I've never played the original IE games, so perhaps I don't have the nostalgia effect. I'm just looking at it from a "do i want to play this game or not" feel. I do feel that the game needs a little bit more glamour - not so i have more "screen shaking," but that I can simply tell what my characters are doing, who they all are, and to get more feedback from the actions I am taking. That shouldn't be a bad thing, just because it's not like the original(s).

Just a few more thoughts after watching this again - 1) Damage numbers need to be bigger and last a split second longer. 2) Spell casting needs the casters to have some preliminary spell effects. The animations are so weak that it's hard to really distinguish that "that guy's casting a spell" or not.

Livestream's recording will probably be added to youtube or twitch later. http://www.twitch.tv/twitch/b/557643505 Starts at about 1:05:00

1) The Game looks really awesome 2) On certain backgrounds, the characters look just god awful and hard to distinguish from the floor (the town road) 3) Some of the armor or cloth hey are wearing just looks so incredibly generic. This is a fantasy game. 4) The Characters need way more animation work. As someone who is just WATCHING, there is no cinematic feeling whatsoever as I can't even tell who is doing what. Spells are being cast, but I couldn't even tell who was casting what at first glance. Some particle effects would go a long way to really distinguish who is doing what. 5) What was with no traits/feats? Those are by far my biggest concerns. I cannot wait to play this game. I bring up only the negatives because why bring up all the awesome positives?

If you do, and you're looking for ideas about some things to make, i'd be generally interested in character creation, feats/traits, level-ups, and the "advanced statistics" page. What is the youtube channel?

Hey guys. If you're planning on streaming the beta, please post the following - Difficulty: Class's You Likely Focus on: Schedule: Name: Twitch Address:

I really dont like that rangers are being pigeonholed into range. I know that's the typical lore, but with the idiot wizard and hyper intelligent barbarian being toted around, I was hoping a melee ranger build would be just as viable as a ranged one, but if we give them a 15+ accuracy at ranged, well that just in a sense, forces you into ranged. And my god I hope there are more pets than just that :D - Also, the wolf should really get a "Pack Animal" bonus, not a speed bonus. (More damage and defense when within proximity of the ranger, or something of that sort).

Sawyer already said stamina being renamed endurance.

The way moving your character feels in the game can really make or break a game. A good feel makes the game feed silky and well polished, but a sluggish, poorly implemented pathing system makes the player feel hamstrung and bogged down in something that they should not even be thinking about. Good luck guys, do your best!

I really don't like this from a roleplaying standpoint - The guy who hits really hard happens to kill people, but no, they dont get status effect impairments from getting smashed in the head - but that smart guy who doesn't hit very hard, well - he gives you one hell of a headache despite not killing you. It just seems a little silly to me.

Maybe this sounds awful to a lot of you, but I hope a mod comes out that lets us re-roll our companions. I really like having control of every aspect of my champions. But I'm also one of those players who gets overwhelmed with too many party members, and probably wont run around with more than 4 or five total.

I did not say might had to increase attack speed...

Is it just me or would others like to see some statistic linked to attack speed? Thematically, I don't like the brawn attacking as fast as the brain.

for some reason my mind drifts to spooky seaman....

Tower of Intimidation - The Fighter, Barbarian, or Paladin reduce the constitution and might of enemies in melee range by 1. (Resolve 14, Might 14) Zealot's Fury - Upon casting a limited use offensive spell, the Paladin's next auto attack is free, with an improved chance to critically strike by 20% (Might 15) Shield of Faith - The Paladin receives a blessing, divine or from the inner soul, veiling him or her in a shield that protects the Paladin for 20% of maximum stamina, lasting until it is destroyed. The shield is deployed any time the paladin reaches 20% stamina, and has no cooldown. (Resolve 16+) Die By The Sword - Upon falling in combat, the Barbarian casts a free auto attack on any near-bye enemies, fighting even from the grave. Duelist - The Ranger, Rogue, Barbarian, Paladin, And Fighter receive a 10% accuracy bonus and a 5% defensive bonus against targets in melee range. (Dexterity 14+) Dancing Death - "Like a leaf dancing on a bloody wind." Duel wielding masters attack with a flow and fervency unlike any other. Reduces the rest period between attacks by 15% and accuracy by 5%. (Dexterity 16, Might 16) Cataclysm - 2 handed blunt weapons have a 25% chance to knock their opponent down upon critical strike (Might 12). Calming Breeze - Upon receiving a critical strike, or being struck at ranged, the victim channels calming thoughts, reducing his or her chance to be interrupted by 35% for 6 seconds. Zig-Zag - Increases the miss chance of ranged attacks by 20% against the user while moving, and 5% while not. Executioner - Significantly Increases critical strike chance and critical strike damage against enemies below 20% stamina while using a 2 handed weapon.

I agree with this attitude, but the super nerd in me enjoys making this stuff up. So here's another: Ranger's Patience - If the Ranger hasn't taken damage or received negative effects, or moved within the last 10 seconds, he receives a 50% chance to crit when flanking. (15+ Perception)

I just remember back in the day you could strategically kill some NPC's or shop owners for their loot in games like Fallout or Arcanum. I never did it unless I could awesomely justify it in my head, but it was always fun to think about. That's good to hear on both accounts. I'd hate to have to kick away a companion I like because he/she simply did not fit my combat requirements.

I just sort of took this for granted, but can you mass slaughter towns/merchants for free loot etc? I never liked doing this, but i always liked that you could do this. Secondly, do you control your companions level-ups or is it automatically applied? I hope it's the earlier.

The Path of Blood - Upon landing a killing blow, the barbarian enters wild sprint at no cost. (Resolve 15+) Blood Pack - When attacking the same target as it's pet, the Ranger receives a 5% accuracy bonus and a 5% bonus to melee damage. Separate the Weak - When attacking isolated targets (targets within XYZ distance of an ally), a rangers or his pets attacks slow the movement speed of the enemy by 20%.

How The Mighty Have Fallen - Critical strikes against targets now have a chance to knock them down, the chance being determined by the enemies might x2. Must have 15 Perception to purchase this trait. Jugernaught - Reduces the heavy armor penalty by 1% per point in endurance and resolve. Deadeye - Gives the user a 25% chance to reduce interrupts with equipped with a bow, crossbow, or throwing implement. Phalanx - Gives a defensive bonuses for having a shield equipped, a spear equipped, or when standing next to an ally. This bonus is further increased if your ally also shares this secret knowledge. Momentum - Increases your run speed as you run further. Pursuit of Justice - Increases run speed significantly when an enemies back is turned to you. The Flow of Battle - Increases attack speed as you land hits, significantly for crits, and incredibly for killing blows, for a short duration. Last Stand - damage increases as you fall near death. Underdog - Increases your endurance and might by 1 for every level an enemy you are fighting is above you, up to a maximum of 2 each. Unstoppable - Critical damage is now applied over five seconds instead of immediately. If this damage would have killed you, you shrug it off. (Barbarian Only, 10+ Resolve) Never Show Your Back - Through the experience of many fights, the fighter has learned when to slip in the deadliest of blows to fleeing enemies - Fighters now have +20% chance to critically strike on disengagement strikes, and 25% increased damage. Lead Through Example - Fighters, Paladins, Barbarians, upon landing a critical blow, increase their allies likelihood of landing a critical blow on their next attack by 10%. Eye for An Eye - Fighters, Barbarians, Paladins, return a free attack upon being critically struck (Resolve 12+) Eager to Fight - Recovers from disables, knockdowns, and controls much quicker (Resolve 14+) Attack of Opportunity - Upon dodging or deflecting, slip in a free glancing blow (Dexterity 11+) Improved Attack of Opportunity - Upon dodging or deflecting, slip in a free blow that cannot crit.

Do an extra .5 flat damage on any attack up to a maximum of 9 (based off intellect x1/2, Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Paladin only). Gang Up - A free attack on any enemy that has been knocked down within current melee range. Blade Turning - Increases deflection chance by 10% when not equipped with a shield. Improved Blade Turning - Slip in a free glancing blow upon turning an attack Masters Blade Turning - Slip in a free blow upon turning an attack, with an improved chance to critically hit by 10%. (Dexterity 15) Weighted Blows - Increases damage with melee weapons and melee attacks by .5 per point of endurance. Rangers Resolve - No rest penalty for switching to melee weapons (Ranger, Resolve 11+) Rangers Steel Resolve - A rangers first melee strike will always be a critical strike (Ranger, Resolve 13+, Must have Rangers Resolve). Quick-Draw - After applying a critical strike with melee weapons, the next ranged attack that is not a glancing blow will be a critical strike on the same target with enhanced damage. Hot-Swap - No rest penalty for switching to ranged weapons.

Just my two cents. At first I was a little put off by this because I'm one of those players that really likes to focus on the tactical combat. There will be little stealth in my group, and fighting will be our bread and butter. I'm one of those min-maxers that really enjoys slaughtering hordes and getting exp for it. Puzzles and stealth do not allure to me. But how the dialogue system works, and how there are no "bad" fighting builds, I'm actually excited to play the game this way. I can't just grind mobs, but will have to focus on optimizing equipment, handling quests proficiently, having to manage money (hopefully), and optimize my party in a way that works for me. As I plan to play on the hardest difficulty I can tolerate, I'm actually excited to try out the no exp for kills method.

Oh that's great. I love good Let's Plays.

Because quite frankly I'd like to watch or stream it.
