    I played all the way into Moria... The music was pretty good, at least that's what I can remember.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    In white march I solved the redcearan fort by stealthing through the back door. It was pretty neat that you could hear soldiers talking about their families back home... thought that was well done. Plus there was some scripted conversation you got to hear...

    Game News Pillars of Eternity II Fig Update #6: Voice Acting Stretch Goal, Q&A Stream

    Yeah.. but if it's not "ubiquitous" ( which I hate ) then the "passive" ability means you have to rely on finicky mechanisms like proximity to get "engagement". If my fighter is surrounded by xaurips... which 1,2, or 3 get engaged? Why would this randomness be remotely controllable or fun...

    Just read the first black company book... this is probably the first Tyranny news that actually makes me want to play the game.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Heh , just had my level 11 party "trolled" by xaurips in Stalwarts mines on potd... the expansions really have better thought out encounters and areas... now to see if my priest can get a prayer against imprisonment off before he gets drilled by a bunch of xaurip snipers

    Game News Daedalic's Star Control 2-inspired The Long Journey Home gets teaser trailer, coming late 2016

    Starting a rant about RPG qualities with crafting and ending with character classes is astounding. If this is based on Star Control 2 it will have a 1. Non-linear Story with actual *gasp* time limits and meaningful game changing decisions that can cause you to lose the game if you're not...

    Codex Interview RPG Codex Interview: Eric Fenstermaker on Pillars of Eternity​

    So what about an Episodic model of an epic game/story line, chaining 3 20-30 hour decent games together over say 3 years? The White March seems to show that decent gaming can be done in this fashion. RPG's are really playable literature anyways ?! Seems to work well with top scifi/fantasy...

    I'd also like to point out that it's interesting that we are even having this debate post-RPG. As a point of contrast, even if some people didn't enjoy *playing* POE, I've certainly enjoyed mulling over it's exposition and themes as opposed to the Pulp Fantasy Faerun games of yore. Now...

    Codex Interview RPG Codex Interview: Eric Fenstermaker on Pillars of Eternity​

    Hiravias' quest was probably my favorite quest, the ending was visceral and triumphant - and made me feel that he had somehow raised his self-awareness above his personal history. Sagani's quest was similarily interesting, but her character wasn't *charicaturized* enough for me to care. From...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    The immunities on enemies make the combat challenges more varied, since you have to vary the way to debuff and damage different foes. I just finished WMI on POTD and spent most of it with my main priest at sub level 8 , which is where you get the group immunities to paralysis. The lagufeth...
