Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

[Nas92]

Weird, when I choose the save to be imported it says "Lighthouse" and shows only 5 party members instead of 6. The fuck is going on?

I feel like you had to search for the right save. Maybe based on the date of the save game? The one at the top of the list to import is not the right one.

There's only one save available, which is the gamecomplete.savegame. But it doesn't matter since I checked out a few videos and it appears that it's the same for everyone. The game shows only five party members and every save is called "Lighthouse". Strangely enough barely anyone seems to be commenting on this.

Must of been thinking of another game then. Witcher maybe.

I like Lego. I haven't played with some since I was a kid, a tragedy. I wouldn't make anything PoE-ish with it though.

 

[pomenitul]

Neither would I, but you gotta admit the giant miniature space piglet is a nice touch.

So I'm replaying PoE because I hate myself, and this part of the journal is kind of annoying me:

They put The White March right in the middle when I'm hours away from getting to it, which is triggering my OCD. Would've been better to put it in the bottom, or better yet hide it until you start the DLC.

Obvious

farming, but I'll still take the bait.

The siloing of quests really annoys me. You should just have a list of quests, maybe a section for main quests and one for non-main quests. That's it! No more subsections needed!

The organization helps people determine what's essential, what's non-trivial, and what things you do because they're there.

Quest trackers are for n00bs. Real men take notes.

Yes, because video games just aren't time-consuming enough as it is.

The definitive edition (that comes with both DLCs) is 75% off on Steam. At less than 10€, now it's finally legal to buy this game.

 

[Butter]

That's worth it for White March alone. It would be nice if they gave you the option to run White March as a standalone campaign.

 

[Mazisky]

Pillars 1+exp is still a better experience than DOS 2 imho. Totally worth

But is it fun?

 

[MajorMace]

It is, yes. It's a generic fantasy party-based hack n slasher à la IE games and it's fun.
Albeit, the replay value suffers from the lack of diversity of encounters and challenge at high level (besides a few set encounters).

 

[Farewell into the night]

Pretty bland and boring game, but it has some good moments. It is a love letter to the old Infinity engine classics like BG2, but that love has the smell of soy.

Its's fair to say that it t is worth that price.

 

[Lacrymas]

The lack of replay value is due to how mind-numbingly boring base game is. I'd say you can squeeze a few playthroughs by playing different characters. I actually managed to do 3 playthroughs of PoE1 - once when it came out with a Priest, then once again with a Priest (Skaen) when WM and all the patching was done, and a final time with a Bleakwalker Paladin. I tried to do an ironman run with a Druid, but it's a shitty class. I'm also planning a Wizard/Priest/Druid 3-man run sometime down the road. The problem is always how shit base game after the first town is.

Thought as much.

Went through the whole game three times as a Druid, and planning to do it for the fourth time very soon. They deal a great amount of AoE damage, while offering a bit of CC and greatly improving the party's ability to sustain damage. They lack the Priest's buffs, but who doesn't?

 

[TemplarGR]

Yup. PoE 1 initially was meh, but after lots of patching and 2 expansion it became a nice BG clone.

But is it fun?

As much as an obsolete isometric dice roll based crpg could be. It's not Skyrim, but you could do worse.

I meant it more flavor-wise. I hate how the class plays and it's not a Druid imo, it's a nature priest with shittier spells and a token transformation. It does deal ridiculous damage, though, both in cat form and the lightning-based spells. I'd say a Rotskulls-focused Druid could be fun, but it takes too long to get to the spell.

I think it is mostly the defiant bay's storyline that's garbage. I think some side quests in defiant bay (the siren in the tower for example), and quests and encounters in twin elms (gods' tasks especially) were actually enjoyable. Questline they added to usurping the Caed Nua is also a nice diversion.
