Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

[Prime Junta]

Pretty sure he means the Endurance/Health split.

But there isn't one. That's the point.

 

[Infinitron]

luj1 is tremendously proud to be a mindless, reflexive grognard. It's really hard for me to believe that he isn't self-aware.

"This ruleset is horrible!"

"Okay, what's wrong with it?"

"It's populist!"

"Uh what does that mean"

"It's cancerous!"

"..."

Who cares how the game actually plays (and there's plenty to criticize!) - the important thing is that Josh Sawyer is a compromiser and that can't be allowed. On the other hand, full-blown console popamole is apparently just fine.

 

[Lacrymas]

But there isn't one. That's the point.

Ah, I thought he was complaining they removed it.

 

[Fairfax]

You have a very weird definition of grognard, Infinitron.

 

[Alpan]

How is the supply of money in this game, is it tight as it is or should I pick Abydon's challenge?

No, it's not particularly tight. The best ships and the upgrades can be costly, but you can wait until endgame to acquire them. Abydon's challenge is a good idea to make the money economy more interesting.

 

[2house2fly]

You are quite the optimist to post this on Obs' bug forums. My thread for the *game-breaking* bug is a week old now and I've gotten minimal and useless feedback from them. Unless they were on holiday a week before the actual holiday?

To be fair, yours is a unique edge case. Probably hard for them to pin down what's causing it.

 

[luj1]

PoE will never come close to any of those games. PoE is a garbage franchise for low-standard hipsters

 

[luj1]

There is no endurance in the game, they removed it.

Good. They finally realized its useless trash. Now re-write the ruleset.

 

[Prime Junta]

Good. They finally realized its useless trash. Now re-write the ruleset.

They did.

 

[luj1]

Youre talking trash

are there still per encounter abilities?

do points in stats still give nano bonuses?

yeah, you're just as clueless as Sawyer when it comes to basic PnP system design

It's not a PnP game.

 

[luj1]

To design a fucking RPG ruleset it must first work on paper you dumbass

 

[luj1]

"It's populist!"

"Uh what does that mean"

I'll just leave this here as a testament to your stupidity inshillitron

 

[2house2fly]

Sawyer is rebalancing the ship combat afterall. There's a complete overhaul in the game files.

Is it the ship combat that's getting overhauled or just the way ships on the overworld interact? Because we know the option to intimidate and parley is being added in

Since I'm the only one who has the issue, yeah, probably. I'm tempted to rush a Story mode char through to see if it's pervasive or I can just restart.

 

[2house2fly]

I idly checked the number of players on steam and it's double anything I've seen since before the first DLC come out. I guess that turn-based mode got people excited

TOW might have helped with general interest on Obs, f.i. TFS trailer watched 3x more than SSS trailer, one third more than BoW's. I don't imagine many would know about TB leak.

Or it could be because it's on sale right now.

 

[2house2fly]

Could be. I haven't noticed any bump in players during previous sales, but I don't particularly keep track. Well hey, if they make a bit more money off it maybe they'll add a bit more content

 

[Delterius]

you sound kinda clueless about everything

 

[The Great ThunThun*]

Good. They finally realized its useless trash. Now re-write the ruleset.

They did.

Yes they did. And PoE 2 is now a better game than PoE 1 for it.

You know what is funny though? It is still a mediocre game. Simply because the core setting is tired and soulless, hollowborn some might say. And what is more is that no amount of fixing is going to save it from being D&D lite, which is the best it can become.

 

[Safav Hamon]

You just described Pathfinder

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Is this thing having the turn-based mode or what.

 

[2house2fly]

Nobody knows. Obsidian hung around in the office just long enough to yank the turn-based system back out of the game and unfuck the saves of people who played while it was in, and then went home for Christmas.
