    Yeah. Because getting rid of the rest limit means nothing in the game will ever be challenging at any time. From what I understand, OP wants to rest as many times as possible without camping supplies. How does that NOT remove challenge? The OP want's the option of resting as many times as he wants without limit. That doesn't mean he's going to rest every five minutes, or remember to rest whenever damaged--nor does it mean he can't screw up and die in the middle of a battle. Rest spam was a common part of BG 1 and 2 for a lot of people, and nobody ever said they weren't challenging games.

    You hit one game-breaking bug by doing the quests out of order? Oh, my, what a buggy game. Exactly the same as VtM:B. How wrong I was in every way.

    There's 540 experience points total for unlocking the whole Bear entry in the Bestiary. They've unlocked some of it, so they have 66 out of the 540 XP points so far. At least, that's how I interpret that.

    The keys for pre-load should be out today or tomorrow. When the 26th arrives, you will download the full game separately from the BB.

    Neither was the Mona Lisa--when it was made. If they'd had scanners and photoshop back then, you bet your ass that ****er would've been copyrighted. Copyright laws are going to change again with the advent of 3d printing technology. I promise you that. When cabinets become digital, we will revisit this argument. Until then, we will continue laughing at this. As for 3D Printing... if anything, it (3D printing) halmarks the death of copyright as we know it, and I find it highly doubtful that it's going to be in favour of the cabinet-maker (in so far a 3D-modeler can be considered a "cabinet-maker"). I seriously doubt if copyright is just going to somehow die off. People like owning the products of their labor--whether that's a physical object or a design or whatever. Until we somehow get rid of the idea of personal property, copyright and owning your own work isn't going to magically disappear.

    Actually, I conflated you with another persons post...and I owe you an apology for that. Now I have to sort out of my rage might actually be targted at a gestalt person who doesn't exist....

    Nobody ever tells the guy making cabinets "Hey, you should just give those away--you know, it'll get your name out and really, you need to learn to let go of your products."
  10. Katarack21
    Bester is. That is exactly what Bester is saying. "I see a guy selling postcards with giant watermarks on them and I tell the guy to maybe not use watermarks." He also edited his long post about how you need to give up on your artwork and let it be free. It's bull****, and yeah--I'm angry. This makes me really angry. I hate watching people get attacked, when they are doing nothing wrong and in fact attempting to be nice, because of one guys self-entitled bull**** ideology.

    Somebody done got trolled.

    I probably wouldn't come back here again if I was her. So thanks, for that, people.

    I to prefer creative commons. But whether to use creative commons or full copyright is a personal decision; there is and should be no nebulous expectation that artists should give away their work. This retarded idea that you have to "give up on your art" and that anybody who posts their artwork without giving it away is some kind of arrogant jerk is just the worst kind of self-entitled bull****. And the worst thing is, nobody acts like that to anybody *except* artists--nobody says this **** to the guy building cars, nobody says this **** to the cabinet maker. It's always the painter, or the writer, or the musician that get's this crap. Like being creative means you're somehow lesser, and the thing you made somehow not worthy of the same rules of possession. Art is hard work. It's labor and time and skill and talent. It's also, for many, a very personal work that cuts very deep into the core of who they are. When an artist shows you their work, instead of nagging them to give it away or accusing them of being a ****, just appreciate some awesome drawings (or story, or music, or whatever), give some constructive criticism, and go on with your damn life.

    Whether it's derivative or not doesn't make what Bester is saying any less insulting or asinine.
  15. Katarack21
    Oh, no! Somebody likes to show their artwork and get credit for it! What a horrible, evil, selfish, arrogant, egotistical BASTARD they must be, amirite?
  16. Katarack21
    This kind of possessive, entitled bull**** is why artists don't like posting their ****. It's not yours, you don't have any right to it, there is no requirement or expectation that people give away their work for free, end of story.

    Both BG and BG2 had bugs when they were released and they both still do have unfixed bugs. Like there is some instances where quest triggers don't work right, quest ending conversations that you can loop for infinite xp, items which bonuses didn't disappeared when you took them of which in one instance in BG gave you ability to infinitively drop your AC. There is lot of instances where there are problems with how enemies are loaded to maps. There were doors that didn't always opened. There were also some instances where game just crash in some machines. And so on and so forth. They weren't most buggiest games that there has been, but they also weren't bug free games that didn't need patching to work as intended. There is NO SUCH THING as a completely bug-free game, not since the 8-bit era when a single guy could make a game in a week. I didn't mean BG 1 and 2 were some mythical perfect game; I meant they aren't buggy games and never were buggy games, you can play BG 1 all the way through and never once hit a noticable bug, regardless of patching or not. Same with BG 2; to compare that with KOTOR 2 or VtM:B is disingenuous at best.

    I get it. Basically the people whining about not having it yet are self-entitled children throwing a tempter tantrum.

    I can't quite visualize the personality right now, but that might be a good thing. Have you posted something about the start of the game making that non-discussing problematic? Or was that another slave-person(errr)? I have no idea were I red that, just reminded me of it. Don't get your hopes up. I just had to google "wild-eyed" and now I might never sleep.... (Well, it's 6:30am anyways..) Guy or girl though? Yeah, I'm not sure how it'll actually work out. I know there's the dialogue option at the beginning to set your biography, and part of that involves another character asking about your background choices. I know you can skip parts of the conversation, but I don't know if you skip it there if it never comes up again, comes up only rarely, or what. As for gender, I envision a male character but whom--do to the fur and the scars--is not necessarily easy to tell.

    Honestly, I just kind of figured that if I tried to leave the PoE forums, I might crash to desktop. EDIT: That was a cheap shot. Obsidian, I apologize.
  21. Katarack21
    There are boards not related to PoE here? Learn something new every day.
  22. Katarack21
    Actually I'd bet those people would need such a thing more. This is a type of game that hasn't been made for 15 years, remember.
  23. Katarack21
    That's always been my personal feeling, too.
  24. Katarack21
    Pacific time, right?
  25. Katarack21
    You're a parody of yourself at this point. Do you also get upset when other people you don't even know play their own copies of the game "the wrong way"? Damn straight! Minsc should use a two-hander. Anything else and you are just screwing up your game!!
