This was touted from day one. I don't know what you were expecting. -

Update #70: New Year Project Update
coffeetable replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
With the character screen, the records column doesn't seem to be near as important as the rest of the information displayed. Something like a minimal inventory screen would make better use of the space, so you could instantly see how different loadouts affected your stats.- 491 replies

The BG2 postmortem quotes the original BG at 90 man-years of labour. The Double Fine documentary pegged a developer-year at ~$150k. So BG would cost - before factoring in modern development efficiencies like "not making your own engine" and "actual bug tracking" - $13.5 million in today's money. I've never seen any figures for BG2, but considering the scope of the two games and the fact that environment art is the bottleneck, I'd be surprised if it were that much cheaper.

Please, no more Cromwell's forges
coffeetable replied to Cultist's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
A modern desktop CPU is about a thousand times more powerful than a CPU from 2000. Pathfinding shouldn't be a problem. -
Attribute theory
coffeetable replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
That actually sounds like a great idea. It buffs up Strength a bit (and you can tune the degree to which Strength mitigates encumbrance, so it can be easily balanced), which otherwise seems a bit lacking, and it makes Strength especially relevant to heavy-armour builds, which feels very natural. Who mentioned anything about items having weight, eh?- 483 replies

Attribute theory
coffeetable replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I've got a bad record with predictions recently, but I'd be surprised if this were the case because it generates serious frustration if you fall 1 point short of a cool item. What I'd be less surprised about is items that are always usable, but suffer some penalty if you fall short on a certain stat. Take STR in Fallout: New Vegas, for example: you can use any weapon while having any amount of strength, but if you have less than the minimum STR specified, you'll suffer accuracy penalties.- 483 replies

Would the mods consider making a forum for people to chat about their character & item ideas? More importantly, so they can see the distribution of items & NPCs already suggested, allowing them to distinguish their own. By the way, is there a tradeoff for suggesting a very powerful item over a reasonable one? Will people be much less likely to see it?

We've seen artwork for: Eder: rogue Feathered chick: paladin (by the look of her at least?) Cadegund: priest Forton: monk Sagani: ranger Aloth: wizard (by the looks of him) Orlan dude: cipher Green chick: druid (again, by the looks of her) which means that - if these are, in fact, are all companions - chanter/barbarian/fighter are without companions.

Did you see this bit? I'd agree except this is a spiritual successor to the IE games. One of the defining qualities of those games was their massive scope, and if PE falls short in that department it'll cause a lot of disappointment. (which is rightly why the dev team is so nervous about it)

Also, I couldn't care less about wilderness areas. They suffer from a very low content : effort ratio. More companions though I'd love to see.

Would the stretch goals be content brought forward from the expansion pack(s), or stuff we wouldn't see at all otherwise?

for PE to mirror star citizen's funding model, they'd have to start selling in-game items for real money. -
