October 5, 201213 yr Have they actually said anywhere at any point that these charecters in the concept art are companions. I keep seeing people posting that on various forums, is it just assumption on their parts? I haven't thought about it enough to second guess it. What are you thinking, enemy adventuring party? They have names. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

October 5, 201213 yr I figured he was a mage in the wallpaper. In both that and this art, he's focused on some magical ability. He really likes posing with his hand glowing. Who doesn't? twitter tyme
October 5, 201213 yr I'm thinking they are just concept art to be honest (and storyline npcs at a push?). The kickstarter isn't over yet so I don't think Chris has even started writing the companions, and I would imagine he would need to create the character before they can be drawn. Drawing the character and then writing it's backstorys seems a bit backwards.
October 5, 201213 yr I seriously hope they are companions. They look awesome. Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!
October 5, 201213 yr I want to paint my fists with petrol, light them and punch zombies. That would be cool.
October 5, 201213 yr I hope those magical snakes are being summoned to devour enemies. An enemy must have like 10% health left, and then the spell will have an instant kill effect.
October 5, 201213 yr I love that picture, it just screams "Pow, right in the kisser" Legendary Weapons Made By You - A post about weapon customisation and creating your own legendary items Magic Spell Customisation - A post about adapting spells to fit your style, making news ones from old $4million+ raised, I think our jobs here are done.
October 5, 201213 yr I want to paint my fists with petrol, light them and punch zombies. That would be cool. I'd do that, but I'm very hairy, the fire would spread and kill me in seconds. Otherwise, it would have been the first thing I tried during a zombie occupation. Edited October 5, 201213 yr by Labadal

October 5, 201213 yr I hate to be that guy and it's probably just the sepia-coloring, but i feel like these concept arts epitomize generic fantasy in the negative, unimaginative way. The pictures just feel bland. But like i said, i probably feel like that because of the lack of color. These aren't finished ideas yet anyway as far as i understand what concept art means. It would just be sad if the characters had great depth but lacked personality in appearance. Edited October 5, 201213 yr by Gyges

Blandness can also be good when combined with a good script, considering you get more focus on the actual person rather than strong visual elements that can easily give off the sense that it's just an entertaining design. I guess we'll see what spin it goes on.

It's so hard to find people who want unique-looking characters. I'll admit to being a little disappointed when I found out that Aloth wasn't actually purple; it was just the lighting.

I agree that some of the concept art has been.... nondescript (odd because the artist doing the sepia stuff is awesome if her website is anything to go by). But I genuinely loved the new Update 15 pic. It's kind of vanilla but it really captures the spirit / fun of the genre for me.

And looked good. And how in the world are they going to get out of that? I think they're headed for a TPK. Game over, man!! Game over!!! Edited October 5, 201213 yr by Amentep I cannot - yet I must.

October 5, 201213 yr I figured that the wallpaper with all the characters in it was the result of one of those 'design an enemy adventuring company' KS tiers. It explains how such a level of detail for characters that (apparently) will be in the game are available so early in the production process.

Aloth and Cadegund showed up back in the announcement video. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
October 5, 201213 yr I want to know all about the old-geezer tattooed monk because I like him already. And Raquel Welch, fur-clad dwarf chick.
October 5, 201213 yr So will Project Eternity have numbers everywhere? Because I sure hope so. Edited October 5, 201213 yr by Crooked Bee

I keep seeing people posting that on various forums, is it just assumption on their parts? Well, there is something in the update #15: we wanted to give you a piece of art to show you examples of characters you may encounter (and adventure with) in Project Eternity I'm waiting for update #16 with full-size Aloth!
