I just heard that they both died hilariously.
Oh, there's also a new dev blog about the world with some.. interesting tidbits:
Not sure that was mentioned anywhere before.

At the end of the stream, he said it was that kind of game that he would "no life" if he didn't have streaming commitments. He loved it.
So the China Mieville recommendations weren't just for tonal similarities; this is some weird pseudo-dark-fantasy-noir world
Your stats having personalities suddenly seems like it might more than just a flavor text thing/representation of thought process thing
Your stats being so characterized makes me wonder if they'll pull a Adahn with your stats if you use/upgrade them enough. That would be very Mieville
Also do we know if there are other companions besides the one we see in all the footage
Also vaguely reminds me of M. John Harrison's Nova Swing. The Pale in Disco reminds me of the Saudade Event Site in that book (or the Zones in Roadside Picnic/Stalker).
Not having read Mieville, what I'm getting is a post-modern Sigil. The concept sprinkled with semi-familiar real world flavor while still remaining utterly bizarre and otherworldly.
Good to know, thanks!
What I saw convinced me enough that the games holding up to expectations :) The writing is so good and funny, and there's a real sense the writers are enjoying themselves with it immensely.
Good news for you guys, it looks like there's a swear filter that the streamers have been using copiously.
I had totally forgotten this game was also some weird fiction alt-reality setting. As I couldn't be more hyped
Wow! Given how important swearing seems to be to the game's general mood, I won't be using this. But it's an amazing option. Thanks for letting us know :)
it's got dynamic shadows - the minimum will probably disable those completely.
I've not long started the first pillars of eternity so i might have to wait on this for a while, but i'm super excited.
If reviews are insanely good i'll probably end up buying it anyway.
That's it, I'm done watching and reading anything about this game until release lol.
The weird personality stats and now this is reminding me a lot of like some weird detective-noir cousin of Fallen London's setting.
Which suits me excellently.
I guess there won't be a pre-order after all. They're following Valve's recommended launch strategy.
I've never played a CRPG or seen anything quite like this game, but reading up and watching some of the Fextralife stream has really piqued my interest.
I guess the closest thing I can liken it to is those old point and click games. Definitely appreciate the work that's gone into the writing, humour and dialogue trees.

No embargo. Been playing the game, it's definitely GOTY material.
Anyone know the release time for the 16th, or what is it usually for European players of Steam games? Asking because going to something in evening.
I think it's 5PM GMT usually. Games tend to unlock at 7/8PM for me which has always been a bit annoying.
That's good, I hope the later parts of the game hold up as well as the beginning seems to.
Alright, then I'll have to play this the next day hehe, thank you!
FIVE PM GMT?!
are you saying i have to slog through an entire day of work in my not-sorry-cop life before i can become my one true calling, sorry-cop?!
Yes 😩
Maybe it'll unlock earlier on some other storefront
Worse news, 5pm GMT is 6pm BST. The clocks aren't going back until the 27th.
I think it's up to the devs though. Considering they are located in Estonia, they might launch it a little earlier but idk.
There's not even a pre-order at this point so I wouldn't hold out much hope.
That'd be great, but pretty much every Steam game I've bought day one in the last couple of years has unlocked at 7/8PM for me, so I'm not holding out hope. It's probably the default "unless you want to manually unlock the game at a particular time, we'll unlock it automatically for you" time.
I have no inside knowledge, but my assumption is that by not spreading day one sales over the weeks leading up to launch, you have a higher chance of visibility on Steam due to higher sales over a shorter period.
