Oh happy day :D

From Trent's twitter:
"The new build changelog is huge. We've fixed a ton of issues and added cool new features such as a few new rest movies. Nietzsche returns "

Edit: Also looking forward to the new rest movies =) Always found it strange to cook up a fire in a inn.

    And are the no-comply-to-orders bug and bugged "default" IA fixed ?

    I have no idea. But this update seems very promising =)

    Update available now.

    Wow, they added back in the cut line "There are others I can show you, please! Please!" but it's like totally rushed in there cause they didn't add any extra scenes to the movie only the dialogue... it might actually make it worse than it was with the line cut, in my opinion.

    Anyone else notice the hack job done to the Friendly Arm Inn music during that cutscene? In mine it abruptly cuts and goes to the end of the song but it's not a smooth cut, totally noticeable.

    Nietzsche on Patches:

    "Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn't. " -- Friedrich Nietzsche

    Agreed. It's great that they listen to feedback, but it doesn't help anyone if they implement it in a way that doesn't satisfy.

    Also, I checked the Bandit Camp movie again. Is it just me or is this one clearly unfinished? The blade by the Gnoll's side doesn't seem to be attached to anything and just suspended in mid-air. Was this movie meant to be more animated than just the fire?

    It's evolving, at least.

    The Nietzsche quote really needed to be set to interpretive dance, however.

    Is anyone else having trouble with the Nietzsche quote running off the edges of the screen?

    Not as strange, as having a forrest and a tent inside your inn room. But hey - that's how Royal rooms look like. Who would understand those rich people...

    Could be worse. They could show an extended sequence of the dwarf getting out of the hot tub and toweling himself dry, while tossing you (the player) "come hither" looks over his shoulder.

    Yes, I realize there's a subset of our playerbase who are now closing their eyes and leaning back in their chairs and beaming the widest smiles with the most contented sighs.

    Am I the only one that thinks the quotes delay is far too short?

    Your average commoner can't possibly read that fast

    I'm not sure, for some reason it isn't logged under "Movies" in the options for a rewatch, like the old ones used to be. Strange.

    I did notice though that the original credits movie remains the same which seems fishy. I had heard the reason why they re did (I was going to say Enhanced but I'd be lying) the movies was because, for some reason, they wouldn't work with the new BG:EE changes. Why does this one movie, the credits which is done in the same style as the other movies, still work then? Conspiracy? Clearly.

    I'd elaborate more on my theory but I'm under contract limitations.

    Is that not the most marvelous dodge? I imagine sooner or later I'll find myself using that in a business communication. :)

    I like that the Nietsche line is back in bussiness...

    I may sound like a little whiner, but:
    1. Nietsche quote should be centered on the screen. Now it's on upper side of screen.
    2. That text should be slightly smaller, at least on PC version.
    3. I don't like how they put "There are others(...)" line in the intro. You can hear that it's slapped there without effort, and it is cut in the middle. So it made the intro worse, instead of better.

    1. Agreed.

    2. I don't mind the size of the text.

    Definitely agree. I know the quote and didn't get through it the first time it came up before it had faded away.
  • SilverstarSilverstar Member Posts: 2,207
    I found I had time to read the entire quote just fine and I wasn't even expecting it. That said, it probably could be around for another second or so.

    As for the old line spoken by the scared guy being added back in... works for me. Yeah it's pretty obvious it's just mashed in there, but with the pacing of the scene they'd have to re-do the entire thing for it to fit perfectly. And really, I think it works; he sounds really panicky uttering it that fast.

    Agreed. This one is most appropriate.

    The Quote fades fare to quickly, we can't read it properly ;-)

    Of course Nietzsche returns. What else would the prophet of eternal recurrence do? ;)
