Pillars of Eternity Beta Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Zombra]

It's a scripted interaction done via dialogue and pictures. No animation needed. Lhynn Klarion's comment is a fair one and the answer is because the skill system doesn't allow it.

Fair enough .. I was having a flashback to this same conversation for Wasteland 2 ("Why does only one character push a cart out of a ditch?"), so I assumed that the situation here was identical.

This conversation is so dumb. It's like jewish-housewives-of-Beta-CRPGs

So, a couple weeks ago I asked Josh why Pillars of Eternity wasn't trademarked.

Application Filing Date:
Dec. 17, 2014

Trololololo. Good thing I asked, eh?

Interestingly, they also filed for that trademark as a board game/card game: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=86483172&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch

Well more hilarious stuff would happen when it would be out for half year, and there still will be no trademark.

 

[Kem0sabe]

How inept can management be if they need to be reminded by a fan to trademark the name of their multi million dollar project...

 

[Weirdstuffinspace]

Our multi million project.

So good Obsidian postponed the release!

Windows Build passed QA. Brandon will inform when its ready to go live.

I guess that's it. I'm not at my PC so I don't know how big it is.

And it seems I can't hire an adventurer.

Spoiler

There's a new character called Iovara in the game files that looks like she could possibly be a companion

 

[nikolokolus]

Any impressions on the new build?

 

[Bester]

Still very buggy.

 

[Infinitron]

New male Pale Elf portrait for player characters:

Sensuki I can't find any new companion portrait in the game files this time. I'm afraid they may have done something that causes Disunity to fail to extract stuff. Any luck on your end?

 

[Grotesque]

Still very buggy.

 

[Bester]

Is this a new portrait too?

I don't like this portrait very much. I can't put my finger on it why, but it doesn't click with me. Maybe because the gay stare and smile. I think I will mod in the IWD 2 portraits after release, because I feel similar with most portraits.

That's not a portrait for you to choose from, it's one of the NPCs.

 

[Seari]

Sawyer's death stare freaks me out. He is determined to end all fun.

I like the portrait. Crazy looking elf.

Nah I couldn't find one either, they've also not packaged several of the other companion portraits in this build, only Hiravias and Grieving Mother.

I wouldn't choose that portrait either and yeah it is a gay smile, but it's still a good quality portrait.

No, it is a portrait you choose from, not an NPC. I said I couldn't find an NPC portrait this time.

 

[Merlkir]

The lips are kinda messed up, making it look like a creepy "smile".

 

[roshan]

I can't put my finger on why, but that portrait looks really gay.

 

[Duraframe300]

The portraits in update 87 were drawn by Lindsey Laney. Not sure if this one was as well.
