Tyranny + Bastard's Wound Expansion Thread

[Roguey]

I haven't heard that. They're about the same/better because areas are smaller.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tyranny is Unity 5 but it's still built on top of PoE1's outdated systems. The loading times are probably slightly better than PoE1.0 but nothing major.

I personally doubt we will see Bastard's Wound as soon as August, Q4 would be more realistic IMO

I've played some with the new DLC thing now, though not a whole lot. I mean... it's kind of cool. The content is rather nice for fleshing things out and making travel more interesting. It is basically the stronghold stuff added in PoE, little dialogue things with decisions to make (except in the context of you traveling instead of being inside the stronghold).

Hard to say whether it's worth it. I mean, it is cheap but at the same time it feels pretty close to "patch material" (especially considering the stuff was added in PoE for free). But I like the additions themselves so far it least, it's a welcome little change of pace whenever they pop up.

Then again they promised proper stronghold for PoE as one of their stretch goals. It would have been a PR nightmare to fix the stronghold, but make the customers pay for it again.

Possibly related: Tyranny = Unity 5, PoE1 = Unity 4.

I thought Tyranny's load times were worse than PoE's?

I haven't heard that. They're about the same/better because areas are smaller.

The load times even for small areas are pretty fucking bad, even on my SSD. Areas with multiple smaller areas tied to them are a fucking chore, such as Lethian's Crossing.

I was pretty annoyed that we never got to go to The Bastard City, just adding to the feeling of a half-finished game, but considering load times in cities with how they usually work in this type of game, it might've been a blessing in disguise.

...and once again I'm just awestruck by how boring they managed to make the Oldwalls. I mean, how? How on earth did anyone think this was supposed to be fun?

Oldwalls is the only reason I haven't played it through again. That place was just too damn boring and generic.

the dungeons are such a huge waste of effort and resources

theres so little cleverness going into them, like.. even the enemies are just generic "wisp" things??

i'm mad because this game was pretty nice outside of that haha

Who is writing the Bastard's Wound ?

 

[Quillon]

Prolly Matt MacLean and additional writers

what's she writing on PoE2? Probably the feminazi donut steel companion, who is silent but fast, "intelligent but uneducated, hulking but agile, and an unapologetic killer but not evil."

outstanding job obsidian QA team!

 

[Alienman]

Will the coming expansion be a new chapter or will it be something like The white march?

We don't know yet.

 

[Infinitron]

Pretty sure it's like White March.

New info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectete..._a_heads_up_if_you_liked_pillars_of_eternity/

TBW can be played mid-game or after the end, like TW3 expansions I guess. Coming in August.

Matt MacLean is now game director for both DLCs. There is no sequel plans yet so what's Brian Heins doing?

I imagine that Obsidian will adopt this model for any future expansions for PoE2/their other project, even though it places limits on game design (though thematically, TWM2 would have worked better after the end of PoE).

 

[Flou]

Maybe the Project Director for similar DLC package that would come out early next year? Knowing Paradox they probably won't stop with 3 DLC addons for the game, but would they greenlight more before seeing how well these sell and how much of an impact they have on Tyranny's sales overall?

Paradox will continue to churn out expansions in the hope that one sells.

 

[Background Character]

after the end

This is what I'm talking about fucking fantastic

 

[Infinitron]

"After the end" doesn't mean it continues the game's storyline. It probably just means they let you continue playing in the new areas while the consequences of the main plot are sort of ignored, like the post-endgame of a Bethesda RPG.
