Not in the cards, unfortunately, at least for the foreseeable future. A tablet version is actually possible and they made a prototype just to see if it could be done, but it's not planned as of now.

Yeah it doesn't require a ton of power and run smoothly on laptops with Intel chipsets. Which is surprising as most Unity games I've played have been horribly optimized.

Can't get into spoilers right now, but Durance and Grieving Mother are the two Avellone companions. They hew pretty close to his "rotten, self-appointed mentor" and "woman who communicates through descriptive prose" archetypes.

Oh it makes Wasteland 2 look like amateur hour in every way, but to be fair WL2 was and is a straight sequel game whereas PoE only follows from the IE games in the broadest aesthetic strokes. InXile painted themselves into a corner by refusing to radically revise anything out of a 27-year old game.

First I remember it was in KOTOR2 - they wanted to account for the possibilities of KOTOR1 but using old saves wasn't possible, so in one of the first conversations you have the NPC starts talking about Revan and how she was Sith. You could say "no, she was a Jedi" or "actually Revan was a he" etc. and that choice…

Savescumming is the old term (dating back to its original coinage in the wake of the release of X-COM). Something in a game didn't go the way you wanted? Reload and try again. Goes for character deaths, in-game gambling, or random loot generation.

Making a skirmisher character who breaks front lines without getting gibbed by disengagement attacks is possible, but it requires a lot of talent investment that could be used for other things.

Most of the skills are useful at higher tiers (athletics… not so much), it's just that you have to go out of your way to use them. Lore has dialogue implications but a character that can use scrolls can turn the tide of a fight (the shocking grasp equivalent is NUTTY), high mechanics gets greater accuracy on set traps…

Seems unlikely at this point, unfortunately - while Obsidian kept their promise to make their data structures simple and easy to understand / edit / create, they built PoE on Unity 4.5, which has no free end user tools. As such any modding that goes beyond number tweaking requires a $900 investment ($75/month Unity…

I was a backer and have been an Obsidian booster for a long time - even tried my damnedest to recompile all the lore around Black Isle's Fallout 3, through correspondences with Josh Sawyer (the project lead on Pillars) and Avellone, a decade ago. It's good to see this game doing so well. Obsidian was literally at…

It's all moot anyway - they're likely to continue tweaking mechanics on a pretty deep level as the patches wear on. There's stuff in the game that's indisputably broken (Ciphers) and stuff that's really underpowered (paladins, but especially rangers)

Didn't she say before she shot Wesley that she'd done it before

Grad / law students can live in the Columbia dorms / student apartments. They are really nice

A guilt-free, life-loving catholic?? You're gonna have to draw a diagram for us

Much like its comic equivalent takes after its DC counterpart, the DD TV show takes after the recent Batman movies, in that it is clearly very scared of hewing too close to the general preposterous nature of its premise. It's the kind of comic adaptation in which no one has a moniker and everyone is referred to by…

It's mainly because there's such a stark difference between Manhattan pre- and post-Guliani it practically induces whiplash. As gross as the subways still can be, NYC was actually as hellish and grimy as Death Wish and The Warriors and Escape From New York made it out to be at one point in time. In the present day…

If you think that's ridiculous, you should check out any given episode of Banshee

If nothing else, keeping superpowered stuff at the margins really does work for the show (and I almost always find mafia-centered plots in superhero comics to be incredibly dull), but either due to budgets or the way they shoot or both, going a bit bigger, as they inevitably will, is going to work out a lot better…

Has been for two or three episodes. The governor admits as much to Dan

He has a lot going on. He's drunk, dying, and the son he abandoned murdered a guy and he feels responsible.
