[Volrath]

I know a casual who won't play the game until it has party AI.

The game wasn't funded by nor intended for casuals though.

[Infinitron]

What are you laughing at, the "funded" or the "intended"?

What are you laughing at, the "funded" or the "intended"?

Mostly the former.

Our own intrepid Gamescom agents also had a look at The White March yesterday, and they came away with positive impressions - of the game, at least. More on that later.

I wondered where Prime Junta had disappeared to...

 

[GloomFrost]

Jesus Christ!! Calm down people!! There is still a chance, it could be the next Mask of the betrayer or at least hordes of the Underdark!

 

[Infinitron]

I don't know why would asssume that it's going to be one of those instead of being exactly what it wants to be, a better Tales of the Sword Coast.

Because NWN2 OC was a mediocre game at best and MOTB is one of the best RPGs ever. Both developed by the same company. Can you really not see any similarities??

 

[Infinitron]

Nope.

 

[GloomFrost]

Oh well, I tried.

 

[Fenix]

Sounds fun as hell

That's why I didn't done it yet (besides waiting for 2.0 patch).

Come on my Nigga combat in DoS was at least fun... Its more you can say about any element of Pillows except pretty and fun to watch scenery.

It was fun, I don't argue about it, but more than 2 chars? No fucking way.

White March, eh? Eagerly awaiting someone to be offended by this obviously racist title and have Obsidian change it.

 

[Immortal]

[Fenix]

Lol, from Russia it looks like joke, but given all the hysteria about shirt ofthat guy who landed whole fucking probe on comet, I would not be surprised.

Sure, positive impressions of The White March but not enough People of Color at Gamescom.

 

[Sannom]

(I think we just learned Brian is lead on an unannounced RPG?)

Why would a concept artist with more than a decade of experience at his job be the lead designer for a game?

You're hilarious.

 

[bloodlover]

I am not really excited about an "expansion" that comes after what... 5-6 months since the original game? Isn't DLC the proper term?

 

[Infinitron]

Tales of the Sword Coast came five months after Baldur's Gate 1

 

[tdphys]

Okay, I'm still intrigued by the "not well received" comment at the end of the post... and somehow Roxor has a gamescom 2014 report in his sig... Maybe I'm just presuming, but did we actually have a face to face obsidian reaction to his vile screed?

Heinz(s?), not Menze.

He's the lead designer/project director of an unannounced RPG.

 

[Anthony Davis]

Brian Menze is a lead artist.

I'm new at posting in here, but a long time lurker. The greatest systemic problem that PoE has is combat feedback. Even 2D games of 15 years ago handled it better. The current state is inexcusable.

Road trip around Europe. The Riviera was nice.
