I hope those are the lower tears of armor, I would like some fantasy flare to them like they had in BG2.

Is that the general art direction of the armors, or are there going to be armors with a high fantasy look?

I stand corrected.

They are bound to the promises made in the Kickstarter. They are not bound by law, by they sure as hell are bound by the customers. What that means is, if they fail to deliver on the promises they made they will lose any backing on the next project they wish to Kickstart. In the case of PoE they were not as clear as they could have been, they said it was going to be a spiritual successor with a different setting and their own system (non D&D). Some people took it as being a brand new iso cRPG and others took it as being IE game with a new setting and a "different" system. They did nothing to dissuade either camp during the kickstarter and now it may come to bite them in the ass, in the form of disappointing one camp and losing their future backing. On the other hand they could deliver the best of both worlds and make everyone happy, which is exactly what I am expecting.

I don't know what code this forum uses to embed as it does it automatically, but the code you can get of youtube doesn't work. So your best bet is to ask the mods.

I don't think they will work embedded with a time stamp. But if you hyperlink them and add the minute and second mark in the link it will start at the desired time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1SOThYNXck#t=03m05s Add (#t=**m**s) at the end of the link, the stars are where you put the numbers.

He has gone to the dark side, queue Darth Vader heavy breathing.

Or he just found a nice hotel, stayed there for a couple of days and presto he was kidnapped. I really don't see the point of hauling in one reporter, of which I haven't even heard about before and beating him (while not leaving a mark on him) to teach him a lesson. A much more likely scenario is to put a bullet in his head and bury him in a ditch and let him serve as a warning to the others. My point is, even if this happened it doesn't strike me as something the FSB(or any other Russian agency) would do, but as an initiative of a man who leader of the group in the area, or something similar, but even that is farfetched to me and I think he is just lying his ass off.

Don't be stupid, there was no or "else". They were told not to lie or they will have their press passes revoked, there was no threat of violence. A police officer has a gun, when he tells you not to park by a hydrant or else you will get fined is that a threat of violence? Of course it isn't. They clearly stated the consequences of lies and it was not violence.

No you said that some monsters will have a fixed level, where JS said all monster of the same type will have the same damage no matter what level you are and the only ones who will either be a higher or lower level, depending on the PCs level, are major enemy NPCs. Also level scaling has to have a direct correlation to the level of the PC, or it's not level scaling.

Armed or not, I doubt it makes a difference, besides they only threatened to revoke their press passes, not harm them. As for the context, well it's certainly clear to you...

What threat? They are asked to report the truth, otherwise they are going to be bared from the conflict. I think that's a fair thing to ask. They shouldn't write opinionated articles that don't contain a shred of proof.

He pretty much says, that enemies that have levels (ie. mages, warriors, etc...) will be scaled and only in a few instances and after that he reiterated that monsters will do consistent damage, ie. no scaling. That is not the same level scaling as in Diablo or DA where all enemies take less and do more damage depending on your level.

Heh my bad, though you were playing DS2 because of the issues you had with your controller, but now that I reread the post I see you mentioned part one first.

Thanks for this, saved me the trouble of trying it out. Seems like it's pretty much the same as the first one as far as the camera and controls are concerned.

Finished playing Burial at Sea 2. I'm a little bummed out, these kind of endings always get to me. All in all it ties the story between Raputre and Infinite nicely. As for the gamplay, I went with the no kill runthrough and it was ok, nothing special but also nothing bad. Definitly worth giving it a go for those who like the Bioshock series.

By then it was to late, the damage was done and the people were informed too late. You could say that by that point it didn't matter what the press printed. When the truth was needed the media did nothing and parroted what it's government said.

The western media flat out lies, so I don't know what you are talking about. They lied in Iraq, they lied in Bosnia, they lied about Kosovo. There is no muddling of the water, there is just media printing what their government tells them.

Oh Russian media is not more trustworthy, it's pretty much equally trustworthy as the western media. That you think that western media reports the truth is oh so funny.

As far as I know and what I heard from the writers them selves, the wiki definition is pretty much spot on. Low Fantasy strives for realism and believability above all else, while High fantasy is more about being epic and grand. Though WoT has connection to the real world mentioned throughout the whole book, so it is speculated that the world we live in now is from an age that has happened long ago in the WoT world.

There you go Sheikh gritty and real, just like I said it.

So gutted about the WoT licenses, giving them to Red Eagle was such a waste.

To you it may be filler, to others it's development of the rest of the characters. I read Malazan: Book of the Fallen, it's great, one of my top reads, though it has it's own flaws, the biggest one being plot inconsistency.
