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

Go fucking kill yourself JC Stefansson.

 

I'd rather have the addition of another playable race, class, and companion than a house. I feel like it would add way more to the game.

 

Well, it is literally unheard of in modern AAA game development.

God, that thread is like a Purgatory.

 

supreme
It's like these people are too repressed IRL to act out their inner desires so they play dress up and show with their friends in video games instead, because at least that way it will appear less queer. Only not.

 

Uhuh... huh?

 

You're delusional. It's clearly not going to be an Icewind Dale and they are clearly going to try more "mature" things than they've ever done. Have you even listened to the words they said?

 

Too many biotards, not enough action points.

 

Help me out bros, this shit is rotting my brain. I just had a conversation with someone who would like to abolish stats because it limits her ability to express herself. I need to lie down.

 

The thread is not so bad overall but she probably plays Nobilis or something.

Jenny Caroline Stefansson? I mean that sounds like the wants for a normal 9 year old girl.

 

I remember seeing this aversion to "limitations" from stats and such before, on a memorable long thread in the Bethesda forums (I gave up on the place very shortly afterwards). Some people really do just want to play some sort of demigod that can become the master of all guilds and de-facto invincible and don't see how that makes any attempt by devs to make a world even remotely believable completely pointless. They WANT to LARP a superhuman. I'm not sure how much overlap there is with the kind of goofs that "roleplay" in Oblivion by making sure they eat regularly even though that does absolutely nothing most of the time game mechanics-wise.

 

Anyone is free to larp a godlike being if they feel like so, just turn on the console and jack up your stats. It's this selfish "Everyone should be allowed to do everything without any difficulty because that's how I like to play" retardation that is annoying.

You know everything is shit when the safe place you chose to lie down and recover your sanity is an appalingly ignorant gathering place for hateful ciscentered rape culture enablers.

 

It does influence the devs though when they realize the majority of players don't care for checks in the fighter guild storyline that you actually have some fighter skills. Why spend time on that which could be better used on AEWSUM cutscenes and shit, so the game becomes more stupid automatically for those who might expect an at least vaguely rational game world being simulated.

 

I am home

 

I wish the japs would hurry up their work on robot girl/boy friends and make them affordable to the average biotard. It would be a win-win-win situation for all of us.

 

Anyone suggested a Heart of Fury-like mode yet? If not, maybe someone who's not so prone to raging as I am can go on those forums and do it? If the W2 forums made me rage hard, I imagine that those will cause permanent damage.

 

I wonder what Darwin would have to say about that.
