Well, they are adressing everything but penetration, which seems to be one of the bigger issues currently.

    He did say "and many more things".

    Yeah, give it time. The fact that we are having our concerns articulated back to us is a good thing.

    Well you are a relatively prominent poster who has given good advice and builds so....

     

    Pen seems like an easy fix I would think should be just a number change really.

    The penetration issue is mixed with the graze issue, which they said they were addressing.

    So we can walk the walk. But, without a Speech skill, how can we talk the talk?! :)

     

    (Oh... with all the other factors that are checked and aren't as restrictive as "Speech." Okay)

    Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

    Hey, look! We can walk now, the RP of the CRPG has increased. I still want to see my fighter receive some love, how about some decent animations?

    Meh. Not gonna use this. Will divide by zero, though.

    It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...

    Let me know when the "run" speed isn't a lazy jog so I can stop using fast mode.

     

    Noone except for you would use that feature. :)

    PCGamer interview with Roby Atadero

    We‘ve recently met with Obsidian mastermind programmer Roby Atadero following the release of the backer beta of the Pillars of Eternity sequel called Deadfire.

     

    .

    .

    .

     

    PCGamer: Tell us about the walking toggle, please. Was it difficult to implement this feature?

     

    Roby Atadero: Not at all, i did it during one of my coffee breaks.

     

    PCGamer: Would you say that it has been worth implementing it?

     

    Roby Atadero: Definately! 99,9% of our testers are using it and absolutely love it!

     

    PCGamer: What are the future plans in this regard?

     

    Roby Atadero: We are planning to include a starting movement delay as in the IE games to make it look even less robotic and more natural and we will also look into making walking speed the default and adjusting all movement speed accordingly.

     

    PCGamer: What effect did the implementation of the walking toggle have on your team and yourself?

     

    Roby Atadero: We are all using walking in real life more consciously, our testers now opt to walk and not run when they go to work. Some of our developpers are questioning their participation in weekend joggings.

     

    PCGamer: Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Atadero! Have a safe walk!

     

    Roby Atadero: I will, thank you!

    I see it hasn't affected those biking to work though.

    It's probably taken people more effort to type these posts opposing the walk toggle than it took for Obsidian to implement it.

     

    It's not as if they had to create walking animations.

    and I still stand by all I have written. Still, even though I normally wouldn't care for a walking animation (I am playing through free copy of Watchdogs Ubi gave away - wow this game has a nice walking animation... and I have never used it again after first 15 minutes of gameplay), I am really happy to see it in for people who fought so passionatly for it. We all gained in our own ways.

    I'd rather they implement the start movement delay because it feels really robotic in POE1 and POE2 beta.

    ^ Agreed. And cyan circles for neutral NPCs (I didn’t think we’d still get green circles for neutrals in the sequel.)

    Eh? What's was the point of making that walking animation again? To tick a box in a checklist of "useless but cool things that are in the game"? Why would you want to move slow in a game if you can run fast to destinations all the time without getting tired? Personally, I never use walking in games unless it's some sort of stealth game and running is noisy.

    Cyan circle for neutral will clash with the colorblind mode.
