No, just look at this thread, most people love this modern crap.

Heh, I guess they didn't tell you... poe has no pickpocketing lol, cause it goes against Sawyer's definition of fun.

By the way, I was looking at some related mechanics - such as methods called when you steal from somebody's chest, and it'd be possible to mod pickpocketing in based on those mechanics.

 

Didn't know 1999 was modern, hee.

 

You can mod in additional skills (pickpocketting, etc)? Or would it use existing skills for the check?

@dragon_83_ when you click on a corpse, it groups that corpse with all others within 3m. that's the only way corpse looting works now.

So at least it's a small area.

 

Cue Sawyer quote about Fallout 1 fans?

 

Impressions from the new version:
- Improved main menu music.
- More ear pleasing button sounds in the main menu and options.
- More UI sounds in game (and they're good).
- Gone is the horrible inventory sound that made my ears bleed - it's replaced with a soothing sound.
- Party characters voices have a nice little echo added to them.
- The volume for inventory items being picked up and dropped off was lowered down (good).

The game sounds much much better than before. It's like they changed their sounds guy or something.

 

I loved his responses to Sensuki on SA about this issue ("PoE doesn't allow you to loot during combat or equip items during combat, so this is a double mod-specific issue with metagaming sprinkled on top."
"I'm not going to make a core interface mechanic worse to support an extreme edge case that would be dominantly appreciated on a second, third, etc. playthrough.*

* With mods.")

 

You mean race-swapped.

These are the best looking ones of the lot, I think.

 

autolooting in this game?
lol
it's a joke, tight?

 

Why don't you actually read the previous posts and find out for yourself before flying into a panic?

 

This portrait is very well done IMO.

Maybe I should try the beta again.

 

That's nothing. This guy:


Looks exactly like Sid:


Awaiting other Galavant characters, especially Dicky.

And on that note - Protrait art looks really, really top notch.

 

They've also modified the portrait I use in this forum (don't know if others have also been tweaked)

 

Look at those sharp ears...0/10. Would not bang.

Zep--

 

Those are fine lookin portratis. I approve.

 

By the by, since they're only giving reviewers fewer than two weeks to write their day 1 reviews, that doesn't bode well for the quality of the reviews. Though that's nothing out of the ordinary. Their funeral.

 

I imagine (as someone with no experience with Unity) that means you'll be able to tweak the radius down to 0 with the mod. Though I think it is a Good Feature and am glad it's implemented.

2 weeks is probably the sweet spot for buggy game/good review length, given the bugsidian rep. A reviewer playing the game full time for two weeks should be able to get through the vast majority of the game.

 

What this basically means is "oh, I forgot to chain disables".
