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

[Harold]

I'm certain Sawyer disapproves. Perfect balance would require a blonde, a brunette, a redhead and a tranny (though the blonde does seem to tick that last box as well)

I think she was the one that drew dicks on MCA's monitor.

Ehhh, can't seem to find it. Might have confused her.

I like how Obsidian felt it necessary to hire booth babes to promote this. Where'd the money come from to pay them? Was it Kickstarter funds, Paradox, or Feargus's own pocket?

Theres now all kinds of Obsidian partys thanks to Shane Defreest.

Speaking of which

Location of the Pillars of Eternity PAX party.

Looks like a freemasons headquarters.

This thread still around? Aces.

You make it sounds like this game is purerly for backers and sorerly paid by backers. Backers are just to get the project going and to be able to make it without publishers meddliing. Well, they will have backers meddling, but we know better :proud:

So obviously they will do advertising.

 

[Infinitron]

All this convention stuff is probably paid by Paradox, I think. I know that Deep Silver arranges all that stuff for Wasteland 2.

 

[Roguey]

Okay one more time.

Nah you were right https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/487362522685526016

Now we see the favoritism inherent in the industry.

I think specifically hiring attractive women to get con-goers to pay attention to your product is ridiculous, s'all.

Possibly. The whole thing is organized by Shane though. Not paradox.

You just couldn't keep pretending you weren't reading this thread, could you Roguey?

I've never read a single post in this thread (other than catching brief glimpses of name-drops through my regular name-searches), nor will I once this discussion is finished.

The joke is that I tried to post this in the other thread and it immediately redirected it to this one.

Well, considering that one of the two is a dude...

For me the entire place is ridculous. I do love that they named the thing "con" though, people should take note.

Irrelevant. The question is does it work?

You're quite mistaken.

Not sure why all of a sudden the questions of the sex I was born has escalated. Personally, I find this question insulting. While I may not be the picture perfect vision on femininity, I LIKE being a tomboy, I would think it fairly obvious what my sex was. Also, if I had gone that far, I would have gotten bigger boobs.

So the short answer is, if you are asking me that question, you are never going to physically find out because asking that question is not attractive. It's like asking me what "makes me a nerd". And no, I'm not sorry that my proverbial dick is larger than yours. If you are that concerned with whether or not I'm trans, I can assure you, I'm not interested in someone so narrow minded.

Totally wish I did have a dick. I'd whip it out in 5 years and teach you all a lesson.

Totally looked like like a ciswoman to me.

Irrelevant. The question is does it work?

Paradox boasted about the long-lines to play the Pillars demo at PAX on twitter. I doubt it would have been significantly shorter without the women there.

doesnt work for attracting corporate types

and "gamers" are even more socially awkward than the people that guy's trying to catch

 

[coffeetable]

that said, where's the pic from? they look a lot more like cosplayers than booth babes, but maybe the line's blurred nowadays idk

Gamescom uses cosplayers, not booth babes, but they're essentially the same thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the IGN chick is doing VO on Eternity too. On her twitter it says aspiring voice actress, and PE will be using those types of actors/actresses due to budget.

It is, and it is also some pretty annoying voice acting.

Was hoping for a black chick

Happy to know I'm not the only person who was disappointed by that.

Since everyone loves stereotypes.
