Pentiment - Josh Sawyer's historical mystery narrative-driven game set in 16th century Bavaria

The thought we might never see PoE3 directed by him saddens me, but it was bound to happen once MS took Obsidian over.

This was never going to happen anyway. After Deadfire he said he never wanted to work on a Pillars of Eternity game again.

Damn, I haven't played it yet, is PoE2 this bad?

Why the fuck one would want another pillars of boring, as 2 weren't enough already. Do I need to remind you fags?



I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

He probably has to dress up as woman every now and then or they'll ban him from Something Awful.

It's way better than PoE 1. I liked the isometric art, exploration is better imo and while the turn-based combat was welcomed, it was simplistic. As for the story, the usual Soyer soy boredness.
2 games are enough.

On my second Pentiment playthrough and I just persuaded a 10-year-old girl that the Wild Hunt is a benevolent force and that she should investigate the pagan practices of her ancestors.

10/10 would groom underage German girls to become witches again.

Is the culprit revealed at the end of the game or what? and can you blame the right person if you do a good enough job collecting evidence?

There was a pretty detailed explanation of this a page or two ago.

Seems p. gud, can't wait to pick it up for a bargain basement price in a sale in three years' time.

They've always been making a point about their dialogue writing tools, and the dialogues in PoE and Deadfire felt like menus for infodumps much of the time.

Their tools are probably great. The users? Not so much.

Ever since they fired MCA it's been downhill.

It was downhill from the start. Clones of past successes were the best they managed, it just took a while to see they were wasting their talent away.

Shitposting... Sawyer is so laid back and cool, man.

Edit:

And boy, everything around this game feels manufactured.

 

[†††]

"I'm sort of back"

He left?

 

[Dadd]

Can someone on twitter ask him to define "shitposting"

"That is what humans do when they want to be funny, fellow human."

We have niche memes, just like Disco Elysium. Spoiler: they were made by us and our friends.

2) there are quite a few instances of "we're in Medieval times and women sure have it badly, yet they must suffer silently, oh if only men didn't hold all the power" dialogue that feels shoehorned,

Yeah, a truly passionate European history autist. Not like his sole goal in exploring European history is demonizing Whites and shitting on their legacy like all the other Californians cucks.

People despise Soyer for a good reason.

i pity what the internet has done to you man
