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

[Parabalus]

Also Infintron just so you know it's better to retardo threads than to put them into GD.

Better to just leave it be,it is 30minutes/2 pages of friendly banter and the thread is back on the rails. No point in cutting it off.


Parabalus do i have to upload the pics again? Still i do agree that the game is around 40-50 hours on average gameplay. I never said that the game is 20 hour on average. I finished it for 28 hours in the save counter,but i played for 60 exploring different quest lines and the reactivity of the game.

You played the game for >>60<< hours and complain about it being too short and having no content?

 

[FreeKaner]

He just couldn't get enough of it. Games feel short when you are having too much fun.

I trust Josh about no content being altered because of VO. People who believe in this conspiracy theory probably don't imagine how much work it can be to cut something. It can take more time than it took to make it, and time is something you are desperately short on.

Josh has said everyone rates content as they make it as either A, B or C. A is essential content that if cut shows something going seriously wrong somewhere; B is middle-of-the-road content that isn't critical, but will be felt if cut or the game will be worse off without it; and C is trivial fluff that is nice to have, but is easily cut without fuss. This means they can cut content more easily than just going through it all and deciding what to cut and what not. Guess which one was it for the companions if their content was indeed cut.

Steam just downloaded 31Mb for Deadfire. Maybe a new beta patch.

Josh knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to stress the conlangs. He did it all for these sweet, sweet Codex memes.

I'm not talking about priorities. I'm talking about dependencies and cases that need to be covered - the case where the player does X, and something relies on something that has been cut, what do we do? This is what makes cutting content difficult. And with companions, especially difficult.

 

[Iskramor]

We didint lose shit by cuting companions content since they are beyond horrrible except serafen and xoti.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Companions could use some cutting in terms of VO and dialogue, the more cringey parts.

I think they can see the interconnected nodes, at least that's what I think having seen how they write the dialogue, so there's no confusion what affects what. This is speculation on my part, though. Unless you mean it's some really convoluted web of consequences, but I'd think that is rare.

It's more complicated than that.

I'm playing as crusader and my paladin part disfavor stoic options. And i have maxed stoic, because there is many times where the only sane option is to stand silent.

Didn’t you realize that battle-hardened warriors with appropriately non-toxic levels of testosterone act like flamboyant girls? What were you thinking?

Kill them all and pick the undead !

Yeah,spamming 1 could get old really fast.

 

[Life of the Party]

If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.

tl;dr lol

It just is. Look in the Chris Avellone thread on cutting companions, he also describes it.

That's a vague hypothetical and assumes the VO decision wasn't made much earlier in development and then revealed as some marketing ploy.

Either way, POEII, Ekera I say, definitely feels like it missed a polishing pass w/r to the writing.

Guys i need your help.

Generically speaking, how do you increase penetration or lower enemy one?
