Ok, not being able to find the cheat key because Josh has a Das Keyboard is pretty funny.

I mostly found it funny he's almost already died three times over, he seems to have forgotten how to play wizards. Edit: And now he's somehow managed to drag a living corpse along. Edit 2: vvv I don't think he'd put him on if he hadn't watched some of his work. And yes, it is mostly a persona. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Nov 13, 2014 |

This guy playing it is absolutely insufferable. I can only assume this is some sort of forced personality, he is very grating. Josh must have the patience of a saint.

He seems fine most of the time but the rest of it is him acting super forced and fake, i have no clue why so many youtubers do that but someone must like it. Its cool that it seems even in the early game you get murdered if you make many super dumb mistakes. edit: Jackard posted:Jesse Cox has teamed up with TotalBiscuit in the past - never really cared for him there so doubt I'm missing much.

I guess I would just like to see someone genuinely enthusiastic about these type of RPG games. I may be mistaken, but this guy heavily gives the impression that he has never heard of Baldurs Gate before he turned up to Obsidian HQ. Perhaps he will draw in a crowd who haven't experienced this type of game before, and thus he will help generate some more sales or something.

Yep, pretty standard Jesse Cox. He tends to talk to fill space and can latch onto the tiniest detail and try to joke about it. Sometimes he can be pretty funny, but it feels forced when it fails.

Point of bringing these people in is to expose the game an audience that might not normally be interested.

Scorchy posted:Point of bringing these people in is to expose the game an audience that might not normally be interested. Yes, that is the conclusion I came to eventually. One question I had from watching the screen is that I noticed all of the crafting items, for example jade, all had the same (placeholder ?) icon. Will they all have neat pixel art icons in the end or will they always just be a generic bag icon ?

I want to say they've said the plan is to give them all unique icons but i cant find any quotes about it.

It would be much cooler examining the dragons horde to find an array of sparkling gems, than 10 identical "generic crafting icon" things for sure. It could be one of those things that is easily moddable and someone will fill the void.

That icon is just a placeholder, yeah, they noted a lot of icons are missing in the original Backer Beta FAQ thingy. That said, it looks like the game won't get the same sketchy art that accompanied item descriptions in the Infinity Engine titles (well, most of them, I don't think Planescape: Torment had that).

Will you make consumables usable directly from the inventory? In the stream they had to put a beer bottle in a quickslot before they could drink it, which seems cumbersome.

rope kid posted:Passive Talents either have class-specific or general icons. You only ever see them on the selection screen. We're going to be organizing the Talents list with tabs so it's easier to sort them. Serious question. Can any creature of any size be gibbed, i.e. crit hitting a dragon and gibbing it? A pre order hangs in the balance to this question.

Personally I hope a crit kill just has a cool effect on most enemy types. Humanoids get gibbed, larger ones like ogres get decapitated and so do dragons. Hell if there'a any worm like creatures I'd like for them to just get "gibbed" into two sections sliced in the middle.

Some creatures need to have custom gibs made to match their appearance or it's extra goofy. The core game logic just checks to see if the attack that killed them was a Crit and if they have gib models. If both are true, they will spawn gibs. Do skeletons collapse comically into a pile of bones normally? If you crit them, do they explode in a shower of tibias and ribcages? BTW game is looking good.

Just in case someone missed it, Champion Edition showed up on GOG. Are those extras different from backer tier ones so that I may throw up €45 on it come December?

I don't know if it's because I'm in Vietnam or something, but I can never get that twitch.tv website to work. Got a decent speed connection, but I can at best get a second or two of video before neverending buffering. Is there anywhere else hosting that livestream footage?

You could try checking either https://www.youtube.com/user/ParadoxExtra , or https://www.youtube.com/user/Paradoxplaza . Quite often Paradox split up their Twitch livestream stuff and put it on one of those channels a few days after the streams.

But...if I can't gib a dragon or something, Ima be sad:( But I was gonna pre order anyways, the game looks awesome, and someeone who cares enough about it to consistently post here is truly dedicated so you deserve it anyways.

Do corpses still disappear after a short time? I was going to watch the Jesse Cox stream to find out, but I failed my willpower check. *~immersion~* hangs in the balance here. The preorder trailer is a work of art. I know Pillars is supposed to evoke BG/IWD, but I got some strong ToEE 2 feels in the visuals department, and that is good.

For what I played the game seems amazing but I really hope corpses doesn't dissapear like in the early alpha, or at the very least there would be a slider for persistant corpses/peformance.
