Anyway, how's the operation "Eye of Cyric" going?

I committed this today.

Is an awful idea. Sadly modernfags won everywhere but on codex and it is a matter of time till they win on codex too.

Nah, brah, we all like post-post-modern round here. 120 Ninjitsu they can't even see us coming or going.

Even Infintesimaldick will catch on eventually.

 

[kangaxx]

I haven't picked this up since they opened EE.. have they added much else to the game so far?

 

[Butter]

They must be hard at work addressing all of the player feedback.

Reddit has a discussion over who's the worst companion is. Lae'zel is leading, but surprisingly, Wyll and Astarion follow.

 

[hell bovine]

Who cares about the companions, the new datamining video of patch 4 is out. The author clearly knows his audience, because he included a snapshot of that druid elf shirtless.

 

[Larianshill]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot to post about it.



Highlights:

Spoiler

Things we already long knew
1) Jaheira is coming back, although not as a companion.
2) The scars on Astarion's back are not a poem, it's an infernal pact.
3) There will probably be an opportunity to free Shadowheart on the ship.


New things.
1) Karlach is slowly getting a new model. She's huge, side of her face is scarred. She still has a paladin tag.
2) Hollyphant is datamined. Possible Zariel connection? Could be Lulu, her hollyphant.
3) Shadowheart will try to murder Lae'zel in her sleep.
4) There's a katana model. It may belong to Wyll.

Can we "romance" the shirtless druid? Asking the important questions here.

 

[Larianshill]

Larian is aware of the following he has. Although he does appear to be married.

Although he does appear to be married.

That hasn't stopped anyone who didn't want to be stopped ever.

 

[underground nymph]

Awaiting incoming petition to Larian to arrange a divorce for shirtless druid.

 

[Gargaune]

will try to murder Lae'zel in her sleep.

Wait, Lae'zel is a companion? I thought she was just a tutorial thing, seeing as she dies when you come across her again in that cage.

Even if Larian doesn't, modders will make it happen.

IMO Astarion is the worst. Only Larians manages to pick a vampire spawn companion and makes it boring...

Is a matter of time till modders make you able to use enchantment spells to make him fall in love with you or something like that.

------

But interesting video about datamining. When he talk about the cleric "chosen of Shar", I wonder if Larian will gonna put low level "chosen of Gods" or something like that. Larian loves to have "epic low level campaigns", doesn't matter how paradoxal it is. If I talk that the sequel to a game which you can reach lv 31~40 depending on the class and ascend to Godhood starts on tutorial with you in Arvenus trying to flee a mindflayer spelljammer ship, and after it, you find a wizard companion with a Netherese artifact, enter the underdark and have a chance to confront an archdruid, would anyone believe that it is a lv 1~4 campaign? BG3 campaign is too epic for a low level adventure. Solasta did low level right. A bunch of adventures meet in a tavern. Dark Sun : Shattered Lands too. You start as a mere "another gladiator slave" trying to escape slavery.

And here's another thing I didn't mention here. Looks like I was right, and it's a 2022 release.

It may be scheduled for 2022, but delays can happen.

 

[Larianshill]

The important thing is, it's not a 2021 release. I've seen some people who had hopes. They were always ridiculous, and now they look to be utterly dashed.

 

[Cryomancer]

Only on 2022?

OwlCat with far less people working on their game, is launching WoTR far before and the game will probably have much more content.

Aren't they using the existing engine (the one they made Pathfinder: Kingmaker on)?

And Larian is using their DOS2 engine. Probably they spend over 90% of the work hours thinking on how to ruin casters in his game.

My guess. The game will only be good on 2023, once modders fixes all Larianism in the game.

Early Premature Access.

It's not the same bag of potatoes. And Owlcat is angry Russians, fueled by vodka and pure oxygen. Not the same thing.

I didn't really expect anything different.
They said from the start that it would stay "at least one full year in EA" and in the entire history of software development I have yet to see a single big software project staying strictly on schedule in the long run without a single delay (unless they are running out of money and need to throw out whatever is ready).
