Apologies, I was actually referring to player characters not npc and I wouldn't really call the followers in F:NV as player characters although some might argue they are. In addition I believe it is the romance-able characters people are taking issue with - not characters like Arcade and Veronica, tons of games have had gay characters in the game world and that is nothing new. I am pretty sure DA:I had the first gay PC, and by gay I mean only gay - not romanace-able by both gender. It doesn't bother me too much as long as there is an obvious mechanism to avoid any possible relationship whether straight or gay. I think what some people took issue with Bioware about was that the typical party in their recently games are mostly bi-sexual and it quite often gets in your face, even when they are not looking to pursue anything. For me personally, I found that in DA2 Bioware spent a lot of time on building a large number of romance options and that time should of been spent on actually making the game good and not re-using zone after zone. BG2 probably had a right balance for me, can't remember how many there were but i think it was less than 5 and they weren't very sophisticated and probably didn't take a lot of dev time - unlike the "cinematic" ones that bioware creates these days. Have you got an example of a gay player character that is romance-able in a game apart from Dorian? I'm guessing there might be a few in jrpgs or more obscure titles but I honestly can't recall any.

You do realise there is a big difference between a male prostitute and being gay? In addition, I'm pretty sure Bioware was credited with creating the first truly gay character in DA: Inquisition. Previously they had all been written as being romance-able by either gender, which is not actually gay. Oh, and to stay on topic, I'd love for him to just focus on Pillars 2 - can't wait to hear more about it and hope they go to kickstarter/fig.

If you have seen the movie "The Patriot" that explains why they get the bonus. Basically Mel Gibson uses a Hatchet and kills 100 british soldiers without getting hit once.

Sorry, I didn't understand your question. Could you eleborate? POE2 won't have any connections to BG except it's RPG and maybe some easter eggs. Importing POE character could be possbility. Depends of the timeline and story of POE2. In english "do a" means "to emulate". Veynn was effectively saying "Will POE2 have an import feature similar to how BG2 allowed you to import BG1 games?".

A whole lot of speculation in this thread. Let's just be honest, none of us really know exactly what the deal is. Who pays who, and who gets what cut.

Great news. Hope it continues to sell well and looking forward to WM p2 and the sequel

Sounds great. Maybe something that could be added as part of Part 2?

I'm thinking it could possibly be a corrupted .ini of .cfg file (whichever PoE uses). A steam full re-check probably wouldn't validate this file, similar to how it doesn't for Skyrim. Might be worth looking for the config file and deleting it. Normally these files can be found close to where you would find the save files. Did the re-install work?

Personally, I am happy to wait for the complete game. I haven't even played D:OS and WL2 despite owning them both since release. I fully expect to wait at least a year to play this but can't wait to enjoy the complete experience

qistina> I would recommend looking at Buck Rogers in the 25th century ruleset. RocketJock Engineer Rogue Medic Warrior + others I just played Alpha Protocol this month and I have to say that I would really like a sequel to that rather than a sci-fi game.

I haven't played PoE yet but I bought the expansion as part of the kickstarter and I am very pleased to hear about this. Looks like I will probably start playing in about 6 months when this gets released.

I just ordered the regular boxed edition ($65) and it came in a big cardboard box (20cm * 20cm * 20cm) with additional airbags placed inside. Arrived in flawless condition. Thanks Obsidian.
