I'm pretty much in the same camp. I'm tolerating Windows 7, but Windows 8 is making me seriously consider going across to linux

Favorite non-combat skills
Amyrantha replied to UncleBourbon's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I also really like the dialogue skills, particularly diplomacy/bluff type ones. It can be so much fun in a well written game to use these kinds of skills.- 28 replies

This video caused equal amounts of laughter and wtf for me.

I want to be a dragon
Amyrantha replied to Dragonnn's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
^This. Please. An unwinnable encounter where I get my ass handed to me by an Elder God? Yes Please! -
Thoughts about souls
Amyrantha replied to Frisk's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I think Egyptian Kings often claimed to have multiple Ka, but I'm not sure if this is really relevant to the discussion. -
Update today?
Amyrantha replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
This pretty much sums it up. -
I tend to agree, with only 8 companions having them kill each other would really suck. I know we have the adventurers hall but rolling your own companions just isn't the same as having unique, storied companions for me.

Yep. It's about survival. I think the mindset of "I must get XP for battles" comes in part from the fact that combat in games these days is so damn easy. So you need XP to make that mindless busy-work worth your while. I agree with you, if the combat is fun and challenging, and incorporated into the objective based system fluidly, I don't think not getting xp for every single insignificant enemy is a problem.

Explain why one way should be and another not? They should both be rewarded with different and unique content. No, I think I have explained perfectly well, if the player wants to go around murdering everyone in real life they should accept the consequences of their actions, there is a reason why people who go on killing sprees end up dead. I just had an image of a bunch of do-gooder paladins hunting you down in game for burninating a village or other equally dastardly deeds. Could be fun.

Live recorded music, Poll 2.0
Amyrantha replied to jerf's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Only loosely related, but I'll tell you what I really hate about music in some games. You're strolling along, when suddenly epic orchestral battle music starts. You get your sword/fireball hands ready, look around, expecting a dragon or a bunch of orcs or at least a rival adventuring party, only to discover you're being attacked by *insert ****ty low level enemy here*. Massive anticlimax. -
Live recorded music, Poll 2.0
Amyrantha replied to jerf's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The right music doesn't necessarily require an orchestra, or even that it be played on the instrument it was written for. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKLpBBWIvRs I wouldn't be opposed to the score for this game being played on modern instruments eg. electric guitar, though admittedly my taste in music is pretty eclectic. -
NEW STRETCH GOAL!
Amyrantha replied to Loranc's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I was pretty certain this game was going to be fantastic anyway, however with the extra money from the 4 mill stretch goal for polishing the game I'm now even more excited. Which I didn't think was possible.
