How can they solve the massive texture problems?
If you were to get your copy at Goold Old Games, you could use Free Download Manager or equivalent to download some of the game installer, pause, and then continue later. If people are facing a download limit per month, this could be worth it if done at the end of the month, which is when that download limit would reset to zero for the next month, soon after the partial download.

Obsidian and new IPs
Archmage Silver replied to GhoulishVisage's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm sure the team at Obsidian would like to work with original IPs as much as anyone in the gaming industry, but they need to get paid too, so it all depends on whether Project Eternity is a success or not. Obsidian could create another Kickstarter after Project Eternity, but I don't think that would fit in with their original plan, which was to kickstart Project Eternity and then move on to making more games like it, provided that the player base was there.

Should inactive NPCs get XP or not?
I think they should all gain XP, regardless of whether or not they are currently in the party. That's because I just don't enjoy micromanaging this particular side of party based RPGs. I do a lot other micromanaging with items and so on, which is something I actually like to do, because you can always sell/buy/swap items, whereas experience points are a once-only type of deal.

Armor class
I'd like to have armor class as a separate stat from dodge/reflex saves. AC should provide constant passive damage mitigation, but on critical hits it should have reduced efficiency, or simply be ignored. I see problems with it being ignored altogether though, so perhaps reducing its effectiveness against critical hits by, say, 50% would be a better idea.

The Powergaming Problem
Munchkin Mode is a must-have. At least for the second playthrough. Powergaming just adds flavor for those of us who want to partake in it.

If Project Eternity was turn-based...?
I like them both, so I would support PE regardless of which one it used.

The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 5
Archmage Silver replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Hello to both new & old members of the Obsidian Order of Eternity. It was a splendid and emotional run with Kickstarter, but it was also taxing for those of us who answered and posted comments on KS all night long almost every night. With that said, I'm taking a bit of time off from the forums to catch up with the stuff I was supposed to be doing during the KS campaign. You may not see many posts from me for the next few days, but I'll be back. Long live The Obsidian Order of Eternity
