$1,700,568

When I made my pledge, the counter was at 1,666,666. Should I be worried?

 

[Mangoose]

I dunno, I don't really lean either way as long as it is well implemented.

 

[Jaesun]

Perhaps it was a sign the EVIL SATANIC PUBLISHER OVERLORDS are bout to be thrown down and the glorious incline in gaming will come... That's probably what it means octavius.

It is only fitting, considering your location.

They are having a pretty good day. 90K on day #6.

 

[Jaesun]

And 26 more days to go. AND they have not even implemented Paypal yet.

I DOUBT it will get the 10 mil that TIME magazine stated however.

You're thinking about Kristian [oh, the irony!] Vikernes, or Varg Vikernes as it calls itself now?

 

[oldmanpaco]

oldmanpaco I ain't doing a thing without some jink in my pocket, cutter. Pull out 'em commons.

Jaesun said you were a bro but I see the truth. You're just a mole trying to keep a brother down.

Not particularly, there's a lot of better bands that are based in / originated from that area.

Tigranes is a BRO.

EDIT: You also FAILED a PS:T Lore Check of oldmanpaco.

Someone come up with a Choice and Consequences thread. I can't think of anything good to write up. :/

I really don't care even about C&C in this game. All I want is some dungeon romper in ye olde looks where I can level my shit up and maybe talk to NPC once or twice a (gaming) day.

Wow I finally learned what C&C means, I even used in an argument few days ago without knowing, thanks guys!

No.

R00fles what is this crap? Cheap chinese knockoff of an authentic MCA Troll™?

Apparently there are players out there who think RPGs are just really dumbed down adventure games with combat: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60396-how-forgiving-is-your-cup-of-tea-plot-difficulty-thread/

TBH it would be nice if there were some moron traps - like "You gave the Artifact of Doom to the bad guy, what were you thinking - game over, man"

Well, sure, like telling Lou the location of the vault. But that's not a "puzzle" that you need to solve to progress through the game.

I saw her avatar and screamed in horror and closed my browser. What's the TLDR Version?

I did the same and, unlike you, I'm not gay. I can't even imagine the horror you experienced.

 

[Infinitron]

I take it Jaesun is not into "fag hags".

It begins.

A mechanic similar to MoTB Spirit Meter is a great way to discourage rest-scumming.

At the same time it's a majestic dumbfuck detector

A Spirit Meter-like mechanic would be a massive incline for PE. The added advantage of pissing of the retards would add some extra flavor too. The way things are going, with Obsidian trying to please as many people as possible, I have little hope for such a development... unless we get Ziets on board. We need George Ziets, stat!

Gawd I would KILL to have Justin Sweet do avatars for this game <3

I think the she-dwarf ranger was pretty sweetesque...

- Regarding party characters, I have one extremely random suggestion. Much like the Space Hamster appeared in the Mass Effect games, I have always viewed Minsc and Boo as these characters who could show up in any game/any setting. Provided you can get a hassle-free allowance from whoever owns the rights to the character, I would love to see Minsc and Boo appear as characters in the game. If you're at all intrigued, it's worth at least a casual inquiry to see what it would take and I think it would make an interesting stretch goal.

There sure are a lot of Minsctards (Bootards?) out there.

of George Ziets. He says:

So unless players found a way to “cheat” the curse (which many did), they were discouraged from exploring our side content and enjoying the game the way they wanted to enjoy it.

But why should they cater to morons who can't reach a high enough level of understanding of the game system so that they can "cheat" it? What he's saying is that he would do the same thing that the present-day popamole developers do, which is that when players discover unintended mechanics and take advantage of them, they swoop in and ban people. With people like these around, awesome emergent mechanics like the rocket-jump of old, or Tribes' skiing would have never existed. I am disappoint of Greg Ziets.
