If the files are too large to attach separately, you may also compile them all in a .zip and email it to Obsidian at bugs@obsidian.net rather than use the forum at all - should you be inclined to provide it that way, of course.

I've just deleted a bunch of off-topic arguments about the game. This thread is about a particular build. There are other places you can go if you wish to discuss the game or the philosophies behind balancing the game.

They de-aged Adora/She-Ra so she's supposed to be a young teen instead of a 20 something for the new show as I understand it. Frankly I don't see the issue in the design (I'm not the target demo for the show either), nor what all the fuss is about Bow which seems to be another object of online hate. But its the internet, guess ya gotta outrage or something.

Thread pruned. If you don't like a build or strategy here, please close the thread and move to another thread which may offer something more to your tastes. If you think another poster is trolling the thread, please report the post rather than trying to respond to the post. Or put another way, Ne pascere troglodytis saevis.

I must have missed where this forum became the Dungeon's and Dragon's / Baldur's Gate forum. If you wish to suggest Obsidian make a game, there is Obsidian General Forum If you wish to praise/complain/remain neutral on Beamdog's efforts, there is the Computer and Console Forum If you wish to discuss on-topic or at least vaguely adjacent topics to PoEII this is the correct forum.

It would probably help the developers to provide as much of the information as possible that they request for reporting a bug: Description: Describe the issue that is occurring. Steps to Reproduce the Issue: List the steps of how to make the issue happen. Important Files: If the files are too large to attach separately, compile them all in a .zip and make a link to Dropbox with the .zip or email us at bugs@obsidian.net Attach files that will help the dev team figure out and resolve the issue. These include: Savegames Try to include a save file from right before as well as during the issue you are reporting Windows Location: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity II MACOS: ~/Library/Application Support/ Pillars of Eternity II Linux: $XDG_Data_Home/PillarsofEternityII Output Log When the issue occurs, close the game client, find this file, then attach it to your post Steam Location: \Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity II\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\output_log.txt GOG Location: \GOG\Games\Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\output_log.txt GOG Galaxy: \GalaxyClient\Games\Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\output_log.txt OSX Location: ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log Crash Output This only applies if you experienced a crash. If the game crashes, in many cases it will create a folder containing crash information (including a Crash log, output log, and save file). This folder will appear inside your client next to the game launcher (PillarsOfEternityII.exe). The name of the folder will be of the following format: YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS Example: 2018-05-08_081722 System Specs This will give us most of your computer specs to help us diagnose the problem Windows Location: Press (windowkey + R), Type "dxdiag" and press Enter, Click "Save All Information", Attach the file that you create MAC OS Location: Click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. From the drop-down menu, click About This Mac to open the System Information window. Screenshots Attach any pictures or links to pictures that can help us understand the issue

This thread, while nominally this side of on-topic seems to mostly be off-topic now.

I remember one of our fearless leaders waxing nostalgic about a time when he was asked a question in a grocery store and ended up fielding questions there for some time and how it was good public relations. So not being polite and answering questions wasn't an option. Other leaders would have expected you to be polite and refer them to your office hours. And in all instances, they'd have wanted politeness.

This story, in a way, reminds me of that recent one of the lawyer who went on a rant that was recorded and now faces inquiry into by NY's disciplinary committee. Sometimes whether you like it or not you are your organizations representative in a public space (something I've had told to me directly by leadership in some jobs I've had - including one where I was told if I was asked questions about our organization outside of the office - say in the grocery aisle - I was expected to answer them to the best of my capability and customer service).

You might want to search for partial-reinforcement extinction effect or author/researcher Ashley Merryman's research for negative impacts (here's an article from her: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/10/06/should-every-young-athlete-get-a-trophy/forget-trophies-let-kids-know-its-ok-to-lose) I think Carol Dwick from Stanford has done research that is cited to be pro-participation (or more appropriately, effort) trophies. She was cited in a Huffington Post article that gets referenced a lot - https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jason-powers/science-says-participatio_b_8054046.html Note I think Dwick's actual research is along the lines of the 1998 study that TN cites - that students who were praised for challenging themselves (regardless of whether they succeeded) continued to challenge themselves while students praised for an innate quality (intelligence) were less likely to challenge themselves lest they disprove their innate quality.

Most public colleges and universities could lower the cost of tuition if the states weren't actively cutting funding (going on now for a decade at least). But funding is one of the ways state/local governments are able to control universities, and politicians love control of things. That's why they sabotaged tenure when they could ("Let us get rid of these bad teachers with tenure by ending tenure!" is really saying "Lets get rid of the teachers who don't follow my political philosophy or say things that are inconvenient because right now I can't get rid of them when they say mean things about my scorched earth policies!" since the average bad teacher would never get tenure as its not granted at a whim). And its why they try to do end runs to take control over schools and systems through legislation. For example, if the government can take their existing power to control how much money the state gives colleges and universities and combine it with the power to prevent those colleges and universities from being self-sufficient on their own through raising tuition and fee ('Because education is getting our of reach of the average American family we must not allow the colleges and universities to keep raising tuition and fees!") then they've ensured that higher education in that state (excepting pricey private schools) is under the control of the legislators and not the 'academics', unless those academics want to find their college or university without state funding and no way to generate the loss through tuition and fees.

I'm guessing the campaign slogan will be "Who do you think is the lesser of the two evils are now?" Then again, it doesn't seem like the Dems are really ramping anyone else up.

Do many game devs, musicians and directors post scientific papers in scientific journals then?

1. Address points, not each other. This includes calling people a troll. If someone is trolling, report it to a mod. 2. If you think someone is not posting in good faith, don't respond to them. Ever. 3. Thread is locked; feel free to restart if there's something to discuss.

I knew who Best was. There were a bunch of interviews with him in the lead-up to Phantom Menace coming out, so I'm not sure he was a nobody to SW fans. It has sounded (for years) that Best took criticism of Jar Jar personally, but IIRC from those interviews he created a lot of stuff for the character, and so probably had a high feeling on investment in JJ. And I have seen criticism over the years that DID target him specifically in the Jar Jar hate.

Does this have any relation to POEII?

Address points not people. If you don't like another poster, there is an ignore function. We gently suggest that you use it. This thread has been cleaned up in the hopes that it can be placed back on-topic.

I'm locking this thread. It seems to be the start of a thought that didn't get finished. Perhaps the OP can start a new and better make their argument in a new thread.

Its directed by Panos Cosmatos who did BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW so you get crazy nic cage vs crazy people with probably some crazy visuals to boot.

I dunno, I'd recommend the documentary for the real story, but that doesn't preclude the movie being fun in its own way. EDIT: Mandy trailer:

Loose ground to raise a cross on, don't you think ? I was making a joke?

Given the discussion, are we now classifying Gfted1 as a weird, random or interesting thing that fits nowhere else?

While I think the support email is still working, you might also try the web submission form found on their revamped support page - https://support.obsidian.net/article/12-looking-for-help-on-our-older-games I'm not sure how much it'll help, but you'll also want to provide as much information you can about the issue and your accounts (here's some from the help guide): General (For all issues) What platform are you on? Stream/Android/iPad, etc. What version of the OS are you running? Android 4.4, iOS 9.3, etc. What model is the device? Galaxy Tab 3, iPad Mini 4, etc. What is your PFID#? (Located in the settings menu) Login Issues When you launch the game, does the welcome popup appear for Game Center/ Google Play Games? On the main screen, what is the text displayed in the blue box at the top? (Logged into GooglePlayGames, Logged into Game Center, or Link Social Gaming Network)
