Game News Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announced and Live on Fig

[Fairfax]

They need to sell 600k for break even and think they can maintain a $23.60 lifetime net price after discounts and platform fees. So their projected ASP is over $30 for the game's lifetime.

Assuming "platform fees" means the store's cut, that also suggests a budget of ~$14 million. A lot more ambitious than the first.

Pledged cause Josh's a cute! A CUTE!

 

[garren]

Oh boy, this will be fun. Game industry has been infiltrated by SJW. Can you remind me of a "misogeny" drama with some in game poem in PoE?

Oh man, the neon hair is always a dead giveaway.

 

[Tigranes]

Are you guys obsessed with SJWs or something

Is this like where Donald is obsessed with his hands

 

[Infinitron]

They're giving a $5 discount for Pillars of Eternity 1 backers, woot.

 

[oldmanpaco]

I look forward to buying this 50% off during the 2018 Steam Winter Sale.

so far they have said:

- dynamic weather and NPC schedules
- almost no loading time (i am going to hold on them promise)
- new AI, pathing, etc basically the little annoyance that hold PoE 1 back

seems great so far, pillars was okay, white march fixed alot of wrong in pillars, and 2 seems to improve everything that they have built. also the new character model looks nice

 

[Pentagon]

Really looking forward to this! Backed!

 

[HoboForEternity]

i also wonder if eder will turn on you and join eothas if you antagonize him enough. i hope they add these things so the characters are more dynamic and not just mindless followers.

Josh - checked

RtwP - checked

Fig - checked

I would not back this shit in a million years. And some.

 

[Infinitron]

Updated OP with some interviews.

 

[MasPingon]

This tread is like a cuck detector.

 

[Marquess Cornwallis]

Given the discounts this would more or less work for me as a glorified pre-order given they'd focus on how they're going to fix the major problems Pillars had (there's maybe one vague reference to encounter design and no mention at all of how heavy-handed the writing and the story were in the original game and what exactly they intend to do about that in the sequel) rather than spend most of the time talking about cosmetic improvements even though presentation was something hardly anyone ever complained about.

See the PC Gamer interview

 

[DemonKing]

Backed - although it will cost me more than both POE and the expansion due to the substantial drop in the Aussie dollar since the original kickstarter...

I'm assuming you can carry your character over from the original. A bit disappointing that all that investment into the keep in the first PoE was for nothing in the end though.

 

[Grotesque]

what was the Codex game content in Pillars 1?

 

[Turok]

I have to tell the truth, i still don't finish the original POE, waiting to get a new ZEN processor to see if it run smooth.

 

[Irenaeus]

I'm assuming you can carry your character over from the original.

Yes.

 

[oldmanpaco]

I'm assuming you can carry your character over from the original.

Yes.

Ripping his way out of the ground, he destroyed your stronghold and left you at the brink of death.

Inb4 you start over at lvl one because of amnesia or brain damage or whatever.

Will say the pics look good but not backing major developers anymore.

Patel's current haircut is completely unsuited for her face. She looked much better with pixie cuts. Her husband's likely too much of an 00s-era Wyrmlord to tell her himself.

I see Obsidian's decided to forego the hassle of making DRM-free discs. I guess I should consider myself lucky to get one that will save me maybe a gigabyte, assuming they won't end up replacing the entire thing by the time they're finished patching.

They've gone paranoid. It's because Illuminati are putting chemicals in the water. Gamergate Central recommends to drink your own urine to resist government mind control.

 

[Q]

I like her haircut, so backed.

 

[duanth123]

what the fuck is wrong with all of you.
