Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

It's like in PS:T. Problem?

 

That's just transference.

 

You could disable the screen shake if you wanted.

 

No, because it's still WIP, and I don't believe NWN2 campaigns with it's trash encounters and hundreds of orcs are suited for that. But I wish someday Storm of Zehir got a mod like that As for PE... who knows, if moders are working on turn-based Fallout 3, perhaps PE will see that day too

 

lol who cares about boob armor, this game will have female warriors in full plate armor fighting toe to toe against man...realism already is not something to be expected, besides always nice to see some boobs

 

I actually liked that feature.

 

Damn.

I don't see any thread to make camp in. I don't care about screens shaking or dogs. Gimme something real to rail against, dammit.

One of you chose the screenname "codexer"?

:declining:

 

Lol. My Divine Intervention thread was not a popular topic of discussion.



Has there been any threads or information from Obsidian in regards to how abilities would work (Memorization Vancian or otherwise vs Cooldowns vs other alternatives)?I've done a quick sweep of the forums and nothing, but I might have missed something.

I might make one, so it'd be good to know if there was already something there. Might also write a topic about in-game economy / bartering.

Also, who's alt inspired this?

 

I don't know about the full plate part but there have always been female warriors and mercenaries, especially more so towards the present. Conquistador guys did a particularly good job at talking about them and giving them a place in the game.

 

Topic worth keeping eyes on.

This thread could use some more activity so it could stay on the first page:

My favourite story about female fighters:

A certain mademoiselle of scandalous reputation is invited to Louis XIV's ball. She goes there, dressed as a man. Not to disguise herself but to look cool (i.e. it was clear that she's a female). At the ball she starts hitting on some girl and even kisses her. Three guys approach her and say "what is this shit? A bioware game?" She says "guys, fuck off, you're cramping my style". They say "bitch, please, we are men, with, like, swords and shit." She says "Oh yeah, let's take it outside then." She goes outside, kills all three of them, returns to the ball and continues hitting on that chick. Lou was pissed, but eventually forgave her.

True story.

Sounds like an edgy bioware party character alright.
"Swordsmanship is like sex. Do it wrong and it'll make you bleed."

 

Actually it seems she didn't kill them, merely injured one (she still won, though).

 

Are there a lot of people at the Codex that like this full-party-creation shit?

 

Remind me not to challenge crazy chicks into fencing duel in AoD, already got my share of death-screens.

 

I'd certainly hope so.
