[Humanity has risen!]

What so this has only four party members? Sucks.

Six, PC + 5 companions/mercenaries. At least that's what I remember reading.

 

[serch]

PE Attributes

Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intellect, Resolve, Perception

there's only one vocal, how are we supposed to make up some silly acronym?

Change dexterity for kinetics and we have the pricks system

Funny thing is, this update is still not on Kickstarter.

Probably wanted to stagger the traffic to the website as much as they could.

 

[~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-AIN'T]

Looks pretty awesome.

Am I the only one who wishes they just made Project: Eternity the name of the game? Pillars of Eternity sounds kinda dumb (but I'll get over it).

Ain't no two S's

 

[Apexeon]

Dam they got the waterfall working.
Looks like I will have to match them in my pitch video.

 

[Dexter]

Spell animations look like barf. Especially fireball. Christ, the most iconic spell has to be the most interesting. Not only is it banal, the 3d effect of the sphere looks like its 2001.

hm they promised a bg game and they are delivering one...
want better effects? play dragon age 3

Really?


I can still think back fondly at some of the effects they employed in Dragon Age 2 in amazed wonderment;

Spoiler

 

[Severian Silk]

"The Eternal Pillars" might have been a better name.

 

[Cynic]

Good trailer. Not great.

The art style is very nice, but the choppiness of the animation looks off, kind of jarring.

Backgrounds look superb, character models and their details are excellent. Spell effects mostly look fine, but again need some work.

Can't wait for the game, very hyped to play a true sequel to the IE series.

 

[CSM]

Not all that excited about this trailer, but Infinity games were never made for trailers.

 

[Turok]

AWESOME!!!!

 

[VioletShadow]

Looks pretty awesome.

Maybe we just got used to Project: Eternity (which sounds cool) and now the change feels a bit weird. I like Pillars of Eternity just fine, although not a big fan of the logo.

 

[Cynic]

Project Eternity never sounded cool...how can you call a fantasy RPG "Project" anything? doesn't gel from a marketing pov.

 

[Dreaad]

I hope the corpses don't vanish. Maybe it was just because that fireball is meant to remove the corpses but still.... hopefully it just hasn't been added in yet.

 

[UnknownBro]

Looks... okay, I guess? The name sucks balls though.

Those corpses 'sploded

 

[Direwolf]

Final name is definitely better than the original. Fuck anything with "project" in the name.

 

[MrBuzzKill]

Like the name, like the logo, like the backer portal, like the attention to detail in graphics.

Animation is a bit naff, however it looks and seems to feel like Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale. That's essentially what I pledged for so kudos to them.

This.

 

[Bulba]

well da3 gone to an absolute shit(no way such things exist)... waf happened to the party? guess it's just 3rd person slasher now and u romance yourself

 

[Surf Solar]

I like the new name and ofcourse the backdrops, but the trailer felt unfinished.
Also, I didn't like the music at all and the 3d models really stand out ugly from the background. Sigh, where's the sprites

 

[gromit]

Fuck anything with "project" in the name.

 

[Invictus]

Looks surprisingly good! Nice backdrops, nice looking effects, so so animations but a very strong Temple of Elemental Evil vibe with the Icewind Dale art style; definetly a very worth succesesor the the IE games and thankfuly no TB or not TB BS here because everybody"s on the same page.
Looks abot still 6 months into 2014 with probably some beta testing err superdemo ohhh limited access whatever by april
Definetly looking foward to it!

 

[Scruffy]

Final name is definitely better than the original. Fuck anything with "project" in the name.

this
i mean, come on, did you really want a non sci-fi game with "project" in its name?
