I don't recall in Wizard of Oz that Dorothy followed hurricane which destroyed her house nor following a fucking giant which made from adra.Wait, are we playing Sawyer's interpretation of Wizard of Oz?

Except they are powerful and are in no way 'mediocre.'It's a metaphor of real life. Often someone of great authority and prestige turns out to be quite a mediocre guy when you get to see him in person and get an idea about his actual qualities.Gods should be a force of nature,a representation of certain aspect. Not a bunch of retards running around like headless chickens talking about what to do. Only power PoE gods have is the plot power. The whole game they spend talking how they should stop him and in the end did nothing. It is amazing how badly written the whole thing is.

Jokes aside, Josh has established it since the PoE kickstarter that he likes more low-key stories.I agree about "glorious leaders" and their qualities, but we talking about a gods in computer game, there not always metaphors create fan.
No argument against that. Sure, in Greek mythology the Olympians mimic human traits of character, but this is accepted as something normal by the mortals, no one acts like they are falling short of his expectations.Except they are powerful and are in no way 'mediocre.'
"gods bickering" is pretty much the entirety of Greek mythology summed up in 2 words. Hestia grew so tired of their bickering that she gave her throne to Dionysus.

They were moderately epic. Nothing on the level Deadfire has (gigantic god goes around, destroys the whole foundation of the setting and ruins it's cosmology in a twist). Compared to other Forgotten Realms lore, I'd say BG god stuff was almost routine.IMO this is just one more instance where a pereference of his clashes with a defining feature of a neo-IE game, which have always been more on the "epic" side.
The game is currently on second page of global top sellers, while PoE1 is on the first page. This is hilarious.
the studio is now more focused on the whole franchise rather than an individual game.
"Those things help, and then the launch of The Banner Saga 2 drove sales of Banner Saga. If you look at The Banner Saga as a franchise - all the platforms and both the games - it's generating about the same revenue... It's like building a wedge. Banner Saga 3 might sell a third of what Banner Saga 2 did, but it should lift up the other games. That's what we're betting on."
It's possible to make a section on the site where users can upload their .gamedatabundle files, but it will be quite limited in functionality at the start - you would have an upload form and you'd be given a link to your file. Not very useful. I considered doing this, but I thought people would opt for just using nexus for publishing their mods, for its obvious advantages.Still didnt finish the game (70 hours, going to Ashen Maw). As soon as I finish I will start to study the game files and work with mods.
AwesomeButton could be amazing if we could upload our edits to someplace to share with the community. You think this could be possible in SS?
It's fairly limited at the moment, compared to my initial plan. Yet it still allows you to edit a few thousand objects and jump between referenced objects stored in different files, with zero Find and ReplaceThis thing is pointless without search and replace regexp.
I mean, it doesnt even have a filter...
That's something I've been thinking - they'll soon (probably E3 soon), conclude a deal with Paradox where they'll start doing bundles of PoE+Deadfire for like $69-$79 and that's where they'll really start caching in. One game comes practically for free.That's with a mere 25% discount. Good sign for future PoE2 sales.

Yeah, it's sure funny but a very good move when you think about it. Pillars brand had a huge exposure in the media the last few weeks so it makes sense to put first game on a discount and capitalize on the hype. At the end it doesn't matter which one makes them money.

It matters because PoE1 is a merely mediocre game aside from white march. Despite the fact I enjoyed it because of it appealing to some of my personal tastes. Deadfire feels like a much better game at every turn.
I didn't know dragonul was such a die hard fan of poe1

Regarding PoE gods, they are powerful, but do their human follies impact the reverence of mortals?
It's flawed don't get me wrong, but it's better than first game. I also don't mind the short main story because I think Obsidian writers just shit the bed when they want to make major overarching philosophical and theological narratives. New Vegas' main story was short too, especially if you went for House ending, there was what 4 quests total? It was also similarly paced and gated.
It was a small line, but the implications are interesting, especially if they inherited the memories of the animancers that created everything in the first place.It's possible that all Gods inherited the collective memories of Engwithans they come from, and indeed that could be an interesting thing to explore.
-The disgusting amount of bugs
I got a completely different ending in my 2nd playthrough, maybe only the port Maje slides were the same.-The ending is 99% the same, no matter what you do in the game, you can butcher the entire Arhipelago and there's little to no change.
