I'm wondering how big of an impact this game will have on that tabletop pillars of eternity game that's to my knowledge in the works.

The tabletop Pillars of Eternity isn't a real product in development, it was just a part-time hobby project of Josh Sawyer. AFAIK he's not currently working on it. Here's our thread: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/josh-sawyers-pillars-of-eternity-tabletop-rpg.132384/

KCD2 will be popular. It's a sequel to liked game. Also medieval setting vs weird D&D-like fantasy setting. I don't know what folks at Obsidian Entertainment are smoking, but it really shows that it must be some kind of strong stuff. The game looks like a psychodelic circus. I can imagine a person injecting marichuane in the veins and feeling that lush and overwhelming joy by absorbing this vivid stream of lights and colours coming from Awoved. Yeah, what a trip.

D&D like fantasy is always more interesting.
KCD had boring gameplay, I will take spells and monsters every day over random bandits and hostile soldiers.

Hi.

Here is the official artwork of the four companions you can choose to have join you along in your adventure.

No Konjad, that is not a dildo, but it's funny you'd think that.


GOSH! Very surprising indeed. Don't forget to vote for your favorite.

Have you considered the premium skin packs available for those four companions? You'll find a lot of similarities with the outfits from previous Pillars of Eternity games that you enjoyed.

It’s not similar, it’s the same outfits. That’s the point, to sell you premium, so you can put your furry friend in your favorite companion’s robe

Thanks,
Sherry

Man I wonder how many ways the female writers have sabotaged that pink haired chick. I'm assuming; she's had 10,000 relationships, she's super precise and quick (not your fuckable ditz!), and she's only into clouds of mental energy, not gross fleshwalkers like you!

These niggas look like NFTs, holy shit... the soyboys of Obshitian have truly lost it.

And yeah, let me get THREE bearded nigger drag queens with flowers on their foreheads right next to each other in the top row of preset characters. I love diversity.

3 bearded nigger drag queens in the front row, but 5 bearded niggers in the front row in total. In fact, the only white guy in the entire roster is right there up front. As if to say "fine you chuds, we really didn't want to do this, but here is your token white guy"

I can definitely believe that Feargus was the only person at the company who chose to play as a white male character and that was good enough for him.

Not one of these companions is likable. You can't even bring one cute girl with you to satisfy your male fanbase? Do you hate money or enthusiasm for your game or something. The pink haired furry thing does not count in the least. Who was the most popular companion in BG3 by romances? Learn the lesson.

And since I know the whole thing is going to be a diversity fest I know I won't find a single thing appealing about the characters in the world, and certainly nothing i've seen in any trailer has changed that core assumption. You guys just shoot yourselves in the foot with this stuff. But you have to know that by now.

Reddit is already bitching about how the chuds are review bombing this game [...]
That's a feat, considering it isn't even out yet.
"Review bombing" lost all meaning a long time ago. Veilguard fans are complaining about Veilguard being review bombed (it's Mostly Positive on steam). "Review bombing" is just "people talking about the game in a way I don't like". Giving it a score on any sort of a platform is not necessary.

Now jokes aside Sherry is an Obsidian employee or its a fucking mastermind in shitposting?
lol, yeah, did Obsidian hire one of Codex's gimmick tranny accounts to handle their PR?

... Actually that wouldn't be Obsidian's weirdest decision. Probably wouldn't crack the top ten.

loool I thought you were joking, there are actually fucking premium skin packs, to think they were like this once upon a recent time:
