playing "evil"
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Michael_Galt's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I want to play a character like Batman from All-Star Batman. I would like to go around assaulting guards, kidnapping and indoctrinating children, blackmailing heroes, and cackling with maniacal glee at the prospect of beating someone into a pulp.

Are there going to be achievements in PoE? Should there?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to anameforobsidian's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I don't care. I'm going to play PoE because I like the game, not because I want teh shinyz.

Return of the Living Dead. Is it just me, or does every 80's movie flash boobs at really weird time?

Today I bundled up because it got very cold. I wish summer would get here so I can enjoy humid 100F/37C+ weather.

Don't go too epic - save something for the sequels
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)PoE should concentrate on being the best game PoE can be, not on how to set up direct sequels. Have expansion packs that add considerable amounts of content to the game and let the PoE PC's story wrap up there.

They should try something like Rifts, so I can shoot down vampires with a plasma rifle. Preferably have some Heroes Unlimited influence as well.- The Weak & Unimagined Undead in Modern RPGs
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Luridis's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Rapist trees or GTFO.- What you did today
On the other hand, being a dentist is one of the most disgusting jobs I can imagine with that level of education. (Also, materials don't come cheaply.) I advise anyone who thinks that to try their hand in a couple of criminal and child custody cases and the coming back here to tell me that.* *I'm not advising practicing without a license I would say gynecologist is worse. Having to examine one who is obese and doesn't clean properly is quote disgusting. Granted, my knowledge is second-hand experience from being related to someone in that distinguished profession.- Don't go too epic - save something for the sequels
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I really liked being able to play through BG 1&2 with the same PC. If using the BGT mod, I'm fine with it. However importing from vanilla BG to vanilla BG2 leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Weapon proficiency has changed from a group of weapons to a single weapon, Mastery has been nerfed quite a bit, and the inclusion of kits that were not available in the original makes me feel that I'm not so much as importing a character as creating a new one. I don't see the point in importing a previous character if the mechanics change enough to warrant going through character creation again. IMO, it is better to tie up the PC's story using MotB-like expansions than doing a sequel.- Don't go too epic - save something for the sequels
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think the sequel should feature a new PC. The expansion(s) should cover high-level gameplay.- What you did today
I was shooting for more ancedotal. Today i'm doing a little bit of work, then going to go jogging.- How Is Chris Avellone able to do all this?
Chris Avellone is a conduit for an extra-dimensional energy source known as the Speed Force.- point buy or roll for stats?
I could tune encounters to make it easier, but quite a bit of encounters I create rely on traps and environmental factors as well. Also, I don't like toning down things myself. Another reason I like pointbuy is that you don't end up with characters that have huge power gaps between them. For example, in the first D&D game I played, I rolled a Paladin with 16 Str 12 Dex 15 Con 10 Int 15 Wis 17 Charisma while my friend rolled a Rogue with 8 Str 16 Dex 10 Con 10 Int 8 Wis 7 Cha. In almost all combat scenarios, he would be killed quickly due to having **** stats while I would end up shining quite a bit. YMMV, but I personally don't like playing games where one player has a superior character simply because he got lucky rolling 4 dice 6 times. As for gaming the system, that will be true of almost any system. I find the best way to avoid that is to play with people who don't like gaming the system. GURPS has always been a pointbuy. Granted, those points are the resource for everything, so overpumping on stats means you won't have many skills or advantages. It works better for futuristic settings than magical ones. - What you did today
