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

[Somberlain]

Looks awesome, I will probably take a week of sick leave when the game comes out

I fucking hate the RTwP... I'm just looking at that wishing it was TB.

Turn based sucks, it totally ruins the Metaphysics of the game world.

You are a faggot and I hope you get AIDS.

UHG! The IGN comments, why do I even look at those...

The game is 2D. You cannot rotate like you did in Divinity Original Sins. They boast top notched graphics with 4M crowd-funded funds but it seems the graphics is no where near breath-taking. The only big gripe for me is the game is un-rotatable as it's 2D not 3D. Anyhow i'll give it a try and hope they delivered as then get 4 times amount the money compared to Divinity.

Whether what console fanboys said it doesnt matter. The point is Obsidian was boasting top notched graphics because it's 2D. It look worst than any latest games in 2014. Of course my opinion and i'm entitled to it.

I totally agree with you. IT looks dreadful; with outdated graphics and cheap art direction .Divinity Original Sin shows that you can make amazing looking rpg in the "old style " interface abnd you can make the game feel fresh. This aint fresh .This looks tired and poor. Basically Baldurs Gate rehash. Dreadful looking game in all fronts.

I used to love theese kind of games, but unfortunatly, i don't have the patiance to play them anymore. Tried Divinity, earlier this week, and i really couldn't get into it...

Very intriguing! So similar to BG.

The battles are really uninteresting, though, but that can hopefully be attributed to them being so early in the game. I'd like to see some more complex combat from later in the game.

I learned to love TB combat, but i really like RTwP if its well executed. So i don't really care, im confident it IS very well executed in PoE.

I started reading that comment and was like, oh right, im on IGN, *CTRL+F4*.

It boggles my mind. Do people genuinely like the looks of 3D over 2D that looks like high quality paintings? Is this the reason why CGI is so fucking popular nowadays?

 

[Duraframe300]

Forgot this one

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Divinity's art design is shit, as evident by IGN commenters praising it.
PoE doesn't need a goofy WoW aesthetic.

On the art I'm glad that the characters look like normal humans in this game and not steroid abominations or anorexic hobos.

Yes, there are lot's of people who think this looks better than original.

Wow game looks amazing. Hitting that "Infinity Engine"-like goal pitch perfectly.

Excited about getting my hands on the beta. Just a few more weeks!

 

[Haba]

Video impressions: crap combat, utterly uninspired character creation, vendor and inventory UI is horrible and Sawyer is a gigantic faggot.

Oh yeah, and you fight wolves and spiders.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Disagree on character creation, I think it looks good, I'm just sad that it's RTwP. All those race and class options with the balanced attribute system would be pretty cool in a game with TB combat.

Yup.

 

[DefJam101]

Exactly the jittery awkward RtwP combat everyone expected but otherwise looks fun.

 

[evdk]

Is there some stream that would should some spellcasting character creation? Because GB went full retard and did barb and fighter.

I'll take two.

Brian Adler of Obsidian played the game, not one of the GB guys.

Doesn't help me much, does it.

Same here. I don't have big hopes for combat but at least storyfag in me will be amused.

IGN also did barbarian, I think that's probably the most good looking/balanced class so they only went with that.

Oh my fucking god yes.

 

[Perkel]

Oh i totaly forgot.

Tons of dialogs, banters. And more important ton of dialog options to choose.

[Sensuki]

Vendor and Inventory UI is exactly how it should be

But IGN comments says Divinity Art is also shit...


I think they should go for paperdolls in character menu instead of NWN2 like bad 3 character art which was created for isometric view not for upclose view.

Vendor and Inventory UI is exactly how it should be

Also character creation menu had good UI.

I have high hopes from this project for UI design.

DEATH to editable UI!
