I can for sure says it has nothing to do with boots. I just started the game my druid merc has no boot equipped and he is in slow motion. I am in Eothas temple in Gilded Vale, with only the armor given..when you create the merc and..that's it no buff, my team is level 2/3. Imo the issue comes from unsheated. It is also a Stag druid/wild Orlan (not sure it helps).

Depends which stretchgoals we're talking about and how much it will delay the whole release. I wouldn't mind more depth to the companions rather than new ones and class quests.

I did hoped than this update would have been about Chris Playing Arcanum (you guys did say he will be forced to do so by January ) We don't forget! Some of us upped their pledge only to see that happening XD

Thanks for you feedback Nepenthe. I was waiting for a real answer from someone who played the game. Even, if i think i will wait after xmas to buy it (wallet issue ).

@Hormalakh Never said it should be that name. Plus, i think the name does make sense. Since it means Eternity.. But i don't think myself that name should be proposed. But this thread was going a bit..on the off-track side. So, i wanted to make a real proposition. To recenter a bit the subject. Aevum sounds a bit like Avernum and Arcanum. But that's also what make it interesting. Since there is a real reference and winkle to previous work done by Obsidian. But like i said, it wasn't a real suggestion. Was more trying to recenter the subject. Because i have read Dozen of parodic post w/ Baldur's name, Planetscape and Fallout name in it. The first one made me laugh, the others less. Besides, without any more info. I don't think any of us can come up with a good name. Btw Aeon also means eternity in Latin (there is a lot of words than means Eternity but their sense differs).

I really want another AP unfortunately I think it'll never happen.

@BruceVc Thanks, i think i'll do that. It seems they made a buggy version..

Aevum which can also mean in Latin Eternity.

I was wondering if i should buy it or not. From your comments, i guess they tried to make money around a legendary game. But didn't improve a lot of thing and even worse it seems they really screw up some..? Is the game experience procured inferior to the original saga ? Can you really feel any improvement worth buying it ? (because if it doesn't worth it, i'd rather keep my money for xmas gift and other KS project).

@Lady Crimson It's Actually done by a team of modders. So, they know how the mods are essential to a game .

I voted nope by personal conviction.

Currently playing Mount & Blade Warband (great game).

Hiro you just don't know the story behind that sword. Actually during an helpless fight against dozen of Xvart an adventurer in his last breath put his sword in this treasure pile thinking "may this sword be useful to the son/daughter of a god" (yeah he had tips from Avernus).

So what was enhanced in it expect the price ? ^^

I'd like to point out 2 games that might interest you guys (well i hope lol). http://www.kickstart...rsaken-fortress It's a survival-RPG. Creating a base, finding raws materials, hunting, defend your base, interact with the characters..you can be betrayed etc..the game offer a lot of possiblity. Their inspiration is Fallout (post apocalyptic background)/Fallout Tactics and Jagged Alliance for the fight. Btw i am boohhing Obsidian for not backing a game that says that their direct inspiration is one of your game. They are only 40% funded with..like no media coverage at all..(one article..) and there only 13 days left. Second game a direct successor to Dungeon Keeper ! http://www.kickstart...r-the-overworld I think it doesn't need explanation for anyone who have played DK and miss it

Thanks LadyCrimson it's exactly what i was looking for! I just never thought to find it in the computer & console thread (well i didn't take a look on this one). I thought i would only find thread about the next GTA or the next soccer game lol

Can't agree with this sentence at all. "good designs should tell a story all by themselves". Then the last Final Fantasy who have terrific design is a good game and have a good story ? Then what about games from 80's ? They had awful design. But Even now we hardly game across half the joy they would bring us when we were playing them. Because they were really good game and they were deep. A good design doesn't have to carry a story and even less i'd say it is only a support to the background. The only thing it should convey is a general sense of aestetic that characterize a world and help you to increase the immersive part of this world. But in the first place the most important part is the background, the theme that the game will abord, the complexity of the world, the religion, the economy, politics. Right now the Aumaua design doesn't appeal you. But when the setting around this race will be done. With its story, gods, history , drama, all the little thing that makes a game alive. You won't care at all about their design. You will just enjoy the game and its creative and immersive world.

I don't think the concept can be defined by one race, character. But by the world created itself. PE is trying to create a new world..with a total new background etc. It is really difficult to come up with something from ground zero. Hence, i'd like to add that for me what define the concept art of PE is the Tower which define the general artistic sense the game is gonna take. I'd also add that originality is not what should struck you at first. If you're starting to look at every details..you're obviously gonna be disappointed. Edair isn't original at all but you can feel the charisma of the character by the concept art. An Unique world in a Dark Fantasy setting is what i expect from obsidian. This uniqueness isn't bound to art only. But background, depth.

Hmm, i am not a OO member but actually i don't know where to ask my question.. Is there on the Forum a place where we talk about other KS project ? There is a game atm..that is in campaign and which inspiration is Fallout/Fallout Tactics..But they doesn't have a lot of media coverage..(the setting is a post-apocalyptic earth..with people living underground (big reference )). In any case if one of you could redirect me to the place where we talk or i could talk about it..thanks by advance! And yes, Being an admin of several forum i can tell you that when news are gonna come (and concrete news about the game). People will get excited and come back again You can already with the concept art we have created gifs/smileys, poster, parody, your own concept art, drawing contest, writer contest etc.. and organize a propaganda for OO and PE.

I love all of these armchair game developers and self appointed games publishing experts dispensing advice. It really warms my heart. It's the beauty of KS, my dear

Who said Gothic 3, Daggerfall ? :3

The bad side of this is that when you don't do the romance (even though you don't like them). You have the feeling you are missing a lot of content. For example without doing the romance of Lelliana in DA:O. you were missing the encounter with her mentor , the fight and the good item she had. So, you do feel kind of forced to do them in a way.

Exactly. For all we know they might even decide to do a MMO out of PE

I wonder when we will see Chris tied up to a chair with only food and water forced to play Arcanum for 24 hours. That's the update i am the most impatient to see. I imagine this as Chris on a sunday; someone ring at his door; he open; then 3 guys with mask kidnap him and take him in a car. He then get wake up tied up on a chair in an old basement with Tim picking up the bag he had over his head playing a remake of the joker to him (with make up and all "So, you've never played Arcanum?!").

I somehow get the impression that you are not talking about 'romance' but love as a more abstract term. Of course love doesn't have to be sexual. Most parents love their children. You can even love inanimated things like a country. Thinking sex plays absoluetly no role in a loving relationship between adults, however...that's kind of naive. Trust is a big part of it, too -but that alone can also be found between close friends and siblings/family. I've never said that sex had no role in relationship. Just that is as important than trust in a relationship (which you seem to agree with me). But, all doesn't have to only revolve around sex. This isn't how a relationship is built. Like in DA:O where all the romance could be summarize as "i'll give you present so we can have sex". The ultimate goal was to have sex with the NPC. It lacked the deepness it should have. Love is a much more complicated feelings than that. You don't need to add sex to make a good romance. BG2 romance weren't set up as "having sex" as an ultimate goal. The other party had fear, mistrust, jalousy, guilt, etc. You had to win over their trust, calm their fear, undergo their jalousy and appaise their guilt to succeed. I see actually sex in a game romance as a negative factor. It totally ruin the romance itself to the ultimate point when we have games company creating a sort of "i'll make you a gift so we can make out". The ultimate goal of romance in games was to win over the NPC heart. It wasn't having sex. having sex was just a possibility in the romance but it wasn't the whole point nor the goal in it.
