Tb got ahead. This is interesting.

It's funny how you think this poll matters. If this poll was on my blog, it'd have 10,000 votes.

Here is one poll I put up:

I put another up for NWN - NWN! - before the EE was announced. It had 800 votes in a couple of weeks.

I mean, the poll is meaningless because they have already decided (and most likely developed to a far extent) whatever system they are going to use before this was even announced.
But that doesn't explain how your nonsensical comparison is supposed to be in any way relevant to the topic.

Honestly, I could see them do both. TB/RTwP is always a 50/50 split among people, and other games have shown that having both isn't impossible. And with their budget, they might just do it.
Or it will just be Diablo Forever like. A mobile game and we've all been had.

The figures don't matter. The goal is to draw attention.

That poll is irrelevant. That fact that you cite it says sums about your discerning "intellect" (and anyone else who has cited it). Want me to put a similar poll up on my blog and see how many votes it draws? I will crush your pathetic "strawpoll".

 

[Lilura]

It's hilarious to me that people ITT think they have any influence.

You think a poll with a pathetic 1,500 votes has any bearing whatsoever on what decision Larian ultimately makes?

You think a megathread with 200 shitpages is going to influence Larian?

Delusional.

Larian read commentators, not shitposters and shitpolls.

You think they haven't already made their decision with the game being in development since summer 2017?

Delusional.

Confirmed: Lilura works for Larian.

You better believe it. Larian are "big-guns" now. They don't give a fuck what some 'Dexer says (or anyone on public forums, for that matter). Reality check required.

You could never know how retarded the devs might be.My most fabulously optimistic wish is,that the devs ignore both types of retards and just make the game they want to make. Sadly they listen to some retards in different places and end up adding something stupid in it.

PS:There is absolutely no evidence that the blog you constantly post here is actually yours,post password or you are an imposter!

Stop fighting. Larian doesn't give a shit about any one of you or your opinoin.

Pretty much. It's that part of the month again - the part from the 1st to the last.

 

[Grotesque]

that the devs ignore both types of retards

...and then only the dumbfuck remain, and nobody wants to deal with them!



PS: Anyone that wants a turn based BG3 should be skullfucked

 

[fantadomat]

Then why does Swen have an account here???

 

[Chippy]

Keeping within the mentality of the traditionalist here - when you call your game BG3 - you deserve everything you get from fans of the original IP. It would be like a black (that's racist right?) Chinese rap group singing like black guys and doing an ablum covering songs written, sung, and inspired by Creedance Clearwater Revival.

Shit, typing that made me feel more perverted than looking at the illithid porn.

 

[glass blackbird]

I assume they would like to make a good game so it'll probably be turn-based

 

[AwesomeButton]

Who cares about making a good game, they have sales quotas to hit.

2 years in development, 300-strong dev team, and making good games is out of fashion.

 

[glass blackbird]

well, then they'll look at sales of dos2 vs poe2 and make it turn based

The thing is POE2 sales figures didn't really rise since adding the turn-based combat. DOS attracted lots of casual players while POE was marketed towards old school RPG players. The whole RTWP vs turn-based discussion isn't really important for Larian. They want to become the next Bioware and that means making simple games that every single person on this planet can instantly understand and play.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The turn-based mode was added for console sales.
All 7 of them.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I do agree that PoE was marketed towards "oldschool" players. Just read the kickstarter and they namedrop a bunch of older RPGs. Whether or not you think it's actually oldschool is its own debate.

 

[Dodo1610]

What the fuck are you talking about?

Project Eternity crowdfunding started 2012 with the promise of a new game that's reminiscent of old Infinity Engine titles.
You cannot easily get someone who has never played an infinity engine game to play POE with its pre-rendered backgrounds and "complex" RTWP. Original Sin 1+2 are games that are a lot easier to get into for someone who has no experience with RPGs.

 

[glass blackbird]

Of course, being turn-based would also make it a better adaptation of D&D, there's that too
