[Roguey]

Their new games are the console versions of Original Sin.

They need to drink (a lot) more beer or wine and then record the vid methinks.

The birdshat car was kinda funny, although the rental company wont be laughing.

A lot of it is them shooting the shit watching the E3 coverage. Farhang was there too.

Some of the more relevant stuff from the stream:
Early in the stream they mentioned doing something community related with the Warhorse team? Not much detail.
Also mentioned the RPG Developer Coordination Cabal

There's a new examine system where you can look at NPC skills and abilities. This was partially implemented in the first version but underdeveloped. Now it has a dedicated interface. How much you see is tied to your skills.

The AP costs for skills have been reworked to make some of the weaker skills cheaper and more enticing to use. Also the master skills seem to require more AP than standard ones so you might have to save AP to use them.

The duplicate fireball/ice bolt type skills have been replaced with different and new skills.

In addition to the backstab indicator changes, the character indicators have been spiced up.

Rock paper scissors is still in. People on the stream loved it . Crappy dialog mini games confirmed for future Larian Titles.

Quest items no longer need to be on the character who is directly doing the quest, it checks the whole party inventory.

Ran into a funny oversight/bug where they were trying to break out of jail, he handled an item owned by the jailer and was caught doing so. Then the Jailer yelled at them for it like they always did. Dialog ends and another one immediately starts where they attack the players because they had just broken out of jail.

Hardcore mode is called Tactician mode. - Wizards will clear elemental surfaces.
Honor mode has single save and auto deletes it if you die.


Q&A from chat:
Q: How many features go to PC - A: All of them.
Q: How much will it cost (new copy obviously) - A: Unknown
Q: Customize console controls - A: PS4 allows customization natively, Xbox ?
Q: What changes to story - A: Vague answer about repeating information for pacing purposes to keep you interested. Reducing temporarily dropped plot threads. Some sort of majestic ending sequence.
Q: Animal talking, whose idea was it - A: Swen
Q: Adjust font size - A: Unsure
Q: Can you use two monitors for separate screen co-op on a single PC - A: No
Q: New character customizations - A: Yes, more are coming. (didn't sound like a lot to me though)
Q: Transfer saves between platforms - A: No
Q: Cheevos? - A: Yes

That was pretty entertaining, the devs were great. Guy watching stream chat brought up Arcanum, even journos (? is that what those guys are? I guess...) are better than Avellone.

wow

Belgians really are even less funny than Germans.

Aren't Belgians basically fake French?

No, half of them are fake Dutch. Larian is from that half

And fuck you too.

 

[Black]

Wow, pretty rude coming from a guy with no real nationality.

 

[Nikaido]

Belgium is the insane asylum of Europe. The French half speak French with an accent that sounds like what would come out of the mouth of a French who has chromosomal defects. I wonder if the dutch feel the same about the dutch half?

 

[CryptRat]

They make the best beers, so nothing else is important.

I second that

Rock paper scissors is still in. People on the stream loved it .

THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?

 

[LESS T_T]

A new difficulty mode has been added as well, called Tactician Mode, which changes enemy placement, behavior, skills, and challenge, crafting an even harder campaign for those who want a new mountain to climb.

To us Flemish sounds great (although we secretly laugh a bit about some words they use).

It's shitty whe using as negotiation minigame but I think it's OK if you are actually playing with your co-op partner.

It's shitty all around. If you want a persuasion minigame make a proper persuasion minigame.

Or just make the NPC tell players to fuck off if they can't reach agreement and let them work it out between themselves.

That would in many cases force them to play RPS IRL, which would make them put down the controlers, which is an another shoeah when it comes to immershun etc.

Maybe they could, you know, communicate? I know it's outlandish, but like talk and try to convince each other? Or failing that just punch each other into submission - I guess you shouldn't expect too much from controller wielders.

I second this. Their accent always gives me the impression that the entire country is full of lovable doofuses whom you can't dislike but who are hard to seriously as well.
