We only know of the Big Head Mode atm which I believe you collect heads/skull in-game to access.

That seems like a pretty good way to go about unlocking big head mode.

This is a bit surprising. Looks like *EVERYBODY* was warned off by the note on the Form and the OE forum thread.



On that note though, Chris Avellone will be happy, as he hates swords.

Items:* Please, if it's at all possible, consider making something that is not a sword. I think we say this in the survey, but I'd like to repeat it here. There are no junk weapon types in Pillars of Eternity. Even daggers and clubs are good weapons. The same applies to armor and shields. Every type has trade-offs, so if you want to make a suit of awesome padded armor, someone will wear it.

Perhaps people misread that as "don't make armor?", I'm not sure.

Too bad. The world needs more leather armor.

Maybe they will work this into the world where making large metal objects magical is extremely difficult but smaller jewelry can be done more easily..?

Hey, everyone. Tomorrow's update (5/13) is being pushed until Wednesday (5/14). There are a few things that we want to polish before showing off to you guys.

Also of note, we are going to try out posting the update in the morning instead of the afternoon. Look for it around 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

Yeah, pretty sure they asked the community to hold off on those because they have them covered and also maybe because more crazy stuff can come from not-armor and not-swords. "Crowd-designing" those is the way to go, it'll be more varied.

Does that mean we're getting a video? Showing off doesn't sound like the traditional written update, especially as it was due to be on priests and chanters.

I already designed two uniques for every weapon type, but I was more concerned with trying to differentiate and distribute 40+ swords that were all creator-described as being "the best weapon in the game". Thankfully, backers designed a variety of items at different power levels, which allows us to fill a lot of gaps pretty easily.

One sword should be the one from Sword and the Sorcerer, which shoots two of its three blades. A sword that shoots swords.

The guys who compiled the Encyclopedia Magica effectively made that into an AD&D sword (see: Tri-Entity).
