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

[crawlkill]

Animats remind me of:

MALAAAK, TO MEEE! fuckin Blood Omen was so fuckin fine

 

[Gozma]

Let the inevitable Bioware-styled PC-moralizing commence.

Just like that other game Sawyer was head designer on, Fallout: New Vegas. Totally Biowarized man.

I'm kind of expecting the New Vegas thing where Sawyer has all this shit in his head about the factions which he will disgorge on Something Awful and Formspring when almost none of it is evident in the game. A solid 90% of the stuff about the Legion on the Fallout wiki is based on forum posts.

Good thing that PE is a series...

question: is it better to rename or to redefine a fantasy race? personally, I prefer redefinition. it requires a lot less paging space in my mind to remember "In Dark Sun, dwarves have no beards" than it does to remember "In Dark Sun, find'hargg are short, stout humanoids without beards." I'm all about a minimization of imaginary words. all hack fantasy settings use them and are worse for them. it's one of the few places Dragon Age fiction definitely goes right, in avoiding rebranding recognizable fantasy concepts.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

Renaming is fine if and only if your conlang is meaty enugh to give you context and reasons for your nonstandard names, making it actually a redefinition on some other level.

This is like Columbus naming native 'americans' indians

Even with the Legion depicted as super evil where you don't feel bad slaughtering them by the bucket load, New Vegas is not a liberal wet dream, if anything it makes libertarianism seem the best. Nor did I detect any kind of Biowarian style of writing in it.

Josh Sawyer is a LIBRUL, but I think he's the type of hip post-2000s liberal that respects gritty "authenticity" and nominal even-handedness (celebrity example: the creators of the HBO series The Wire).

From a german Gaming Magazin.

Josh and Chris gettin' to behead some people.

OMG, this look realy awesome :

 

[Brother None]

Game looks gorgeous

 

[hiver]

Pretty basic. And a lot of smaller shots of the waterfall area. But nice.

 

[Delterius]

Is this heaven?

I wasn't elaborating Rhalle's thing. Caesar did rattle off some Wikipedia Hegel, thus signposting the nominal philosophy of evil in New Vegas.

It was more of just a general complaint. Even if I think the Legion ended up kind of unfinished, it sucks that you can't have death of the author when he keeps footnoting more shit in on random forums.

[Kem0sabe]

Oh man, i'm such a graphics whore... those look awesome.

 

[Duraframe300]

As a note, those are all work-in-progress shots that were intended for (small) use in print. None of those are finished areas. Even the "original" area is still having work done on it.

[DraQ]

Ok. I can actually appreciate this kind of 3D used for lighting but otherwise constrained to quasi-iso (because I'm assuming that's what I'm seeing), despite me being a 3D whore.

 

[Whisky]

I approve!

 

[Branm]

Gorgeous... everything I hoped the game would look like :D

 

[Arkeus]

Project eternity continues to seduce our inner graphic whores.
