Tyranny Pre-Release Thread

[yes plz]

So, do you need to have a magic staff equipped to use spells in this? It might've been answered in that video but I jumped around in it and had it muted because I fucking hate listening to commentaries.

 

[Sannom]

I don't think so, no. It would kind of fly into the face of the concept of having everyone being able to use spells as long as they have the necessary Lore and Control <Sigil> score.

Unrelated, but I feel kind of bad for Sawyer when I look at Tyranny. Based on some his previous comments and works, it seems he would have been much more at home on Tyranny, with its skill-based system and focus on relationships with different factions, than on Pillars of Eternity, with its class-based system and much less important factions.

If you look at our Eric Fenstermaker interview in retrospect, his answers about what he'd like to see in PoE2 read like a list of "Stuff I like about Tyranny".

I definitely know that voice actress from PoE.

I definitely know that voice actress from PoE.

As far as I can tell, most (maybe even all) of Tyranny's VA worked on PoE.

I definitely know that voice actress from PoE.

It may be Pallegina without the accent, but I'm also hearing the Devil.

 

[Excidium II]

Nice hips for an old woman.

Honest talk: this naming scheme is giving me the impression that the game is aimed at adolescents.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I rather think the writers are simply doing their best.

 

[Excidium II]

The writers are adolescents. Desk covered in toys.

I think it's the actress who did Calisca / Sagani.

 

[Infinitron]

Pardon me for the heresy but is this really that much worse than a floating skull named "Morte"

Who cares about names, it's what they say that matters.

 

[Bubbles]

At least he wasn't named Head.

 

[Plane Escapee]

Honestly, head wouldn't be as terrible.
I think the only equivalent is really Mr. Funny Floating Talking Eyeballs-Skull.

If it was even more obviously stupid, i.e. Pebble the Rock or Man the Male, than I'd at least be able to accept it as a legitimate attempt at being (stupid-)funny in a Larian Studios sort-of-way. It would still make me cringe, it would be dumb (with the intention of being dumb) instead of pretentious (and dumb).

That doesn't mean much, to be honest. Wanna guess whose desk this is?

 

[Excidium II]

What a nightmare.

 

[agris]

A serial killer's? Who the fuck is responsible for that atrocity Fairfax?

 

[Leechmonger]

Her Terratus’ Call and Mother’s Embrace abilities can shut down problem units

I think they meant "problematic"

I'm all for collecting shit but you put it on a shelf or display case, not leave in the package and pile them up on your workplace.
