    So you think health globes are a good way to go?

    I think that is an assumption he is making because he desperately does not want to be optimistic. Sawyer is saying pretty much exactly what people should want to hear (outside making it turn-based, which would betray the point of the whole thing) yet they still find something to be pessimistic about.

    What is the point of the glorious kickstarter/indie incline revolution if we're going to second-guess every fucking little thing? Like Baldur's Gate and Torment were fucking perfect games.

    What? Grimlord assumed it will have health globes and DalekFlay responded in the typical Obsidian-apologist "haters gonna hate" fashion. Believe me, if Obsidian announces health globes these people will actually discuss them and claim Obsidian can do them right.

    I didn't know being optimistic is an obligation.

    1. Obsidian is hardly doing any revolution.
    2. If you let them stray from their initial pitch, then yes, what the fuck is the point of Kickstarter?

    The "point" is when your wishes coincide with the intentions of the project creator. If those intentions change then it doesn't work anymore.
    And don't tell me it's about helping fulfill someboby else's dream. That's absolute bullshit.

    You can be optimistic without being apologetic. You can enjoy something without thinking it's perfect. It makes for a much less miserable life, I assure you.

    Where the fuck did you draw that conclusion from? Why don't you say that this game will use space ships or Terminator cyborgs? Because it seems that we are at a point where people make random shit up, that are definitely won't be in the game and rage about it!

    Fine, you got me. I am literally a moron. I've got papers and everything. Perhaps if I sucked Sawyer's cock long enough, it might help raise my intelligence. What do you think ? Did it work for you ? 'Cause you're brilliant. I want to be just like you.

    Not sure where they posted it originally, but I just saw on Sawyer's Formspring that you can create a 6-man custom party. Sold.

    Always lovely when people are unjustifiably sarcastic. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60875-merged-cooldown-thread/page__st__520#entry1220495
    If you read that and come away from it thinking "YEP ALL YOUR SPELLS ARE GOING TO REGENERATE AFTER EVERY FIGHT AND IT'S GOING TO BE BALANCED FOR THAT" then you have reading comprehension problems. This is like that tunnel vision I keep talking about.

    Not from the get go though, eventually. When you reach the Hall of Heroes (or whatever it's called) you can recruit new adventurers that you make yourself. It's in the latest update.

  20. A) Captain is NOT an aristocratic title. But I am a poor aristocrat by birth none the less.
    B) This i not butt-hurt. This is reasoned disagreement. To see butt-hurt look at Jassun's replies on that forum to Biodrones.

    That means you can't machinegun fireball during an encounter. It says nothing about what happens between encounters.
    Also it's a response to Captain Shrek's troll. If you read it in context, it just means there will be no 0 sec. cooldown. Anything above 0 sec. is on the table. In another post he said something about no 30 sec. cooldowns either. So indeed, no machinegun fireball is confirmed. Nothing is confirmed about what happens between encounters.

    I think Obsidian should hint at confirming romances, this thread is getting stale.

    Looks like you're the one ignoring context. He was replying to:
    They're obviously talking about all the spells regenerating outside of combat. Obviously the same problem happens if all your spells are available to you at the start of every combat (start out with the highest level spell, work your way down). You really are thick, aren't ya?

    Edit: Furthermore

    Whatever Roguey, this issue has been done to death. I just hope you're right and the next update brings us some good news.:)
