Please no food mechanic, at least on Normal difficulty.

I didnt read the whole thread so maybe this was already discussed but what happens when they die? IIRC there is no such thing as resurrection magic in the world of P:E so what happens when they go face down? Total party size is six so thats the PC + 5, which I suppose when they get killed you just replace them from the pool of the remaining three? And if/when they die, then what? We just have to go short handed?

As an aside, how is there a picture of her sitting right next to Breivik? Is that a photoshop or something?

I think they should stomp out "fast travel scumming" and force the player to walk every step of every mile. No exits, no fast travel, not even Boots of Speed. Just the heel-to-toe express or I'll gain some kind of advantage and my immersion will be broken. Or something.

Im in for $52 ($25 tier + $20 expansion + $7 strategy guide).

Thats known as the "bait and switch".

^The irony is strong in you, padawan.

I think this is an excellent point. To me is seems like a lot of this games mechanics are being based solely on how to prevent people from doing this or that. We dont like "rest scumming": put in a system that forces you to rest in only certain locations, We dont like "ability / spell casting scumming": put in cooldowns, We dont like players "level scumming": put in quest based experience, We dont like players "topping off before battles scumming", see "rest scumming" and "ability scumming". So much energy is being funneled into forcing the players to play only one way. Im not even particulalry opposed to new mechanics, just mechanics that sound like their only purpose is to harsh my buzz. I just dont want everything to be a hassle, I want to have fun.

So restorative magic is only available outside of combat but restorative abilities are available inside combat? I assume then that all classes will have some restorative ability inside combat?

I didnt get it either. So if you get to 0 stamina and pass out, then what? You continue to lose "health" just lying there? Or if someone comes over and kicks you while youre down you will lose health? I too am a little bummed that everything is starting to sound like work. I may or may not have to wait for abilities to come off cooldown? Maybe sleep will fast forward that? And now little to no healing? Meh.

If the quote in the OP is taken as literal, is looks like higher level spells will be a "per-rest" resourse (thank god). With that in mind we can probably extrapolate that there wont be too many resting restrictions otherwise whole spell levels could be on lockout after a particularly hard fight. Using the above example (level 10 / 3 level five spells) it would be very easly to lock out that whole level in one fight.

Thank you.

Wheres the new picture of the megadungeon?

Per Raithe, hes busy with work.

Im playing the vanilla GoG version so Im not sure if any patches are included. I havent downloaded anything externally.

Caved to the pressure and started Arcanum for the first time ever. Doesnt seem to have aged well as it looks terrible on my widescreen but I noticed in the "lets play" thread that his looked much better so I assume there is a widescreen mod I can download. Character creation is good, lots of choices. I ended up picking a human with no special traits. Bought some gear, entered the game. I dont care much for the UI but its serviceable. Got to the crash site, met the monk and walked over to the shrine. Walked 10 more feet and got one shot by a wolf, game over. Realized I had not saved and seemingly no autosave occured after character creation so I have to start the whole thing over. Meh.

In matters of evolution vs religon and abortion vs right to choose, Republican hands are tied. Long ago they hitched their horse to that wagon and theres no coming back on those two matters. Thats where their voter base lies and ever flopping on either of those stances whould cause a mass exodus of their constituents. And theres a lot of people that support those stances.

Wouldnt a failed pickpocket be evident by the fact that you didnt get anything off the person? Or are you saying it would be played off as if the target of the pickpocket didnt have anything on them to steal?

Or Munchi? Lol, I kill me.

Im probably the exception to the rule but I like being able to save and reload at will. See, I prefer to have every party member survive every fight so everyone stays on roughly the same level. You dont earn experience face down on the dungeon floor. For example, my first run through BG2 I was able to drop Firkraag on the 3rd try but a few party members died. So it took me maybe 8-10 more tries before everyone lived. Similar situaltion on Demogorgon, etc... Just a personal preference I know. Id like to know whats to be lost allowing players to do that? I see a lot of you say things like; "resting/saving between battles breaks the developers intended difficulty". Really? Do you think the developer has taken into account every possible party config and character build and have somehow scaled, for example, the fifth encouter into the dungeon to know that you have blown amount of spells/abilities and therefore these kobalds are only at half power? From my experience every mob has their full repertoire available to them, not some scaled to equal what you may or may not have used at this point abilities.

Ah, about that, people think that Syrian government is attacking Turkey. And they don't think it's accidental. At first, people wanted to believe they were accidental but today when a person open a newspaper page and read, they would see this "8 times can't be an accident." and stuff like that on the titles. They believe, Syria is try and see if Turkey has the heart to attack back or maybe even start up a fight. Most of them at least thinks that way. What would be gained by Syria attacking Turkey?

I meant, who do the people think is attacking Turkey? Syrian government, Kurds, rebels? And why? Accidental? To draw Trukey into a war? Another reason?

Being there, whats the general feeling of the people on who/why mortars are landing in Turkey?

Lord of War Good flick and I always seem to enjoy Cage's movies. (Except for Wicker Man) *shakes fist*
