Don't throw fair use in my face... your alteration is not sufficiently transformative to count as fair use. It's generally just polite to ask permission, or AT LEAST, link back to the artists whose work you used (and it's multiple, using a reverse image search). The Internet is not a free image source, as was already argued ad nauseam in an earlier thread. "Other people are doing it" is not an excuse. It would be one thing if you were doing this for yourself, but once you alter and redistribute publicly without permission or a source, it's a different matter. Don't be a **** and just link to the DeviantArt pages you got those from if you can't be bothered asking. You clearly like the artists' work enough to use it so give them some credit. But whatever, do what you want. -

Is this your work? If not, did you get permission from the artists to alter and share these? -

Weird reward wallpaper sizes?
Tigrin replied to CWagner's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
We decided that rather than make a bunch of different wallpapers for different common resolutions, that we'd make high-res wallpapers for specific aspect ratios. That way we can account for the small percentage of people using very high resolutions, as well as every size underneath without any loss of quality or excess files. Just pick the wallpaper with the aspect ratio that matches yours and set it to stretch. Here's the corresponding aspect ratios: 2560x1440 = 16:9 (1920x1080, 1280x720, etc.) 2560x1600 = 16:10 (1920x1200, 1440x900, etc.) 2560x1920 = 4:3 (1440x1080, 1024x768, etc.) 2560x2048 = 5:4 (1280x1024) The dual-monitor wallpapers should be similar, though we weren't able to make the image sizes quite as large. 2560x1024 = 5:4 3840x1080 = 16:9 3840x1200 = 16:10 3840x1440 = 4:3 Hope that helps. -

Steam achievements not up?
Tigrin replied to kryadan's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Nope! Didn't help. If I click on "View All Achievements" it just takes me to my profile. This isn't actually the first game I've had this issue with... had the same problem with South Park. Brandonnn I want to see the achievement icons I made. ;.; -
Devs Release Party?

I'll probably be there, looking mildly ill and uncomfortable as I watch everyone else drink. Sounds like a party to me. -
question about Conversations
Tigrin replied to Fierhorn's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
There's not really any one stat that's most useful for options in dialogue. A high Intellect or Perception will sometimes unlock choices in dialogue, for instance, but the stat has to be pretty high (like 18 if I remember), so think carefully before dumping points into stats just for dialogue reasons. There are never situations were you can't progress with something because you're missing a stat, it just might unlock different outcomes. It's part of what makes the game replayable I think, playing through again with different stats. to answer questions, it's only ever the PC character that chooses dialogue options. Companions will sometimes make comments, but you can't use their stats to answer questions. The game is also paused during dialogue sequences so there's no chance of swapping out items just for stat boosts, either. Buttt, you might be able to back out of a dialogue, put on an item, and try again. -
Devs Release Party?
Tigrin replied to TheSteadfast's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I've heard conflicting information as to whether or not this party was meant to be public. The Facebook and Eventbrite pages are public, but I've heard they'll still be turning away people at the door who aren't Obsidian employees or on a specific list of backers (I'm assuming the 5 backers at the 10,000 mark). I don't know any more information than that so hopefully someone else can clarify, since I'm out of the loop with what's going on at Obsidian now. -

Launch Party Stream?
Tigrin replied to Dragoon-'s topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I highly doubt it. Obsidian already has a launch party planned, and it doesn't involve sitting around chatting and playing games... in true Obsidian tradition, it involves booze. -
Couple of my favorite memories from Obsidian are the day the Kickstarter went up and the day the Kickstarter ended. All anyone did all day when the Kickstarter was up was refresh the page. When everyone went out for beers that night it was the happiest I'd seen people since the layoffs. The day the Kickstarter ended and we did that stream was super dramatic, because people from other teams (including me) really wanted to watch the countdown and celebrate, but other people thought we should have been working. Boo! Good times.

Fanart | Custom Portraits
Tigrin replied to Wespenfresser's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
So you are opposed to people cropping off your signature and posting it on this forum for people to use in their game. You posted these only for self-promotion and to get congratulated, not for people to actually use them. Gotcha. Also to say "look what I've got... but you can't use it, cause I put a giant watermark all over it and I disallow anyone from cropping it and posting here". Uhh ok? Have fun with it, I suppose? Congratulations, you've unlocked the definition of "art gallery". Generally when people share art, it's because they believe other people will enjoy seeing it. It's a bit twisted to demand that art must serve your needs in some fashion.- 164 replies
