Where is everyone from
The Mist Devil replied to Sales101's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Holy Roman Empire? On my part, location's written under avatar, so, Canada in North America. -
What I liked the most were the streamings. They were fun, relaxed, we had direct feedbacks, we could fool around, get to know the team better, it was done in a convivial atmosphere. Also allowed us to feel more "at home". More concerned, a better immersion, to feel somehow part of the team. Plus, Adam is cool, he was nice and funny, need more Adam. (The fact he likes cats and now has my funny picture has is avatar has nothing to do with that last comment. *Pockets the 100 bucks discretly*) What could have been done better? Maybe one or two more "screenshots", I could have used more sample musics as well and more forum life, but that's nitpicking on my part.

Adam's play through of icewind dale 2
The Mist Devil replied to Jason/Leon's topic in Obsidian General
Thanks for the futur upload, it'll be fun to see how he fared. Might actualy make me recreate my old 4 char party (Cleric of Lathander, Fighter, Elf mage, tiefling rogue). -
Rest/Restoring spells
The Mist Devil replied to The Mist Devil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Sleep, the wizard lvl 1-2 best friend. -
Maybe the cats everywhere meant that soon all of OE employees working on PE will have cats for avatars.... Adam started the bal at least, he's true to his words.

Hahaha, Adam, brilliant and the avatar too... Makes me glad I asked that question in the first place!

Rest/Restoring spells
The Mist Devil replied to The Mist Devil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Your quick rest option sounds like the "Second Wind" of some other games. Something usable once per day/crawl, per character to recover stamina/stun points. The absence of time limit was indeed why so few actualy did not car eif they had to rest for 3 days straight. I used the less rest possible, using spells rather than rest for healing, but still, sometimes you knew you could just go wild against the next encounter and then rest. Adding some sort of timer or maybe an item that's needed to use the rest option. Some sort of soul regeneration stone, a tent, bedrolls, firecamp, something. -
My personnal opinion is: If it's done well and it suits the characters, it's a fun challenge sometimes. Like turning Viconia into a TN character was something interesting in BG2, you really had to be careful of what you did and when you did it. I found some other romances into other games to be too much like a psychanalysis of the other part. No need to have some frail partner or some emotive wreak needing your strong support. Stronger bounds of comraderie that evolve into something more, why not? Like ComradeGoby said, we don't need quotas as well, nor is it a necessity to have something too deep. Plus, I don't like the comments about people seeing this as online dating. Emotional attachment (in a sane and healthy way) with a story, to see it evolve, change and progress is something that just makes it different than a big dungeon crawl (like IWD2 who did a great job at it). I believe that -if- they can put good stories behind it and that it does not delay the rest of the scripts, nor force some kind of remastering of the story to include said romances, why not? You don't like romances and they implemant one? The first time something "romantic" starts, just say the usual last choice sentence: Not interested, lets continue the adventure.

Rest/Restoring spells
The Mist Devil replied to The Mist Devil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Well, you just had to save and well, you could rest at many places, like, in the middle of the De'Arnise Keep or in the sewers, at only a few meters from a Beholder Ghaut, etc. Nwn just made it sometimes even easier, yeah.
