Redding is teh hard

Nothing on that sentence even remotely implies that

Actually that sencente means that you have that breastplate, and you can put an enchantement on it, or maybe modify if with a rune or something. It specifically doesn't say that you can CHANGE them.

Ok, ok, I get it. Jesus... You grammar nazis should go and help Felipe in proof reading his book.

If you remove Pallegina's Breastplate from her armor slot, and you don't put it back, what else do you expect to be able to put there hm?

And yes it does say you can "take" those items. Notice the use of and/or meaning that you can take it (and equip it yourself - no gear restrictions), you can take it and enchant it (wear it yourself and enchant it), or you can just enchant it and let her wear it.

 

[Semper]

there surely was some stout ale within that drinking horn of yours.

 

[Rivmusique]

What does Pallegina's model look like when no breastplate is equipped? This is important. And do you need to have a certain standing with the NPC to remove it? I don't think m'lady would let any uncouth PC remove it, only one who has charmed her with his keen intellect :D.

 

[SophosTheWise]

The pcgames.de is, in my opinion, definitely the best look on the game. Lots of small bits of information that make me glad.

 

[Sensuki]

It's two months after. I think it will be fine.

Feargus Urquhart doesn't want to release it in December. It'll be October or November.

That's autumn, not winter. That said being in internal beta at this stage of the year kind of surprised me, although I have an inkling that Alpha 2 may have been changed to Beta 1.

 

[ZagorTeNej]

This game is going to be way too difficult for the modern Biodrone.

Eh, I sincerely doubt that, a good part of Obsidian's fanbase consists of pretentious, pseudo intellectuals and storyfags who have as much interest in game mechanics and challenging combat as your average modern Biodrone (the difference being that instead of romances they're in it for the mature story) so as a consequence I expect easy difficulty to be painfully easy. That said I do believe (and hope) higher diffculties will be balanced around being a decent challenge for IE veterans.

Content-wise, there are no romances, no awesome buttans@@!!!, and no half-naked pirate ladies doing backflips in high heels to challenge your notion of gender roles.

Definitely true.

Winter starts December 21 and that's far too late in his own words ("it’s not going to be the day before Christmas either.”).

 

[Sensuki]

No reason it can't be early December though.

 

[Roguey]

Yeah, I imagine that, as with the backer site, if it's ready-enough-to-ship only just before Thanksgiving, they'll hold off on it till the first or second week of December.

 

[Sensuki]

I'm gonna roll with Tuesday 9th December

The important thing is that once her breastplate is off, we should be presented with a body that accurately reflects the average woman so nobody is Bodyshamed.

 

[Abelian]

That sounds like a bad part of Obsidian's fanbase to me.

The important thing is that once her breastplate is off, we should be presented with a body that accurately reflects the average woman so nobody is Bodyshamed.

And when we take off her pants, there should be a bulge in her crotch so that transgender people aren't underrepresented in video games.

While I appreciate the previews, screenshots, and interviews, isn't it about time we get more substantial gameplay videos of this game? Of all the incline RPG kickstarter games, how come this is the only one that still hasn't done an alpha release? How about giving backers access to that demo now that E3 is over? It's been over a year and a half now. Are they hiding something?

 

[Semper]

Are they hiding something?

stiff animation story
btw backer beta will start around mid to late summer.

 

[poetic codex]

^Seems awfully late. Wasteland 2 received significant changes due to backer feedback. how much use will our feedback be with such a short time frame? I just find it a bit weird that there is so little substantial gameplay demonstrations. It usually doesn't bode well.

sawyer doesn't need your pathetic feedback to balance. the beta was all about your money, and you happily paid.

i think it's just obsidian are much more reluctant than inxile to share unfinished content. it's like any other game for them, with all the press management that entails. only thing that's different is they're running a very active devblog

When demo comes out, the game will be content locked. Your feedback will be only usefull for bug-hunting, and numbers tweaking. This game won't be made with the help of the community like Wasteland 2 was

fix'd

 

[Athelas]

there are three ways to escape the ruin:

solve floor puzzle

destroy a wall(e.g. with items or with enough might)

get the help of the xaurip ( You must get him some food)

Three different ways just to go through the tutorial dungeon? Hope that keeps up for the rest of the game. If so, definite
