Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

[Tenebris]

What ever happened to that Novella we were supposed to get with Deadfire?

 

[Lacrymas]

Berath demanding of me to show my Watcherness infront of random thugs is still cringe. Ydwin references events that are yet to transpire. Anyway, question - can I get Vatnir immediately after going to his island or are there fights before that? I'm eager to replace my last party member with him.

From what I recall, you have to fight the dragon (first of two encounters) to get to Vatnir.

There will be a big fight right after you talk to him which is basically death for early levels.

Just think how much karma you could be farming if you agreed to a simple lobotomy.

 

[Safav Hamon]

Well as Deadfire may demonstrate, there's no reason they can't offer both. Especially if the engine work has already been done, it's just tweaking new things at that point

If they make a third game it should absolutely not allow both RTwP and turn-based. They need to focus on one combat system and make it as good as possible. Preferably turn-based.

NOBODY IN THIS THREAD PLAYS THIS GAME

Well, I do. Inching towards lvl 15 so I can make a savegame from which I will play each of the last two expansions.

Yes but that's at least relevant to why game's plot is the way it is.

Have you been serious about that stuff all this time?

I think you guys are underestimating how soon this will be released. It's completely finished as far as I can tell.

I don't think it's coming before the console release.

The TB mode is definetly real, and that's definetly the finalized UI. Obsidian are proud of their crappy WIP user interfaces and they always put them in the final version, haven't you learned by now? It's also proof that the clip and images aren't doctored. No one can mimic their style of unintuitive, impractical, hacked together UI design.

I've played it ingame.

most of the text is missing, but it's in game.

it’s easier to repost stuff every month.

RTwP is such a mistake that for it to be a decent system it requires the capability to script the AI of your companions.

 

[FreeKaner]

RTwP is ok, just TB is better for the most part. I have no idea how a game designed for RTwP will work on TB, this will be reverse-IE.

Also accept it, TB is for senile people that's why they know they need to make game TB for it to sell on consoles.

Andy K: In terms of writing, quest design, and world-building, Obsidian is at the top of its game in Deadfire.

Two guards in Sayuka:

"Are you still seeing that Kuaru woman?" "We had a little falling out" "What over?" "Have you seen her brother?" "You didn't!" "What can I say - I'm just that good"

PC Gamer RPGOTY folks!

Deadfire is not designed for RtwP, it is a turnbased(or round based if you will) game with simulatanious turns that for some godforsaken reason plays out in real time.

Best writing in RPGs '2018, strong independent weapons vendor edition:

- How'd a human end up serving with the Royal Deadfire Company?
- Heh. Everybody's always gotta ask. Not that I blame them - it is a good story. I was seeing this guy - let's call him, oh, I don't know, Kono* Kono and I'd been carrying on a while when I started making noise about wanting to move in. Frightened the boy so bad he went and joined the Royal Deadfire Company in the middle of the night. Thing is, I'm a deft hand with a throwing knife, and I know my way around ten kinds of blades. So I followed him into the service. Pulled my weight, got on a good ship. Kono eventually left to go to poetry school or what have you, but I stayed. Haven't heard a complaint yet.

* - yep, the writing is so good you can actually feel the boredom and lack of imagination of the person who wrote it

 

[MajorMace]

let's call him, oh, I don't know, Kono*

Reminds me of the question mark, which was barely there.

 

[FreeKaner]

Hosongo is as good as Fort Deadlight.

This game is p. good actually, there are few rough edges where they wrote more than they should have but it's decent overall. I don't know what you people are complaining about.

paid white supremacist shill

 

[MajorMace]

Unless they've made drastic changes, the disappointment kicks in in the last part of the game FreeKaner.

And it hit me hard back then.

 

[FreeKaner]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[2house2fly]

Hasongo's better than Fort Deadlight because it's less complicated so it doesn't bug out

You're the only bipolar person I know whose radical polar shifts last months at a time.

 

[pomenitul]

It's a little early to start working on your New Year's resolution to give Deadfire a fair shake, FreeKaner. You've got another week of unchecked, seething hatred if you like.

interesting how they get bought by microsoft and suddenly there is all this (((MEDIA COVERAGE))) and (((GOTY AWARDS)))
