Would you like an AI that can be turned completely off, has adjustable variables(like who the character attacks, if they will use spells or abilities on their won, when they will use potions, for example), and is always superseded by player commands?

I think that there should be options to have complete control over the party, partially script party member actions, have them act with a default AI, or some combination(member by member case perhaps) of the three. I would also like to have the option to level them up myself or let the game do it. The key word here is OPTION. I don't want to be forced into any choice, but be able to choose after I have played the game a bit and decide how I can enjoy the game the most.

I'm not too sure about the proposed system, but I want to see more information before I condone or condemn it.

I wouldn't. Gaider seems too keen on making cinematic experiences than actual games.

They're busy re-scanning her face with next-gen technology so she can be in DA3 and ME4. This time she's mandatory in exchange for a guaranteed 9.5/10 or better review score. I dunno, I think IGN just likes to suck corporate balls. Makes sense, they are part of the parent company that FOX News.

^I swear, the dude sounds like a dude I knew in high-school.

2 hours? Dude I hated the game too but 20 minutes should have been enough. Although I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite, seeing as I've spent hours dissing ASM 700 and the premise behind SSM.

I think Ieo actually addressed this with an idea to have branching character development for different types if relationships. It is a pretty good idea, and hopefully some variation of it will be implemented in PE. Anyone else hoping for more developed negative relationships?

I'm thinking about giving Skyrim another chance or just playing Morrowind a bit. any suggestions?

The far right/tea partiers in the House will do anything they can to sabotage it. These are people who were voted into government on the promise that they'd destroy the government from the inside, after all. Yes the teabaggers are flailing around like children because they can't get their way. How is this different from any other day?

I'll bite... What game? I would love to see a good implementation. The Witcher 2 is probably the best I've played, but CD Projekt Red had the advantage of using a predefined player character, which PE will not have. Actually he is wrong. NWN2 Platinum has been taken off Steam. Of course, I'm referring to "relationships" as any type of character interaction (not just a very one that also involves sexual interest), which I would argue Obsidian does excellently. NWN2 MotB has some of the best character interactions I have ever seen in a game, and the other games Obsidian staff have worked on(like Kotor2, PST, FONV) are pretty damn good too. Obviously there is room for improvement(like more dynamic negative relationships), but Obsidian does characters and relationships well enough where worrying if they won't be good or bitching about one type of relationship for 100+ pages seems a bit silly. Obsidian will make this part of PE well I assure you. Of course seeing promancers and antimancers mudsling at each other is almost as much fun as being a grammar nazi to ruskis, so please don't stop.

I think this is the Republican party's motto.

Someone should really start a thread for each class.

Well this is cheery. The hissyfits in this thread tickle my funnybone more than Wacker getting called out for being an obnoxious ass. I wonder how long until the ruskies come in and violate the English language? That should be entertaining.

I don't.

I would prefer classes not to have special abilities with any particular weapon. What I would like is for classes to have preferences for combat styles instead.

Will he teach the PC how to search and destroy, or to be your dog?

I just know there's going to be a ton of cognitive dissonance after this, all the predictions of earth shattering/soul changing events will morph into less provable fluff..."I know I said Jesus would return but I never said he would make himself known! He is working amongst us now, in secret!" Jesus is here working to save humanity from the forces of darkness!

You are correct, it does sound pretty damn corny, almost like something that would be in an anime. I would prefer an intense rivalry that can end up somewhat like the rivalry in The Prestige. I would like to see the more negative relationships get a bit more depth than "I don't like you".

Forton = Mr Miyagi I hope teaches the PC the crane kick He damn well better!

Do not take this the wrong way, but you are pretty wrong about the buff sessions in D&D. As you said, you are only familiar with it in CRPGs, but it functions much differently in PnP, where resting is not as easy and where most spells have material components. If they want to improve buffing in a CRPG, they should have less stackable spells that last longer, so spending 4 minutes on buffing is not optimal.

Crafting should be as simple as possible, with an easy to use an robust interface and relying solely on character skill. No archaic rules or pressing buttons at intervals should be required. 3.X and Pathfinder are probably the best to look at for crating "basic" items, while Pathfinder should be used as inspiration for enchantment.

I wonder if there will be some kind of mentor-ship relationship in the game, perhaps Forton would be a good candidate for it? I think that Obsidian has shown they can do them very well(see Kreia) and it would be an obvious role for an old monk.

This may come off as rather brash, but Hurlshot, your dad sounds like a condescending ****. From the instances in the letter, it sounds like he worked himself in to a tizzy over nothing. If you want my advice tell your dad to **** off and that you think your wife is perfectly fine the way she is. Sorry if I sound a bit dickish on the matter, I just had to deal with a girlfriends parents who were incredibly uptight as well.
