Update #62: Production 01 - State of the Project
Great update, thanks for the detailed information! Re: UI. I like it, it's organic, and it doesn't really distract you, although I'd think about leaving the bottom part of the wood without nails, there are quite a few of them now. The nails in the corners could be replaced by carvings. As for the dialog itself... it's a bit heavy on the quotation marks right now IMO. You could use brackets, italics or equivalent for actions, descriptions etc., so you wouldn't have to use quotation marks for the actual character speech options. Summary: Less nails, more carvings. Less quotation marks, cleaner & clearer dialog.

Wondrous Items in Project Eternity
I like this topic, I've always enjoyed coming up with items (and modding them in after one playthrough where possible). So, let's see... Mask of the Eighth Circle. Prevents Ciphers from reading your mind (dialog). +2 Intelligence. Increased chance to resist mind control spells like Dominate, Charm, and Confusion. Stone Shield of Aigon +3. Medium Bonus to AC. Makes you immune to Paralysis and Turn to Stone effects. Requires high strength. Staff of the Restless Seas +4. High attack roll bonus. Cast Depths Below once per day (summons the drowned dead). Cast Summon Water Elemental (Large) once per day. Waterbreathing (don't need to drink potions of Waterbreathing). The Old Man's Drinker +2. Assassin's dagger, which steals life force from your target proportional to the damage done, healing you. Can be used against party members. Ineffective against undead and creatures without blood. 5% chance to summon a Shade, which may turn against you if your health gets too low. The Red Ring. Cursed, can't be removed. Bonus to Strength, Health, and Intimidation. 30% chance to succumb to bloodlust when in combat or provoked in dialog, ending the conversation in violence. If under bloodlust while in combat and the enemy surrenders, you slay them.

Option to disable level cap?
I don't think this should be a game feature for balance reasons. It's highly probable that a mod will accomplish this very soon after the release anyway.

Armour & weapon designs - a plea (part IV).
Archmage Silver replied to Rosbjerg's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Hm... I wonder if Bethesda would let Obsidian get away with similar designs given their working relationship? ...

Project Eternity enters production?
What, you're worried about the game? Pff. It'll be great. What I want to know is, how is Tim Cain's Cookbook coming along?! Pasta with ogre-green pesto, troll(ing) tofu, goblin edition guacamole, wizard's tower cake, dragon's breath drinks... the possibilities are endless! ... Jansen turnip pie.

Which games have the best companions. What makes them good?
The Baldur's Gate series. Minsc & Boo, Edwin and the rest! I can't help myself... Tiax Rules! (I don't know why the video has Black Isle all over it - BioWare was the developer, although Black Isle did help Interplay with BG's publishing.)

Small suggestions. Easily implemented ideas, quickfire thoughts.
For male characters, an ability/item to toggle beard/mustache on and off. Add an appropriate in-game cooldown if you want more realism.

The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 6
Archmage Silver replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Sooo... Game of Thrones coins, anyone else backing it? You could get an iron coin of the Faceless Man from their eighth pressing. OOoE and eight go together, no?

What would you do if the game begins like this? :D
Nah, I know it'll start on a ship. Then the ship crashes and sinks, and you'll wake up on a beach, but you're tied to the ground with stakes and rope by some wild orlans. I got this information directly from my Subway cashier's second cousin's brother's best friend's internet acquaintance.

Evil - how far should PE go?
Re: How far should PE go? I'd say include the elements that support the overall story and gameplay, but don't go adding crap if its only value is shock value.

The Kickstarter Thread
Ok, this one is about currency... namely coins. Westeros coins. Westeros as in the Game of Thrones. I've just backed them myself, and I've got to say, those coins look pretty darn good! They're also minting some coins based on Pat Rothfuss' work. Take a look and decide for yourselves if this is worth your support: Game of Thrones Westeros "Golden Dragon" Coins @ Kickstarter

"Slacker Backer" needs a new name
Archmage Silver replied to Frenetic Pony's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Post-Kickstarter Backer Syndrome or PKBS. It's real, it's serious. Like Dr. House serious. Your car crashing through a supermarket's seafood counter while you jam to the tune of Irenicus & You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth and wear a funny hat kind of serious. Word!1

Fulfilment site?
Archmage Silver replied to CrazyPea's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The fulfilment site will be online well before the game & goods ship, so you'll be able to change your details in time.
