Game News Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announced and Live on Fig

[Flou]

This. What the fuck is people's problem with Carrie Patel? Oh, she's a woman! KILL KILL KILL! DURRRRR DURRR DURRRR!

People are still angry over limerick that got changed and made whoever made it actually stand out from the endless amount of backers whose tombstones no one bothered to read?

Gamers never change, nor apperently forgive or forget.

 

[Tao]

She has short boy-ish pink hair, and looks like a truck driver. What would you said about a bearneck with a fedora? That he got style and is a ladykiller?

Take the joke and move along or dont but dont make this a wichhunt drama now, or at least not in Codex

 

[Sizzle]

she actually sounded competent and articulate.

B-but she's a lady. With an unconventional hair style. Surely this is the worst thing to ever happen to the video game industry.

There's a theory among some of the members here that Obsidian is SJW because of how they handled the Firedorn situation.

I guess changing one silly little poem trumps all the times Durance says "Whore!", spouts misogyny, racism, and religious hatred, and somehow transforms the entire game into an SJW heaven.

 

[Tigranes]

Interesting, the trailer showcases (1) an actual lightning bolt, (2) seemingly less chaotic spell effects, though this is not at all conclusive, (3) definitely more interesting environments, which isn't hard after the Dyrwood.

Feargus listed the important members of the game's development team in the Fig comments:

 

[agris]

Can someone who backed it ask who are designing combat encounters, what about PoE 1's combat encounter design do they feel needs improvement, and if/how they're trying to address combat visibility w.r.t. the VFX overload in PoE1?

 

[Excidium II]

Imbecile,

Play Tyranny

Presumably the game's new dedicated Lead Designer, Bobby Null, who is known to be Obsidian's biggest grognard and was responsible for some of PoE's best encounters, will have some role to play here.

I have. And I have repeatedly called it out for SJW-isms, but this is a completely different team.

Don't know if you've played TWM, but they even poked fun at the entire situation with Faradorn by making that a bounty with the aforementioned character as a tranny :D

 

[Excidium II]

Yes but then it's proven the company is infiltrated.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Apart from the stupid haircut she even looks kind of cute, not really that bad if you ask me. I prefer to believe she is ok until proven otherwise :D

 

[i.Razor]

Cool.
Have finished White March expansions in PoE, just few hours ago, and it was great. Will buy the game on the release, no pleadges though.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Also bring back Eric Fenstermaker in some capacity, that guy was bro! :D

 

[kris]

and Early Access available for a steep $99.

"We really need your help in quashing bugs, you just need to pay double for the privilege to do it" :D

I played it. Nothing SJW. Whole lot of torture, death and destruction though. No safe spaces. Maybe you should play it? You might be surprised.

The most emotional moment for me in PoE was clicking on a random tombstone and discovering it to be Suicidebunny's.

 

[Space Satan]

It will be shit.
Still will buy it. I do hope the game will be like Baldur's Gate 2 was to Baldur's Gate I.

 

[abnaxus]

Trump will slap a 20% tariff on figs, this is bound to fail.

Oh boy, this will be fun. Game industry has been infiltrated by SJW. Can you remind me of a "misogeny" drama with some in game poem in PoE?

Please fix typo. It is clearly Carrie Pastel.

 

[Nazrim Eldrak]

I don´t like the tiers! I wished for a boxed edition, digital copy and pillars bundle for 100 bugs. The consequence is that there will be no pledge from me!

 

[Delterius]

Please fix typo. It is clearly Carrie Pastel.

I made some today. Its great!

 

[oneself]

Trailer was not headphones friendly. As for Patel, she sounded as eloquent as Sawyer and Fergus. The other two were clearly not used to PR.

As long as they don't deduct starting attribute points for picking human male, I'm OK.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Graphics looks gorgeous and I am happy someone is starting to give NPC schedules an attention they deserve. This is interesting that W3 figstarter had much more investor funding at the start than Poe2. Fargo gonna Fargo.

Is there an investor pitch? Like how previous fig investments did

[vonAchdorf]

They need to sell 600k for break even and think they can maintain a $23.60 lifetime net price after discounts and platform fees. So their projected ASP is over $30 for the game's lifetime.
