I wouldn’t even call POE frontloaded—some of its best content may be in the first act, but you have to struggle through that ridiculously offputting intro to get there. Like, for fuck’s sake, pick a beginning!

Game sounds more off-loaded than anything else.

Pillars was a victim of the Kickstarter promises that got out of hand.

Pillars was also a victim of intentionally trying to be the most bland and typical Forgotten Realms homage possible.

 

[Atchodas]

Pillars was a victim of obsidian writers and coders

 

[vortex]

Pillars was a victim of too high expectations.

 

[AW8]

Pillars was a victim of Josh Sawyer's uninvited advances, more than often sexual in nature.

Makes me wish I was Pillars.

 

[Prime Junta]

Pillars turned out pretty good, considering all the things it was victim of.

Pillows of Boredom is a dead franchise.

Good luck finding it.

For as much shade as we (rightly) throw at it, I'd still take it over most "AAA" RPGs that come out these days.

How many AAA have come out lately?

I was thinking Greedfall, but I guess that's AA. Remnant's probably AA too. Hmmm... maybe you have a fair point.

 

[Infinitron]

If Flou's thesis that Obsidian are now working on as many as 4 unannounced games is correct, it seems quite likely that one of them is a Pillars of Eternity title.

You definitely used to be able to

What store allowed that? I can't think of any. Was it some small local store where you lived? Where I lived people would have flocked to it. It certainly wasn't a chain store. I do remember there was a small local music store that allowed you to return opened CDs if you didn't like them but they went out of business. Never heard of a software store that allowed software returns for anything but defective media replacement. As far as I recall this was true going back even to the late 1970s. I think it's pretty obvious why they didn't allow it.

do you live in a jewish community by chance?

 

[jewboy]

What's your problem dude? You don't talk to jews? Are you from the southern US or eastern europe by any chance? Just answer the fucking question or admit that you were just making shit up.

Pillars was a victim of being a soulless cash grab made in a hurry.

This is becoming another Pillars thread. When is this going to end, for Christ's sake?

 

[Deleted Member 22431]

I don't agree with Cain that these CCs were horrible and overwhelmed players; I've watched many RPG noobs spending an hour creating characters in PoEs & Tyranny with excitement on twitch, what's after CC makes players stay with or leave the game.

They will spend one hour choosing the hair and the race because they were conditioned by Bethesda games.

It will last an Eternity.

After 2015(Which has two AAA "rpg", kind a miracle), there is only ME:A, FF 15 and AC:Odyessy is being called AAA RPG.

According to one of the interviews, Greedfall's budget is only 5.5 mln euros, which is probably less than Deadfire.

 

[Wunderbar]

According to one of the interviews, Greedfall's budget is only 550 mln euros, which is probably less than Deadfire.

you mean 5.5 mln euros, not 550?

16 days and counting...literally can't wait....

anyone have experience with the EPIC store?
I.e. if I pay in dollars (to save EUR) will I have any issue?
