What are you most looking forward to?
I would have to pick the menagerie of pets. It's all about the pets. New story, setting, companions, upgraded graphics, expanded class options and more are just the icing on the cake.

POE 2 Suggestions
Raeya replied to armyrangr25's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Not realistic suggestions, but I'd like to see underwater exploration/combat and have companions and some key NPCs be fully-voiced.

Hat on cat is only a joke? That makes me sad.

Why the hype?
Well because it's a good enough game that deserves some hype and many people have been waiting for an RPG like this for years. As a customer, do your research and learn what the game is about. Watch some trailers or if you want to take the risk of spoilers watch some lets play on youtube or twitch streamers. There are so many ways to see what a game is like before purchasing it. It's the customer's own fault if they buy a game purely based on hype and then are disappointed with it.

Why does Obsidian have physical offices?
Kind of an odd question. Just speaking from personal experience, but I find things are more productive and easier to manage when you work with your team in person.

Still no Kickstarter badge
Same here, badge is not showing up. Sorry, I should have followed up on this sooner. If a mod could fix it, I would appreciate it!

Controversial Limerick Discussion
The only thing I will say about the memorial issue is I find it very rude to take the twitter shaming approach to try to get your way. Social media drives me crazy at times. I trust that Obsidian will make the right decision about this.

Found the game by chance... Wow!
Sometimes it's the best experience when you just happen to stumble upon something and it ends up wowing you.

Bioware Cookies!
Well that was cool of Bioware to do that. I'll bet some of the staff at Bioware are secretly envious of Obsidian returning to the roots of making good RPGs and not having a publisher hanging over them. I just want this to be Obsidian's time to shine and hope PoE brings enough success that they can continue making games in this genre.

I'm having a blast, guys.
It's been a great game so far. I just want to say that the writing is outstanding. Those of you choosing to not play because you don't like reading, well in my opinion you are missing out. I would like to see AI scripts eventually added for the companions, but that's about it.

Pillars of Eternity has now entered the top sellers chart on Steam!
Glad to see it's selling well! I hope it has a continued success after launch like Divinity Original Sin did.

The Official Romance Thread
I will say that it's a nice change to not have romance be an overshadowing emphasis in PoE. I am looking forward to the rich story, compelling companions and amount of choices that we will get in PoE, that is why I backed it. I want RPGs to focus primarily on great storytelilng and adventures, and not on how many romance options can be catered to everyone. Too many romance options is not a good thing in my opinion. I am using Dragon Age Inquisition as an example of that. I understand that many people want romance and I see the value of having it in an RPG, but if a game developer is going to do it then do it right. Provide a meaningful, mature experience for the relationship development between the PC and NPC instead of something that is awkward and lacking.

Official Keys Thread v 1.01
So has anyone found that your backer pledge tier does not match the pillars of eternity edition that you can redeem? What i mean by this is I pledged the "Retail Pack" tier during the kickstarter phase which includes all items in the Royal Edition. However my account states I can only redeem a key for the "Kickstarter Champion Edition" which does not include every that is listed in my pledge. I'm very hesistant to redeem a key through steam because of this. I did send a support ticket to Obsidian, but I am curious to know if anyone else encountered this or knows any more information that I am not aware of. Did I even make sense explaining this? Thanks!

GoG or Steam ?
I use both, but I have more games through steam that I play. I've used steam for several years and have never had any major issues with it so it will probably be my choice for this game.

Pointy Hats
Those hats in dragon age which I assume you are referring to were horrendous. I hardly ever have my character wear hats in RPGs because most of the time they just look plain stupid. Simplicity is the key in my opinion, developers shouldn't try weird, odd-shaped hats. Simple hats like a pointy hat is good enough.

Update #74: The Mob Rulers: Wizards and Druids and our Partnership with Paradox
Portraits look amazing. The inn is lovely and not to mention the lighting is superb. Classes are fleshing out nicely with some added diversity. So happy to see the game continue to progress in the direction it's headed. Keep up the great work Obsidian!

Update #72: Death Godlike and Expected Ship Date
Keep up the great work Obsidian! Environments are continuing to look great and simply amaze me at the talent on your team. I think having no more stretch goals as more content that can be saved potentially for a future expansion. At this point considering they have less than a year to finish the game for a projected late 2014 release only makes sense to not add in more content. Focus on what you have and make it the best it can be. Oh and I am truly loving the druid cat form, druids are one of my favourite classes and to add shapeshifting makes it that much better.

No romances confirmed
Surprisingly to myself, I welcome this news of not having romance. While I do think it can be a good thing to add into the enjoyment of an RPG, it's been rare to see a romance done well for the most part in my personal opinion. As long as the companions we get have great backgrounds, stories and dialogue and allow the ability to create meaniful bonds with our PC then I'm all for that instead.

New stretch goals for companions and wilderness areas?
I was hesitant to vote yes for more stretch goals because I don't want more content to interfere with the production for what's already planned. However, if you choose to do this, I would like to see more quality content for things like character progression, class quests and companion quests. This is wishful thinking, but even going as far as creating guilds similar to what the elder scrolls games do for the classes would be neat. My character, my class and my companions have always been the core interest for me in RPG games like this.
