Eternity Josh Sawyer wants to make Pillars of Eternity 3, but only if...

[Haplo]

Well turns out none of them were excited about it, that's why they jumped the ship first chance they got and moved onto 3D popamole.

Most people don't get a say about what projects they get to make. Deadfire's turn-based mode was something a couple of people made in their spare time.

And such a shame about the lowest possible effort...
With continuous individual rounds it could have been such a neat TB system with very little effort.

"Neat TB" system cannot save this mess of a franchise...

 

[Haplo]

Two Pillows of Inanity titles + Avowed are already more than enough for the setting. IMO Eora isn't interesting enough to warrant building anything else in it

I didn't realise Avowed was already released.

But anyway, in my opinion, we've barely touched the potential of this setting.
Don't have too much hope for PoE3 being made... but if it will and Josh Sawyer will lead the project...

What is the potential of this setting?

 

[Fedora Master]

The potential for vaguely renamed fantasy creatures is ENDLESS.

There's no sense in Obsidian making a fantasy game in any setting other than Eora. You think anything new they would create now would be better?

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

That's not the issue, the issue is that Eora is like Forgotten Realms from Wish.com

I'm one of the (probably few) people who preferred Terratus to Eora.

Eora was decent for POE 1, but I got so bored with POE 2 I couldn't finish the game and a lot of that had to do with how they portrayed the setting and how uninspired I felt exploring it. Avowed looks dreadful so far, and the thought of returning to Eora does absolutely nothing for me.

 

[Quillon]

you guys complained the setting is too generic now Obs can't stop infesting the games with Huana ffs

if most of the names sound like waka waka it ain't generic anymore

I like vanilla more than strawberry. I prefer blondes over brunettes.

top argument

Strawberry ice cream should not be produced. Brunettes should not replicate.

Roguey asked if I thought Obsidian could come up with a better fantasy setting than Eora and I answered that I think they already had, therefore I obviously believe they can.

Tyranny flopped (at least initially, like PoE 2 it seems to have had a good long tail) and Paradox owns it so Obsidian couldn't use it even if they wanted to.

Also the guy in charge of creating the lore you liked so much? Chris Avellone. Gone-so.

You can get a girl pregnant without cohabitation. Forest meadows are a good place too.

It's not about the how. Ita about that someone will need to answer for it afterward once shes pregnant. There will be an investigation in the local court calling witnesses. And sense these are tight knit communities there will be no problem getting answers.

And Reimhart: You still fail to understand the power dynamics. It is the priest and central governments law led by the king that rules because he is gods chosen that are doing the inquiries. It is their law, their honur, that has been tarnished. They can't allow peasants to go against God's and Kings laws. If anyone is being killed it is the Kings executioner doing the killing.

This is true. But I though we were talking about rates of cohabitation. I don't think such documentation would be helpful in estimating rates of cohabitation, especially considering that law enforcement would be involved mostly if the man is unwilling to take responsibility.

Now that's an opinion right there. You have shit taste in ice cream and women.

At this point business wise better stick to Eora, its a fuckton of research time and paychecks to build a new one. And with this Obsidian comp? Better use it even if is not the most optimal.

 

[Axel_am]

I'm all down for a new Pillars game as long as it's made for boys, just like Pillars 1 was. I think it's fairly obvious that they made Avowed with the intention to appeal to the tranny audience and that's where most of its flaws come.

 

[luj1]

Yeah, because they truly needed a Herculean effort to rename vampires to fampyrs and ghouls to gûls

Its more a matter of do you even trust the current Obsidian to rename a vampire?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Why bother? I mean, it was pseudo celtic horseshit, and nobody noticed.

Half the stuff in the first game used Gaelic naming conventions, it's lazy and we noticed

It's not that hard to come up with a new setting, but they're uneducated, talentless and lack culture. Soyer is supposed to be the best of them but even he is meh

Their shitty half baked setting stank of "not-forgotten realms" from the very first moments of Pillars 1.

Trash everything and make up one as you go, no way it would be any way worse.

If only it were that. It is Sawyer's historical autism with a veneer of fantasy, except it doesn't have what makes history interesting or compelling. Instead it has gay fishes and furry midget sex pests.

It really is autism because he copies history but doesn't transform it. Hence why Eora is just "Venice, but black" or "Hawaii but fishpeople".

 

[AdamReith]

Have to admit guys, despite having played the game all the way through absolutely none of that shit landed. It felt like eating a bowl of dry porridge flavour wise. Nothing felt distinct from anything else, I remember finding that elf village in the latter part of the game and it might as well have been the same dudes as everywhere else, just dressed a little differently. No characters of interest, no cultural peculiarities to explore.

Soulless tripe for sad abandoned BG fans like myself.

Yes, still salty they conned me into backing such a poor product. At least it raped my childhood without trying to burn out my graphics card in the process I guess. (Looking at you Kingmaker)

This was the clearly stated intention of the Kickstarter campaign. It's not half-baked in the slightest.
