    I've posted my thanks in this thread once before but, since the beginning is nigh and I probably won't be back to the forums for a while once the game is released, I thought I'd give another round of thank you's. Thank you again to everyone at Obsidian Entertainment! You guys and gals made true what most of us thought would probably never happen again: a return to the BG/BG2/etc. era of fantasy CRPGs. I've been waiting for this game ever since I finished Throne of Bhaal a long, long time ago and now we're all just a moment away from diving into an enchanting world again. Text-based interac

    Personally, I like solid UIs because I feel that a well-made, skeuomorphic one adds to the atmosphere. I guess they just look prettier to me than the "floating boxes" variety and I don't really mind not being able to move the different UI elements around. While some might dislike the fact that you can't see through the cracks, as Jarmo aptly put it, not having that extra bit of game-world on the screen isn't an issue for me. I think it's a great decision by the team to try and cater to fans of both UI styles by providing both options, everybody wins

    For what it's worth, I really like the conversation UI. It looks just like I was hoping it would.

    Thanks for the interesting update! It is becoming increasingly difficult to choose a class to start with as they all seem interesting in their own ways. I can't wait to see more of the creatures or more video footage. I like the portrait, too.

    Thanks for the excellent update, Brandon! Very informative. I like the water VFX and especially the rocking seaweeds. Everything seems to be right on track

    Wow! Everything looks really great, both the armor types and the areas. I can't wait to see more. This game is shaping up to be something special. Also, thanks for the extra information, Brandon!

    Thanks for the update, Rose (and Brandon)! The animations are generally looking really nice. The hips of the last creature seemed awfully static when walking which looks a little unnatural in my eyes, though. Maybe it doesn't make a difference when the camera is all zoomed out. I can't wait for the next update.

    I think that Feargus mentioned in one of the Rock Paper Shotgun articles that the writers are currently working on the companions. Plus, isn't the PoE team pretty small? For example, isn't Josh responsible for class and system designs and project lead-y/director-y stuff? He seems to be busy on fine-tuning the mechanics, the spell system and a whole bunch of stuff. I think most team members wear many hats and they are all probably still too busy on the main game and haven't started any real work on the expansion yet. This is just conjecture on my part, though.

    Looking at it, I got the sense that this is not an ordinary fireplace. That's not how wood normally burns. I think it looks like it could be a rock formation.

    Thanks for the update! Good job on the portraits, Kaz! I have to say I like Lars's aumaua portrait the most. The grin with the sharpened teeth look really menacing! The elf druid one seems to lack a little polish, though, but maybe it looks that way since it's blown up a bit compared to the other two. I really like the way the game is shaping up art-wise and I hope the animations will turn out nice and smooth so that the whole visual aspect will be consistently great. I'm really digging the spell list/naming, as well. About the druid spiritshifting, I'm guessing that assuming the spiri

    The latest update shows a concept piece of Galawain, the patron god of the hunt, with three animals at his feet. They look to be a dog, a bear and a staelgar (as described by Sawyer in another thread). As rangers are hunters maybe these three animals are included as choices when choosing the animal companion. The character sheet mock-up also mentions Sagani as a party member so if there was any doubt as to whether she was playable or not, I think it's fairly certain that she is a potential party member. Someone also speculated in the update thread that the Devil of Caroc (with the Most Tim

    Thanks for the great update! The character sheet and ruins look amazing! I assume Kaz made the UI mock-up so: Awesome job, Kaz! I think that you guys and gals are really nailing all the different visual aspects of a true successor to the IE games. I am very happy that I backed this project I really like the god concept art too and the Devil of Caroc intrigues me, as well. Every update is making me more and more excited. I can't wait for the next update Now it's time to go speculate some more in the ranger thread. Edit: I just wanted to add that I'm digging the experience bar on t

    I think it'd be interesting if the game determined your nickname. For example, choices in certain encounters or behavioral patterns might bestow a nickname upon your character. Stats could also affect the nickname, e.g. having low intelligence and therefore doing stupid things would result in the PC being called the Dunce of Dyrwood. Maybe the whole adventuring band could be given a nickname based on choices, e.g. being called the Yellowbellies if you are always running away from fights, etc.

    I'd like a squad/party based sci-fi RPG using a 3rd person view (maybe something like Wasteland 2).

    Happy Holidays everybody! Take it easy and be safe
