Jesus, Chris Avellone will be happy.

Can anyone tell me what were the Codex Items?

RPG Codex: Putting the swords back in RPG. RT @jesawyer other than the RPG codex items, only 3 people requested swords and only 2 armor.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get to see the Cadegund portrait this update. I can't imagine there'll be a Chanter companion though.

They're pretty much obligated to make a Fighter companion, probably an Aumaua and then one out of Druid, Chanter and Barbarian.

I asked this before and was met with only silence.

So DarkUnderlord just made up some shit himself and submitted it without our acknowledgment.

 

[Infinitron]

The staff have decided that the Codex's final submission should remain a secret. You'll have to wait until the game is released. Sorry.

 

[Goegoff]

Even the types of items?

 

[Perkel]

Ultimate hardcore RPG codex items are so hardcore that you won't be even able to tell that they are created by codex people and so hard to find that most of RPG codex won't find them.

or

they will be useless shit like Dirty panties of an she-male elf

You'll know you found it when all your dialogue options will be replaced with: racist, optimistic, agree, disagree etc.

Can anyone tell me what were the Codex Items?

Aside from a couple of "quest" items related to the Codex location, most of our items were those promised by MCA & Co. to the top donors of our fundraiser. These are just standard ("non-epic") weapons named in accordance with the donors' wishes.

And yes, those include a bunch of swords. Hence Sawyer's comment. There are also warhammers, firearms, spears, and other stuffies and thingies. If people involved want to disclose what item they asked for exactly, they can always do it.

I wonder if this is a good test as to which CD key sites are dodgy?

Well, been a while since I last went to the Obsidian forums. Might be fun! I thought.

Tomes are lame.

Someone photoshop these two.

Yes that's a bizarre thread.

Favourite bit was "I like being magic, not a nerd."

At which point Volourn of all people arrives to confirm that the OP is, in fact, a nerd.

 

[FeelTheRads]

I want to be a dragon, not a reptile.

 

[Delterius]

Oh God this is beautiful. Can't brofist enough.

If I could I'd trap that poster's character on a library full of book shaped rust monsters. The only way to survive being finding the only real grimoire but - oh wait - you're just an illiterate sorcerer, aren't you?

Who exactly was part of the "staff"?

This look and sound very cool.

 

[Xeon]

Is Kana Rua a companion?

Is the Chants and Invocations names the names of the spells or what the voicing will say when they cast?

Edit:

While Eora's wizards are known for their "colorful" spell names, chanters' phrases are far more loquacious, often incorporating the entire spoken text of the phrase.

I think this means its the name of the spells and not just what they say.

 

[Infinitron]

As explorers of many lost and forgotten vaults dating back to Eora's antiquity, chanters also have a bonus to Mechanics, helping them bypass tricky locks and traps.

Eora? Did they just reveal the name of the game world?

Edit:

In the world of Eora, priests do not gain power directly from their deity, but from their belief in the deity and the tenets of their religion.

Yep.

 

[Decado]

Priest class sounds interesting. Will probably be the first caster class that I play.

My first class will definitely be a two hand weapon wielding paladin who has trust issues and is annoying to be around. Playing religious zealots is always good fun, because they are so insufferable in real life I like inflicting their shitty personalities onto video game characters.
