I was thinking of properly tagging with warnings like "Chapter X plot spoiler" or "companion sidequest spoiler", so people will know (roughly) what is being debated behind the spoilers. Otherwise it's just a mass of black bars that can mean anything.

This is so true. Lost my dad about three years ago. You can't get wasted moments back once your loved ones are gone. Appreciate them while they are here and do things that make their lives easier or that gives them joy. No games or other forms of entertainment are worth the regret you will feel if you choose to neglect a loved one to selfishly entertain yourself. Seriously.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Druid forms are all inherently melee-focused, so they pretty much lend themselves to that.

Ugh, my PC shut off unexpectedly while preloading.
What are the chances it has fuck up the preload?
I switched on steam and its continuing from where it left.

Druids can do everything. There's no real reason why anyone shouldn't be one.
Should be fine. Steam verifies as it goes, so you'll only lose a small chunk if anything.
If you have any doubts, after unpacking verify the game cache. That will ensure that 100% of your files are up-to-date.
What's the VIP-deal?

I want all that shit, but I don't care about the in-game stuff - and I don't have 90 bucks.
Cool, maybe I'll start the game on easy then scale up the difficult when I feel comfortable with the systems.

A few questions:
1. Can you spec a Druid to be a competent healer / buffer or do you need a Priest? Looking at the potential companions the Druid seems more interesting and I am on the fence with rolling with both.
2. Reviewing the available companions I think my final party will look something like: MC WIzard, Fighter, Paladin, Cipher, Druid, and X. Any suggestions for the 6th character? I will be going with 5 companions so I won't be creating any additional characters.
3. Any must have talents or spells for a Wizard?
Thanks!

There is a companion of every class except Rogue, Monk and Barbarian. The wizard companion is a Wood Elf called Aloth.
There's a wizard... but he's an elf.
Yeah, so, I just seriously got into Dark Souls for the first time like two days ago. And now I'm hooked. And now this is here. And I still have work to do.
God dammit.
On the plus side, I have been able to avoid pretty much everything regarding this game and will be going in completely blind, which is always a great feeling.
Edit: And since you're right above me, Durante -- whenever I start DS with DSfix and renderWidth/Height at 1920x1080 it opens up like that but resets to tiny res once anything actually loads. F8 fullscreen has been the only thing making the game playable, but it's still super low resolution. Am I doing something terribly wrong?

If they haven't nerfed it: slicken is legit.

Minor spoiler:
There are eight companions in the game, three classes are missing. There is not a rogue, barbarian, or monk companion available.
Quick guide for custom portraits, since I'm sure it'll come up:
You'll need two versions of any single custom portrait, both in .png format. Let's say the image is called 'warriordude'. One version will be the 'large' image, measuring 210 x 330 px, with a filename 'warriordude_lg.png'. The other version will be the 'small' image, measuring 79 x 96 px, with a filename 'warriordude_sm.png'. Important to note the _lg and _sm suffixes added to the base filename there.
Once you have your two images cropped, resized, reformatted and named correctly you need to navigate to \wherever\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\data\art\gui\portraits\player\ and there'll be a 'male' folder and a 'female' folder. Place both images in the relevant one.
It should now appear in-game!
And here's an Imgur gallery of portraits that's doing the rounds at the moment. I think it's pretty popular across the boards/websites, so if you care about having something unique, you may want to follow the above steps and source your own.

I am not positive, but I don't believe Druids in PoE are very heal-focused.
Half my sections tomorrow are presenting projects, and I still haven't decided what the other half will be doing...probably should have taken care of that already but 20 MORE MINUTES!!!
I've decided on Coastal Aumaua, but am stuck between
Rogue (do want for gameplay)
Monk (do want for flavor/RP)
Druid (do want for pure carnage)
Gaf, help...

I say Monk. They seem really interesting in this game, and there is no companion.
If I wasn't going Chanter, i would be going monk.

I have an extra backer key I can give you for $21 paypal if you want.
Yo, Obsidian?
I am furious, FURIOUS, and won't tolerate these kinds of shenanigans from Obsidian anymore. How dare they disrespect me (ME, A BACKER!!) by not uploading those digital rewards earlier. This is more than a slight. This is war.
They won't get a penny from me ever again. EVER.
I saw a post like this earlier at the official forums and just shook my head. And it was completely serious.

So fucking close and I'll have to leave at 5PM (GMT, one hour after release), I don't even know if I should start this game now or dig into it when I come back... I don't think I'll be able to wait.
12 minutes...
12 minutes...
I have OCD when it comes to making OT's. I need full control.
j/k
I tried to give you control of the thread so it wouldn't be the some sort of shitty advertisement for NeoGAF that it is but I accidentally deleted your account instead, weird.
Is the Attack Resolution scale of 1-100 for Miss/Graze/Hit/Crit still variable based on the outcome of Acc minus Def. So for every 5 points greater than the other the window shifts 5% in their favor. So if you have 25 Acc and they have 20 Def then the window shifts from 1-15 being a Miss to 1-10, Graze=11-45, Hit=46-95 and Crit=96+? And the other way around.
