No, havent played either. No resurrection even in normal mode? Ill bet you could you heal your party in the field though. How so? There are zero healing capabilities in the P:E universe. Well, except sleep, and you cant sleep in combat or run back to the inn.

Something I haven't seen in an IE game before. Imagine having to "level up" your intelligent weapon? Could be awesome, but could become overpowered, unless they put some level cap in. But it's an excellent question, Atreides. Torchlight 2 had weapons that level up after a certain amount of kills. They werent intelligent and (afaik) could only be leveled up once, but it was cool.

Agreed. Awesome. Then how come you're speculating that they're going to design something that's for all intents and purposes unplayable? Unplayable? What I described is exactly what Ironman mode will be in P:E (no resurrection). Im taking it a step further and wondering what "normal" mode will play like. We already know healing is out the window so I hope there is a way to resurrect in "normal". And I hope its cheap, cause Im pretty sure I'll lose my first NPC while performing the first quest: clearing the basement of rats.

Agreed.

Well, you should be able to heal both imo. The stamina healing potions could be uncommon and the health potions could be very rare or something. I agree but currently thats not how the mechanics are being described. Stamina will self regenerate both inside and outside of combat but health can only be regenerated by resting. No potions, no spells, no abilities....only a good nights sleep will fix that dagger stuck in your neck. I wonder what will happen if say three NPC's die during a battle. Will all their stuff spill out onto the floor in a pile that you have to pick up and distribute amongst the remaining live members while you haul them back to town? Is no resurrection only for Ironman mode? It would have to be, right? Otherwise simple attrition will whittle your crew down to only you by the time you reach chaper two.

Its not set up yet so you havent missed anything.

Read it and weep.

How is being able to heal stamina a benefit? Health only goes down and does so with 100% of attacks. At some point you will be sitting at full stamina and 1 health, effectively removing that character from use as the next hit will kill them.

But he also has no right to complain about it. If he doesn't like it, he could not use it. Yes, it's not his fault the feature is available, but the availability of a feature doesn't make its use mandatory. There's no need to assign blame for that. Personally, I like having that option available. Thats whats disappointing to me, that all these mechanics are being "fixed" to cater to the .5% of the backers that complain about not being able to control themselves.

Toggleable?

Are there "relationships" in the game now? All I remember from launch time was a few occasional fade-to-black moments with various NPC's throughout the game. Now they want to implement fade-to-black with same sex NPC's? With wasting resourses like that its no surprise the game is slowly tanking.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

I've never suggested it was degenerate gameplay and I'm not sure why you would jump to that conclusion. Eh, it was just a smart ass throw away response based on the myriad of other mechanical changes you are making to ensure people cant "degeneratively" do this or that. Healing in the field? Nope. Resurrection? Nope. Resting? Sure, just travel (also see healing). Abilities use? Cooldowns. Inventory? Inaccessible deep stash (see resting). And thats just what we know so far. Im sure somewhere in there is "fun" but I just cant see the forest for the trees.

It would be interesting if such weapons had the power to take control over their users. Like maybe if the weapons intelligence was higher than the wielder or something like that.

Now you cant miss? Undoubtedly being implemented to stomp out degenerative missing. It gets worse every day.

It would have been better with no way to heal or resurrect....oh wait.

Isnt a private backers forum exactly what BSN is? You cant comment unless you have bought the game? Never did like that mentality.

I too am back to work today after being off since 22 Dec. Im already exhausted. At least my inbox didnt get hammered too badly while I was gone.

The Avengers. Pretty awesome.

They probably figured they were doing you a favor by not showing up too early.

Merry Christmas all!

Happy Birthday!!!!

I dig Ikea. Ours even has a special escalator that grabs your shopping cart and carries it up/down for you. Then at the and of the store there is a little restraunt where you can buy meatballs. Got all my wrapping done last night too, w00t.

Ive only ever watched that once. Dont see the cult appeal.

Cograts! and bummer!
