I'm sure it won't be, but I can't wait to see the reasons some people on the Codex won't like it.

"Ugh, the graphics are giving me Pillars of Eternity flashbacks. That camera angle. I can't play this."

"Does there really have to be so much text?"

"This story is banal, try-hard hipster shit. Sorry, this might have impressed me in 1999 but not today."

"It's clear that this is a RTwP engine that's had turn-based combat shoved into it. It feels horrible."

Say what you will about Fargo, the man is quite a shrewd businessman, especially for guy who started career in the 1980s. He manipulates internet hype with an expertise of Sasha Grey manipulating a cock. A lot of companies bomb with their subsequent Kickstarters, but I can easily see InExile making a real stronghold there for the forseeable future.

I'm kinda... Underwhelmed?

Don't get me wrong: it's fucking Torment, it is obvious that I am excited about the possibilities that exist in the game thanks to the setting. But I found the environment somewhat empty, without much detail. In a word, lackluster. Not that this is the most important point of the game in any way, but I think deep down I expected more.

EDIT: Case in point, look at Athelas's post.

Luckily you'll already have an arsenal of strawmen at the ready when that time comes :salute:

Actually, turn-based combat might be a very comfortable fit for the PoE engine. They don't even have to develop their own system of attacks of opportunity.

Clearly, it was preposterous of me to interpret 'looks' and '2d background design' as referring to graphics in the context of a video showcasing graphics. How could I be so foolish.

InXile took some flak for not making the wasteland weird enough, it looks like they took that criticism to heart:bounce:

"Ugh, the graphics are giving me Pillars of Eternity flashbacks. That camera angle. I can't play this." - Nope, only butthurt troll fags will say that.

"Does there really have to be so much text?" - Most of people was bitching about shitty backer stories and characters. Fuck this shit.

"This story is banal, try-hard hipster shit. Sorry, this might have impressed me in 1999 but not today." - Pillars had that problem - They give us setting, preety new, grab our head and push it into that setting yelling 'BUY THAT YOU FAG'. Watcher part of plot was good, but it could be really better. Gods things was fucked up. Characters was written on knee (Only Mother and that Druid guy was very good. I imagine if they would probably left first concept of them, they would be better then most part of the game itself. SECOND ACT SUCK MONKEY TITS. And lady Webb... well fuck. Nice copy of her -> http://marvel.com/universe/Madame_Web )

"It's clear that this is a RTwP engine that's had turn-based combat shoved into it. It feels horrible." - Ha, nope. Again, only butthurt fags will say that about it OR if the fight will be REALLY fucked up, this will be truth. Or people with their opinions.

:retarded:

I occasionally find meself getting excited about read: regret not having backed Torment. But then I remember that it will be a game focusing on story (endless dialogues; linearity) rather than character development, open-worldness and combat.

The setting looks rad, though. If it was more RPG and less adventure game than PS:T I might be interested:philosoraptor:

Nah, there was a lot of criticism about the amount of text in PoE. Of course, it was because it was shitty writing, that took a paragraph to say something that only needed a sentence. There would have be nowhere near as much complaining (on the dex at least), if PoE matched PST not only in amount, but also quality of text.

Also, fucking encyclopedia NPCs.

Well it's clear at this point that 2D art trumps 3D art in low budget games. Wish inXile had somewhat better artists though. I'm not expecting this game to be as beautiful as PoE. Also who was complaining about PoE art? I don't remember that. Most of the complaints seem to be about the boring combat.

The gameplay looked good and the environments seem much more dynamic than PoE.

But that voiceover is cringe worthy.

Please be specific. There are myriad things that could be making you feel that way and I'm curious as to which ones actually are. =)

I personally think that the only real problem with Torment's visual so far are the low quality textures.
Environments look highly creative and interesting - bit it all seems to lack finer detail when compared to PoE.

Looks like Inxile's take on Septera Core using PoE "engine". Not bad, but not great either.
