I seem to remember a half-giant race with natual psionics from the 3.5 DnD psionic book. Does anyone remember them? I think if you took something simular to that, made them into a coastal/island based culture, maybe add some twists like having them be a very reserved, non-aggressive, maybe matriarchal society, you could have something interesting.

Sorry Here's the full text of the answer from Tim Cain. -

They already shot that idea down. They decided the cost of those type of animations with clipping avoidance and whatnot wasn't worth it with a limited budget. -
Obsidian and new IPs

I'd love to see novels set in the PE world. I'm nearly as stoked for Chris's novella as I am for the game. -

Don't let it get you down, just a bit of a misunderstanding. It's the internet, sometimes things get a little misconstrued. I think we got both sides explained out now. Don't sweat it. -

Yes, his intention was just to try to tighten our little order who have been chatting with each other and maybe expand it a little, but I see how it can been seen that way. We probably should sit down and figure out what the best way to communicate to the group without doing so in a way that causes any potential conflict or negitive vibes. <3 for the feedback -

Actually, unless I'm mistaken, paypal is still open. If so you can still join. Add $8 to your pledge and post in the OO thread at the top. There isn't any OO elitism or anything that I've seen, just a few people getting a little over excited. The group was never meant to segregate anyone, just add a little incentive to pledge a little more to the game. In the end, we're all just fans trying to help as much as we can. -
Creating custom in-game avatar
Eryss replied to Sedrefilos's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I think it would be cool if you could upload your own portrait into the game. That way you can make your own, or grab one from one of the older games, or whatever you want. As for the actual avatar character creator, hopefully it's pretty deep. Lots of people love to spend hours with those. -
D&D Bestiary?
Eryss replied to jivex5k's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
They've done a good job so far at being familiar but with some twists. I'd bet the same thought will go into the monsters. -
Until we get more info, I'll probably going to end up leaning towards starting a Godlike Rogue first. It depends on how the godlike actually look, I could go human or orlan. I'll also give heavy consideration to being a cipher or a chanter. It'll probably take me an hour or two staring at the character creator before I decide what race/class combo speaks to me most.

Usually the ending is what ends up defining the story for me. There are plenty good stories out there, but the ones with the great endings are always the ones that burn brightest in my memory. My favorite endings are usually the ones are when something BAD happens. Something that makes you whisper "oh my god" and want to stop reading/playing/watching. Maybe good still wins out in the end, but at what cost? This could be the death of a major character that the player/reader has a strong emotional attachment to, or something catastrophic that the heroes couldn't quite prevent happens. Maybe the character the hero has been trying to save for the whole story dies right in front of them (or maybe the hero has to kill them his/herself). Or perhaps the hero just flat out loses? Whatever it is, I like endings that elicit so much emotion that you're drained at the end.

They'll send an email here soon asking that sort of information.

Cut content
Eryss replied to Kaldurenik's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Not everything is fixable. I was talking more about things that would get cut due to it not really adding something to the game. For example, if there's some mechanic that they thought would be cool but in practice it really bogs down combat, then they are going to (and should) cut it. Even if they happened to have mentioned it to the backers. -
$250 Tier International Question

Well if you've already donated $280, what's another $30? -
$250 Tier International Question
Eryss replied to Ekho's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
No, you aren't. The shipping added is just for shipping. To get the others, you'd have to add the approprate amount. -
The End of The Beginning
Eryss replied to Sordel's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
It's the same with everything. The health system, the experience system, nothing is set in stone. They'll try things and if they don't work, it'll be changed. That's what iteration is for. -
Cut content
Eryss replied to Kaldurenik's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
If something isn't working, they should cut it. I'm sure any assets that they come up with for the cut content will be included in any mod kit they come out with. -

I'm pretty sure it is the in-game pet. -
Underground Big City
Eryss replied to slopesandsam's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I'd probably most pull for an Aumaua city. Unique races usually have unique cities. We don't know much about Aumaua yet, but they'd probably be the best chance for a really unique city. Aumaua are a coastal/island based race that's larger than humans. I don't think I've heard of a race quite like that before. I'd be interested to see what an island city with large buildings would be like. The only other unique race that we've been told about are the Orlan, but from the description, they don't sound like they'd have any cities, let alone big ones. -
Countdown to Eternity.
Eryss replied to Loranc's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The weekend is usually where we have our lowest days for pledges. I'm not expecting quite as much on Sat and Sun as we've had the last couple days. Monday and Tuesday should make up for it though.
