Those chanter spell names own bones, god drat. Really nice to see the kind of attention to detail there, a lot of lesser devs would just give them basic spell names and called it good. It makes me confident about what the final quality of the game overall when even the small things like that are given special attention and flair while still managing to communicate their in-game mechanics and usage.

Wanna play dem chanters, wanna read dem stories.

If he doesn't think she's pretty enough, he'll try to remove her from his party. By killing her off if possible. That's all.

Man, There's a lot of interesting information there, I love it all. I'm not sure that I like the echo effects of the chanting voice, though.

edit: no. I really don't like the echo effect. I'd rather it be a normal voice. It feels so out of place. The fighters don't echo, I'd hope.

Basically seems to be the typical output of a deranged WASP/MRA who thinks seeing more women and not-white people in games will Ruin Everything. The last sentence tells the story:

Pretty much a guarantee he was going to say something like "real men" or "appealing women" or, if he was especially delusional, just plain "white guys."

I imagine he writes quite a few letters to the Telegraph about "bloody foreigners." When he's not scouring eBay for additions to his riding crop and pith helmet collection, that is.

Will the ability descriptions of the chanter chants include a summary of the story that they are from? I want to know who the Brideman was and who was he slaying or whose spirits does "If their Bones Sleep Still Under that Hill, None Can Say" summon.

E: Also are there bonuses for telling complete stories? Like if certain chants all come from the same story and you use them all in the right order.

Watching pilgrims also meant they had to watch their valuables, and then the whole banking thing grew out of that.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!


quote:

When players make a paladin or priest character, they select an order or deity, respectively. Each choice highlights two types of behavior that are celebrated and two types of behavior that are condemned. For priests and paladins played as the main character, their Holy Radiance and Faith and Conviction power will shift based on their behavior. Reinforcing their deity's or order's preferred behavior will gradually increase their power, while playing against type will cause a small diminishment in their power.

This makes me happy.

Yeah, truly I'm the real rear end in a top hat here. Laughing at idiots posting on the internet about how they can't jerk off to a woman in plate armor with big feet is really the only thing I have to live for. That and keeping the white man down by making fun of said idiots, obviously.

The seemingly large amount of inter-connectivity between player behavior and class and race and NPC's makes me real excited. Alpha Protocol is the goto example with Obsidian obviously but even going smaller with games like TellTale's games have shown me that I don't need the entire plot to change because I did one thing over another, just changing how the characters perceive me (as long as it lasts for than one scene Mass Effect) is enough to get me invested in everything.

So, even if it's not all finalized, and we still don't know if they're all going to be companions... I think with this Aumaua chanter, we have eight potential companions we've heard of now- which would be all of them, if they were indeed all companions.

With eleven classes and only eight characters, I think that leaves Druid, Fighter, and Barbarian the three without any representation. Which is a pity if that's the case, as I have no desire to play as a fighter or barbarian myself, so it would have been nice to have them as companion options.

Well, they did say that classes can synch with each other. I think I remember them saying that stacking Chants from multiple Chanters was hardcore poo poo.
