Holy poo poo this is the exact same font in the conversation screen and combat log as in BG, isn't it?

Awesome

e: Tbh I think most of the fun in making a weird build like muscle wizard work is finding clever ways to make it work even though it shouldn't.

I'm kind of disappointed that the hero dudes look so generic.

If they looked like DOTA dudes that would have been better because dota is good art direction attached to a poo poo game.

This is an amazing game that could use some better art direction.

Art direction is great IMO, it's exactly what it's supposed to be (BG-style). Besides, Dota 2-style heroes would clash with the rest of the art, and I bet that the magic armors will look more unique and distinctive than starting gear.

Too bad WOTC won't license the D&D 2 ruleset anymore so we can't actually have a proper BG style game. If it ain't got THAC0 I don't want to play it.

I hope PoE manages to have ambient sound effects as good as the BG games.

Anime levels are still too low, they must be higher in order to have a new golden age.

Never back kickstarter or pay for early access no matter how good you think the game is.

Even in this hour of temptation you must resist, because remember kerbal Space Program still isn't finished after all these years and that's considered the poster child for crowd funding.

Persona 5 is coming out at the end of the year (in japan)




I can't wait to play the PoE beta in a few weeks after watching that quick look. I just wished they showed off some of the magic classes instead of low level warriors that can't really do anything flashy.
