Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

The fourth in our series of videos showing the East Connection Music Recording Company perform music from Pillars of Eternity. In this video, the company performs the theme for Elmshore.

Hey, that's not Elmshore.

 

[Starwars]

It's the piece that plays in the first district of Twin Elms right? Silly of them to make a mistake like that.

It's one of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack though.

Pillars OST isn't great tbh, probably the weakest thing about the game

No thanks.

So Maneha is a follower of Ondra and a Giftbearer? Nice! I guess her quest will be linked to the Abbey of the Fallen Moon.

 

[Prime Junta]

I hope they wrote up a romance for her. That would be epic trolling.

 

[Sannom]

Whom would they be trolling exactly? Or is that just a reference to Ondra's legend?

 

[Prime Junta]

All the promancers who want to bed their dainty elf waifu and have been whining about Pillars not having any romances since the Kickstarter.

 

[Sannom]

I don't know, I feel the only persons who would be effectively trolled by this would be the Luzarius-type (what with Maneha being a tall muscular woman), not the general Promancers. Not that the Luzarius-type being trolled wouldn't be hilarious.

 

[Immortal]

I hope they wrote up a romance for her. That would be epic trolling.

Yea.. Right.. "Trolling".. That's why you want a romance written for her..
I'm on to you.

 

[Metal Hurlant]

^ You didn't go to the Obsidian forums with the multitude of romance threads after the Kickstarter? You should have seen it back then.

Well, shit is certainly better than diarrhea. I guess.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I actually always liked the soundtrack.

I may be biased by my overall antipathy to BioWare style dating games, but it seems to me that most promancers are Luzarius-types.

(N.b.: Luzarius is someone from the Obsidz boards who got extremely butthurt because he wanted to romance Cassandra in DA:I but she was too butch for his taste. I have no idea why he chose to air his butthurt there, perhaps he got kicked off the BioWare ones.)

 

[Metal Hurlant]

Ah Luzarius. Who could forget this post with Cassandra mapped to a male skull.

 

[Prime Junta]

I wonder what her sweat tastes like tho

 

[Neanderthal]

Aye ye gotta gi it to Obs for not cavin in to sickos who wanna molest NPCs, brave decision if you think about it, cos theres legions o them sad fucks.

Goin forward they need to introduce dick an pussy rottin diseases, get sales from sad fuckers, but troll em ard an av their characters die cos o fantasy aids.

 

[Prime Junta]

luzarious is actually a parody account if you dudes werent aware

No shit? How do you figure? I didn't know it's possible to parody that stuff.

First look at WM part 2 new creatures - the eyeless.

Spoiler

We get an exclusive glimpse at a new creature coming to Pillars of Eternity - The White March Part 2. The Eyeless are beings forged by a god and coming to Eora on February 16.

Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity was a smash hit when it was released last year. It was soon followed by The White Marsh Part 1expansion, taking players even deeper into the mysteries of Eora.

Now, with the final installment of that expansion coming on February 16 in the form of The White March - Part 2, we get a glimpse at The Eyeless, massive creatures that players will encounter and be forced to defeat to move through the game.

"At the beginning of the second part of The White March, the Watcher has a dream in which they see terrible visions of these monstrous creatures sweeping across the Eastern Reach, destroying every settlement and overpowering every army in their path." said Josh Sawyer, Obsidian's game director for the series. "It's unclear where the Eyeless have come from and why they would want to destroy civilization, but the Watcher's dream puts them on a path to find out why."

And since the story calls for The Eyeless, it's up to the character artist team to bring them to life.

"From the start, we knew the Eyeless had to be really unique," said Dimitri Berman, lead character artist on Pillars of Eternity. "The story called for a race of beings forged by a god, so at once it was an exciting challenge. The Eyeless had to be practical because they were built for a purpose, but they were also truly alien to Eora, so we tried to convey that in their statuesque form. We also imagined the god could forge with both bronze and organic matter indiscriminately, and sometimes might blend the two, so there are parts where the internal metal skeleton reveals itself through the thin moon-flesh."

Part 2 is expected to finish up many of the stories left dangling at the end of Part 1, while introducing a new Barbarian companion named Meneha. The game will be also incorporating a new gameplay mode called "Story Time," which will let players get through the world a bit quicker.

Pillars of Eternity has been one of the Kickstarter success stories, having nabbed $4 million in crowdfunding, and being released to fantastic reviews after a few minor delays.
