  1. In an interview by Game Informer Feargus Urquhart reveals that the unannounced RPG is in fact Project North Carolina(aka Stormlands), brought to life in a changed form, and it's going to be announced in the coming months.

     

    Here is the reveal:

    And, here is the start of the interview, where he also talks about Obsidian in general, Fallout, and an interesting part about the beginning of his career in the 90's.

  2. The real question here is.  I have not done the Alpine dragon yet so no spoilers but one! Before he was capable of instantly critting someone and killing out right (not knocked out) in one hit? If so that is frightening for my PoTD Trial of Iron run.

     

    No. Gib in PoE refers to enemies exploding in pieces of flesh and blood, when the finishing blow is a crit. The new patch disables this feature on the Alpine Dragon, this being a little silly with it being quiet big, anyway it's a lot cooler to have the body laying there.

    We're 850 million and all of the middle east is 400.. If every single man, woman and child moved they would still be a minority. Besides their birthrates are comparable to ours now, so they can't even outproduce us if that's your worry (which it really shouldn't be).

     

    In conclusion: Stop being so dramatic.

     

    Comparable how? Or are you counting your native population birth rate as a collective or your genuine native population. Because last time I looked, the only reason most European countries have a positive birth:death ratio, is because the immigrants have several children and make the overall stats look better.

     

    And where did you get 850 million, EU has about 500. 

     

     

    I get my numbers from the World Bank and UN websites, as opposed to the time honored tradition of pulling the numbers out of your ass.

     

    The UN sets a cautious estimate of the population of EU at 738 million. Source. While other projections are almost a billion when Russia, Turkey and other countries some times affiliated with Europe are counted in, so I went with a nice middle ground.

    Do you also need help with finding sources on population growth?

     

     

    Your source claims that's the population number for the continent of Europe, not the Union.

  4. aristotleomissis asked: Hi, Josh! I'm greatly enjoying Pillars of Eternity so kudos to you and the Obsidian crew for putting out a great game original.gif However one thing that puzzles me (and seemingly other players too) is the lack of immunities, whereby I could kill a fire blight with a fireball or my tiny orlan fighter could knock a dragon prone. Are there plans to include immunities in the expansion?

    We discussed the pros and cons of immunities during development of the base game, but we didn’t have time to implement, test, and balance them.  Damage type immunities have been added in PX1, with some of them retroactive to base game creatures in patch 2 (the fire blight being one of them)

    melnorme asked: So, what turned the tide in favor of implementing damage immunities in PoE? Will PCs and NPCs be able to acquire them with items/spells/etc or is it just for monsters?

     

    Time and the increase of the damage output curve at higher levels.  Currently damage immunity is an armor property on certain creatures only.  If it becomes a status effect in the future, it could be put on player spells, items, abilities, etc.

    Quality "journalism": "See the guys in armor there? That’s the Enclave, policing who can and cannot get into the vault. Spoilers: most people could not secure vault space...but it’s difficult to feel bad, considering the vaults were actually just glorified testing labs. I digress."

    Also, from RPS: "It seems that the Brotherhood of Steel – or some local equivalent – had some manner of foothold pre-bombs here. Are they stopping these poor shmoes from reaching the fallout shelters?"

     

    :lol:

  6. The GOG sale numbers can be estimated using the all time bestselling list, by comparing to some games which have revealed such information. The positions of PoE and some other Kickstarter games are:

     

    247. Shadowrun Returns

    334. Divinity: Original Sin

    355. Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition

    356. Expeditions: Conquistador

    550. Wasteland 2 Digital Classic Edition

     

    PoE and Wasteland 2 have multiple editions which are listed separately. The PoE Champion and Royal Edition are 904 and 949, respectively.

    So, if anyone knows a game that has revealed it's GoG sales, we can get some extremely vague numbers.

    The way I see it is that Raedric is a lunatic fanatic who will never stop his oppressive and nasty ways. 

     The ending you get for Gilded Vale if you side with him I believe proves me right.  

     

     

    He actually stops being excessively authoritative if you side with him. Gilded Vale's fate under him may actually be better than if you side with Kolsc.
