Found a mod that autowins crusade battles. Using that now instead of built in auto. No wasting time, no missing out on content.

90 hours in and I hope Owlcat never stops making these games. The CRPG part is just like the classics but bigger and better, and with turn-based mode from launch so you can play Pathfinder/D&D like it was meant to be played. Story and writing is much improved over Kingmaker, but the management aspect is more poorly designed.

I tolerated the management in Kingmaker, but this one is just too like HoMM, but too basic and poorly designed at the same time so it just ends up as a giant waste of time. Not worth the effort when you could just be playing HoMM instead. Setting it to auto mode soon even though it'll make me miss out on loot rewards. Still, I appreciate them trying, and maybe they can salvage it with the help of modders and patches like they managed to add turn-based in Kingmaker. As that was what made Kingmaker take the step from above average to greatness for me.

Have you TRIED a 40" or larger TV as a display? I can't imagine having less vertical resolution as being an advantage. So now instead of full-frame, you're looking through a slit, like a tank, and the curve makes it so that anything other than games look weird. Try using Photoshop with no straight lines, or movies with bars on the left and right.

Movies generally use a cinema aspect ratio of ~21:9. It's TV shows that generally use 16:9.

Is there a difference between a company like Cloud Imperium Games doing early access for Star Citizen and Funcom doing early access for Conan Exiles?

is there a difference between a group like the christians claiming they are the "chosen people of god" and a group like the nazis claiming they are the "chosen people of god"?

No.

Good. I'm tired of mediocre games ruining the Deus Ex name.

It would be more appealing thematically and maybe at least slightly controversial if you were playing a German MG42 operator on D-day. Maybe next game!

Instantly backed. D:OS has the best RPG combat since Temple of Elemental Evil.

Doesn't look cyberpunk at all to me. Looks like some generic science fantasy Mass Effect-y game. Meh.

I shouldn't be, but I am a bit surprised at the bashing of the graphics. Who cares. be happy with a very well written game and a great experience, of which all of their games have been. Calm down.

Derp, graphics are for kids.

Except Bethesda games have the worst possible writing around. Let me remind you.

Three Dog: I fight the Good Fight with my voice here on Galaxy News Radio.
Lone Wanderer: [Intelligence] So you fight the Good Fight with your voice on Galaxy News Radio.

Graphics look fine. Obviously graphics whores are not part of the intended target audience.

Rob Pardo is actually no longer with Blizzard so the headline and story blurb is misleading.

PGI is the worst and anything they touch is doomed to failure.

I'm over 30 and I would consider myself a 'real gamer'. Gaming has been my life since about 6 years old when I got my NES. Yes, Fallout 3 is shit compared to Fallout 1 and if you disagree you're not a real gamer. Deal with it.

I have no idea who these people are, nor do I care about what they have to say about random Youtube comments, Reddit posts, Twitter posts, 4chan posts or any other random internet place arbitrarily associated with gaming. That shit has nothing to do with gaming itself. It's simply people who enjoy messing around and/or being hateful online, and apparently Gamasutra 'writers' fit the bill perfectly. (S)he who fights monsters. How's that for a trope.

I hope they take exactly as long as they feel they need to and ignore the impatient whiners. Making it count is infinitely more important than releasing before some arbitrary date, especially so when it comes to Obsidian and their history. That's what will turn this into a true success, both for Obsidian and everyone who backed it.

If you want to help, play the beta. If not, just fucking wait.

I don't know why developers/publishers don't offer a public beta test to everyone who preorders a game, whether on Kickstarter or at retail... The final release can only be better for it.

Because a project seldom profits from a public beta. Most, well, nearly ALL gamers dont know shit on how to report bugs or to make proper, valid gameplay & balancing suggestions. Most of them just want to play the game as early as possible and nothing more.

This is an extremely ignorant and flawed opinion and why games are mostly, well, nearly ALWAYS a complete mess upon release.

Newsflash: any time someone has their smartphone up, they could be filming. In metropolitan areas where people of the age of 30 or less hang out, that means pretty much all the time.

It's incredibly obvious when someone is filming or taking a picture with a smartphone. No one holds it camera-side pointed straight out in general use.

I hope you realize that there are more ways than one to hold a smartphone while filming, especially if you aim to film with stealth rather than quality.

Edit: See jdreyer's post below.

And who the hell says Glass is recording all the time?

The article notes that they pulled recorded video off of it showing the attacker. So just as the crowd suspected she was recording. Doesn't justify a violent reaction but she isn't blameless in this. Not everyone wants to live on Big Brother.

Yes? According to the article she was demonstrating the device to other interested people. They already live on Big Brother, Glass or no Glass. That is the point and why being hostile against something as specific as Glass users is nothing but ignorance.

I apologize for interrupting your rant.

Calling you out on your ignorance makes it a rant now does it?

When you call one person stupid and tell someone else "what the fuck does it matter"...yeah.

At least have the decency to quote me correctly if you're going to be dismissive in order to save face.

I suppose calling all users of Glass motherfuckers and saying they deserve to be physically assaulted is more in tune with your beliefs?

Tip of the iceberg. Hope all you Google Glass wearing motherfuckers are prepared for the beatings your gonna' get wearing those things. And deservedly so. Just wait till all the upskirt pervs and pedo bears get caught with them.

Can't tell if trolling or just stupid. Smartphones already do everything Glass does and they are EVERYWHERE, not to mention CCTV. If you're in public you're going to be filmed, period. Better start beating everyone using a smartphone or camera in public too I guess, just to be 'safe'.

I've not seen people duct taping a cell phone to the side of their head and leaving it recording all the time?

Why the fuck does it matter if it's attached to their heads or not? Worst argument ever. In fact, not being attached to your head makes it that much BETTER for say, upskirts, that was used as an example.

And who the hell says Glass is recording all the time? Newsflash: any time someone has their smartphone up, they could be filming. In metropolitan areas where people of the age of 30 or less hang out, that means pretty much all the time.
