Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[DalekFlay]

The game could have been so much better if they had made it better:
- no corny companions
- throw away the VO
- put more efffort into composing a good musical score
- add more complex reactivity to quests, factions backstabbing each other, resolving a quest for one faction affects the quests of another, etc, a la Age of Decadence.
- ... continue the list...

Still can't believe they put the money up for full VO instead of focusing on other areas. I guess like a lot of other "incline" devs they were looking to spread interest to the kiddos, but I really think less people care than they think.

Alas, that's the best Obsidian can do right now, at least with this budget, though when it comes to writing and quest design, throwing more money only helps so far.

10 millions and this is what they could do with it?! They have done a lot better games with smaller budged,it is not the money,it is the lack of talent. Also having no companions will make the game even smaller and won't fix the writing. Actually removing the VO could have made the game better,too many things are tailored to it. But still shit writing.

This is not that game you play with companions, you make your own party, and go around killing stuff.

Why would you do this? It is not like the game need 5 optimally build characters.

 

[Shadenuat]

Cause it's fun this way.

And you don't have to build them optimally. You don't have to play 6 chanters.

 

[Lacrymas]

You also get sweet, sweet silence. No gays hitting on you either.

 

[fantadomat]

Yeah but you don't get the fun of equipping drog and letting them charge alone and naked in a hoard of undead.

[Infinitron]

Finally.

 

[Alienman]

Going for that Imam look.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Maybe I'm just old, but I don't see why the writers decided to add multiple sexually charged comment options in the initial dialogue.

I think this is just underestimating the intelligence of the audience, or simply bad skills in writing making someone go for the shock factor.

This is not that game you play with companions, you make your own party, and go around killing stuff.

Yep, I've been saying this long before it was released. This way of playing has its good sides.

Seems like no achievement for "finish the game on Expert, Trial of Iron, and Path of the Damned modes while not taking any new companions and without wearing any armor, boots, gloves, helmets, or accessories in combat." though.

Well, Adam says this is out of date and no longer correct.

121 people right now, that's a big difference buddy, how dare you say that this game is not popular, how absolutely dare you sir!

No wait, that's 122, we are reaching for the stars baby

 

[Infinitron]

2.0 patch will be launched alongside Beast of Winter DLC.

 

[AwesomeButton]

2.0 or 1.2? Also, I didn't know this was news. I just assumed they would do it this way, one thing gives more popularity to the other.

You liar,it is 132! But in reality it was 131 because i was there to check the number.

2.0.

1.2 will be in a week or so, these patch betas aren't long

 

[Bocian]

This is not that game you play with companions, you make your own party, and go around killing stuff.

I'm honestly surprised that people don't do it more often, 99% of screenshot I see default followers in party.

 

[santino27]

Adam needs to take lessons from Josh in reading/answering chat questions

 

[Infinitron]

There'll be another stream in two weeks, same time.

Amazing what firing your shitty marketing guy can change!

 

[fantadomat]

Did my duty!
