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

[Jasede]

Adventurer's Guild.
BAM.

Edit: beaten by infinity bro

 

[Scruffy]

i just hope that the "hall of heroes" doesn't actually get called that, and eventually gets a non-shitty name.

It's called the Adventurer's Hall, not "Hall of Heroes".

still somewhat shitty
it should just be a normal inn or tavern that has a reputation for being a gathering place for adventurers or something

 

[Jasede]

You mean something like in Bard's Tale? That'd be a nice touch.

 

[hoverdog]

It doesn't look g-OH GOD MULTI-HEADED SNAKES HITTING ASS AND LEG OH GAWD ITS HEAVAN

RPS: Old-school RPGs weren’t perfect. Animations weren’t great, controls were clunky, menus required a billion clicks, numbers were everywhere, etc. How much are you modernizing the old-school template vs reproducing it?

*sigh*

For fuck's sake it's a drow called Aloth. That must have taken all of 5 seconds to come up with.

MCA will fill him with SOUL.
Hehehe, soul, you get it? Cause game has.. uh.. souls.

 

[Jaesun]

RPS. lol

 

[Whisky]

Avellone: Yes, we want to examine the dialogue mechanics, and one thing we’re going to do is low-intelligence options – either based on Intelligence or a trait – and have the sequences play out differently according to the player’s intellect. As a narrative designer, I enjoy writing interactions like that, and I had a blast with the stupid options in F2 in Vault City and New Reno.

Pledge increased by all my money.

drow your ass... this elven chillaxer's pale skin. just look at the wallpaper, there you can see all the core companions.

 

[Jaesun]

Low INT dialogue confirmed? Nice. But would a party actually follow someone so dumb? Or maybe they feel sorry for Him/Her.

Nice to see MHD confirmed as well. <3

Nah, man. I bet it took aloth of time!

Reminds me of Virgil's rants when he realizes you're dumb. That was hilarious.
I have no idea how the other companions reacted, though, or if you could get others, haven't played too much with low intelligence.

 

[Jarpie]

what is MHD?

They better put another wizard companion in the game who isn't an elf because they suck.

 

[Infinitron]

what is MHD?

Codexian Lore Check Failure

This is the MHD

Try to guess what the letters stand for.

You can find different grimoires in the world, but you have to painstakingly copy down every single spell you know every single time you find a new one. It never occurred to the wizards that they should probably use magic to accomplish this task.​

Tomes/grimoires are enchanted objects. Even if there were magic to copy text (there is not), it's not a matter of just having a photocopy of the spell in front of you. The tome essentially acts as a linked spell battery.

The root source of power in a tome is the soul of the person who enchanted it, though the initial enchanter is not intrinsically linked to the tome after he or she enchants it.

Not all spells that wizards cast require a tome. Tomes just make the process of casting spells much easier.

For one, this is not realistic. I mean this is as realistic as fighting a dragon as a MONK or having turn based combat. It is happening because.. guess what.. IT is a game and you are the player. You are not playing NWN2 as a dumb fighter to learn of Adventures of Sand the over-smart.

Secondly: Because you are the chosen one for most of such games if not all (Even in Fallout, YOU are the chosen one; dumb as you may be).

Ah yeah, should've put the two together. Maybe sitting in work on evening shift has dulled mah brian.

 

[Jaesun]

To be honest, I think the reason people will follow you, is because of the "Event" that happens in the early part of the game. You are NOT the Chosen One™, you are now a Victim of Circumstance. Which is fine. And will most likely make sense.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Why do you stand in the way of progress, you fucking philistines? Were you sleeping under a rock or something? We want movies, not your stupid video games. FUCK, NUMBERS MAKE ME ANGRY!

 

[Ion Prothon II]

Those artworks are terrible.

First, Cunegund wearing boob plate armor. I guess she was a canonical "human warrior" character.

Then, a really original one. Drow Alo(l)th, wielder of purple gay magick, summoning MULTI HEADED DICK SNAKES (...). Likely a warlock, because warlocks deal with gay magic since forever.

(Korvin Longkutz, official DnD warlock)

I wonder what will be next. Maybe they will reach a peak of creativity and make a cobold bard Deekin. (an army of Skyrimdrones wanted a scalefag race, btw)

Victim of circumstance = = Chosen by stars of luck. (spell check is not working for me x-( )

I would really like to play the game where you HAVE to take initiative to choose a side. FNV was one game that did this really well.

Their explicit mentioning of Factions in this game leads me to believe we will more than likely be siding with one or more. And the consequences there of, hopefully.

Amen to that.

EDIT: make a thread on the board.
