Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Sherry]

Hi.

Sawyer said:

"You will be able to import your endgame saves from Pillars of Eternity—at the very end of the game, Pillars creates a 'complete' savegame," Sawyer explained. "However, if you don't have a save to import or if you simply want to set your own start states, there will be a cool way for you to do so."

Maybe we could have a Pillars of Eternity file sharing page here where all of us who finished the game can offer our end save game. So someone could play with the choices I made and I could play with the choices someone else made and mix and match different choices for playing Deadfire.

Even a webpage on Obsidian where we could upload our end save game and it reads the data and spits out a personalized webpage of the choices we made if some people cannot remember to refresh how and where our adventure went so we know when Deadfire comes out.

Thanks,
Randal

Graphics have never made a good game.

What's the writing team?

 

[Delterius]

 

[Anthedon]

Risen 2?

 

[AN4RCHID]

The graphics are crazy, the difference between how PoE2 looks and how TToN looks is completely absurd.

Maybe InXile can license the PoE2 engine and convert to that

 

[Merlkir]

Those tweets are not real. :DD Jesus, people...

Risen 2?

It's photoshop obv

In other news, Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling commented PoE2 announcement trailer:

This is the dream! It's confilct, and it's compromise, and it's very very exciting!

What a freakshow. Carrie Patel as narrative designer, that's like hiring a janitor. Dmitri Berman has bright lipstick on his lips and mascara on the eye lashes.

Freakshow.

 

[Rivmusique]

give the player clearer choices, and let them know when they’re approaching consequences for the choices they made.

Worrying. Sounds a bit like "EDER WILL REMEMBER THAT!"

Also, Josh doesn't get that many likes/retweets.

Backed. Naturally. I have the willpower of a crackhead.

I don't like seeing the "stretch goals" teaser. Hopefully they learned something and don't throw in silly bullshit.

Pledged 45.

I'm surprised that Randal is still alive.

Freakshow.

Carrie was a narrative designer on the first game and DLC

No kidding, Gosling commenting would be more believable than the fake tweets. I mean, Risen 2...

1225 backer...

You have my sword. Expectation BG2 equivalent.

Also worth noting is that they will be in black when they will sell 400k copies of the game.
Also FIG INVEST says it will be released only on PC

my thoughts on trailer:

- much improved graphics
- animations are v. good
- liked environments.
- shedules.
- they got rid of Caed Nua. Glad they did. Hope ship or whatever replaces it won't be just sink.
- no talk about gameplay systems but that is understandable (and something for future)

Backed...for now. I was pleasantly surprised by the environments, but I hope we hear more about the gameplay soon.

Party size is reduced to five members? http://venturebeat.com/2017/01/26/p...-obsidians-first-stab-at-crowdfunding-on-fig/

The biggest change from the original is that Deadfire will have a five-character adventuring party. The original had six players, and Obsidian’s 2016 RPG Tyranny had four. How did the designers decide that five is the magic number?

“We’ve been playing with a five-character party for most of development and really like how encounters work with that size,” Urquhart said. I can see how this came about — six characters can be cumbersome, while four can seem … limiting. Five enables for you to cover every major RPG role — tank, damage-dealer, ranged, magic, and healing — while still giving the player room to experiment with character builds.

 

[Perkel]

people showering it with money.
190k in less that 51 minutes.

This thing will be fastest ever funded kickstarter(i know i know).

 

[One-and-a-half-Ivan]

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, if and when the game is developed and commercially released (anticipated Q1 2018).

Freakshow.

Speaking of which, where's that photo from Obsidian's offices with a guy wearing a horse's head? I'm still confused whether that was a joke or there's an actual furry working there making every day an awkward freakshow.

Haha wow, so he wasn't just talking in that Twitch stream.

I sure hope not.

How long do we know they've been working on it already?

Josh Sawyer first referred to Project Louisiana in December 2015.

Always look to a populist to see which way the wind is blowing.
