  1. One error I've encountered lately really often in multiple games is "Out of Range" error when monitor tries to display something with unsupported resolution, or refresh rate, etc. I've seen it in 7 different games and in all of them I had to find settings file, which wasn't always named like that often was somewhere in my dokuments or app data, and in Brutal Legend I even had to create it myself.

     

    So I would like to suggest adding something like The Witcher 2 configuration tool:

    Or making it possible to change settings in launcher like in Trine 2:

    So Project Eternity won't try to start in 4K with 200HZ.

  2. I'd like a sincere answer to this question, though I know not all of you are of the same mind: what do you want to spend (in-game) money on?

    Bribes.

     

    Buying Information/Knowledge: The more obscure, illegal, dangerous is that knowledge the more expensive it is and the harder to get for "free".

     

    Unique items but less in "infinity+1 sword of epicness" way which should in my opinion be either in dungeon, reward for quest, or even lie down somewhere in grass forgotten and more in: equipment for various enviroments, art ("make me statue of me for 5000"),

     

    Tutoring

    -Especially for obscure and forgotten languages

     

    Getting others to do something for us when we are short on time, or it outright impossible to something without any help because we would have to be many places at same time.

  3. By 2014 25GB games will be standard. All of 8th gen consoles will have blu-ray drives or blu-ray drives in all but name and because of this AAA titles will grow several times in size and even if PE will take 10 times more than BG2(2.3GB) it won't be out of place. Even today 20GB+ game isn't anything shocking, just look at DA:O: 2009 game that takes 20GB on HDD.

    Photorealistic skulls. Also I would replace text under first 2 ladies with "eastern fanservice" and "western fanservice"

     

    My opinion remains unchanged. I think boobarmor looks ****ing retarded, but I don't have any problem with gender unequal societies appearing in game, nor I do have with skimpy/sexy clothes if there is a reason for that(prostitutes/succubs/one character trying to gain attention of other character/etc)

  5. Colored text is annoying.

     

    That tangent aside, females do have it bad in games. For a start, most games seem to be made and marketed towards males, which creates a male-centric bias. This isn't to say all games are bad or sexist, it's just something that needs to be acknowledged. And it's not something that is a problem with an individual game, more the gaming industry as a whole. For example, for every female protagonist in a game you could name, I could name half a dozen male ones. This isn't to say that every game with a male protagonist is sexist, or that those with a female protagonist aren't, it's just something you notice when you look at the bigger picture.

    And in products targeted at females most of protagonists are females.

    So how does this link to females and their fanserviciness. Well, you could look at a girl running around in her underwear in a game and say that it's not sexist, as within that story it's justified. And, whilst there's a strong sexual element to it, it'd be tough to say that that was all there was to the female character, or that the sexual elements ruin the game. However, you could look at the amount of time females are used for fanservice in games and compare it to the amount of times men are; if you did so, you'd find that females would win by an overwhelming amount. Again, this doesn't mean that fanservice involving females is automatically unjustifiable whilst fanservice involving men is the height of feminism; it's just something you spot when you look at the bigger picture.

    And impossible to change it. I've given up long time ago. Also there is no point; entertainment industry is huge and constantly growing, there is place for everything. Stupid fanservice, ambitious creations, economy simulators with more than 40 different resources, etc.

    And so what would the solution be? I mean, once you've identified a trend, one that you think is unfair on women, the solution is kind of difficult. Does one have an enforced affirmative action in terms of men and women with fanservice? Does one try to steer clear of fanservice altogether? Does one dismiss these issues and simply focus on accomodating supply and demand? If people ask for ladies in swimsuits, they should be allowed to get them. If hardly anyone asks for men running around in their underwear, then it seems pointless putting them in.

    Don't play/watch/etc things that annoy you. Generic Modern Shooters/harem anime/Dubstep/Marvel and DC annoy me and I don't demand they change to appease me.(albeit I make fun out of them)

    There is seldom a clear answer, but in the case of Project Eternity, I think it's not hard to find a compromise. It's not unthinking that some men and women would favour vanity over practicality and would run around with their assets on display. It's also quite probably that men and women of many different body types would show up in this fictional world; perhaps adventurers would be fitter than most, but not always.

    I don't see point of BMI/fat/body type debate. PE is not set in XXI century world, its low magic renessaince world, most of people back in XV century couldn't afford to be fat.

  6. while the first thing Obsidian did in their campaign is change the design of one of their main characters restrospectively because a few people were "offended" by it, which played into my consideration as to what amount to pledge.

    Even that night not be a good sign I'm happy they changed it as boob armor looked really retarded.

  7. There are MANY problems with party romances. Perhaps the biggest is equity. See, you can't have just ONE romanceable NPC.

    Why not?

    People would blow a fuse. "Why NPC A and not NPC B?" "I want to have an interspecies gay romance!" "NPC C is obviously in love with the PC as my mod handily proves"

    etc...

    Because that would limit the kind of character content you can experience with a given PC. Since many people feel strongly about romances, this would not go well.

     

    Clearly, the only solution here is to make the romanceable companion from a changeling-like race (godlike subrace?). If the NPC can change gender at the player's will, all combinations are covered! :lol:

    If internet teached me anything it's that no matter what happens someone, somewhere will rage about it.
