I downloaded PoE and follow on March whatever it is) last night. I used to love Baldar's gate and Icewind Dale.

Anybody playing the expansion? Any impressions so far?

It's a two parter, so I'd wait till the other shoe drops before I make the purchase.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And the crowd funding has begun on the sequel: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire?utm_source=Obsidian&utm_campaign=CF17&utm_medium=featuresite

For $1,000 you can buy a share and invest in the game. Huh. That is new.

interesting stories are great, but obsidian has really bogged its games down lately in text and hyperlinks to more text about various aspects of the IG world that isn't even very interesting. it's like fluff for the sake of fluff, and the fluff is shoved into your face in every conversation

I'm the dude that reads every book that finds in those games. I love me a good world-building.

I found it dull. :blush: I like world building but really like it to serve a purpose.

It is a pretty niche genre these super nerdy RPGs. It's no big deal.

Speaking of nerdy RPGs of a slightly different sort: what do you think of that Hussite Bohemia RPG coming out soon? Kingdom Come: Deliverance it is called. You can butcher Tamas' ancestors by the bushel.

Hey now, Hungary is responsible for something pretty important.
