Since obsidian Screwed Up the Godlikes Royally, I had to adjust the portrait to fit the Moon Godlike in the game better. Here they are if anyone else wants to use them.

Easy fix for Load times is to install the game on an SSD. Load times will be atrocious in most games if you are still using an old hard drive.

This is a minor gripe but I can't fathom why they went this direction. The Moon Godlike heads have changed to such an extent that Portraits that worked perfectly well for Moon Godlikes in the first game no longer match the Character models for the Moon Godlikes at all. There isn't even an option for Pink or Purple hair to try and get the character to at least somewhat resemble the portrait. All the hair colors are blue or white. I am specifically referencing this male Godlike portrait: And the closest male head is the one on the right: As you can see, completely different.

Right. Likely a gimmick party like a cadre of Rifleman Chanters or some-such.

The first time the character loses all their endurance and they fall unconscious, they recover some of their endurance and get on their feet again to continue fighting. It's a pretty good enchant, especially for a tank .

Playing a moon godlike I am finding it fairly easy to roleplay. People around me are spooked by my "status" from time to time as the watcher and the magics tied into the role fit well with the color scheme. The miniature space piglet also goes quite well with my character. I am pretending that part of the reason I was spared was because of my Moon Godlike nature. I haven't run into any specific reactions to Moon Godlike yet but I assume they will come with time.

Congratulations on making 92 Friggin Updates to your backers packed with information and insight. You guys are paragons of crowdfunding and I hope I get the opportunity to participate again.

I've personally convinced a few old fogies to buy it since they happened to be completely unaware of the resurrection of the cRPG. Millions bought the games back in the day. There are plenty of fans out there who are clueless about Pillars. I think the sales bump is mostly the fault of the Paradox Plan, however. (Giving streamers access) . Giant Bomb just had a Quick Look, and that probably pushed it over the edge. Second wind will be when reviews hit! Many sites seem to be using their Infinity Engine Game fans as reviewers, so the outlook looks good.

It's a fight she won't win. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it would be better if the artist just accept it and let everyone enjoy her work for whatever purpose they deem most satisfactory. In this day and age, the audience wins, the end. Every alternate portrait in this thread that is sourced from an unnamed artist is proof of that. The creative commons is common to all regardless of the wishes of content creators, and there is no taking it back the moment the pixels hit the network. do you think if you're a big enough **** to her she'll give in and "set her work free" according to your "mandala code" or whatever, or are you just doing it for the pleasure of being a ****? is it so hard to credit someone's work? her name is already on the image! it takes more work to erase it! I'd rather convince someone through calm rational discourse then resort to insults and superlatives. I'm simply relating reality. If you review my posts I haven't explicitly broken her wish to preserve copyright, merely suggested that such efforts are fruitless and damaging. It honestly makes me sad to see to see another artist get upset about this sort of thing. She is very talented, and It would be tragic if she stopped producing artwork because of a misconception regarding how content ownership works in the age of information.

It will be possible, just really difficult. Obsidian isn't making it hard to mod the game, in fact they have a partnership with Nexusmods. I'd expect some decently impressive mods in a year or so.

I usually prefer to go into games blind, but not with PoE. It's simply too large a game to have the experience marred by too much pre-exposure. The infinity engine games are marathons meant to be enjoyed for months if not years. This game looks to be the same. A little pre release hype won't touch that.

This work?

I'm perfectly fine with them never implementing multiplayer. I personally can't become immersed in an RPG while playing with a friend. They always ruin the narrative or get impatient. This is coming from a long time GM of tabletop rp games. I understand the value of group play, but it just doesn't work in videogames if you want to be invested in the story.

The only thing this video proves is that the mechanics aren't explained very well to new players.

If I can't think of a name right away, I turn to history and other languages. Here is how I named my a character Prestogy: I looked for words in other languages that translated well from "trick" or "fraud" and suchlike. I settled on praestigium, which is latin for "Magic Trick" or Illusion. Praestigium is a bit of a mouthful so I turned to the modern form of the word, Prestige, or the colloquial Presto. It's a little tasteless naming a character after modern form language however, so I looked for another word to compliment Presto. I settled on Prodigy. Presto + Prodigy = Prestogy. I used an o instead of an i in the form for it to better mimic the actual pronunciation of Prodigy (which is often pronounced Prod-oh-gee).

There are as many types of godlike as there are gods, and likely more. Pallegina exemplifies this fact. Avian are likely rare, and the writer wanted her to have a unique origin, which is fair enough.

Why wish when you can start today? Sucking at something is the first step on the road to being skilled. Every time you make something that sucks, that another lesson in what *not to do*. Give it a few years and you will hardly suck at all! Source: Was horrible at lots of cool things, now I am not so horrible. That's not entirely true. Skill and desire take you so far; talent takes you the rest of the way. There are also certain physical and medical conditions that can limit your ability; for example, I have sever tremors so therefore, I will never be capable of drawing a straight line. That doesn't mean I'll never be able to draw, but it does mean that all the time and dedication in the world will never allow me to draw a "correct" stickman. As a stereotypically talented person I don't believe in talent. Physical disability is a whole 'nother ballgame, but I firmly believe that every (average) human being can learn to do whatever they please. My belief is backed up by scientific evidence on the psychological side of things. Most people underachieve because they believe they cannot achieve, not because of any built in limitation. The brain is ridiculously malleable, you just have to force it to change. Anyway this is a digression. If you'd like to chat more about the topic please PM.

Umoderated Hells such as the steam boards are not worth visiting. They are a hive of 11 year old scum and casual villainy.

As a creative myself, I have to tell you that there is value in your work beyond self promotion. I tend to follow the Mandala Creed, wherein one's creative works should not be hoarded but instead set free to allow as many people as possible to enjoy the work. The moment you become paranoid about 'keeping' the work you have already created is the moment you start losing the ability to create more. This isn't anti sales either, as the moment you sell a work of art you must also let it go. You shouldn't expect the people here to look and not touch. I could erase your watermark in seconds without damaging the original background and post it here cropped and ready to be used in game within about 10 minutes. I won't because you haven't given permission, but I find that extremely silly. I'd rather you do it yourself. I implore you to feel confident enough in your artistic ability to distribute your work freely, everyone here will love you for it.

By the way if anyone wants a portrait tweaked (hair or skin a different color, etc) send me a PM and I'd be happy to help. I consider myself a photoshop wizzard.

It's unfortunate that Medium armor is essentially RP armor, but medium armor has had this problem in a large amount of games. I for one hope Obsidian takes a second look at armor to resolve this issue. For now I am just going to grind my teeth and do my best to ignore it when I play the game proper. The robes especially will break my brain since my Main is going to be a wizard. But.. I'm.. 15%.. slower... noooooo....

Here are two I found (and modified), one for a Nature Godlike and one for Moon.
