New screenshots! Things are going to get a little... awesome!

Hey all! Today we have a little something different for you. Not only do we have some new screenshots for you, we have also taken some of your more fun questions from our questions thread last month and have some answers for you!

 

First up, the Q&A!

 

Question: Are there otters in the game?

 

Brandon Adler: No, but we are thinking about adding wereotters as a druid form in the expansion.

 

Question: What is Tim Cain's best recipe?

 

Tim Cain: I'm going to go with the Darkest Rauatai Cookies. Those puppies are so dark and so rich. I defy you to eat more than three at one sitting. And if you sing the song "The Final Countdown" while replacing the lyrics with "The Darkest Cookie", it might be the best culinary experience that you ever have.

 

Question: How long exactly is a dragon's flight from Lac Dinneshere?

 

Eric Fenstermaker: Way longer than it should be since they eliminated all the direct flights to cut costs and now you have to do a 5-hour layover in Cormyr.

 

Question: How many pennies has Adam Brennecke surrendered to Josh Sawyer over the course of the project?

 

Adam Brennecke: I have not surrendered a single penny of broken promises from my pocket to Josh over the course of this project. Over the years working with Josh, I've learned my lesson the hard way not to guarantee anything when it comes to discussing things with him. He will make me pay for it, one penny at a time.

 

Question: How many active cats are in the game?

 

Josh Sawyer: If you don't include stelgaer and druids in spirtshift form, there are four pet cats you can get. However, for me there is only one choice: The Cutest Cat. (Image attached).

 

That's it for the Q&A, but wait, we promised screenshots and we have screenshots for you! Behold, the glory that is. The glory that was. And the glory that always will be: Big Head Mode!

 

 

Looks like we'll have to take Josh's word for it, cuz that attachment seems to be locked behind forum permissions

Can view the cat pic

Any answer but silence, I guess.

Must be the Cheshire Cat...

Haha. First I've actually checked out Big Head Mode. I just always thought "yeah yeah, big heads, fun times." But, I didn't realize just HOW big they were. Makes 'em look like sports mascots of PoE characters.

 

They should patch in a secret /worm command that makes them all do the worm, (but only works in Big Head Mode).

 

Also, wereotters are great, but you should also add wereplatypi. Complete with rear-foot poison spurs. 8D

If the heads were a little smaller it might do a decent job of making characters more distinct. At least for me, I have pretty bad eyesight haha.

The cat pic was a pic of josh and his cat chilin laying down on a bed or something. It wasn't a good photo. You'er not missing anything.

Also, hi5 to the art team. Man did they really up their game from the alpha they shared with us last yr. Those old model's were pretty yucky. These are pretty dang nice, and even nicer when not in uber big mode.

Four pet cats, zero dogs, no wonder my paladin became a Bleak Walker. 

 

 

*Oh thank god, I stand corrected. Plus I forgot to say how entertaining Big Head Mode looks.

Ahem.

 

There are multiple dog pets available in the game.

Sorry, you don't have permission for that!

Well, my first answer to the otter question was a little different. It was a sarcastic reply about an Easter egg, but I didn't want someone to screw their game up with what I was going to say. =p

One cannot measure the cuteness of the Cutest Cat.

 

 

 

 

Because one cannot see it.

That cat is so cute they had to lock it behind forum permissions to protect our fragile little brains.

I think it's Schrödinger's cat and they don't want us to see it because it could collapse in the dead state.

Tim’s earworm strike critted me for max damage…

We’re heading for BEETUS and still we chew slow
Cause maybe they’ll feed us and we’ll have some mo’
With so many insulin shots and medics around
I’m sure that we’ll all be OK somehow

o/~ IT'S THE DARKEST COOKIE! buh nuh NA nuh 0/~

Pet cats? +1

 

Josh's cat is pretty adorable, but since I'm horribly biased, I think mine is the cutest one.

Context on my penny question, incidentally:

 

NO OTTERS??

 

Would it possible to make (mod) big weapons like Dragon Age: inqu- ehm... Japanise rpgs?

There's always pigs, but never otters. D:

YOU BETTER NOT BE JOKING, BAdler! You don't play with my feeling like this! Don't you.. dare.. *breaks down*

 

I love you all so much. Q_Q

Japanese.

I don't get it why people get excited for that big head mode

I don't get it why people get excited for that big head mode

I don't think it's "excitement" as much as it "Hahaha, oh wow, look at those heads, that's hilarious".

While indeed hilarious, I don't think many will actually play with it.
