Shadowrun Returns
While I'm not missing the looting very much, I do think having items as quest rewards would have been a nice touch. Also, I think melee weapons could have been more effective.

Legal reminder - insulting the French president
That must have been quite a bit of white flags.

Why insult one man when you can insult the entire country? Grow some balls France.

What you did today
Today I went to work and plan to go out with some friends.

Game devs starting to call out some of the *crazy* vitriol
Honestly, if someone is being a real ****, you should just ignore them. 99% of the time, they're doing it to get attention and feeding them will only make it worse. That isn't to say you should brand all criticism as vitriol or anything, just that you should ignore the (empty) death threats and other internet toughguy bull****.

Shadowrun Returns
I hope the sequel is better designed. I am loving playing a Custom Kensai character.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Skolinkinlot's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I love the Pathfinder system but honestly. it's just not a good system for a computer game. If PE were turn-based, sure, that's a whole other thing. But seeing as it is, I'd say building their own system is a good idea, albeit difficult to achieve. Wouldn't they have had to license Pathfinder anyway (deducting money from the project)? Of course. But I don't think that's really the point because designing your own system also costs a lot of money. Still, there is a game that uses the Pathfinder license. Head over to goblinworks.com for info about Pathfinder Online. Actually, I don't think that is using the Pathfinder system, just the setting. Using the Pathfinder rulesets for a cRPG would likely be legal hell, seeing as you would have to deal with both Pazio and WotC.

Shadowrun Returns
I wish that you could save manually, stealth was possible, and that you could cast healing spells out of combat. Otherwise the game is addictive as ****.

Movies You've Seen Recently
Yes, the studios have (more or less) said as much.I don't think its good for the industry. It depends on what you mean by "good for the industry". If you mean "provides a large amount of diverse entertainment without constantly recasting the usual suspects, and is comfortable with several successful films instead of having few wildly successful films" then I would definitely agree.

What you did today
I dunno, I've always enjoyed the "seedier" side of life. Joining a playboy's entourage probably wouldn't give me time to enjoy that.

The (hopefully) attractive women thread.
You make a good comparison but the reality is men are more lecherous and known to be more publicly crude than women. Also we know that men on women sexual abuse is much more rife than women on men abuse so I would still say the picture is relevant? We don't know if men on women sexual abuse is more prevalent because a good portion of sexual abuse is not reported and there is neither a study that compares sexual abuse data or a universal definition for sexual abuse. The picture is relevant because on subway trains, women are very likely to be harassed by creepers.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Skolinkinlot's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)nb4bitchingatsawyer From the info available, PE does look like an IE game. It doesn't have kill XP, it uses a "more gamist" attribute system, and missing is less common, but IMO those differences doesn't transform PE into a Diablo clone. In terms of classes, every one but the Cipher is an analogue of one of the 3.5E core classes. Other than that, I'm happy PE is getting away from the D&D, which does not function well outside of PnP.

Romance, Marriage, Pregnancy and having Children.

Romance, Marriage, Pregnancy and having Children.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Zalpha's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm going to agree with FlintlockJazz that the appeal of romances in BG2 as the increased amount of content compared to other characters. PST also had content rich characters those characters were well received by most despite not being romances(yes I know your PC could flirt with some characters and have sex with prostitutes, but I don't count that as romance). IMO, the goal for games like PE should be to have companions that have different content based on what kind of relationship they have with the PC, but I see no reason that romance has to be arbitrarily slapped on because some people find it to be incredibly deep(or immersive or whatever). That isn't to say say that romances should be arbitrarily excluded because some people don't like them though. Romances should be included if... 1) the devs want to do it 2) it fits the setting and the characters involved 3) content for other characters and other relationships is not ignored 4) it is well written 5) it doesn't exist as pure fanservice that turns the NPC into a sex doll If PE has a sea battle with a Kraken, sales will go through the roof.

Kate and Williams Baby
Well Raithe, I'll give you that the British monarchs don't seem as bad as some of the royalty in the middle east. I honestly don't see the appeal of royal family so meh, hope mommy gets some rest and doesn't have cameras following her around constantly for the next few months.

What you did today
I have the day off, and intend to relax, play videogames, and see if the GF wants to go out when she gets home. I'm currently on track to receive a BA in economics by 2016(sooner if I quit my current 30+ hour a week job), but I'm not sure that a career as an analyst or in business is something I want. I'm certain we would see a large decrease in accidental pregnancies.

What are you playing now?
Fired up Torchlight 2, which is pretty enjoyable for a Diablo clone. Too bad I have a long day of work on the 25th, or else I would hole up and burn through Shadowrun Returns.

Romance, Marriage, Pregnancy and having Children.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Zalpha's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Perhaps you're a glutton for punishment. Anywho, I hope PE makes a ****load of money so that NPCs in the sequel can have reactive dialogue that changes depending on what type of relationship they have with the PC or other NPCs. After all, people do react towards others differently depending who they are, and seeing NPCs do that in a well executed manner would be very nice.

Romance, Marriage, Pregnancy and having Children.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Zalpha's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I know, right? It's like this thread went back in time to September, with all the namecalling and such Well a bunch of people did get very butthurt over an attribute system, so I'd say the fury is spilling over. Which is why I choose to spam the forum with pictures of women rather than try to have a civil debate with some of the more obtuse posters.
