On the contrary, I think that Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2 were the last great Bioware RPG's. When Bioware went down (which they first thought as success) the decline of the genre was preserved only by CD Projekt Red, and then the Kickstarter / nostalgia renaissance happened.

You are entitled to your vision of history for sure.

Even if that was the case, it still sold well which means there's more than enough of a target audience for it and that these mechanics weren't a dealbreaker. And that's no suprise with so many click-to-win games out there.

I don't begrudge you guys enjoying this game.

I resent the fact that Owlcat alienated 90% of its potential audience, including myself, with appalling design decisions.

Sure, but on the other hand trying to widen the audience is a slippery slope and depends where you draw the line. You will always find someone else who will be willing to draw the line even further and you will call it decline.

I just watched a 6 minute long video of someone making armor! Whoa! Amazing!

Do you recall if you transcribed my time limits question? The answer was "yes and no" + words, but I can't remember/couldn't understand the rest and I can't find it among all these monk posts you have made during the last week.

I can totally honestly say that I think Pink has way overtaken me as a fangirl/boy/enby.
I'd say that he's better cheerleader for better RPG and better studio. Itz ok, we get it, itz really hard to cheer and be excited for boring games made by boring people. Hide among thousands of kickstarter pledges and hundreds of thousands Owlcat happy gamers. Josh Sawyer can't find and hurt you there. He might thou start angry tweeting about Russians also taking over RPG industry soon. . .

Just tell me to fuck off. I'm not one for subtlety. I'll go back to 4chan.
NO! You're bard monk this Crusade needz!

So...
Q)Time limits and events in Kingmaker created a sense of immersion and progress on the world. Anything similar in Wrath?
A)
Creative Director: Yes and No. Time management was a necessary tool in Kingmaker to allow you the feeling of reward from building your nation. This time around we are trying to make you feel like the leader of a crusade. It's not really about time, but more about the war effort and the troops. So as a result we are trying to make it as immersive in that regard. However, we can not talk about this for now.
+ that comment they made, if I remember correctly, about army management being somewhat like Civilization.

I bet that they will make it work in turns, like a board game, which means "time will pass" and things will change with army management actions exclusively.

Time limits were shit because of the way they were implemented. Time limits in RPG generally are shitty idea,it rushes the player to constantly push forward. While ignoring the best thing about rpgs,the exploration. The best option would a setting in the difficulty menu,they did add everything else in it,so it will be great if that was added in.

Do their artists really work on just one monitor? I've done a little modeling/texturing just to learn how and even the thought of trying to do that professionally is insane. Spend some of that kickstarter money and buy your team more monitors! Fuck's sake, most gamedev setups I've seen use three.

No way that is the case, that's just the montage.

We have it in no uncertain terms declared by Owlcatz: Casuals! you will pay, play and be taught to understand and love time limits! Holding your ground and not compromising, at least not more than truly necessary, your game making philosophy, is there single, which means 1 (o n e), and that would be more then zero and less than two, RPG stydio in entirety of West capable of such move? Honest to God question! I know none, their ballz are full of soy, their heartz sold to Red Devil. Itz just job to them

I thought you like verbose prose, jokes no shorter than hundred wordz, being Head Fan of Pillarz on the site...

Now that I've tagged you, I might as well use your attention with 10 sec cooldown to say: Fuck Sawyer, Fuck Feargus, Fuck Tim Cain with giant mexican cactus! Tim will enjoy it, not my intention to punish him anyway. He indebted us all too much, these other two? Just financial shakal and his pet german autist, living their entire lives off exploiting and nerfing other people's talent and work. Burn Obsidian and on its ground build beautiful Taco Bell

And yet I consider the concept, the vision, the combat mechanics, the writing and the execution of Pillars of Eternity I to be very good and praise the bike repairman for this.

PoE is like son that as kid was so promissing, had great grades, was beloved and everyone was sure he'll grow up to be spitting image of his famous Baldur's Gate father and ancestors. And then kid turns 25, quits two universities out of boredom and applies for first job at KFC. Fried Dreams, for table 8!

PoE is disapointment most of all, which means I had expectations from it. Most of them have status: FAILED. But I understood why it was what it was. PoE was product of its time
