In high Int responses we trust
Seriously though, I do agree. It's a tough balancing act to work out, where you don't neccessarily understand what your character is saying.
Still... that's how you do it! That's how you debate!
Just getting the conversation started on old isometric RPGs was a major step forward for Obsidian. I really do hope the game is a smashing success. They've certainly sold me on backing them in the future.
I hired a female rogue elf and gave her the sinister voice and she doesn't talk with her movement commands. Does anybody else have that issue?
I have had a dude I hired who only grunts and puffs. His last words before he died was 'Humph..?'
EDIT: Poor sod died to a Zealous Goldpact party. May he grunt in peace.
Just recruited Aloth and Edér, both seem like an interesting bunch so far ^^, really am enjoying this, playing as a Druid at the moment.

I really hope they don't have to kickstart all their future games, sheesh!
Anyone noticed how weak the premade characters are? The stats seem odd and Aloth is a ghost magnet to me.

Durance is proving pretty intereting too. Though more in a "Just keep him pointed at the bad guy" kinda way.
I suspect he and Eder are going to have some "spirited discussions" in the future

I don't like Durance at all, but in that good kind of way. He is an interesting character i just don't agree with him. Eder is the most interesting so far.
My favorite is probably Grieving Mother she's very mystical!
Reached the big city.... great game so far.
Feels like a proper IE game
I right now have Aloth, Edér, Durance, Kana and Sagani.
Also finished Act 1 and at Defiance Bay, which is huge as heck.

Yeah after going through all the districts in Defiance Bay my quest log is overwhelming.
I can't decide on which character to play as! 
So far I have made:
A wild orlean wizard
A god-like nature druid
A dwarf priest
A human monk
A god-like death Cipher
And I am now tempted to go back and make a Ranger, or Chanter.
I have done that begining area so many times I am starting to get annoyed 
Well remember that thanks to party members you can basically play 6 classes at the same time!

I dropped my ranger and went back and made a death godlike Paladin, and now I'm making a cipher. I think everybody has made at least two characters by now.

She was written by Chris Avellone. I still haven't got to her but I already think she will be my favorite.

They are, but I guess that was the point. A lot of people complain about it on Obsidian forums. As for Aloth, yeah, he gets the most damage the poor guy, he is also the first one to get tired. Everytime I get to a new area he complains about needing rest.
I think the IE mod will revert them to lvl1 so you would be able to level them up yourself.
I went with the lion because doh Lioness, then it turns out it has a mane, sigh. Also it has the ability to fear sort of. If i could choose a new one i would go with fox or wolf. Yeah i will probably do a ranged rogue next playthrough just to see, but i am guessing sneak attack with bow makes it much stronger than ranger is currently. Still there are always ways to tweak your character in these games to make you come out on top so not to worried. Ranger is still awesome.
Heh, thats why I created several rangers to check them all out 
Then ended with a wolf, because wolves are cool.
Agree about tweaking, there are just so many ways you can develop them. My only issue was with assigning stats, because I always want to have the most conversation options. My first ranger was a total disaster.
Pets are a bit unreliable. But if you are going to rely on it to do damage then it is prudent you either hire or recruit a fighter to tank/cc.
A party of rangers is actually kind of fun. Watching enemy paladins trying to swat a horde of boars and stags is amusing.
I'm trying to make a tank out of Eder, but its a bit hard since they are premade with certain stats and abilities. Im not a fan of soulless hirelings, dont play with them.
Bug report!
"If you double click an item to equip it to your character, your character loses ALL Passives/Racials/Permanent Buffs, forever.
Dragging and dropping works fine, but do not double click or you might find yourself having to restart your game. Loading the game up from a previous save thankfully does fix it."

Also, has anybody picked the "Scientist" background for hailing from the Living Lands? One of the options you get at the very beginning to tell Calisca is that you do it because of the demand there is for "mind-altering substances" and a person who can provide them.
I was half tempted to re-roll as an old balding wizard named Walter White.

C'moon obsidian. I even complimented you and ****. I don't understand how some of this bugs can even be in a system. Is there no separation of concerns? How is a click event supposed to trigger such a thing? Weren't these things thoroughly tested?
Jesus Christ.
I like the game tho

Made Eder a tank aswell, but it doesn't work as well as i want it. I miss taunt. I know it is a cheap mechanic, but at the same time the aggro is all over the place without it. Often when you just move a character away from an enemy they just start hitting others that are close to them.
What is the Pale Elf bonus btw? I choose Wood Elf and i don't feel the distance advantage is as good as i believed. Well atleast not when fighting in towns and dungeons etc.

Yeah, doesn't work well for me either.
The bonus is +10 freeze and +10 burn resistances.
I normally go with a race I find cool and with a class I find most interesting, so sometimes I pick the worst races for the worst classes and then suffer the consequences all for RP reasons
