You have to understand that a lot of cRPG gamers that started in the 1980s are now around 50-60 years old. Please be kind to the old people

Man I kind of want this game. All I have is a 2012 Macbook Air, and a Surface Pro 3 (i7). Will either of those run it at a decent framerate?

Glad it's my birthday today so I can play this without upsetting the lady and without interruption. Most of my free playing time is going to be spent in character creation though.... I have a problem with perfection. Hopefully I'll have time to actually play it.
I never thought I would be playing a new game like this in this day and age and I feel like a kid again. How's everyone liking it so far? Is it everything you've ever dreamed and more?

Anyone else having issues with multiple monitors and screen edge scrolling? It doesn't look the cursor to the window but about half of the time it will still scroll with the mouse off the screen. The other half of the time I have to get it just right at the edge to scroll which makes it rather annoying. I would prefer to just lock the cursor to the window but I can't seem to find an option for that.
Edit: Nevermind I guess I just missed the option like a dummy, crisis averted.

There is a cage cursor option in there somewhere, but I think Sensuki said it was bugged.

I'm feeling kinda bummed out that there's no Rogue companion. If I want to do a hard playthrough, I feel obligated to have my main character a rogue, rather than my preferred class.
The hard setting implies that you'll have to min/max (to a degree). So I assume doubling up on a DPS class, and missing a rogue / scout is a big deal. What's everyone else doing?

Isn't that what the cage cursor option is? Though someone said it was bugged in beta and kept resetting.
There is an option to lock cursor. It's in Graphics section of the options.
Yea I just noticed that, I must have just glossed over it in the settings, thanks! Hopefully it isn't bugged as you mentioned the beta was.
So many Vailian characters. Mine is Anaïs Catarina Magistrelli.
It is bugged. I just turned off Edge Scrolling.

Anyone know if there's an option to auto center on the player when moving? I don't see anything in the menus.

I haven't played yet but I would guess if you double click the character portrait it will center on the person, but it won't follow him.

And now I made it past character creation just to have it crash during the first bit of dialogue. Time to make my character AGAIN.

Yeah that centers on the character. Really want an option to keep centered on them while moving. Especially since the keys for scrolling are arrow keys and I'm right handed. Wasteland 2 had this option.
There's no way to rest?Just alt-tabbing to say that (i) it's soooooo good and (ii) 4 casts per rest with no way of resting sucks

Little over an hour in and something crazy unexpected happens. The writing is really good so far, and it looks amazing too.

Lorebook is so good. All of the gods are awesome. Worshipping Skaen is no joke.

that's exactly what I chose. I like him so far, his knockdown ability is nice

I very much disliked Divinity Original Sin due to its total lack of direction, no hints, walls of boring and repetitive text, and extremely vague logs/objectives
Does Pillars fare better in this regard?

2) Buy camping equipment from stores.
3) Done via deflection, part of your skills, buffs, items. Then a dice roll.
4) Rest. You can't refill health. You regain endurance.
if you dont find anything salvageable in those methods you're probably not gonna like it
tho, this being Obsidian, it's bound to be better written than Divinity
Even Normal can be fairly hard, so I would assume that Hard is quite hard.
I WOULDN'T assume a rogue is mandatory, though. There are more classes than there are party slots, so although I haven't played Hard, I can't imagine it's tuned in such a way to require that degree of min/maxxing.
And besides, if a Hard playthrough is your 2nd playthrough, you'll probably want to roll up a custom party at an inn anyway.

Wow Neogaf really had a lot to do with this game becoming a reality, really appreciate the effort guys, this game is going to be great!

Yeah I let out an audible "OH NO" when I used my spells on the first few guys and realized there was still a LOT of fighting left until I could get a camping set. Thankfully there's a mage spell you can always use 2 times per fight.
Which is ironic because that's why I love that game. This game is meaty in the text department. I highly doubt you'll get lost though.
Good to know, building a mage when I get home from work.. Gah work..
YESSSSS. The one true OT title is here!
The more I think about my starting character the more I want to make a rogue. I won't overlap with companions (not that I care too much about that anyhow -- I'll end up playing a mostly created party for twinking fun later), the skills seem really fun and I get to have a designated scout which seems like it will come in handy.

Man, those were the days when homes were built the proper way.
Fuck you, XXI century architecture.
You need a single camping set every time you want to rest
Which means I'm gonna end up buying every single camping set I can to keep myself maxed out lol
Shake tell me what sort of name a Ixamitl Orlan female would have.
I watched a little of Giant Bomb playing and they had one in the group that they "made" at an INN? There is still hope.

Yeah, auto attacks with a mage also aren't completely useless so it isn't that bad starting out.
And never use them. Thats the key to success in RPGs
Original Sin is a great game despite its many issues, mostly thanks to the fun and inventive turn-based combat system and the wonderful full-campaign co-op option. Larian have everything to be proud of, and OS fully deserved its success and recognition and was one of the best games of 2014 for certain.
That being said, I'm laughing giddily even attempting to compare it to PoE's tutorial because I don't think my brain can yet reconcile how this game actually exists in the world.
haha I shouldn't multitask when I'm browsing gaf.
you can recruit custom created characters at INNs yeah, not unlike Divinity
still tho a proper main game rogue with a backstory would be nice, i'd rather fill my party with those
Yeah, exactly. I'm really glad for the stash too since I tend to hoard shit

Ha, I'm finally done with real life, fuck it.
Any tips on Monk stats? I'm thinking going 14 Might, 17 CON, 17 DEX (10 everything else). Resolve sounds cool but since Monks need to be hit, should I care? A couple of points in it maybe? Or maybe reduce?
