You think it makes me feel better, that you're being a racist? That's really deluded..
Thank you, at least now I know that you are a moron who's incapable of detecting sarcasm.

Opinions that deviate from Obsidian fanboys = Troll
Noticing a possible design flaw = Troll
Criticizing their beloved Obsidian = Troll
Talking about real world races without the intention of being a racist = racist = Troll
I learned a lot from this forum about Obsidian members, thank you!
Orlans are orlans. They are not fantasy equivalent of little people. If female orlans are taller then they are taller. It's like telling Tolkien that goblins should be vegans, orcs should be pale and Eowina couldn't fight because she should be in the kitchen.
Your statement is racist and sexist to boot...stop that. Thats my thing!Human: Caucasian
Elves: Asian (intelligent, feminine look, long life span)
Dwarves: Scottish (accent)
Aumaua: African-american (muscular, rougher skin)
Trolls (warcraft): Jamaican (accent)
First of all, that has to be racist in some way. And if you argue on the terms of the game, why would you compare Aumaua to Africans? The game already has black humans.

None of these guys complained about racism, but somehow obsidian members do. This proves how close minded you guys are.
I don't know why you guys immediately use the racist card. Does it feel good to be a keyboard white knight who fights "evil racist" people like me?
Stop making yourself feel better by pointing every possible racist comment you see on the forum, it's embarrassing. It doesn't make you a better person.

Sexual dimorphism works both ways in a variety of species, and the female can be larger - I won't insult you by stating that you do not know this already, merely stating it so that were clear. I have not checked to see the size difference between the Orlan myself, but I shall take the fervour in this thread as reason enough to trust it.
But above all else:
1) This is fantasy
2) It can happen in our world such as in the Hyena family
3) It may well be a bug
To query is perfectly valid, to turn this into a fight is not. All you need to find out is which 1, 2 or 3 was the cause/reasoning. In the grand scheme of things, even relevant to this game forum, its not worth anyone's time to create equally antagonistic sides over it. Let's see if we can't get some developer feedback.
Thanks for your reasonable post. I was never trying to turn this into a fight, but the people here on Obsidian are apparently not mature enough to acknowledge opinions that deviate from theirs.
I was just pointing out a small detail I've noticed looking at youtube video's of POE. What other people's thoughts are about this and whether Obsidian did that on purpose or it was just a design flaw.
There is an inconsistency in the body size of the orlan (their muscles are not proportional to their length), so maybe it was a design flaw? These trolls have never even considered this might be true, instead they get all upset at me for mentioning that.

They use real world biology/ideology/human nature to create POE.LOL at using real world biology to bitch about fantasy creatures.
There is no real world equivalent of Orlans, Elves, Dwaves, Aumaua, or Godlike. Attempting to use real world logic to ascribe characteristics to these fantasy creatures is foolish.
I meant to say as a reference.
Human: Caucasian
Elves: Asian (intelligent, feminine look, long life span)
Dwarves: Scottish (accent)
Aumaua: African-american (muscular, rougher skin)
Trolls (warcraft): Jamaican (accent)
yeeaaahh, it's really foolish for game companies to use real world biology as a reference to create fantasy creature...small minded peeps...

Humanoid is not a category used in the real world at all. It's a term originating in science-fiction to describe superficially human-like non-human species. It does not mean any of the things you believe it does.
That wasn't even my point.....
And when did I use humanoid as a category???? You should really work on your reading comprehension. I guess that's not possible, if your IQ is not higher than a two digit number.

I hope they come up with a cure for people like you, someday....I really do, for your sake...
Anyways, I won't comment on your posts again. Too much stupidity for me to handle.

Humanoid means a generally human like bodybuild. There's nothing in that precluding females from being bigger, as long as they are roughly built like humans.(i.e. 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head, knees bend the same way etc.)@Azrael, the prodigy explorer: Except I'm talking about humanoid species and what makes you think I'm not aware of that. Ignorant people bother me, but that doesn't mean I'm not aware of your existence.
Don't call others ignorant while showcasing your own lack of knowledge. For a perfectionist, you don't seem terribly concerned about perfection.
Do I really need to spell everything out for people like you? Very well, I will explain:
In POE, you pick a race in character creation and (humanoid) race is a category used for human beings in our real world, so all the (humanoid) races in POE are a reflection of the races in our real world (causasian, asian, african or even apes). I said humanoid, because in our world we expect the male to be bigger than the female for every human(oid) race in general. Name one race in our real world, where females are bigger than males.
We tend to prefer to see familiar things in games, which we can relate to the real world. I don't think people would like it, if the color of the water was red or if females rule the world in a medieval setting for example.
Now you know why you are being called ignorant. You lack the interpretation of other people's opinion. When I said it bothers me that female orlans are larger than male orlans, you immediately assume I lack the awareness of other species (when in fact, I'm talking about humanoid races).

@Quantics: Hence, I'm not posting this in the bug section and have I mentioned the word bug? Oh wait, I just did that now for the first time!
Obsidian forum, such a nice place to have a discussion!
My initial answer is perfectly valid. There's so many things that are blatantly wrong in the current state of the game, and you complain about a race where females are taller than males, which IMO just serves to show your lack of imagination.
Especially since that the game you're talking about takes place in a completely imaginary world...
I just don't understand I guess.
So just because it's an imaginary fantasy world, it's make OK for Lineage 2 to make male dwarves look like old pedophiles?
So even if Obsidian made female elves much more muscular and taller (like an aumaua) than male elves, it's ok? Since, you know....it's an imaginary world.
You see what I'm getting at? You may disagree with me, but don't use imaginary fantasy world as your argument.
This is fantasy, they make races as they like. Female orlans are taller than male - this isn't even a problem, so there's no need to change it because you believe it should be the other way around for some reason (what reason I wonder?).
I'm pointing that out, because maybe it was a design flaw.
My reason has nothing to do with feminism, if that's what you are thinking. I believe the Orlan males should be taller for consistency of their build, since they are muscular. I believe that should be proportional to their length.

@Sedrefilos: If it doesn't bother you, then it doesn't bother you. It's not that difficult to understand.

Why is the Orlan the only race where the female model is taller than the male model? A small detail that bothers me as a perfectionist.

"I honestly can't see PoE selling a million, as great as I hope it will be. Isometric RPG, man.
Look at the D:OS sales, 150,000 so far? Certainly nothing to be sniffed at. We're a niche that want this kind of thing. The big money RPGs are the big shiny ones like W3 and DA:I."
If PE doesn't sell a million it's a failure. Isometric RPGs have sold over a million. Obsidian has released multiple games that have sold well over a million. This game has been heavily hyped in the gaming media. There is no excuse for this game not selling lots. DOS is a joke. The fanboys are overrating its popularity. They brag about 250k or so sales for it but ignore the fact that DD (the game it leeches from) sold over a million.
\
Bottom line is if PE can't reach million sales it be an EPIC FAIL.
Well, you can't really compare it to the older isometric RPGs (BG2):
1. POE has more competition, especially the big budget RPGs. While there weren't a lot of big games produced 15 years ago.
2. Nowadays, people prefer 3D graphics, while there weren't a lot of fully 3D games 15 years ago.
3. Isometric RPG doesn't appeal to today's standards. BG2 for example was a high end game in its time. The genre has now shifted towards a niche.
Just because a product used to sell well, doesn't mean it will do the same 10 years later.
It's like saying: Walkman used to be a huge succes, so if we reintroduce walkman with upgraded features, we should expect approximately the same salesfigure.

Is it me or are people at Obsidian forum all white knights who never pirate software? (and it doesn't make sense when you justify it by saying you only download music or movies, but not games , pirate = pirate)
Because, I don't know a single person in my life who doesn't download illegaly. None of my relatives, friends or colleagues watch Game of thrones on HBO. Even a friend of mine, who is a software developer doesn't think twice before downloading music, series, movies or games. None of the students at my university mind sharing PDF version of a book for free. So I find it really hard to believe.
If people pirate, let them. There is nothing you can do to stop them. This simply means that you need to accept that the world is changing. Companies/artist have already accepted that by adapting to it (online gamplay modes/concerts).
My question to the people on their horses: Have you never pirated something in your life? Because I find it hard to believe that you have never even downloaded a song illegaly.
But don't worry though, I am planning to back POE (haven't done it yet, because I'm still considering whether to buy the physical or digital edition). Obsidian is the only company who is trying to revive the classic isometric RPGs, so I would totally support them by buying their games and I really hope that they continue doing this. Can't say the same for companies like EA though

Nice update, these two classes sounds very interesting, especially the chanter class
Don't like the Aumauau chanter though, can't tell whether it's a male or a female (leaning more towards a female). I hope (s)he is not a companion though.

I still don't get it. It's an in game achievement and item for being a backer at the time. The same as nobody can't request Blizzard to hand out those achievements when they were current 3 years ago. And there's many examples of other games where you may have received an in game item (eg. World of Tanks beta tank) or achievement during that specified time. The time has passed.
I don't post a lot (only here for the PoE updates), but dear God, how small-minded can you and Bryy be? Yes It's an kickstarter only item, but maybe (maayybbeee, Just maaaayyyybeeeee) some players want to collect all the items ingame? Is it that hard to comprehend?? Come on, I thought you at least had a 3-digit IQ to understand that.
Well, as I see it, for those who are not Kickstarter backers the item efficiently doesn't exist in-game (in-their-copy-of-game). Compare with, say, games where different editions have different content (such as Final Fantasy X).
And ~50% people have IQ not greater than 100 (by the very nature of IQ), you know?
Well there you have it, the explanation for the rising popularity of shows like Jersey Shore, Geordie Shore or any other fake reality MTV shows.
I don't mind though, because I need these people (when I become the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company) to clean my toilets (bry interested?).

Oby, stop violating the rules or I'll report you. This thread is not meant to be a replacement for the ''hopefully attractive women'' thread that got locked thanks to your pathetic trolling.
Its about talking about OUR fitness stuff here.
Accept this or LEAVE and make your own thread.
If you actually watch the video, you can maybe see some workout tips. How is he trolling? Then, I could also say you are trolling for having a bad taste and posting ugly manly women in ''hopefully attractive women'' thread. Boring thread anyways XD

Bruce, you are a very naive Bioware fanboy, unable to see that DA:I is just some generic action rpg where you spam ability with MMORPG quests. Even if we look beyond the game play, the game hasn't been received positively storywise according to most reviews. Basically a DA2 in a bigger world.
I'm curious why you even backed POE. Dragon age is supposed to be the spiritual successor of the IE games, but Bioware is trying really hard to move away from the formula as far as possible and you support them.
If more people like you support their games, then that means that Bioware will continue make crappy games and this is the reason why IE games are not made anymore. Thank you naive Fanboy.
