    Pillars of Eternity Thread [Pre-Expansion]

    You won't find it on GOG likely for a few more days. You can find both the patch and the new hotfix made from steam version that works for GOG too, just do some web search. Yeah, GOG is being GOG, but it doesn't excuse OE. I found unofficial working patch for my version within 2 hours of steam...

    Kickstarting More PoE - When Should Obsidian Do It? And for What?

    There's no reason to make a kickstarter really. They can do a very early preorder that would kinda look like kickstarter but without giving them part of the money and not having to come up with so many backer rewards and multiple funding tiers. Possibility to order a nice physical copy with...

    Patch Thread - 1.03 April 3rd out now

    Hotfix already available for th unofficial version that works for GOG. The patch was 100mb and hotfix was 25mb but installation took me longer than a bigger file to download would. I guess they just replace whole files in steam updates and it's fine.

    What difficulty are you playing on and how do you fare? (Poll)

    You create a challenge by clicking an options button, others do it by taking premade companions. I don't see how is one way playing like a retard and another is not. Yeah, that's the stupid part. I'd like the game to only have 2 difficulty levels: normal and challenge (hard should be normal and...

    Are rangers that bad?

    They're not great but the video only shows that bows are bad. Use arabalests and you're fine. There's always going to be something that's better and something that's worse. Using a suboptimal class for the whole party with very bad weapons makes it a terrible combination. I've not tried...

    Pillars of Eternity Thread [Pre-Expansion]

    They said the patch should fix it. It's probably simply going to put back all companion stats back to base since nothing except bugs changes it permanently. Also, if you did it to Eder, you very likely also pumped Aloth's AOE (not listed in char sheet) from his armor bonus.

    Mature and rational discussion re: itemization in Pillars of Eternity

    Presentation definitely helps. It's really nice for lore. At very least people could be excited to see new item just to read. Illustrations like that shouldn't take a lot of time. Of course it's another thing you have to add, it takes some resources, but it's not a big problem. It can be (just...

    Mature and rational discussion re: itemization in Pillars of Eternity

    Having lots of normal items or even blank slots is fine as long as you can look forward to some really cool epic artifact. Having whole party with every single piece of gear epic is actually pretty bad, but fine in a fantasy world like FR or PoE - it's not better for the system than having pure...

    Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Sound quality is terrible, kinda sucks they couldn't borrow a good mic from someone. Also I wish they got rid of the crappy effects when changing camera. Anyway, it's not bad, grabbing a beer and gona listen to stories :)

    Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Regarding updates being worthless or not, it's mostly about having updates that are important enough for information to spread. Adding something big like screenshot sprouted newsposts on many websites, made fans show it to their friends etc. People who have not heard about T:TON KS just got...

    Game News Torment Kickstarter Update #12: First Screenshot

    In case someone didn't notice, the background of the screenshot is blurred part of the Bloom concept art: That's one of the issues with the screenshot feeling imperfect right now. The background doesn't really fit, it's blurred just to make it less noticeable.

    Codex, Tell me what multiplayer RPG my roommates and I should play

    Frozen Synapse has pretty awesome multiplier - tactics with simultaneous turns, look at youtube. Single matches are short but you can play more than 1 game at once which can be quite fun with more roommates (everyone having a game with everyone).

    Incline (not so) Long Awaited Volournian EARLY Impressions of AOD Demo

    You are asked if you don't mind fighting before this escort, right? If you don't focus on fighting, start with shit gear and have no utility items (nets, alchemy) then you should not take this job. Hybrid characters in this game are the most interesting IMO - a lot of dialogue options and can...
