Game News Pillars of Eternity Patch 1.10 Introduces Turn-based Combat Mode, Overhauls Attribute System

Kind of surprised so many people are upset about this. "Tim Cain shoehorning turn-based combat into a real-time game at the last minute! Second time's the charm!"

What I would like to know is how you got a hold of my update before I posted it?

I am really pissed. We are now going to remove turn-based mode AND talk to inXile about converting Torment into RTwP.

OK, sounds good Brandon.

Scammers. Making a crappy micro heavy systhem was Sawyer's excuse to turn it into a turn based one as soon as he could. They won't even bother with RtwP in the next one.

Riding on the infinity games popularity for this...

But why do I get a feeling the newspost is bullshit?

oh right...

Thanks, now I have to recover and find my balance.

I suppose it doesn't come as a complete surprise. After all, this is what Tim Cain said to mindx2 in our Codex PAX East interview:

Tim: I love turn-based games. This actually goes back to something Chris was saying, when I worked on South Park… right when I arrived there it was a real-time game and one of the things I was asked was to make it turn-based. It’s easy to turn real-time systems into turn-based ones, so I’m just throwing that out there [as he looks towards the other team members].

[laughter]

Tim: I’m familiar with a lot of these systems in Pillars and how to convert them. Again I’m just saying that…

Thus they placed a lipstick on a pig.

More like detecting large quantities of hurt near Uranus.

Best April Fools joke ever :D. Thanks ~~Tim~~ Zed!

Outlander · Apr 1, 2015

I felt a radiant flower blossoming inside of me. Only for it to be furiously stomped on by the ridiculous boots of folk tradition mere seconds after.

Shaewaroz · Apr 1, 2015

Holy shit, wasn't expecting this.

EDIT: You got me, damn.

DarKPenguiN · Apr 1, 2015

Shannow · Apr 1, 2015

I hate April 1st. I hope at least the patch really isn't too far off.

I can be rather naive at times, but it took me entire two seconds to realize it's a joke. Guess I'm improving. It was a good joke though, during those two seconds I rose to Mount Everest of joy and fell to the Mariana Trench of disappointment.
