What part of P:E has you the most excited for it's release?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to CybrSlydr's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I initially read "Caining" as "canning" and thought that Tim Cain would be preserving food. That would be an interesting reward tier.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to CybrSlydr's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Naked Cadegund. Serioisly: fantastic writing, combat, and exploration. The fanboy butthurt should be funny as well.

What you having for dinner tonight?
Cheap rum with Dr.Pepper, a patty melt and fires. I was tempted to post a whip-cracking gif, then I realized that pleasing the missus often leads to....special rewards.

How can they make P:E interesting at 'Epic' levels?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)When I wrote "someone accumulates quite a bit of power where they rival demigods", I was referencing the Epic level power curve in 3.5E, where demigods(and the stillborn fetuses of demigods) are generally encounters for such a party, not that the party would become demigods.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I have no problem with exotic counters that can be used to deadly effect against powerful opponents, assuming that there is some way to counteract it. IMO, having an unstoppable weapon that there is no counter to makes bad design. Personally, I like the idea of exploring what happens when someone accumulates quite a bit of power where they rival demigods. I think that surpassing humanity is an interesting theme that could be explored better than "here are some level 20 foot soldiers, have fun hacking them to bits" in RPGs.

How can they make P:E interesting at 'Epic' levels?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Agreed. Well... to be clear, there's nothing wrong with the word epic, I don't think. If it's applied to something of a grand scale. Frodo's travels from his little hobbit hole all the way to Mt. Doom? An epic journey. His (well... Bilbo's) mithril chain mail? Not epic. Cool and protective, but not epic. It doesn't level mountains, or produce something equivalent to all the events of Frodo's journey that whole way.So, epicness, in a narrative? Fine. Epicness of an object? Meh. That's been a pretty crap application ever since it was first applied in an official manner (I blame MMOs, even though I don't know that they were the first).Epicness is what you DO, what you ACHIEVE with what you have. It's not the stuff you have that inherently achieves great things. Like JFSOCC said, taking down (as an actual mortal with limited resources) 15 combatants that COULD all potentially kill you is far more epic than waving a Sword of God-Killing to deal enough damage to slay a god.I think what is Epic is determined by the setting. In FONV, a lone wanderer managing to fend off several Deathclaws is an incredibly epic feat. In NWN2, ending a curse created by a foul god is an epic feat. I don't believe the power levels of the characters involved should be compared, as they are from radically different settings. From what information is available, PE's power curve will be similar to 3.5e/PF, so applying real world logic in what an individual can accomplish may not pan out, seeing as individuals in PE can use the power of their souls to perform supernatural feats and will likely be superhuman in real world terms.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Death Machine Miyagi's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Fine, fine. I digressed a byte. Happy? I'm on the Internet so no. One thing I would hate to see for Epic levels is the non-progression from BG2. Gaining a level should be exciting and add tactical depth to a class, not just another X HP and another use of a Special ability.

What sort or party would you put together?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to forgottenlor's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)So, you had Garrick in your party in BG1? Did anyone keep a Bard in their party at all? IMO, that was easily the worst class in all of 2E. Hopefully Chanters will be useful.

What's on the idiot box...
IIRC, it depends on the tech and process used for cloning. High Evolutionary had been able to do it well, while Jackal(arguably one of the more prolific makers of clones) would usually produce subjects that were unstable, like Kaine.
