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

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.

 

Oh i totaly forgot.

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


"Filthy Rich"

 

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.

Also character creation menu had good UI.

I have high hopes from this project for UI design.

DEATH to editable UI!

 

I want to lick that artwork.

 

I did like the look of the text quests parts, but I have doubts as to their actual implementation.

 

It's great to see a game without a shitty iPad HUD in 2014, too.

 

Companions are supposed to have green circles as the default, not blue.

 

Why? Is it because they're scripted instead of randomized like in Darklands and KoDP?

 

Because Obsidian.

 

I'm so excited about all those original and non-cliched classes. Fighter, monk, cleric, barbarian - isn't it revolutionary? Josh is true genious.

 

They should name it instead Warrior-like, mage-like, monk-like, cleric-like so that you wouldn't be able to complain about standard naming of standard classes.

 

Are you saying that Josh designed some standard, DnD-like (and we all know that DnD suck because Josh said so) classes instead of groundbreaking ones? Plain classes in a game made by the greatest visionary among RPG creators? How can you!

 

Godlike-like.

 

Graphics actually remind me way more of ToEE than BG. Not that that's a bad thing.

 

Actually, the reason why I'm so jacked-up for this is because it looks so much more like normal, down to earth fantasy than anything. Pretty much everyone else out there is doing wacky mix of genres or cheeky versions of them. This instead felt like actual classic Dungeons and Dragons adventure.

 

uuurgh, that floaty ai, why josh, whyyyyyy

 

Black_Willow-like race, Penis-like class, -7 to intelligence; +7 to butthurt

In the end 99% codexers will choose fighter mage/cleric rogue combo.

 

You can change to a solid UI. Josh mentioned as such during the Quicklook.

Edit: Wait, do you mean something different?
