Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pre-DLC Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Bocha]

I think the sales are good, top sales in steam and gog 3 days before release and 18k players all the time. Top 20 with preorders 1 week ago

18k players all the time

That's a good point, tracking peak players as a proxy for sales kind of sucks but it is a pretty good proxy for how well a game is doing. Maybe it's not Tyranny level bad

 

[Infinitron]

It's clearly doing better than Tyranny, worse than PoE1. How much worse we'll only really know on Sunday.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Either "a rotten pumpkin caved in upon itself", or I just farted. Which might it be?

Agenda pushing my ass.

Xoti's the successor to Zahua

Hopefully just a spiritual one.

I'm glad this game flopped. Tranny 2 with PoE in the name.

Thanks. Key given away! That's one less sale Obsidian were definitely going to make.

Lol. I'll remove the cuck tag if you play this.

Sales may be down because there's supposed to be some big summer sale coming up in a month from now and the shekelodytes need that 10% discount.

The most tedious battle i have had in my life,that fag is just immune to everything and you have to relay on crits.

Oh please. He is not immune to everything.

Also don't be fag posting spoilers.

Yeah,it turned out that it was a bug the first time,on second try i killed him easily. Also sorry for the spoilers,didn't know that mentioning of a guy that dies in a trash fight will hurt your enjoyment of the game.

 

[Mazisky]

In every rpg i always make and play with female main PC, but this time i am afraid about the fact they added romance, don't wanna see Eder or Aloth or whatever asking me to fuck.

What can i do?

did you not kill Concelhaut in PoE1?

 

[Delterius]

Am I the first to point out that he has a "weed" symbol on his forehead, or is this an old thing?

god of peace, love and farmers

 

[Sentinel]

Another one. What the fuck Obsidian? At least let me tell her to stop.

Don't worry they're not interested in girls, you'll only be munching box.

How can he play it if he no longer has a key?

 

[Alienman]

Still no front page for Deadfire on Steam. I wonder if it because they postponed the game for a month, and now Valve don't have an opening for them.

 

[2house2fly]

Infinitron dutifully sends another key, and sensuki gives away that one too. Let's see how long we can spin this out...

 

[Sentinel]

it had one on release day

Deadfire is miles better, game hooks you from the start and won't let go.

But is it because of the writing? Thing that hooks me is the setting and the exploration. There's just so much stuff to do and discover, and a lot of it is genuinely delightful -- the locations, the items, the fights, the sheer variety of everything, plus the way the world feels like it exists on its own terms and not just as a theme park for your benefit (more than in most cRPGs anyway). I can't think of many games since BG2 that have given the feeling that there are secrets to discover behind every door and under every rock. So I'm really digging the worldbuilding and the way it's hooked up to a whole bunch of game systems -- the faction reputations, the impact that has on party relations, and so on.

Conversely, I'm not really that interested in what's up with Eothas, nor have I developed any particularly strong fee-fees (pro or con) for any of the companions. (But then TBH that's the case for BG2 as well -- apart from a few really well-delivered monologues for Irenicus, the writing isn't anything to write home about either.)

My take is that the story+background lore is very compelling, but the delivery is still lacking, mainly because of cringe.

I agree that the background lore is good. Deadfire is a cool place and the conflicts between the trading companies and locals seems to be treated fairly well.

I'm not sold on the main story though. I mean, this statue thing is silly right? And the fact that it's the statue from under your house from that one sidequest in the first game.... why. I don't mind the idea of having a war among the gods plot, tbat could actually be kind of cool, but the way they tied it to the PC just seems weird.

[fantadomat]

But why even use this lense in the first place?

Again, I keep pointing this out, we're not the ones using the lens

But yes OMG Codexers are making such a big deal about this stuff goys!

See, I sympathize with this, but the thing is, right here, right now, the SJWs aren't the ones who are boring me to sleep, you guys are

There's only so many different ways to basically say "This game evokes the general mindset of the liberal millennials who wrote it" before it gets old. Sorry but you do not get a medal from me for noticing the obvious

As it is, anti-SJWs have gotten so paranoid that they're starting to freak out about traditional fantasy kitsch. Like if they went back and watched Xena: Warrior Princess they'd get mad about the strong womyn or something

I cannot afford it.

have fantadomat buy it for you

Almost had a hearth attack when i read this,really nice one mate .


On another note,has anyone else finished a few of the companion's "quests" ? I have finished three and they don't even feel like quests,they are like "go and talk to some then go and to another person...fin". I finished fanatical girl's quest without knowing it. They are truly disappointing.
