I can't.
I can't.
Dreams coming true. Should have brought a poet.
meow :3
I will be rolling druid for that werecat form. Any form of cat is better than an elf in my book.
i'll just make myself from one of the crazy head race
it looks too fucking cool to pass up
I think it's closed doors :/
Yeah it's scheduled press only (only a few at a time so they can actually show them the game and give them a good demonstration etc).
There's an embargo on the articles until next week. The embargo date is currently Thursday 6AM PDT, but I have a feeling they may waive that a bit earlier in the week, because there's no longer a PE Update on that day anymore.

Nice article from Red Bull: http://www.redbull.com/en/games/stories/1331658188490/pillars-of-eternity-interview
Nice indeed. Not much (any?) new information for us who have followed the game closely, but good to see some more mainstream exposure.

This isn't gonna release this year, is it
The devs think it will. I will remain optimistic that it will release this year.
IMO I really doubt it will
It'll be out this year. Their last update was pretty positive and relatively detailed in regards to the current state, the programming is feature locked and the programmers have moved on bug fix and polish. The narrative team has finished the critical path and has moved on to side content. And the animators have completed A and B priority items and have moved on to polish. At this point, barring a showstopper bug, it's just a question of how refined their content pipeline.
The pics in better quality:
I really can not wait for this and Divinity: OS and Wasteland 2.

Building your backstory in Kotor 2 was one of my favorite things. It was nice that for once that NPCs would ask you about your life instead of the questions always going in their direction. The PC had a life before becoming the world's saviour, chosen one, or whatever.

This game. I needs it.
Can't wait for the first GAFer to find my created in-game epic item from the Kickstarter "Dandy Hat of the Diseased Yak".

Hehe thanks! I asked them to make it boost charisma (or whatever equivalent stat the game has) by tons, but also requested that it have a small, non-harming humorous effect to it of their choosing. The dev replied that he could easily work with that, so I'm excited to see what they come up with!

I thought their melee engagement system was a great idea, especially given that it helps to correct a problem the IE games suffered from. It's great to see how they're planning on implementing their melee classes within this system. This is the original update on melee engagements: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity/posts/415136
I remember when people were pissing themselves after seeing that first round of concept art.

Water is not wet!
Yea that was great. i loved how later in the game there would be callbacks to your choices very early in the game. My favorite was the lightsaber color when meeting Atris for the first time. i dont know if she always does it but you can learn that she still has your lightsaber after all those years then lights it up to insult you. When i saw a silver blade come out.. was a very small touch with a great impact. The first time i played the game

when i finally confronted Atris the first dialogue option i picked was "I've come for my lightsaber Atris" *begin combat*
That looks bloody gorgeous.
I'm really hyped for the text-adventure-style cutscenes. I want to see more of these screens

I want to see Sawyer at work on Darklands 2.
Development seems to be going smoothly and there have been no indications of a delay to 2015.
