slots".Problem is, it's happening when my character is not engaged. The mob is attacking my tank. Character is free to sail by, but instead decides to beeline the target and engage for apparently no reason, directly contradicting explicit orders. It's as if the AI, which is supposed to attack when idle and in combat, believes "moving" is being idle.
Hmm, queue system for movement sounds good. I know you can queue spells - will have to try that when I get home. Good idea.
Move your cursor over an enemy and you'll be able to see red lines going from him to your characters.
Those indicate the characters that are engaged.

The gog patch is only 81MB, not 600.

Question.
Would this GOG version include the previous hotfix?
-
Seriously? You complain about 600mb? Oo
That's hardly the size of a decent-quality episode of your favorite pirated show!
People that take internet for granted are amusing.
How did you deal with the 7 gigs steam download then?
I dunno, ask to people with monthly data caps or snail speeds.
The average global download speed in the last quarter of 2014 was 4mbps.
Try imagine how many people are there in the world with less than 1mbps to average at only 4.

Rendered means that they are 3D images, so you know.
To be more precise, render are high definition still frames of a 3D composition.

Skyrim engine with a party of 6 characters?
Nope.

Savegames from different characters get automatically grouped by character name.

I've seen a lot of activity from the devs lately.
I'll bump to try and get some more visibility.

3D movies often fail miserably because of the "uncanny valley" effect.
Do they? Final Fantasy is the only example I can think of.
I think all the Zemeckis ones got pretty bed reviews on that matter.
The Polar Express
Beowulf
A Christmas Carol
Mars Needs Moms

There were two main reasons.
A) Almost universal move to 3D graphics and publishers' demand of 3D for marketing purposes
B) Raising popularity of console gaming and publishers' unwillingness to market PC exclusives
That's pretty much it.
Indeed.
On the first point especially, don't forget that 2D animation in the movie industry got steamrolled for 3D animation too.
In the late 1900's / early 2000's, there was a decent amount of 2D animated movies coming out alongside 3D animated ones. (EDIT: Like late Disney Renaissance films beside Pixar ones, and Dreamworks having a mix of both styles.) By the late 2000's/early 2010's, 2D animation is pretty much gone and 3D animation reigns supreme.
Is it any wonder the game industry did the same?
Which is strange if you think about it.

And then Everquest/WoW style MMORPG rolled in and became super big as everyone and their grandmother were playing it.
I still remember buying Everquest and discovering only at home that it was an MMO.
I don't even remember if I even had a dial up at the time.
Never played it in the end.

That should be asked to GOG, Obsidian has no power, nor control over GOG release.

- Too much bloom
God, I hate bloom.
Oblivion had so much bloom that everything looked fuzzy.

"NWN graphics was a massive downgrade compared to previous IE games."
No.
Seriously?
The graphics were so rudimentary and the aesthetic so regular, geometric, rigid and sterile that everything felt dead boring or simply goofy and lame.

Eh. I think it has to do more with the complexity of the genre than the graphics. Anyhow, I personally prefer it if Pillars 2 switched over to 3D.
I'd prefer they stick to 2D.
- It's more pleasing to (my) eyes
- By the time they work on Pillars 2, this engine would (hopefully) be freed from most of its kinks.

But they could have made 3D fixed iso view CRPGs, like the ARPG genre continued with Sacred 2 / Torchlight series / Diablo 3 / Path of Exile.
I never understood why this never happened with CRPGs.
wow I never thought someone would mention the original PoE on these forums, Path of Exile is an amazing game however
I can't play with Path of Exile camera. Too restrictive.
And the small inventory is way more tedious than camping resources could ever be.

As long as I don't have a massive spyware client on my pc, I'm fine getting patches a bit late.
what are you up to that makes you so afraid of being spyed upon lol
Absolutely nothing.
That doesn't mean that I like to be spied upon.
Most of the spying I have no control over, but when I can, I steer clear.

It should be the 32bit SO problem.

For 32-Bit Machines
There are reports of reporting crashing when transitioning on 32-bit machines. We are aware of the issue and attempting to fix it. This issue did come up on Wasteland 2, which is another Unity project, and a workaround was discovered by their fans: here
You can change your system settings on your computer to increase RAM used by a single application. However, there are inherent risks involved when changing settings involving your operating system and any attempts to change your system settings will be at your own risk. Obsidian is not liable for any issues that might occur with those settings.

A character with 2 perception and 5 mechanics has the same chances, to spot hidden stuff, of a character with 18 perception and 5 mechanics.
