Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[Sensuki]

I wonder what voices that guy is doing, I don't think he's a professional voice actor. Maybe he's doing some monster voices?

He's blind btw. Inclusive_gaming

 

[Sensuki]

Crooked Bee will have already seen all of this but eh

Not surprised, around here we have a lot of animation and spell fx critics, myself included

and a wild badler appears...

..

Rocking the polo and baseball cap look like Adam

 

[Grotesque]

Why would Feargus prevent them?

He's extremely reluctant when it comes to turn-based games and has been ever since Interplay.

Why do I have the feeling that he was the one that pressed the idea for Fallout to be real time in the wake of Diablo?

And by the way, nothing beats the "Veil of steel" as an item name in quality.

 

[Perkel]

What Fergus has to do with Fallout 1 ? It's Tim Cain that created it and it's Fargo that greenlight it.

 

[Haba]

Lols, I had even forgotten that I backed this hard enough to get some shit in it.

 

[Sensuki]

Can someone from the KKKodex ask this guy what type of character he's playing (ie companion or non-cNPC), I don't have a twitter.

Zed, Crooked Bee

 

[Crooked Bee]

Ok, I've tweeted him.

 

[Frusciante]

New interview from E3 (I think): http://www.redbull.com/en/games/stories/1331658188490/pillars-of-eternity-interview

Maybe they broke the embargo? Or the embargo is only for the demo part.

Anyway, not much new in there.

 

[Infinitron]

Red Bull? The energy drink guys have a gaming site now? O_o

EDIT: Sensuki http://eu.cybergamer.com/article/4617/Sensukis-Pillars-of-Eternity-Update/ wtf?

 

[Sensuki]

We got a new developer at least, Matt McLean. And this article is actually pretty good

Yeah what about it? I do the occasional PE update for Cybergamer EU and AU every few months. I've done my original interview with Josh Sawyer and four or five other summary articles. Most of the people from CG are younger gamers in their teens and early 20s, and into competitive and casual games. My original interview got nearly 30K views though, so hopefully some of them will buy the game

 

[Sensuki]

I knew Olivia Veras was a PE designer, just never had any proof (posted about it earlier in this thread). Adding to the wiki

This doesn't look like an E3 article? Looks like they visited the studio or something maybe as it doesn't even mention E3 in the article

 

[Athelas]

No, the sentence says "we have VFX on all of the critical path areas", and the VFX for Anslog's Compass was done like 6 weeks ago, Josh said the water was animated in the Update 77 thread, which was at the end of April.

Speculative, sure. But highly probable.

[Wild Speculation]The player character is supposed to be new to the area, so maybe the game starts with you shipwrecking onto Anslog's Compass. In the video, you can see there's part of a ruined ship there.[/Wild Speculation]

 

[Duraframe300]

I wondered what project matt went off to.

Rougey isn't going to be happy.

 

[Infinitron]

Sensuki Duraframe300 "Jorge Salgao" in that article is a typo, isn't it? It's Salgado, the Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul guy.

Yes

 

[Sensuki]

Yeah they also mispelled Jeff Husges as Jeff Hughes.

Rougey isn't going to be happy.

What was his writing like on MotB ?

I recall him not liking his system design, on PE he's just doing writing.

 

[Roguey]

Matt wrote most of Safiya's dialogue which I enjoyed.

Utterly terrible systems designer of course.

He also did most of the E-Mails in AP IIRC.

 

[Sensuki]

I haven't played Alpha Protocol but he is listed as a writer for Alpha Protocol and an Area Designer for Fallout: New Vegas

He didn't do a lot on F:NV comparitavly.

I know he did the return to sender quest npcs.

Search fo Alpha Protocol e-mails in google image search. Then you will see samples.

This dude on twitter seemed unimpressed by the UI

https://twitter.com/austinat/status/477031123059367936

It looks a bit too modern. I'd prefer a health display that fades away/is mouseover, see "Near death" etc. in BG2.

The four dots just aren't medieval enough for me. YMMV.

Four dots? Hmmm.

 

[Sensuki]

That must be their version of the BG2 health display, I'll ask on SA about it

Probably something like a Health bar over their heads from mobas etc, except incremental (Uninjured, Barely Injured, Injured, Badly Injured etc)

I had a feeling they'd do something like that, but I hope we can disable the fuck out of all of that shit.

It's just these little things that are kind of annoying. I really like the BG2 parchment mouse over.

True story, I knew a feminism-hating woman who dropped it immediately when she got to email with the rape joke. MacLean better watch himself, since Sawyer's no good when it comes to this subject matter himself.
