Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

So... It was a bit challenging for a short while but about the time I passed lvl 11 everything just turned brain-dead easy (even with up-scaling on). How is this possible? I'm barely halfway through the levels and I can attack click and close my eyes on 95% of the encounters? (And I have not been close to dying once since I

The game being undertuned is a massive understatement.

Obsidian will never have another soundtrack this good

I mean, you could say that about Obsidian's back catalogue in general. The soundtracks for Mask of the Betrayer and Kotor 2 also completely blow away the PoE/Tyranny/Deadfire scores. They should really look into replacing Justin Bell.

What difficulty?

Ydwin tells me she won't put any part of my body in her mouth.

Eh, go back to jerking off Jordan Peterson or whatever. Not gay if the lobsters don't touch.

What is this? An actual developer pretending this sjw crap doesn't matter? Here, have an agenda.

 

[Sentinel]

Is Roguey alive?
We don't want him finishing like bunch of poor Koreans playing StarCraft to death.

Roguey gave up on the game as soon as he heard they cut down party size to 5. Won't even touch it.

 

[Blakemoreland Hybrid Boss]

IE games are bad strategy games.

They are bastardized AD&D adaptations with romances adventures.

 

[tripedal]

Even though Ydwin looked like generic waifubait she's probably the most interesting NPC in the game, and they didn't bother doing anything with her. Bizarre.

Alt-tards: IF SJWs don't like lack of representation of particular type of people, they should make their own games!

Also alt-tards: NOOOO WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN MY GAMES

fuck off.

SJW-tards: NOOOO, WHY ISN'T ANYONE BUYING OUR GAME AND PILLARS NOW A DEAD FRANCHISE!? I thought people liked Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment so much because of buttugly boring characters, verbose writing, gay romances and fish-sex! I guess there's no audience and isometric RPGs are dead after all!

Oi we forgot about this:

This is not a counter-argument, if game fails it fails for whatever reason. If you get triggered by coloured hair, dark people or women in positions of power then move the fuck along. Because studios make games they want to make, which is the heart of the argument given to sjws about lack of existence of anything but fucking white males.

I like her a lot too. Obsidian is trolling us by finally providing actual waifu-bait but doing absolutely nothing with her in a game where a talking fish fucks everything that moves.

 

[Egosphere]

Watching the Za/um stream now. Ziets is more interesting to listen to than watching the game.

The one under potd (veteran?). I understand that PotD should be harder but given my frustration with how PotD affected the gameplay flow in pillars 1I started on Veteran. While not expecting it to be crushingly difficult I had at least hoped i would have to actually keep my eyes open.

I have not done anything but attack-clicking for anything since the fight I wrote about last post. I have not used a single ability. This is fucking story-mode level of difficulty.

 

[FreeKaner]

Sawyer you had one fucking job to make two difficulty levels challenging, 95% of the people will play on normal anyhow.

I pretty much called it.

and they didn't bother doing anything with her. Bizarre.

Chances are if they had bothered they would have made her bisexual too, or maybe a necrophile, "to spice things up, y'know!". That's the main reason I was rooting for her not becoming a companion. I don't have confidence in the writers creating characters which I could like. Actually, by now the only active writing team I can trust is the one behind Witcher 3.

I like her a lot too. Obsidian is trolling us by finally providing actual waifu-bait but doing absolutely nothing with her in a game where a talking fish fucks everything that moves.

If they really are doing it, then that's perfect.

 

[Maculo]

I am pretty sure they just said "Hi Infinitron" on the stream. I had to do a double take.

Her voice actress is also above average. Who's she?

 

[2house2fly]

The game is already falling like a rock on steam top selling page, even dropped on 7th place for a few moments. This is a monumental failure and I think this will be the end of the franchise, at least for a while.

I don't know where you're looking but it's actually risen back up to 4th here: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=win&filter=globaltopsellers

Only the fourth best selling game on Steam in the world? Jesus.

"Character building is better. There are also minor features you might like. Those are covered in trailers.
Combat is as boring as it was.
Writing is even worse than PoE. Voice acting. More LGBTBBQ&KNUCKLES and SJW shit (not too much but it shows)."

"This game reads like chris-chan tier fanfiction, it's fucking mortifying. I couldn't make it more than an hour into the game. Not even worth downloading and installing."

Wow so it is shit. All of the same problems of the first game. Carrie Patel is a awful writer.

Quoting from /v/ is not doing you any service.

Literally who? I've yet to see anyone complain their left-wing game wasn't selling because of dem evil racists and homophobes.

I don't use wireless anything. The LAN icon being crossed out is a known Win 7 gui bug on SP1 without hotfixes/updates.

So it's hentai game after all. To upgrade lewd sword i needed to kill 25 kith, but finishing dialogue triggered after i just butchered some slimes. That can mean only one thing - monstergirls.

When does she become interesting?
I recruited her and she just mumbled something about being an awkward soul sucking vampire.

Come on now, bud. Siege of Dragonspear went through such a public shitshow on similar complaints.
