Recognize anybody in that crowd?

Bubbles is going full-time for the Codex?

It looks like an alley you wouldnt want to be in after dark.

I like the floating white door on the first floor that opens up into nothing and the what looks like a dumpster just a meter below it. It is an interesting architectural design choice.

 

[Grokalibre]

Never been outside?

 

[agris]

wait angry joe is in austin?

Only for the good stuff.

Adding quest markers will usually lead to "Go to the dungeon, it's just outside of town" instead of "Go to the dungeon, it's out the north gate, follow the road until it forks, head west then look to the south at the fallen tree" because the designers know the option for markers is there, and if the player isn't using them "well they like exploration anyway ".

Yeah, I really don't trust game designers to not be lazy and ruin the fun of anyone that don't want glowing bullshit pointing exactly where they need to go and making exploration superfluous, giving some basic instructions to where you need to go seems THE hard for most retarded game designers. If they add quest markers in this game, no moneis for this kickstarter until I see the quest Journal and Larian proves they don't plan to "But everybody uses quest markers anyway." bullshit standard excuse for not adding a couple lines of text.

I'm looking forward to this more than the PoE expansion I likely won't even get.

Congrats on your coming out.
It's high time you embraced that eurotrash shovelware lifestyle you resisted for so long...

 

[Perkel]

Of all the major oldschool RPG developers, Larian is clearly most at risk of "going casual". Their aggressive expansion means they have to get larger audiences now. (inXile btw is among the least at risk)

Of course, I can think of worse things than a complex turn-based RPG with a few casual features.

Yes, i feel that too. If this is going to be multiplatform kickstarter i will bail out.
I am too old to care about watching Larian fuck around with consoles to go into retardo way of chasing lowest common dominator.

All depends on how they will handle D:OS2.

I'm looking forward to this more than the PoE expansion I likely won't even get.

On contrary i think this time Obisdian will deliver with storytelling. New companions seems to be way better than rest of companions from original game. Though episode 1 is a bit worring for overal story progresion.

They're still looking for a new composer, give him your mixtape

 

[Jaesun]

I don't really have the time currently. And there are some other incredible composers on Soundcloud that could do some amazing tracks for them.

 

[Abu Antar]

Is the codex doing a fundraiser again?

 

[Excidium II]

Is the codex doing a fundraiser again?

I think everyone is sick of seeing codex memes on games already. Not to mention recent developments will also hopefully make people think twice before putting money to this place.

 

[Crooked Bee]

rpg codex > memes on games

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah the meme thing is getting old. I'm sure they could come up with a better thing for people to add to the game (that is not annoying/stupid).

I have no fucking clue what that would be though...

EDIT: However the codex bar on PoE was not too bad.

 

[Infinitron]

You may find that Divinity: Original Sin 2 contains a good number of Codex memes regardless of our fundraising efforts.

 

[Jaesun]

It better at LEAST have a day/night schedule....

 

[Aenra]

and better modding support..really, really shot themselves in the foot on that one

 

[Abu Antar]

How about a fundraiser is done and we try to be somewhat serious about the content? It could also help the game. It's not a big deal. I was just curious.

 

[Infinitron]

What do you mean, "we"? We didn't come up with the whole Codex trolls thing that Larian put in the game.

 

[Abu Antar]

I wasn't part of that, to be honest. It was before I actually joined. I thought you guys came up with that.

 

[Roguey]

I'd like to see another fundraiser just to stick it to that one guy on twitter who periodically complains about having to see RPG Codex every time he starts D:OS.
