PC Retail DRM?
dancingcrab replied to DRM-FREE's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I felt the need to clarify an inaccuracy. You understand that "installing some [..] software", product redemption codes, and digital platforms are all different and totally discrete concepts/issues, right? In fact, your terminology and analogies are so confused that your own example, referencing The Witcher 3, is flawed. That game will almost certainly come with a GOG code! Of course, being CDProjekt, you won't be required to use it. I'm totally on board with DRM-free discs, and personally really dislike how all discs are little more than data files for a Steam-unlock these days. -
PC Retail DRM?

Minor clarification: GOG doesn't "force you to install some GOG software" at any point. -

@Matt516 How did you check/test for DRM? -
Truly, developers/Kickstarters should offer high quality paper maps. This obsession with fabric maps is weird. Ultima is pretty much the only series I know that did them well. The new Underworld is offering a parchment map. That is a MUCH better idea (and true to the original Underworlds) than a 'fabric' map.

Hi all, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why Aloth's D/F/R/W are so much better than my rogue's. I stripped the two characters down to their pants, and I just can't understand it. Going just by attributes, I should be higher than him, but when in our underpants, Aloth trumps my rogue in all but deflection. Can someone explain to me how the game determines base values for these stats? Thanks!

Do Talent Points Carry Over?
dancingcrab replied to MikeWiz's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
They do carry over. The Prima guide, as I am finding out fairly frequently at the moment, is inaccurate. -
This is standard. There are many ways to create cheap and easy 'fabric' style maps these days. The Divinity Original Sin map was equally nasty. Haven't looked at my Wasteland 2 one yet, but probably also rubbish. I get it's about economics, but it's just sad when I look at my old Ultima V map. So gorgeous.

No weapon skills?
dancingcrab replied to Dekeon's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Well, technically a fighter can take specialisation and then mastery, which other classes can't. But in essence, yes, it's an even playing field. -
Hi, Byeohazard - does the box have a big space at the bottom that would fit the Guidebook which came with the OP's $250 tier? (Assuming you're a lower non-signed tier like myself.) Thanks! I chose the 140.00 tier and have not broken the shrink wrap yet. I Imagine it would have the spacer in it for the discs that will be coming later. That art book and signed box at the 250.00 tier sure looks nice (grats ryukenden)! but I am really happy with the 140.00 tier. STuff is pretty loose in the box..I can hear stuff slide around by tipping the box. Hi, Byeohazard - does the box have a big space at the bottom that would fit the Guidebook which came with the OP's $250 tier? (Assuming you're a lower non-signed tier like myself.) Thanks! The guidebook (I called it artbook) is the same size as the CE box. Thank you both! Didn't realise that the Guidebook was a smaller form factor than other Dark Horse videogame publications (at least the books I own - Art of Mass Effect and World of Thedas). I like that. Might have to pick it up... especially if it fits in the box so nicely!!

Hi, The Prima guide contradicts itself regarding the speed at which characters acquire talents. First it states that a character gains one every even level. It goes on to say (in a boxout), that people tend to get their first talent at level 3 and then every third, although some classes receive them more quickly. I haven't figured this out yet as I haven't played as much as I'd like. However, I think the former is accurate. Can anyone confirm? It would mirror what I believe is the ability acquisition (every odd level). Thanks!!
