You did indeed win that bet . Pity you didn't really get anything for it.

It's telling that you assume I’m excited because I’m expressing disappointment.But there are plenty of people that have inexplicably responded to disappointing news with happiness and are far more excited than me. Why is that? http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/destinys-unintended-critique-consumerism The NewYorker recently wrote this article suggesting that Destiny unwittingly critiques late stage capitalism but they should have written about PoE instead because people here, uniformly rejoicing at the delay, have ascended to the highest possible state of consumerism where things are acquired but not actually consumed, making the people who bought and play Destiny, shooting mindlessly into a cave look like amateurs. After all they are actually playing a game and people here don’t want an actual game called Pillars of Eternity, the game for them is this whole process of anticipation, observation and speculation. A real game would only ruin it because of the “bugs and lack of polish”. Watchdogs was one of the best games ever made until it actually came out and ruined the fun for everyone. Every piece of software ever written has bugs and polish is just a bull**** word. There are thousands of bugs in Baldur's Gate 2 (some of them massive game breakers) that were only fixed with a community fix pack. http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg2fixpack/docs.php . Here's a few thousand that not only made it into the Gold version but also survived some official post release patches. Playing the game was a buggy experience, it still is over a decade later but somehow it was and still is amazing. PoE will also not be the first game in history without a crunch, that's ridiculous, there is always crunch. But the truth is a lot of people don’t want the game to actually be released because then they’ll have to face up to the fact that while nostalgia and hyper capitalism are a heady mix they’re not a kid anymore playing Baldur’s Gate on their Voodoo 3s and the "bugs and lack of polish" they feared is instead the spectre of an empty, meaningless existence stretching out before them called adult life. Sushi, in it’s purest form isn’t eaten, that would be base and vulgar. Instead as a customer you are invited to observe a chef who spent 2 years sweeping floors before he was even allowed to handle a knife and a further 10 years in meticulous and exacting training after which he could begin calling himself a decent sushi chef. You watch the preparation of this food by a skilled artisan and when he has finished, the food is admired and discarded. It distills the whole thing down to its barest, purest essentials, giving you the satisfaction of consuming something without the hassle of actually having to eat and sit there and pretend that you even enjoy food, or eating, or dining in company or anything at all in life that isn't the process of buying and acquiring things, only the joy of consumption matters to you, the hyper-capitalist. This is what Obsidian should do with PoE. Releasing an actual piece of software, at any point, this year, next year, five years from now, will only enrage and disappoint the people rejoicing without reservation at its delay. For Pillars of Eternity to be an authentic success they should continuously delay and then show footage of a complete masterpiece without letting anybody play it and immediately discard it, delete all versions and backups and announce pre-production has begun on PoE 2. The KickStarter money will again flood in. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/68876-this-game-looks-great-in-every-way-obsidian-you-rock-de-house/ Some here are either more honest or ahead of the curve and already asking for it.I've been following the PoE forums for two years now, and I bookmarked this post in October 2014 because it is to this date the most brilliant and entertaining post I have ever read on a forum. I use it as a hot link to quickly access the PoE forums, but I also sometimes take the time to reread your post and I have to say, I can reread your sharp and witty analysis without end without your words ever failing to being a smile on my face. Well done, really.

I strongly encourage this xD

I don't really pay much attention to the things you post because all you do is gripe and whine, so I really have no idea if you specifically have made lots of references to BG2 and how this game should be more like that one. Others have made such posts though. A lot of them in fact. As far as you go, I think you should just go find a game that you actually like, play that, and stop trying to ruin PoE for everyone else. It's not healthy man. Man, Sensuki has made countless contributions to the development of this game throughout the past two years. You should give him more respect than you do now. That said, looking at the overall tone of your posts in these and other sub forums you're not here to make a positive contribution. If you are, you might want to adjust your tone of speech in order for other people to take your message seriously.

ROFL? I'd like to hear about this I'll PM you. No need getting this thread even more off track... Could you put me in the cc please? Not to start an argument, would just like to hear your opinion

What if you're not having fun and are trying to figure out why? It is almost a pity that PoE got released as now we won't be able to enjoy your contributions to the game and it's forum anymore. I will be looking forward to see more from you on the torment forums.

Struggling to finish :')

If I were you I would use a character that does hocus pocus and thereby uses a hefty amount of focus.

I'm surprised by all the fuss as well. Isn't this kind of hypothetical situation every straight man's worst nightmare, and funny to hear when it happens to someone else? I fully support lgbt rights, but this whole situation feels like people wanting to get upset about something rather than having a valid reason for it. That said, I think Obsidian handled the case very maturely by discussing a change with the backer who contributed to the memorial.

"Hey look at me, I abused an exploit. I could spam infinite seals. Or hey my character has 300 bugstacked DR, I beat the game easily. Please make it harder." - Neither of those grant you the right to speak on balance for the rest of us. You can report the exploit, but that would be about it since you got no experience in actually playing the game on PotD but rather on how to exploit your way through it without actually dealing with the content in a reasonable way. why are you so angry and mean? I'm afraid that's the state of the Internet. Don't let it get you down. You make a valuable contribution to the forum.

I can't find the right words to express how much I like the music,so I'll keep it simple: there isn't a day where I start the game and don't actively notice how good the music is. I love it, the music from Pillars of Eternity takes its own place as a new found 'classic', right alongside the music from BG2.

Seconded. Include outdoor maps as well. Adjusting gamma settings doesn't make the maps bright enough either.

Pillars of Eternity를 Kickstarter로 샀더라면 H2 entertainment이 출시할 한국어 버전의 Steam Key 받을 수 있느냐고요? <edit>: My account에서 Support에 가고 New Request 버턴을 누르고 질문을 직접 개발자한테 물어보면 될 것 같아요. 만약 질문을 영어로 하려고 도움이 필요한다면 저한테 문자해 주세요. 말할 것을 영어로 번역해 줄게요.

Bester, Once again, thanks a lot to you for your wonderful work .

Broooooooo Yes. I concur with this sentiment. It is the only kind of proof I will accept.

I have a three year old Asus with 4gb ram and a 550m videocard. Game runs like a charm on high settings.

That's a brilliant idea. They get £10.000 and someone else designs the romance for free. Win-win . <edit> I would instantly back PoE2 or a similar 2d isometric rpg.

Fixed A tad careless of Badler to make typos like that

Hello PrimeJunta, I'm very happy to see you back on the forums since I was afraid the negative feedback on your previous BG2 threads had scared you away. That said, I really loved those threads because you mentioned a lot of things about BGII which I could at first not agree with such as your claim that BGII required a lot of metagame knowledge to be enjoyable. Yet upon a new play through I had to concede your point and got to realize that BGII is only fun if you are the type of person that enjoys learning meta game and to then replay parts of the game... That said, welcome back and thanks for your new contribution to the forums.

You have a very polite and friendly debating style I like it. Please stay on the forums .

That website makes me wonder whether former interplay / black Isle / whoever has the rights to torment is going to sue Tormentum for copyright infringement. http://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=24536 Check out the link and read the description xD.

Obsidian, please externalise as many assets to the game as possible upon release .

Thanks a lot Bester. You are a real asset to the community .

sorry, but that is idiotic. if other folks did the same stoopid thing, it don't somehow make his ridiculous backpedaling any less silly. heck, Gromnir also gave the genesis poster a hard time earlier in this thread. so stun sudden had a brain seizure and started spouting nonsense that not only was utterly irrelevant, but were mimicry o' the idiocy o' the guy he were insulting earlier in this thread? that is the why you feel stun does not deserve recriminations for his nonsense? HA! okie dokie. HA! Good Fun! Okie dokie

God forbid! How could I ever expect objective journalism?? Post of the month for me. 5/5 stars.
