RPG Codex Josh Sawyer Q&A
Hmm, I am not sure if I understand it correctly if there will be one stat ''power'' which affects how powerfull wizard spell is and same stat determine how powerfull blow can fighter done I dont like it. Its good system and I know it works quite well for fast paced combat mechanics but for top down view RPG it feels... to simplistic? I think they going for this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Attribute#Primary_attributes I would much more like if they can pick SPECIAL or DnD system and improve it. I like when my character have some 'real' characteristics. I know where problem with these system is but I see clearly how to improve it without scraping it completely. Common example is fighter. 18Str/3int vs 14str/15int to make 15int matter, simply add abilities which rely on that skill. For example feat (can be ability) combat expertise (add int bonus to AC) - make it scale with int modifier and now you have good stat for your tank fighter. And make somehow equal number of abilities which rely on each stat and there will be no useless attribute at all. another example: wizard 8str/18int vs 15str/15int spell Nethersword - mage enchant weapon in his hand drawing power from his soul for limited number of attacks. number of attacks = int modifier, bonus damage 1.5x str modifier now you have somehow balanced spell, but 15str mage can use bigger weapon and some armor as well Problem was not with bad primary attributes, problem was with lack of abilities relying on them. my 2 cents

Purple/Pink in P:E setting
you guys know that poll is public right? just saying

Purple/Pink in P:E setting
Well my point is that many spell effects start be affected by elemental mantra - its fire based spell? ofc orange/red effects, water/ice? - blue/white effect, air/lightning - white/blue/pink (arcanum have yellow!), earth - green/brown not elemental? - pink/purple I dont mind magic missile is pink, but I dont like still same boring concept of purple/pink 'Magic energy'. Magic fire can be green, or blue. And not all fire spells have to be orange. Not all mind affecting spells should create any glowing pink aura around head of victim. It breaks immersion for me. And from what I seen so far there are concept arts which show magic/casting as producing purple light - just not fan of it. On the other hand, I must say I am very pleased with that outdoor screenshots around river. that map looks very cool. Also nice to see that a lot of people think that I am idiot

Purple/Pink in P:E setting
Hello everyone, I know I am boring that I bother with such trivial topic but it really bothers me and I would like to know if I am idiot or anyone else feels same on this topic as me. I generaly doesnt have anything against purple/pink colors but in recent years and games developed I seen raising popularity for this colors and I have to say its not my cup of the tea. Whenever I see it I imediately connect it to cartoon art style. We actually didnt seen it used anywhere in game but we have few artworks which use it extensively. I would like to hear your opinions on that subject artworks: Aloth: http://hydra-images.cursecdn.com/eternity.gamepedia.com/5/50/Aloth.png Animat: http://hydra-images.cursecdn.com/eternity.gamepedia.com/8/8a/Animat.jpg Environment: http://media.obsidian.net/eternity/media/updates/0055/pe-dungeon-concept.1000.jpg examples: http://cubehero.deviantart.com/art/WoW-Draenei-Mage-138971290 Diablo 3 vs Diablo 1 http://westkarana.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Diablo-III-2012-07-08-22-57-50-97.jpg http://dungeony.rpghry.cz/pics/diablo1_1.jpg Thanks for all comments and be polite (especially to me )

Prism Program ( Big Brother gone too far?)
I am suprised how many people here are on goverment side in this. Well we all have right to have their own opinions - for now. What bothers me is - Why its so big problem that he goes public with it if its legal to do so (PRISM is legal)? Maybe problem is that government is lying to own people? or that goverment is doing something what noone have right to vote for? How many politicans would go into elections and tell people that their program is to spy on them? None

Resting doesn't work, ditch it
But health didn't degenerate over time as 'Daily Stamina' would. And Daily Stamina is not affected by casting/taking hits

Resting doesn't work, ditch it
Do someone think about 2 stamina bars? first is 'short term' stamina that is exhausted by using abilities and getting hit, second should be 'daily stamina'. Each character will have 'Daily stamina' degen during lets say 24h ingame time from 100% to 0% and then he need to rest. Also maximum 'short term' stamina cant be greater then actual 'daily stamina'. And character cant rest unlest 'Daily stamina' is under 50% now we dont have/cant spam resting but its still there is reason to rest because maximum stamina is still lowering and then hindering amount of spells/abilities which can be cast. Also its quite simple and easy to understand and I think quite easy to implement. Just idea but I would like to hear your opinions on it.

Buffs, short duration and long duration
I was thinking about spell/abilities duration now when we have more insight into classses and it really bothers me. in DnD all spellcasting classes have spell book and number of memorised spells per day. I think now that all classes have some kind of spells we will not see this in game anymore. It doesnt make too much sense for fighter to be able to do ''input random ability'' only once per day. So what will be new replacement system? Cooldowns? If so then we will have quite large amount of abilities at disposal any time. In this case i think that short term buffs need to be extremly strong and long term ones quite weak. In DnD 3.5 there was a lot of mage spells that last few rounds/seconds which end up totaly useless. Who would cast +1 weapon for 10 seconds? Its dangerous (attacks of oportunity, time consuming and without any proper reward) much better is to cast another magic missile. At least I never used these short term buffs as there is not enough time to properly micro in real time with 6 characters unless its pause/play each second of encounter

The system is legal, so the point is moot. The logic "if something ends up where it shouldn't" is bizarre. There is no guarantee that a surgeon won't accidentally sew up a scalpel in your abdomen. There is no guarantee that a policeman won't confuse you for a suspect and detain you. There's no guarantee that you won't get ran over by a car next time you cross the road. See the pattern? But if surgeon or policmen do something wrong he is controlled and will be punished, who control these agencies? + System is maybe legal in US, noone asked me or EU if we are ok with it. I starting to think that you are that type of american who thinks America is tha best and can do whatever you guys want

What you did today
I live in a socialist paradise remember.. Every student in Denmark who's 18+ and doesn't live with their parent gets 1500$ every month for a maximum of 6 years. and there's no tuition either, so money is not really a problem. Lol its 3.375 x minimal salary in my country. I working for 4 years in IT and dont have such salary xD and I am from EU! Now I know where our money goes

Prism Program ( Big Brother gone too far?)
well If you think that spiing on me will help with overpopulation you are fool, and its not first time, all great empires of history were ''globalizations' and climate changes were there from beginning of time. And you know what? most of problems were 'fixed' by some horrific war (especialy good way how to deal with overpopulation) all of this have nothing to do with giving up my privacy. We in Europe still have some degreee of democracy so dont apply American fascistic manners on me, thanks. If I have choise 1) never allow me to enter America territory or 2) let us spy on you I would definetly skip trip to US And for record, I dont have facebook, I dont have twitter, I dont have blog, Internet was developed in Germany as far as I know. And yes I got Google email even I dont want to (company email) and my personal email is not on google. I dont use my real name on any internet page I know of

So you mean when I'm leaving my house and entering a crowded street I'm altering my behaviour to the form desired by society? Cool, totally didn't know that before. Sarcasm aside, I think you've confused Bentham with Foucault, the designer of the Panopticon and the developer of the panopticism theory. Also, 1984 is not really relevant because there is no ubiquitous Thought Police. The key difference is that Miniluv could and did monitor everyone, everywhere, at every point of their lives. Our intelligence agencies do not and cannot do that. Yet

Lol, and you subscribed to 200-year-old idea? Time is changing, the world is not the same since there's Internet and there are billions of humans today. There's not enough room for everybody if they all want to live like Americans. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_overpopulation) And you based your judgment on speculative fiction such as 1984? That's as reliable as basing your judgment from the Bible. I am not American, I dont want to live as American, yet I am spied by Americans. There is saying: These who dont learn from the past are doomed to follow same mistakes. (Say hello to WW3 - ultimate survival) To be honest replying to something like that is little bit insulting. If you like beiing spied, good for me, but dont apply it on me please, go and by XBox - new in-house all time online camera in your living room. Rejoice everyone!

Fear of women body in modern videogames
I am for equal rights for everyone BUT if 90% of backers are man (my guess) , I dont see why 50% of game should be focused around what womens (and White Knights) want. But I am ok if there will be no boobs around, we still have internets for porn right? little offtopic I laughted my ass of when EU decide that there will be norm that 50% of manager positions in companies have to be womens. Can you imagine it? That you as guy work your ass off for many years to gain your position and then some idiot in parlament decide that you have to ocupy positions in company by incopetent workers just because some feminist **** cant find job (probably because she can only talk trash and become politic) Sorry for my rubish english

NWN2 tips?
Thanks exo, I will keep it in mind, but right now I am going through SoZ so it will take time when I will return to OC or MoTB progress update - I got few levels and complete all goblin quests.So far most ass kicking is my fighterm but what troubles me that he got hit a lot even with AC25. I skipped Favoured soul as I was not sure if I need cha or wis and take druid instead. My mage is pretty decent as well, I am now thinking if go for red wizard or candlkeep guy. Also any hints how to progress ranger/rouge? its now 3/3 and seems decent I give him archery style. Thanks for all tips guys
