What is "Bash?"
Elzarath replied to Bazy's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I thought bash meant the it gave you the ability to use the shield as weapon, but otherwise is just a normal shield. Currently have Larder Door on Eder and if you select him from the main screen an extra icon is there next to his normal knockdown one. I think the 'Bash 2' means you can select it twice per an encounter. If you don't use the ability then it just acts like a normal shield as opposed to dual wielding two weapons. Maybe using bash has a chance to cause knockdown so a non fighter could equip it and use it for knockdown effect, otherwise maybe not much incentive to use the bash ability because you'd want to use your main hand weapon to attack. This is just a general observation I've made so it could be incorrect. -

Thought the same thing. I'm guessing it's 'when will it be updated/uploaded for download?' -

Some mobs don't give XP?
Elzarath replied to Kromzor's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Have you maxed out the creature encyclopaedia? I think it's part of the journal. Once that's 100% you don't receive any more creature xp for that creature. -
I'm having a blast, guys.

Yep, the game simply rocks. I can't remember the last time I *really* enjoyed a game that I want to return to and keep playing. Writing is top notch. The game sucked me in straight away and now I can't wait for extra long weekend coming up (in Australia) so I can play for more than an hour at a time! -
Feedback on game
Elzarath replied to Suna's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Do you mind that these forums don't have full VO then? It's a little.. odd that you're here engaging in discussion but don't like the 'lack' of VO? Like many others have stated, I find the balance spot on, it is in the same vein of the infinity engine games after all. -
What's the Kickstarter only item?

Haha also thought that til I read your post! -
I don't think the cities necessarily need more people, maybe the existing ones just need to be a bit more dynamic. We've compared the number of people in the cities of PoE vs. BG, etc. but BG, and particularly BGII, had much bigger cities in terms of phsyical size. The actual maps were bigger, so it made sense to have more people filling them. In PoE the First Fires district was made up of about 4 buildings. They were large buildings but there wasn't many of them. Whether that's a reflection on 'filler content' or something else I don't know but I think it'd help if we kept it in perspective in number of people vs. map size for each individual game (and to expand on that each games goals, lore, even engine capabilities). For example it may not be fun to fill a city if it means path finding suffers and then it detracts from user experience.

Don't forget in BG you don't reach the first major (only) city til chapter 5. Not that there wasn't a lot to do in chapter 5 onwards, just putting some perspective on it.

Carry Weight?

Did not know there is going to be no arrows in PoE! Thanks for that insightful tidbit. Shame though, I liked the different ammo types.
