[Transfiguring Roar]

I urge them while the game is still in development to change the positioning of perception and resistance so that the stats acronym is McDrip.

Good call. Or maybe change intelligence to enlightenment and shuffle it around to mcderp.

Experience bar says 9231/10000 yet the line is only like 70% filled?

 

[SCO]

Maybe mockup.

 

[Harold]

Yeah, he said on SA that the whole thinh is a mockup so , hopefully, the actual final version will cover the full screen.

It does take up the whole screen... on a 1280x720 monitor, the minimum they're supporting. I dunno if they're going to make a 1920x1080 version.

Oh good news

Our two UI "base" resolutions will be built for 1280x720 and 1920x1080 with the ability to scale up.

Though since I'm slightly below 1920x1080 I get the small UI. Oh well.

 

[Grunker]

Cool beans.

 

[Sensuki]

Unfortunately I had to sell my 2560x1440 monitor for cash last year.

I don't think the 1080P UI will be full screen.

The main HUD almost definitely won't be, but if it is

 

[Disgruntled]

Starting to get an inkling of hype for this. Whens the non-backer beta again?

 

[Irenaeus]

Why didn't you back it in September 2012, heretic?

Wasnt sold on kickstarter back then.

That and greed.

Pallegina

paladin + vagina ... Sawyer's avatar for defending feminist ideology?

 

[Hormalakh]

Did... did you just compare Sawyer's 'linguistic' capabilities to Tolkien's? hahaohwow.jpg

nobody said that they thought sawyer's linguistic skills weren't up to scratch (edit: some people did say this, i don't have an issue with that, as pallegina makes me rage so hard my butthurt is giving me ass cancer). they stated that they just hated the fact that he was trying to do it to the point of him being pretentious. that's what i was commenting on. i can't compare the two capabilities because i know little about both.

 

[dunno lah]

There should be dialogue choices to make fun of Paladin Vagina's name.

 

[Surf Solar]

I hope the game will be moddable to the point to rename those nonsense naming convensions

 

[thesheeep]

Imagine an adventuring party with her where one of the guys just can't stay serious and keeps giggling while she's talking.
Awesome!

 

[Severian Silk]

I don't see how the arches in the OP can stay standing. Shouldn't the curved parts collapse if you remove the keystone? Isn't the whole point of a keystone to prevent the rest of the arch from collapsing?

 

[thesheeep]

It's kinda like Jenga. If you remove vital parts, it doesn't collapse directly, but becomes highly unstable. And strong wind will probably cause those structures to collapse.

Also, they are not necessarily just stones lying on each other. They may be "glued" together with some sort of clay. Ask the architect!

If you're gonna use glue why make an arch in the first place?

Now that is a good first post.

So good in fact, that he never posted again.

Well, in english. Considering Valian is meant to be italian it doesn't really sound similiar at all.

Ofc it might have still been intentional.

Obsidian's artists are full of morons.

See that? Right behind Mike, over his right shoulder. An anti-gravity arch. I know it’s a small detail and doesn’t seem like a big deal to a lot of people, but as game developers our job is to craft experiences. There will always be things that take the player out of the experience, at the most basic level, the method of transmission (video, audio, tactile in the form of a controller) will always limit the depth of experience. But things like a magic floating archway or mystery skyscrapers don’t need to happen, they are avoidable. You just need to be paying attention.

It'd be funny if it was the same artist.

The arch didnt colapse because it is in

Closer to the truth than you imagine seeing how there's one piece that's copy pasted all over...
Of course in same instances the two halves would have never met because they're rotated at stupid angles or too far apart from each other.

Copy/Paste + Rotate XTRAVAGANZA!!

In Italian is worse, it's sounds like Balls(Palle)+Vagina(in Italian is the same) practicallt a Tranny.
