woe is the life of a bastard

And no one is going to scroll down to see my superior ship name either...

​ ​The economy was rough in Dyrwood. The coastal nature of Deadfire makes it a far more lucrative hub of trade. I'd expect the funds to be less tight.

Fast combat doesn't even bother me tbh.

5 year old laptop running linux. Doesn't melt mine either.

​Dynamic weather! ​ ​

Ah yes, straight white cis affluent settler people. Because everyone can write them, but they can't write anyone else. Because that is the issue. Not that human beings suffer colossal deficiency of knowledge and inability to grapple with the world around them. Sure privilege exists, but using identity politics to dehumanize anyone who's identity correlates with privilege as being inherently incapable of understanding is a great way to form your rhetoric and semantics. ​ ​Just in the freaks thread Micamo you claimed that sane people are incapable of writing insane people. It's like all you care about it elevating your own identity to a special place. I bet it feels really good to do so. It's probably the same high white supremacists feel when thinking about their own identity.

​ ​People certainly will. But I'll issue the obligatory "let's wait and see first." ​

Attributes are arbitrary in my mind. They aren't there to role-play, they are their to build the up the machinations that underly the game.

"the pen mightier than the sword" ​ ​see, it makes sense

With multi-classing I don't think the 5-party system will be an issue.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the terminology that is being used. I think tag-along, abettor, follower, or adherent all fit better.

Wait, what's tomorrow. I don't have the day off...

​Well it does slow down towards the end, additionally so on weekends. I'm guessing their will be a moderate push in the final two days. Especially the last day.

​ ​A lot of assumptions about writers, them being sane and ****ing up insane characters and more. Not only do I find tormented characters often do know something is wrong and do try to self-correct. Sometimes only holding themselves together by a thread. But there are also legitimate human qualities that give way to qualities of reveling in one's own madness or in one's own mind that justify that other character type. Sociopathy, narcissism, and qualities of ego as such, etc. ​ ​I get you want a character that basically reflects yourself back in the mirror. But your complaint that characters when written somehow isn't coming from the writers own knowledge and experience but is instead simply a flawed attempted characterization some "proper" classification of a person type is just baffling.

​I think this is the idea. Sidekicks don't come with the promise of multiplicative reactivity which is based on the newly expanded relationship system.

​Have we forgotten so soon? Dwarves are hard to reach.

Well with fig reserved funds we're sitting at $3.7 million dollars pledged. Then why we're rushing for the 3.0 mil still? ​Cause they are running a campaign and it makes financial sense to make us earn the stretch goals. They are basically matching pledges with investment funds.

​Yes yes yes! I very much agree. I can get fiesty wanting more and better of everything. But I think stock portraits are an important thing to expand. Even though you only really end up using one out of the lot on each playthrough. Hopefully they carry over all the portraits from the last game just as they have done in BG2, which should help add even more choices. ​ ​Allowing players to use custom portraits is cool, but I find I really enjoy the standardized art style. There are very few custom portraits that have the art style I'd want to use and even fewer to be found for a given race. Especially if you want an Orlan or Aumaua.

Well, I might be wrong though. But I was under the impression that stronghold was in the game and they would give an update about it later on in the campaign + a possible stretch goal to enhance it. ​I think they just mean we will learn what the "stronghold" is come next update. Just how we got to learn about the city this time, and the cover art companions before that. The next stretch goal won't necessarily be related to the stronghold. Given everything we've heard, the next goal is the 8th companion.

​ ​ ​ ​ ​Have you seen Ponyo. Paleozoic life works great for this sort of thing.

​ They still have stronghold update + stretch goal involving that stronghold to announce which I would place at 3.5M, thus having a nice boost early on next week for the campaign and leaving the 8th companion at 3.75M or at 4M with a cool concept that would lure in more people. ​I was sort of under the impression the "stronghold" wasn't getting a stretch goal because it was included in the base design layout of the game. But I certainly look forward to the update on it and whatever stretch goal may get attached.
