playing "evil"
jivex5k replied to Michael_Galt's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Good and Evil is all about perception. In some cultures fluffy kittens are considered evil spirits, and it's righteous to utterly destroy them. I think as long as different choices are available that pertain to customs for the different cultures, and going against said cultures, everything would be just peachy. -
Killing all NPCs
jivex5k replied to jivex5k's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
What if the town disrespects you. Are you gonna just take that bs???? NO! Summon Daemon in the middle of town! Seriously though, let people roleplay murderers who commit genocide to towns if they want. You'd better have some skill and/or backup though. And if you think it's puerile well you don't have to do it. But please don't deny us miscreants who would love it. Who hasn't murdered entire towns in Fable? Good times... -
Yup that's my class too. But I'm on an x-com binge right now...the suspense!!

Development time too short

I don't care if it takes 5 years, just make it awesome! -
Countdown to Eternity.

Generally wherever a visa credit card is accepted, a visa debit card is also accepted. (Or other companies AFAIK) -
There's always going to be some form of: "It's just a game" involved so it's not a tedious affair. The stamina/health is an interesting system, one I've never experienced personally. But I have faith they won't make it to a point where every battle has you down for 3 weeks because of a simple sword slash. They will find a balance.

Randomness and non-combat skills
jivex5k replied to Zeyelth's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
You shouldn't try to stop people from reloading saves, or make decisions about game mechanics with this intent. People will cheat/mod/save whatever, it's their game let them! If someone gets more joy out of loading and loading it until it's what they want then so be it, why should we stop them? It doesn't hurt people who don't want to play that way, its a choice. Case in point - X-Com You can play ironman mode yourself if you want without turning it on if you have some discipline. Or you can save after each move to ensure a perfect campaign where no one dies. Or somewhere in between. But the game isn't designed to limit your reloading to get the best outcome, it says: "Yeah man go ahead, have fun". It doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't want this. The OP says: "But most games I've played completely lacks an incentive for accepting a bad roll of the dice. There are ways around it, but while a bit of randomness in combat makes it less predictable and more fun, I think it's a mistake in non-combat situations." The incentive for sticking with a bad roll is it makes your victories more meaningful, there shouldn't be some other in-game reward or incentive. Don't take out randomness in non-combat scenarios to limit the amount of saving/reloading. Some people like to stick with their bad decisions even if they could reload. Basically: People like to cheat, if you don't like to cheat then don't, but don't stop others from having fun in a single-player game. -
Which tier did you choose?
jivex5k replied to Althernai's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
25 + 25 for beta access -
How do you guys feel? I'd like to do it Morrowind style, where if you kill someone essential...well that's it. I don't like the Skyrim method of getting knocked out.

healing magic rare?
jivex5k replied to radioactivelullaby's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
How will health be regenerated then? I hope not automatically... If health auto-regens that changes my entire opinion of this game. -
I'd love to have gardening...I'm just weird like that I suppose. Just crafting in general is pretty cool to me.

Multi-monitor Support
jivex5k replied to Tyrsell's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I'd like to have the map and journal and quest log all open on a seperate monitor. But it's not a big deal if it's not. -
If there's a neromancer sub class or something I could see the ultimate spell transforming yourself into a lich. It should be a long ass quest though to get it, something really special.

Potions Suck and Here's Why
jivex5k replied to anubite's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I like the witcher's way of potions. But make sure you include ways to get information about upcoming encounters to properly prepare or it turns into a guessing game. -
It's always been my fantasy to smoke a joint in a fantasy rpg game.

3.000.000$

Good times! -
Didn't the team already say the reason they are not doing multiplayer/consoles is they want to make an epic single player pc experience and they don't want to detract from it by spending time/money on these things. Save up for a couple years and get a cheap pc, this game requirements probably won't be that high.

Speaking more on this.... I've recently been playing X-Com on ironman mode. It doesn't offer anything extra, better loot, and gives you a hell of a lot more frustration at your own stupidity. It's also made the game incredibly more meaningfull and I'm enjoying it quite a bit more. Tense moments are TENSE now...and victorys with no wound are oh-so-much sweeter. That's enough of a reward for me. I think offering rewards that help your character in-game would eliminate the point of choosing a harder difficulty. It would be like buffing everyone. Maybe have an achievement or an alternate title screen if you beat it on super hard, that doesn't hurt anyone and looks cool. Remember Mario Kart 64? If you got all gold trophies on every CC including reverse the title screen changed to a way cooler one featuring Donkey Kong! Ahhh...memories. Well back to save the world, lost 2 good members last night....they will be rememberd.
