Ballast of the Black Isle Black Isle Bulwark? Bilge rats of the Black Isle?

is a fair point camorra? guild? ring? conspiracy? kinda like camorra and ring. HA! Good Fun! ps with "ring" instead o' order, perhaps we might see an actual ring in the game. just a thought. Camorra reminds me of all the late 60s and 70s tv shows trying to find alternate words to use instead of "the mob" (most just went with 'Syndicate').

Hahahahahaaaaaa....didn't even notice that in the faux latin. The Black Rock Mariners? Sailors from the Lost Island (Nautae in insulam amissa)? The Lava Born Brood?

You may have to just accept that you'll be unrecognizable. You could say you have to...take it on the chin.

Obsidianus marinarius oceanum?

Môr-leidr? Foghlaí mara? (I can't remember which language Engwithan was inspired by)

I think its a great idea, I'm still curious of whether a user added portrait will have the ability to have a user added 'watercolor'

Blanket forts make me think of that one scene in THE SIXTH SENSE.

Of course the 40 hour work week was a way to not have workers doing a 12-20 hour work day. And of course back in the day, if you owned a store, you lived at the store (usually above the store or in a backroom) and were available 24/7 to your small community. It wasn't that different if you were a farmer or other job. That doesn't make 40 hours a week awesome, but just trying to add perspective to it. A lot of theorists in the 20s (IIRC) figured the work week would be 3 days by now (again IIRC).

Robert Z'Dar is one of the few people I'm certain would still be recognizable post "death godlike" makeover.

Weird I'm pretty sure I got the email (can't remember if it showed up in my updater tracking).

Correct, it would be an extreme challenge to pull this off with only having limited facial area. In my honest opinion, I would advise going against it, if you are going to spend all that cash to only have your lower face be somewhat resembled. Although it'd be pretty awesome - if your only good feature was a really, really awesome chin.

I had such a hard time not typing "Stay a while and listen...". It was even going through my head in Deckard Cain's voice.

I would be surprised if Obsidian has not mass email spamming previous backers to come back for reinforcements. This is the first thing i would do, personally. January 28 Kickstarter Update # 110 in fact. Would have sent out via email to anyone getting updated by email and would be in their updates next time they log on.

It was just an example of the Federal government overriding the will of the voters who actually PAY for the schools whose districts they live in. Allowing the governed to have a say in their governance is a radical concept I know. But I don't want this to turn into a discussion on the merits of ID. It was just an example. Looking at YOU aluminiumtrioxid! But you are right about your other point. Somehow all our threads end up being derailed into the pros and cons of socialism. It does get tiring. While I understand your point regarding the Federal government, it was pretty messed up (IMO) to have the content of education be up for a popular vote in the first place. That wasn't really how it worked. Texas has a commission of the State Government that reviews text books and other class material. It works with local school boards and other groups to approve what is taught and used. One of the books included ID as a subject to be discussed in addition to evolution. Not to exclude it it. The federal government wen high and to the right over that and threatened to withhold funding if the material was used. That money was tax dollars collected from Texas taxpayers. Now THAT is intrusion. You know come to that I remember a similar row, I think it was also in Texas (not sure) about how State history was being taught. In that instance too the Federal Government intervened in a very heavy handed way. Okay, I rolled with your description even though I couldn't find an instance of a popular vote in Texas on the topic. Regarding withholding funding that's the lasso the national government uses (if you don't adopt this thing, you don't get this funding). Comes up here every few years when people argue the state is 'losing' money by not requiring farmers to buckle up when they're in their pickups and farm equipment because there's certain federal funds the state doesn't get by not passing that law as a requirement (which they don't do because the farmers believe it'll add extra time to their work schedules, etc). Of course its not really 'losing' money if you never had it to begin with. Anyhow, the federal dollars withheld wouldn't have been exclusively collected from Texas, would it? Changes that happen with Texas and California text books tend to be popular national topics because, generally speaking, the text book companies, to maximize profits, tailor books to the standard of one of those two states and all the other states have to pick which one they'd rather have.

Welcome aboard! Hope you stay around and contribute further!

And BOO is so much better than POO...ARR, The Archipelagos Ravaging RaidersYARR, Your Archipelagos Ravaging Raiders YAHARR, Your Artistic & Happy Archipelago Ravaging Raider Edit: Not good ones... just, would be funny with something like "Yaharro!" (O being "Order") The Yaharro! = The Young and Honorable Aquatic Rapscallion Raider Order Okay it was a stretch... Random musing - Order of Obsidian Freebooters (OOF!) The Obsidian Order of Notorious Privateers, not Pirates (TOONPNP) The Order of Obsidian Sea Hawks (TOOSH) Corsairs of the Obsidian Seas (COS) The Obsidian Buccaneers for Naval Order (TOBNO) (sounds like a weirdo temperance group)

I think it depends on the how many inquiries they get, given the small team working on Pathfinder. And it seems like we just hit a large amount of people purchasing things and not receiving them post this last update, so they may have gotten a number.

I'd email support rather than wait for a developer here. They usually will want USER ID (username####) and to forward a copy of the receipt. Also, note that their office hours are Monday - Friday, 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM PST when looking for a response.

It sounds potentially like a move in the right direction. Execution being key. I've said before that for a romance narrative to work, you can't have the romance subsume the character of the NPC (ie the romance shouldn't happen just because the PC wills it). There should be a lot of variables in it, the end goal shouldn't end up at the same place and most importantly the character should remain interesting and responsive to the story if not romanced. Curious now to see what Bioware has done.

IIRC the rationale for all guns being two handed was due to reloading; you'd need two hands to reload the style of pistol quickly and without having to put one gun "down".

If it applies to PCs what happens when you have a custom portrait? Can you import a custom watercolor or do you get a blank head or...?

In a way yes, but with line drawings as I was thinking of it as a way to make a lot of portraits fast for NPCs who maybe don't need to stand out as much, not for PCs...

Since the angle on the faces slightly differ in what they show on Fig, I'm imagining they're individually drawn...but I wonder if they could use the strategy of having say 5-6 face types, 5-6 eyes, 5-6 noses, 5-6 mouths and 5-6 hairstyles, 5-6 "others" and just mix and match, color and cleanup/touchup and have a fast system for a lot of NPCS, then use the individual drawn ones for specific important NPCS...
