Pillars of Eternity Beta Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Sensuki]

I agree that the outside looks funny, the top wall section design is like wtf? (no doors, ramps etc) and the steep camera angle doesn't do the map any favors. Would look a lot better from a higher camera.

Also this

That? Thats nothing. Explain this:

[Sensuki]

Which window would you remove? The one on the side?

 

[polo]

Indeed, also why make em like that and not like the top ones?

 

[Apexeon]

Hold on let me Arda over the cracks.

These are the times when I'm happy that I never notice these small imperfections and bugs. It would be much harder to enjoy games.

 

[polo]

Don't get me wrong, i don't give a fuck, doesn't change my opinion about the game ONE bit. I just wanna know wtf was thinking whoever designed the map. While playing i won't probably notice those, although i could notice the morning star clipping trough the ground.

They probably noticed too, just I imagine with a development cycle as tight as this one they couldn't be fucked to fix it.

I don't see it. What is supposed to be the problem here?

 

[Zed]

the dark bits on the stained glass are misaligned.
how can you not see it?

 

[Diablo169]

Maybe people in the Pillars setting don't conform to our sense of design aesthetic?

How is your brained wired to notice something like this? This brings nitpicking to a whole new level. :D

Funny, but only in german.

 

[Apexeon]

Is it that Arda stuff again. I thought it only made rocks float.

 

[Tjaron]

I would expect the windows to be in alcoves aligned with the outer edges of the (thick) walls. Them beeing so flat on the inner side makes the walls seem paper-thin.

I've been hardcore reporting bugs for weeks, that's why. Doing you a favor, tbh.

What is the fucking obsession with randomized container loot these days?

Well, the big red circles helped.

Ok, ok, but if you see it in the game, without hints, then who picks those imperfections up? Apart from Sensuki of course.

The OCD is strong in this one. But seriously, are there gamers who are willing to save scumm for a dozen time, just to get the best armor? And if there are, who cares about them? Overall, I don't see the problem with randomizing basic shit, until there are handplaced unique items.

 

[Roguey]

The randomization needs more balance (i.e. there shouldn't be an extreme gulf between the best things you can get and the worst), and I imagine, like inXile, balancing randomized loot will be one of the last things done.
