Pillars of Eternity - Leads Meeting Video

If you ever wanted a look into how the various developers at Obsidian act during a meeting about the development of Pillars of Eternity then your in luck my friends.

Here is a new twenty minute video that shows exactly that.

Have you ever wanted to sit in a Pillars of Eternity leads meeting? Now is your chance. I can't promise that it will be the most exciting 20 minutes you will spend, but it should give you some insight into our daily processes.

More information.

They all look pretty fried. It also seems as if the tools they use are inefficient and require manual tweaking more often than not.

Hoping for a relatively bug-free launch in a couple months…

Expect lots of bugs, they use Wifi in their office, which makes concentration difficult, scrambles thinking. Despite initial nice creative efforts like their 2D/3D engine outlook.

Pillars of Eternity is a tiny flicker - in light strength - compared to the awesome fun sunshine radiance of Dragon Age Origins Ultimate (DAO) with 200+ best & biggest mods installed, awesome retexture monster + NPC works, breath taking natural bodies and main NPC face remodels, countless MOD hours poured in by hundreds of people, GUI/Large font mods, romance, zesty sex scenes (haven't seen those yet).

People realized: the modded DAO is a brilliant gem bringing the Mass Effect soap operas - we all love: flirting and romances - back and get this: mods and complete overhauls are still being done and recently started, now how is that for an "old" game, that was made look beautiful lately?

Are there mods that make combat more bg like?
Mods that remove so much grinding of same encounters?
Mode that remove gifts as main romance tool?

In the meantime I've discovered that wifi nohow affects my own concentration.
Everringing bloody phones - do!

I want phones out of my office! The chief refuses to ban them and move to e-mail use only.

Personally, I find open landscapes terrible for my concentration, regardless of whether or not people try to keep quiet. It's just a terrible idea. So many people around and so many moving about. Also, as my job is usually done in a team, we need to be able to communicate rather freely with other team members. It completely ruins the flow to always go into a meeting room or some such thing just to discuss some programming issue.

This is a joke right? There is probably a homoeopathic remedy for it anyway (containing the memory of wifi or something).

Has there been a serious study about this? This is very important as most workplaces have wifi now!

I know in the past there has been studies about high frequency, high power waves specifically from older mobile phones and how they negatively affect living tissue (well in a similar manner dielectric atoms are excited and vibrated in a microwave).

I am also intrigued by the notion of our brains 'picking up' or 'listening' to wifi signatures!

They look so tired, clearly they neglected to bring coffee. Priorities people!

You cannot be serious.

That WIFI comment is one of the dumbest things I have read on this site to be honest.

I think & hope SpoonFULL was being sarcastic.

Who knows with Mercy as I recommend everyone to ignore him.

I meant the stupidest comment I have read was the original one….my head honestly hurts contemplating why anyone would think that.

I *do* however get emails about the evil of Wifi in our schools though…

I recommend using the ignore option as it saves you from reading bad comments. Some moderators claim they never use it, but I can't visit this site without it.

Now if I may the game will be coming out soon, and I can't wait to play the finished product. I also have a new twitch video I'm about to post that has new game footage.

I have never used ignore on a forum and probably never will. Bad posts and posters just don't annoy me that much and I can skim over them if necessary.
