    The chat there is already working, it seems.

    3. What is the most hilarious bug you had to fix in SoD so far?

    An aphid insult comic named Frank. He was *not* happy about the operation.

    Thank you for the link, @bengoshi ! I'm in chat under the name Neervosh. Neer was my old RP character; a human death knight/blackguard/dark knight/whatever that I developed back in middle school.

    29. How many toilets were placed into Dragonspear Castle and other areas of SoD?
    30. Will taverns and inns finally sell cheese plates and sausages rolls with Silver Dragon sauce?
    31. Can we take the Shining Lady's sparkling looks as affirmation that SoD has either public baths or saunas?

    I'd like to request that live-stream questions and discussions be posted in the stickied thread: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/47118/watch-the-dragonspear-live-stream-today-at-10am-pst#latest

    That will keep the information more easily accessible. Carry on!

    Keep an eye on the Beamblog with regards to the release date over the next few weeks.

    And Corwin is an archer, @deltago :)

    12. Is there any background info we can read about the areas we will visit, I.e. will we get a short summary of region and factions as in the bg1 and bg2 manual? Not many players are doing the dnd reading or dnd pnp to know these kind of things.

    I missed it because daughter Bath Time has precedence. Hope you all had a great time, I will be sure to watch the rerun. Thanks for answering some of the questions I came up with (just read bengoshis update).
  • wojtekwojtek Member Posts: 311

    Thanks for watching, folks. As mentioned in the stream we'll be releasing important information over the next few weeks.

    what is few weaks ? ona would say 3, maximum 4, well i learned here that from 8 to 9 :)

  • lroumenlroumen Member Posts: 2,538
    @bengoshi Btw, the screenshots are a bit dark. Is that your normal alpha setting?
  • JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,752

    @lroumen , yes, this is my normal setting. Maybe the screenshots indeed look darker than the ones taken from BGEE or BG2EE, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that it's a twitch stream, not you actually running the game. Or perhaps the gamma is indeed darker (the way how areas and backgrounds are painted), as is the interface (if compared to BGEE).

    I've rewatched the twitch (really, I can watch it and watch again) and have some things to add.

    @dunbar There's no availabe information on the box versions of the game, but maybe it will be revealed on the Beamblog later.

    @Rodrian The Glint's hair is blue now, right.

    Also, there's been an interesting remark that an "alternative tester" (I read it as Chris Avellone) reviewed the game in 2015 and after that they had to re-rewrite some things, including the ending, and the process took months (so even Phillip Daigle took a break of playing the game) - I read it like a period from the July announcement till December, 2015, and now this work is done, and, according to Phillip, it's full of pleasant surprises).

    true it could be a streaming fluke but it could also hint towards the state of the game with respect to darkness and infravision...

    Putting this out there for people to tell me otherwise ;)

    95% certain Amber stated "internal testers" not "alternative testers" :) (33:09 in video)

    I'm so awesome!
