Where's your review Darth Roxor? And yours Prime Junta? Waiting to play this until patch final.0 is making me lust for some review-reading at least
Come on guys,the worst thing about both PoE games is the writing. Why the fuck are you expecting the "Dark humour" to be on the level??? Humour is a lot harder to write than normal writing,they couldm't do normal well let alone humour.I am okay with dark humour as long as they don't go philosophical. In fact much prefer former to the latter.

Yes,but didn't,not capable of doing it. It will be about a suicide cult,a lot more philosophy incoming.Come on guys,the worst thing about both PoE games is the writing.

In deadfire the regular conversations are decent. It's the philosophy, theology and prose that fells flat. They have the talent to write a b-rate TV series but think themselves capable of writing a philosophical novel. If they just wrote like they were doing adult Pirates of the Caribbean it would be fine.

But you have read most of the thread,stop wasting time get doing it!Where's your review Darth Roxor? And yours Prime Junta? Waiting to play this until patch final.0 is making me lust for some review-reading at least
I haven't even finished it yet, way too early to be thinking of a review.
But you have read most of the thread,stop wasting time get doing it!
Uhggg,it is funny,obviously! I have already written a fast review back when the game came out. I do have my opinion about the game. I am curious who the fuck reads reviews to make decision?! I read them because they are fun and interesting in a codexian way.Besides, why you need Roxor's review so much? You can't create your own opinion about game yourself without reading someone's "professional" opinion?
But which year?fwiw i'll try to get it done before august, but i make no promises
The same one the Grimoire's manual is released.But which year?fwiw i'll try to get it done before august, but i make no promises
Obsidian's marketing.
I never encountered this bug during my game,maybe it is a nu one introduced by the patching.I just encountered an interesting bug. Sometimes when you enter a new zone with a scripted interaction, your companion(s) will start an idle dialogue before it loads, and then will suddenly be cut off. In this case, one of Xoti's "zany" stories got cut short.
This is proof that Obsidian's bugs actually improve their storytelling.
Look I'm not trying to insult anyones favorite game but Divinity 2 is a very similar game that better in every way. Not to mention I think the first pillars game is better than this one.
Graphics: Divinity 2
Story: Divinity 2
Gameplay: Divinity 2
Companions: Divinity 2
Combat: Argueable but PoE combat gets a little easy. Divinity suiffers a similar problem in later areas.
Even the devs are better than obsidian. Not to mention Divinity 2 released with way less bugs. Another thing obsidian seems to have taken from bethesda. What really nails the coffin for me is that this game is more expensive than divinity. Its a great game but if you only have enough for one go with divinity. If your not some poor college student like me then get a life and buy both.
I adored POE 1, played almost 500 hrs. To me this game was slow, boring and confusing; so unlike it's prequel.
Outstanding game with the worst sea combat ever. It's like a broken text adventure from 1985. For that reason alone I'm giving it a thumbs down.
This game is ok thus far, but they went 100% in on the SJW ...stuff*. More than 1/2 the NPC characters in the game are africans with italian accents (not an exageration, literally half the characters). This is pretty clearly not their target market, but some unnecessary SJW appeasement that detracts from the game's story. I really loved the original Pillars of Eternity and was so excited to purchase this game in full, but I don't see why they did this. The original game was fantastic without this. Why couldn't you just stay out of the pop-culture bs and stick to creating a good story.
#NotMyPillarsOfEternity
"Obsidian's modern masterpiece" - me, re: Pillars ~400 hrs played.
"Deadfire is a pansexual dating sim, not an RPG. It's actually more challenging NOT to ♥♥♥♥ everything that moves." - me, re: Deadfire ~100 hrs played.
What a ♥♥♥♥ing disappointment. Forced myself through it.
PROS:
- Improves on just about every technical and mechanical issue present in Pillars.
CONS:
- Throws out everthing that made Pillars a masterpiece: a strong story and relatable characters.
1st game was fun overall and I expected better graphics and a better combat system.
Expectations not met on both accounts! Meh graphics and meh combat system.
