Game News Chris Avellone and Project Eternity at Rezzed 2013

[Zed]

There is ONE inside wall.

of course. would look silly otherwise. Baldur's Gate is much smaller.

 

[Space Satan]

You people need glasses. Or brain transplants.

Initial circular room design where your party was captured.
And I never said it was a BAD thing.

 

[Liston]

Most harbors, even today, are shaped like that in order to protect docked ships from big waves and tides. PE harbor have breakwaters while BG one is using its geographical location to protect the harbor. That being said they should have thought more about this and make something different even if it isn't authentic.

 

[Darth Roxor]

A FORTIFIED CITY WITH A HARBOUR IS SIMILAR TO ANOTHER FORTIFIED CITY WITH A HARBOUR?

HOLY SHIT!

MCA's portfolio:

A bunch of cancelled RPG's. Shit happens.

 

[Sensuki]

Defiance Bay reminds me of White Harbor from ASoIAF.

Publisher-funded classic CRPGs? Is Ubisoft only the beginning?

Wouldn't be surprised if bitcomposer reached out.

Now with Wasteland 2 design docs

 

[toro]

They had Chris Avellone doing a presentation. But why the hell did they rush the man?

Lame organization.

 

[Lady_Error]

Seriously, do all maps have to look alike now?

 

[Gozma]

It's the Tolkien-map in photoshop look

 

[Bulba]

they look alike?
similar artstile, but the maps are nothing alike, unless of course you think arfica looks like south america

 

[Lancehead]

Well, thankfully, they look nothing alike.

 

[Lady_Error]

You must be blind. In both cases, it's the same half continent surrounded by water on three sides and high mountains in the east. I remember when maps used to have a selection of many different islands (Might & Magic) or a place with a large internal sea (Wizardry 7 & 8) etc.

 

[SCO]

I bet that if i knew more of geography i could find wrong stuff on that map.

I see more mountain ranges than in the east, and they're different in the two maps. The plains, woods, and river networks are also different. By your logic Greenland and Australia look the same because they're both islands.

the second one was made by somebody who doesn't have a clue and has water that would be flowing upwards in some places.

Oh wow, you actually found some minor differences. Good work.

 

[Lancehead]

I don't see how differences in what the maps are actually made of can be considered minor (one of the underpinnings of your claim is that the maps have a mountain range vaguely in the east, but when I point out more mountain ranges, suddenly they became minor details?). Meanwhile your comparison is more superficial than a fleeting glance can provide.

 

[J_C]

There are many factors, which decide if a RPG is good or bad. The shape of a map is not one of them.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Lady error = Drog, stop falling for it ffs

Well, that's a fair point, but I also think that more variation is a good thing.

I don't know what your problem is. Cannot handle discussions?

 

[Arkeus]

Saying two maps that have nothing alike beside being near a coast are 'the same' is trolling. No discussions needed there.

 

[Lady_Error]

The mountain ranges in both maps are actually very similar: a big one in the east, and another one at the coast. In both maps, the green is only between these two mountain ranges. And the overall shape is a half-continent surrounded by water on three sides...

Saying two maps that have nothing alike beside being near a coast are 'the same' is trolling. No discussions needed there.

Yeah, especially considering that nobody said they are 'the same', just very similar.

Josh Sawyer has already stated that the P:E map was blatantly copied from inspired by The Dalelands from Forgotten Realms
