I am glad that they took the "add-in content" choise because I really dont like the idea forces you to play entire game then offer new gameplay. The bigger the world you can travel without restrictions, is better. My only concern is the empiniess feeln', like in vanilla PoE.

There is going to be optional level scaling for each level(map,area).

well the only reason I continue to follow forum because of my muscle memory makes me. Years of following... but still I dont see a reason to hyped about this expantion but I would like to see this project end well, so I can continue play like these games for years to come. I would be much hyped If there is going to be complete overall remake (like enchanted edition thing) but I dont think It will come soon. Also I seen very few people who tried bashing most of the criticisms were well put concerns.

Dude the comentors have zero idea about PoE. ... "I have level 15 party..." what a ****************

only %8.2 people finished the game so..

maybe sneaky takeover?

And you think it's reasonable a "smart" AI could miss the battle going on 10-20 meters away? Ever? In your game, you are the only person in the world. Oh wow, how irrelevant, when design decisions affect every player's game, as in all "worlds". Does this nauseating level of blatant sophistry not make you, I dunno, punch yourself or something? Yes, the crucial point, as I explained, is that there is no button anywhere that lets me enable smart AI that will not randomly leave loose mobs scratching their ass in the back of the room while I aggro their buddies. Yeah, duh, every single design decision they make will be liked by some and hated by others. The CRUCIAL POINT again is that there is no choise for us to enable proper group AI for the enemy so this decision has been made in a way that, in your words, "ruins the game for (us) others". How do you write this stuff and not see the irony? I think you are having a bad day but I'm sorry I cant continue to discuss with you because I can only understand so little from what you are sayn.

@manageri Why are you fixing your thought process only "We vs Them, They wants to not fix the exploits,bla bla" From what I understand reading the topic, most people wants a smarter AI at first place? Perhaps Its just people doesnt want a workaround for this "problem" like; giving them hp regen or fast move spead or other bizarre "buffs". Just make a good simulation the rest will come around later on. I mean why shouldnt AI uses the same tactics when Its low in numbers? or when our party gathered close why not AI uses a powerfull AoE spell or somethin? There can be lots of ideas to play with but simulation side is very shallow for todays gaming specs. Look we are even discussing the oldest trick in the world of gaming and It works on AI. On a side note I'm not agreeing your "SP does not mean YOU ARE THE ONLY PLAYER IN THE WORLD" argument?! based on a simple fact that when you are playing a single player game, you are the only "person" in that world.

Because It is about beating the game. Trying every "dirty" tactics wont kill the immersion Its the combat do what you have to survive! Infact faking every fight to be "honorable" is kinda borring. Ruleset is allready very firm and with addition of "right-click-AI" Its very linear fight system. True balance can only be achieved with smart AI, using situational tactics. Because Its a singleplayer game, the only balance is Man vs AI scale. If It was an online game rules should be more important to balance. Also lets not forget one big thing, games are for fun and beating AI is fun. Let me remind again; AI and Its capibilities is the key here.

Gee! Obsidian Forums becomes depressing every week

It's all going according to the plan.

As I, most people stopped playing at act2 which is the game begins to crack.

Thanks. Yea I thought Its only hotfix 2mb but Steams drm thing sometimes makes updates very huge. I thought that was the case

What is this?

give It to a charity

If only somehow AI gets some intelligence and use some tactics, game could be balanced. But at this point AIs level of intelligence is cant pass backgammon tactics.

My crazy teory is Obsidian only wants you catch those speedrunners. Couse I was confused aswell.

The tecnical side was "well done" = Graphics + Music + Sounds -cutsenes - Idle Animations. But combat is %60 of this game and Its not fun as game progress. Seeing this documentry makes me feel more upset for the efford graphics and music team put in the game and (almost) butchered by the repetitive combat. Usually we see superb gameplay which lacks good tecnical side but in this case It changes side. ...really liked the documentry; good editing.

There is gona be at least one expansion for this game, so they still have long way to go to "completely balance" the game. Also I mentioned this before but I guess Obsidian wont take more efford to allow patch downgrading which Steam offers as a service; after big changes to the balance It could ruin hard playthoughs drastically.

I dont belive there is censorship going on in games. There are just markets and consumers picks whats more appealing to them. Not all the markets wants darker, sinister, gore or erotic in fact. Maybe we could say marketing or PR people stops or changes the decisions what creative team makes. But Its only ment to figuring out whats best for aimed market. As Kojima said in some time "We had to bring more gore and push more buttons as tv-shows and films If we want to compete in entertainment industry" This infact a natural way to be "meta" change. Its not meaning that industry dosent produce much vulgar games at the past (Fallout) , Its about targeting markets, as now kids, teens or young adults know much more about sex, drugs and gore at very early age. That makes the biggest target group in the gaming industry. The voice acting this type of game is less demending by this market. Since this projects only purpose to bring back "old" infinity engine games feeling, I think Its waste of resources. Imagine a game options menu has "you can turn off the voice acting" do you really think voice acting is important for this kinda audiance?

I've yet to see a game warns before launch "Masturbation may change the game experiance" ...so that people can enjoy more "freely"

at last we get some Tim Cain Love

I would rather throw money for more animations idle/cinematic than voice ovvers but again didnt we allready give money at first place? intrésting

I highly doub i will back for poe2 but i could buy for more books combat in this game isnt fun for me

I could do it but it will cost you $4,99 ×Ď
