It appears to be survey season. First off, thank you guys very much for helping us out with the survey that was sent out with the last backer update. Secondly, one of our partners is running a survey, and they would also love your feedback. This isn’t affiliated with Pillars of Eternity but helps them learn more about what kind of games you’d like to see. If you would like to participate in this survey as well, you can find it here: (Survey Link)

- Sking

[Edit] This is a long one. Make sure you have at least 15 minutes before you start.

EDIT: New survey, answer this one instead: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/89993-survey-for-the-future-part-2/

Hey you (bunch of forgiving gamers),

Our partners had a few issues in their last survey and have made corrections. We'd really appreciate you have another go at it. Thanks for all your past surveying and we hope we haven't burnt you out. New (Survey Link).

Use that voice

So the survey asks you about your...

- gameplay experience (leaning towards PC games) in general
- experience of isometric RPGs (from IE games to new wave of iso RPGs)
- opinion on aspects of PoE
- pnp RPG experience
- interest and expectations on a potential isometric RPG based on Pathfidner

Interesting, eh.

It asks a ton of questions about a potential pathfinder RPG. I guess that could be okay but I'm getting bored just trying to imagine it.

No, dude, the problem is that they call it "streamlining" (aka Bethspeak), that's the fucking red flag.

They immediately explain that "streamlining" means "less systems and less depth". They're not trying to hide anything, it is what it is.

It took me 25 mins but I filled it in. Seemed really detailed for a survey, I hope they get a decent response. I hope we all did our duty to mark massive disinterest for anything Bioware develop :lol:

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Picked Other for gaming sites I visit on a weekly basis. Shocked that an almost tier 1 site like the Codex wasn't included :(

For those don't want to bother with the survey, these are the queries regarding the features of a potential CRPG and Pathfinder from the survey:

The next exercise will use something many RPG players are familiar with sliders. This is all about your preferences, so please feel free to place the below sliders wherever you would like. You do need to at least click the slide for your answer to register, but leaving it in the middle is perfectly fine!
  • Less voice acting (0) vs. More voice acting (100)
  • Hidden lore you need to reconstruct yourself like Dark Souls (0) vs Deep lore that is provided clearly (100)
  • Many Choices in the outcome of the story (0) vs. A more planned and determined narrative (100)
  • Dice roles and Probability based outcomes (0) vs. Purely skill based outcomes (100)
  • More written text to tell the story (0) vs. Less written text to tell the story (100)
  • Lots of depth and subsystems to manage (0) vs. A more streamlined experience with less systems and less depth (100)
  • Dialogue Trees (0) vs. Scripted Sequences (100)
  • Open world (0) vs Predetermined sequence of locations (100)
There are different ways that Isometric RPGs deal with combat. Which of the following types of combat are most appealing to you in an Isometric RPG?
  • Real-time Combat like Baldur's Gate: Combat happens in real time, but player can pause the game, assign actions that will be performed after the unpausing
  • Phase-based Combat like Wizardry: all commands are assigned at the beginning of the round and performed simultaneously with the opponents
  • Turn-based Combat like XCOM: commands are distributed turn by turn according to the rules
How much impact do you want to have in an Isometric RPG over the 'world'? How epic of a scale do you want in terms of how can you affect the game universe?
  • Low impact/Less epic and more personal (Bioshock, Dishonored): "Save the person" - you're saving only one person/place, the rest remains unchanged
  • Average impact/Average-epic (Fallout, Elder scroll): "Save the city" - you're changing a limited part of the game world
  • High impact/Epic (Mass Effect, Star Wars, Warhammer): "Save the world" - you're modifying the whole game universe radically
Which of the above 'tones' would you be most excited about seeing in a new Isometric RPG?
  • A Dark Tone: Like Game Of Thrones, The Dark Knight or Daredevil (Netflix)
  • A Grey Tone: Like Harry Potter, Gotham or Suicide Squad
  • A Light Tone: Like Narnia, The Flash (CW) or Batman from 1989
Which of the above art styles would you be most excited about seeing in a new Isometric RPG?

Realism

  • Other Official Pathfinder Rulebooks
  • Third Party Rulebooks (created for Pathfinder by a different company)
  • A Custom Rulebook or 'House Rules' (created by you and players)
  • Not Sure / Don't Know
Please choose the top 3 of your favorite adventure sets?
  • Hell's Vengeance
  • Hell's Rebels
  • Giantslayer
  • Iron Gods
  • Mummy's Mask
  • Wrath of the Righteous
  • Reign of Winter

  • Carrion Crown
  • Serpent's Skull
  • Kingmaker
  • Council of Thieves
  • Legacy of Fire
  • Second Darkness
  • Curse of the Crimson Throne
  • Rise of the Runelords
  • None of the above
Which of the following adventure sets would you most like to see as an Isometric RPG?

(ditto)

How much do you think the mechanics in the game based on Pathfinder universe can differ from the official?
  • Almost not at all, like Baldur's Gate was different from D&D 2.5
  • Not very much, but enough to provide gameplay usability
  • Based on Pathfinder, but differs significantly, like Pillars of Eternity was different from D&D
  • Whatever, it can be radically different, the game being good is what matters
Based on this information and what you may already know about Pathfinder, how interested are you in purchasing or playing an Isometric RPG based on Pathfinder?

...

Which of the following Pathfinder styles would you be most excited about seeing in a Pathfinder Isometric RPG?
