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

[Abelian]

I like how the game can be customized: creating your own parts vs using NPCs, solid vs floating UI, hiding the health/stamina bar above the characters, etc. At least Obsidian realized they can't make everyone happy, so at the least the players can pick and choose which features to enable or disable.

I'm seriously wondering why everyone thinks it looks so good, but then I recalled this place is polluted with storyfags.

What has one to do with the other?

Because it looks v.good. Looks better in fact than most of cRPG i played including 2D and 3D ones.

If you means by "look" as mechanics and combat. Yeah that was your standard RTwP combat, chaotic clausterfuck with trash mobs here and there.

 

[Roguey]

I didn't notice anything chaotic about the combat, unless you think all real-time combat is chaotic. In which case I'd hate to see you guise try to play RTSes or RTTs.

It also looked better than NWN, DA, and Kotor. There's a range of quality in rtwp.

rope kid why did you not brutally insult RPS during your RPS interview and kick them out of your office.

it was in the UK and the guy who interviewed us was rill coal

Good riddance to Grayson.

 

[Shadenuat]

What, is there a story between Josh and RPS?

Greys and browns, yay! UI and font choices are awful. It's not 2003.

Anyway, I want to play this so badly When is the planned release? Winter?

 

[Infinitron]

What, is there a story between Josh and RPS?

1) Grayson said Wasteland 2 beta looked better than Eternity pre-alpha. Roguey is still butthurt.

2) RPS gave Feargus and Obsidian a hard time over non-existent bugs in South Park.

3) They also gave FO:NV a bad review.

 

[Roguey]

#2 was also Grayson.

Anyway, I want to play this so badly When is the planned release? Winter?

Backer beta in August, release in late-October/November/December.

It's almost like your stupid ass can't tell from the context of the sentence that "look" doesn't equate to visuals, but rather the impressions of the game as a whole.

 

[Nihiliste]

They've really done a good job capturing the IE feel. This looks like exactly what I was hoping would be made post-2002.

 

[Xeon]

When leveling up, do you have to allocate your acquired points immediately or can you save them and use them later at anytime?

 

[Volourn]

"It also looked better than NWN, DA, and Kotor"

No. Maybe KOTOR but KOTOR combat sucks so that's not a high bar.

 

[Duraframe300]

Wonder when the second part of that RPS interview will go up.

 

[Space Satan]

The CYOA screens and everything else is also "Sawyer's contributions". He's the project director and lead designer, not the "combat balance guru", even if it seems that way.

2 min in and they're on what is an rpg.

 

[Zombra]

For a game so very very focused on combat balance between classes and so forth, the combat itself looks pretty underwhelming. Select all, click on one enemy to focus fire, wait and watch the HP bars go down, repeat.

I realize that combat will get more complex later on in the game as more powers become available, but still. Not a dazzling first impression.

Despite that, everything else about the preview looks fantastic. Very much looking forward to this title.

 

[Hobo Elf]

It's not like any of the early IE games have impressive looking combat at low levels and without casters. I'm sure it'll look plenty impressive and beefier once you get further in the game.

I just skipped their retarded discussion of whether bioshock and borderlands are rpg's or not. Josh said he would definitely work on a new Fallout.

And it's going to hell in a handbasket.

Yeah, I'm sure it will get more complex. Honestly though I don't remember the IE games for their excellent combat.

 

[Baron Dupek]

That gameplay video remind me somewhat Konung series, no idea why. Maybe because it have better combat?

Spoiler

Isn't that the end all be all question of the universe?

 

[Decado]

Why the fuck can't any of these fucking doofuses look normal? Goddamn it. Why are Josh Sawyer and Chris Avellone the only ones who look like they've ever seen the inside of a fucking gym?
