Retaliation Tank - Rogue
I've been wondering what certain terms mean exactly. Typically they are in the discription of an item. Ei. retaliation and second chance, whatnot. Written in blue I think. Maybe there was supposed to be a mouseover function describing them. They are not in the Journal. It would be good to know exactly what they are.

Can't load saves after stealth-patch this morning
In my experience STEAM randomly resets your options every so often. Things like auto update on off, popup window spamming, cloud save.

Obsidian, I feel sorry for you.
I'm worried long term, in a general sense, that being too sensitive to who you may potentially insult is going to make everything too safe, boring and irellevant. the first rule if you are trying to create something interesting is : don't try to please everybody. If you need to make concessions as a game developer to avoid becoming a target for a boycot campagin then that's what you are going to do, and that's why we can't have nice things. I don't think the limerick is a big deal, in fact I don't think it's anything but this weeks soon to be forgotten drama, but since we are raising a general issues that are also relevant to other art and entertainment media.

Limerick edit thread
With everything that's been going on I think it's important that people be allowed to express themselves on this. If things get too personal and people start stepping over the line. Well, the usual response will be to time out the thread. That would be a shame is what I'm suggesting.

Not a bug but definitely needs to be reported. XP.
It started out hard, now around lv9 I don't bother saving anymore. I just use the autosave. I can still get killed but only if I get sloppy. I don't think the baseline difficulty is very well optimised either. Gonna finish the game but with permadeath on and maybe reduce the party size. We'll see. Part of it is where you are 'supposed' to be. I think a lot of people when faced with an open world sandbox just naturally ignore the main story quest, old habit from TES games perhaps ?. Anyway when you do get back to it it's laughably easy. The same goes for a lot of the optional city stuff.

Kaspersky detected trojan in pillarsofeternity.exe ?
I got several alerts on my Homeworld 2 installation. Happens all the time. Certain scrips and dlls are flags for your antivirus so it's treated as a virus just in case.

Indiana's Freedom of Religion Law..controversial ?
Religion is a loophole for a whole lot of behaviors that society nolonger condones isn't it, but would it be less invasive to forbid religion ?. I think not. The point, I think, is that you can't really legislate your way out of every unfair practice.

No luck with the 'AttributeScore' command. Others are working though.

Console Commands/Cheats
Figured it out. Stupid windows language bar only changes the active window.

Console Commands/Cheats
do you need -enabledeveloperconsole on the exe ?. Found the key. Didn't work. I assume you are supposed to see a console window ?. Steam version here.

XP and NPCs
Does anyone know how XP works. I've noticed that NPCs that aren't in the party get quest XP, and combat XP is pretty minimal. What I want to know is whether everything is divided or whether everyone gets the same lump. Say 1/6 of party XP for want of any actual figures. If it's divided that would give you a rather severe penalty for having created a large roster of NPCs. I don't actually mind that the game is pretty stingy with handing out XP, it cuts down on the grinding too when you get no XP for combat.

What are you playing now?
oHH good. I had been clicking them all afriad that I would miss out on a quest or something.

What are you playing now?
I'm still trying to understand the system. One effect of having AOE and duration hugely modified by stats is that AOE spells don't really work well if you have invested nothing to boost AOE. The same goes for the evade and a host of other abilites. It seems like Duration and AOE have been crammed into places where they don't really belong to balance the system. Druid shapeshift is ludicrously short for example.

What are you playing now?
PoE. It's hard but I'm liking it so far. Why is there no hotbar and why is the spell bar so tiny. With all the autopause the action menus need to be more functional. If you have to cast '12 magic missiles' it would work better if they were just one click away, but its two, well, mouse over the grimorie first then click but it's the same difference. Come to think of it, Why can't you queue up spells.

The Custom Portraits Thread
The standard here is 'use with permission'. Obsidian can't be a resource for material that is used without permission regardless of how used we have gotten to the concept of portrait packs. That means when someone reports that he is not happy with the use of his material that has to be respected.

Build Thread 2.0
Usually I would say 'spend that kind of money on a really nice monitor instead' because that's something that is going to improvr overall experience guaranteed, but we are right in the middle of the 4k shift.
