How has Obsidian's experience with Tyranny influenced their design philosophy regarding PoE2?

Hmm, I agree and disagree. I don't think they were "one and done". Now they may not be able to pull off another whopper like 9/11 but what prevents a handful of likeminded radicals from getting automatic weapons and going wild? Their methodology is certainly effective for stirring up the public. I wonder why it hasn't happened yet is my question.

I'm curious, and since you slightly cracked the door, may I inquire what is your religion?

If I'm understanding your post correctly, I don't think mooks are afraid that the general US citizen is armed. They mostly plan on dying anyway. And I don't think we've got some secret method for intercepting plots. The "war on terror" has been going on for decades so it seem like someone would have bloodied our noses again by now. What could it be?

I'm not actually worried about getting shot up by bad guys. I'm wondering, literally, how many honest immigrants from those seven countries would be temporarily negatively affected by such a ban/vetting process? Aside, I do honestly wonder why we haven't suffered more organized attacks like those linked. Guns are a dime a dozen around here. How is it there aren't more mooks running into public places and causing havoc? EDIT: Ninjad'. Thanks Elerond.

After we finish soiling ourselves with outrage, I wonder what that ban would mean in real-world numbers. What's the annual immigration quota for those seven countries? And what % of the quota is normally filled annually?

What's on the idiot box?
Based on Tale's mention, I looked up and started watching KoS. Up to S1E7 and its fairly entertaining in its concept and story so far.

Josh Sawyer Something Awful PoE2 Posts
Gfted1 replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Unfortunately not. I had a bad taste in my mouth after the Beta's but as time passed I softened that stance. I almost talked myself into playing but then decided to wait for a few patches...and it just never happened. Is combat significantly different now than Beta? Ill pick up PoE2 whenever it goes retail to support the home team and complete my library. Also, who doesn't want their own ship?

I'm sure there is plenty of legalese that could get them out of the Union. But that doesn't mean the new trade and water agreements between the new country of California and the rest of the US would be amicable.

Well no, I don't think California seceding from the Union would go down all friendly.

Josh Sawyer Something Awful PoE2 Posts
Gfted1 replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I did. I played the first and second to last Beta's. And I think Sawyer nails on the head exactly what happened to me...I became overwhelmed by leveling up an entire party at once and didn't know what the hell I was doing. The more damning thing though was, I love combat in games, a good story is a cherry on top, but I loves combat. In PoE I was AWFUL at it. I couldn't understand what was going on at all. I was tapping the spacebar like a woodpecker. Are my commands being executed? Why is that dude just standing there? What, that beetle just tpw me? I mean, I soldiered through every part of the Beta that we could but didn't enjoy it. The problem is me.

CA can barely flush their toilets. We would have them by the balls on water rights alone. If its yellow, let it mellow indeed. Not that I want them to leave anyway. My time spent there while in the Navy was fantastic. Beautiful climates, beautful people, a little too head-up-own-bum but otherwise a very nice place.

Welp, looks like were going to need a lot more wall between CA and OR/NV/AZ. Or else illegals will just flood in from CA unsecured border, included ex-citizens. If only you guys would vote me into power and allow unrestricted drone pepper spraying, I could end this thing in a month.

Worth pointing out: Josh Sawyer is not PoE2's Lead Designer
Gfted1 replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)No. According to some, the inclusion of kill xp instantly causes the end of all RP and the beginning of being FORCED to kill everything in the game. True story.
