Eoten is actually the Old English root of ettin, not a made-up word: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eoten

Bestiary Entry 4: Eotens

A little tough to make out...

I like the drum made out of people. I want one.

I see they're really taking advantage of the opportunity to explore new territory with their own original fantasy IP.

All the creativity and originality went toward renaming Vampires to Fampyrs, I bet it took them a while to think of that one

 

[AwesomeButton]

Fampyrs is actually creative. Eotens, as wells as Naga (no plural form I guess) are from actual folklore apparently. At least this makes them free of any license.

Also, as it turns out "Ettin" wasn't particularly creative in the first place.

So I definitely want to import my beloved Char from PoE, but on the other hand I love character creation. That'll be a tough choice.

Import and change class then duh

 

[BilboBaggins]

You guys are acting like working around the DnD license to make a DnD-like game is bad thing. Maybe I'm simple, but I like it. Also grew up mostly on the AD&D 2nd edition stuff.

[Infinitron]

Oh hey where did this come from

 

[Sentinel]

Found an inaccuracy in that article.

It should be:
The Obsidian Story So Far - KotOR2; Neverwinter Nights 2; Alpha Protocol; Fallout: New Vegas; Dungeon Siege 3; South Park - The Stick of Truth; Pillars of Eternity. Avellone leaves. Eric Fenstermaker leaves. Tyranny; Pillars of Eternity 2
I think this would help readers understand the change in quality in the games.

 

[Alienman]

Is Pallegina Sawyers dream girl or something? I see her in every preview thingy he does.

 

[Sentinel]

It's his self-insert.

 

[Sizzle]

Is Pallegina Sawyers dream girl or something? I see her in every preview thingy he does.

It's a character he's writing himself, so that's probably why.

 

[Infinitron]

I don't think she's any more commonly seen than Eder. Why wouldn't a returning companion from the first game be prominently displayed

 

[Fairfax]

It's his self-insert.

That and part dream girl as well:

Even though she's officially the Least-Liked companion, I thought Pallegina's attitude was fun, though Josh was awfully heavy with the social justice allegory, even (probably unintentionally) including a nod to the Respectful Nod and (possibly intentionally) spreading his girlfriend's pro-Israel beliefs.

 

[Sizzle]

Played with her in the party, but I don't remember anything like that. What was the pro-Israel part?

 

[Sentinel]

I don't think she's any more commonly seen than Eder. Why wouldn't a returning companion from the first game be prominently displayed

Because she's one of the least popular companions, and you have Edér returning, who is the most popular one?

 

[Infinitron]

Because she's one of the least popular companions, and you have Edér returning, who is the most popular one?

So what you really need to ask is why she's in the game in the first place.

As far as Obsidian are considered, she's an iconic returning character from the first game.

I don't mind her being in the game if her inclusion didn't come at the expense of another, superior, companion *cought* Durance *cough*. She's fucking dead in my save anyway. And if she isn't, I'm killing her again as soon as I spot her in PoE2.

Damn I wasn't expecting grieving mother to be that high.

 

[Mazisky]

Damn I wasn't expecting grieving mother to be that high.

Because Avellone cocklick.

If it was by a random writer, she would be on pair with Pallegina

No she wouldn't you faggot. She's the best companion. Deal with it.
