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

[Murk]

They either managed to Hype those of us who fell for it just right, or are doing a very poor job of explaining their non-shit system(s).

I am hoping it is the latter, but here in fair Kodecksia, hope does not belong.

Release your anger! http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60870-cooldowns-confirmed-time-to-rage/

Well that didn't last long (it's gone).

It was merged: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60...other-alternatives/page__st__100#entry1218274

 

[Jaesun]

eh it was fine it was merged (with a vote).

The PROPER system is currently winning.

 

[Tigranes]

Yeah, nothing was deleted, keep posting there.

Am waiting to hear more details to piece together before I declare game shit or great, but cooldowns is one piece of news I'd consider probably-shitty.

 

[Murk]

In the spirit of knee-jerk reactions and complete misrepresentation of what's going on:

Well, it seems with the throne of Bioware left in the hands of an unworthy successor, the estranged Uncle returns asking strange questions to his nephew, things like "What is a good casting system?" and "Do you remember the IE games?"

"No uncle, the young lad responds, I do not... tell me, could you show me how they go?"

"Why yes, young nephew, of course I can show you how to sit upon the throne, allow me to place myself there to get into the spirit of things, and allow me to regale your subjects with a tale of... Eternity."

 

[Hamster]

Yes, those two quotes from Feargus (or whoever) really change everything. I'm not going to drop my pledge but now I'm thinking this game doesn't deserve the distinction of an official Codex fundraiser.

Yeah, now i don't have to decide if i should increase my pledge or donate to codex fundraiser.

No vancian system - no more jewgold.

 

[Excidium]

lol @ reality settling in

 

[Infinitron]

"No, Obsidian. You are the Biowares"

 

[Jaesun]

As much as I am now doing a ThisIsAnOurtrage.jpg face.... I'll wait for some clarification.

 

[Infinitron]

In before VotS smug victory dance

 

[Jaesun]

Did he actually predict cooldowns?

Apparently you're an action gamer who doesn't care about RPG mechanics!

 

[Infinitron]

Well, "KOOL-downs" at the very least

 

[Digital Monocle]

KS finally hit 2.2 Million. moar story and characters. Cannot go wrong with that

*MOTHERFUCKING SIGH*

I'm tired of this fucking Obsidian KS bullshit. Honestly. Jesus christ I keep feeling like they're slowly sucking the life out of me while screaming "NO SERIOUSLY I WILL LET YOU COME IN MY MOUTH HOLD ON!!" and sorry. I just don't believe you. You fucked up. Pledge withdrawn from one of your previous staunch supporters. Y'all have a couple weeks to make me believe...but realistically I think I'd rather watch this one from the sidelines and hope for the best. Christ you guys. What a fucking mess.

 

[Jaesun]

In before cool-downs confirmed in Wasteland 2.

What's funny is that most of the game's critics here who did pledge, probably won't drop their pledges because of this.

Expectations are everything.

 

[Jasede]

Wow. Just wow.
Infinibron, your link isn't working for me.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

It's not just this. It's everything. It's the fucking retarded uninspired directionless KS videos. Its the concept art which looks worse than a 9th grader's math notebook. It's the "What the fuck is this, really?" It seriously all just sounds shit and all I've been going on is benefit of the doubt and they just shat on that. Fuck these guys, seriously. If the game ends up being decent, good or even brilliant I'll come out and admit I was wrong but I refuse to support or defend this stumbling bumblefuck any longer.

 

[Excidium]

In before cool-downs confirmed in Wasteland 2.

But the cooldowns will be in turns!

TURNS

 

[Cynic]

Shit's been removed.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Yeah, well, at worst Fargo will be the first and last to fucking dupe me into this bullshit. He wins for not pissing me off before it was too late to take my money back and that's that. Motherfucker I feel real fucking cynical right now.

 

[Murk]

They merged all that shit into the Vancian casting thread.

I think this is some passive-aggressive censorship -- bloat everything to the point of incomprehension so people stop posting.

What. The. Fuck.

EDIT: Aaannnnddddddd it's locked.

 

[Jasede]

Thread's been shut down.
As has my enthusiasm.
