>>376995540
> but Everything else POE did better
No, it really didn't. Everything about PoE was worse. Let's go through it:

>Gameplay
PoE's gameplay is well balanced trash. It's the bare minimum gameplay of an rpg that does absolutely nothing new except taking the Attack of Opportunity mechanic from D&D and making it worse in every way. It also veers into MMO territory by balancing its' classes like it were an online game and making it so that "tanks" can't do any damage if they want to survive in melee and other Holy Trinity trappings. Tyranny, on the other hand, lets you customize your build. Want to play as a fire mage or ice mage? Go ahead. Want to be a tank with a big fucking hammer? Sure thing. Want to sword and spell? It's completely viable.

>Story
PoE fails at the first hurdle by failing to give your character any kind of motivation. You arrive at a place for no given reason, get aids and get attacked by angry natives then stumble onto a ritual. Everything after that is finding out what the ritual did. The story is an excuse for Obsidian to journey you through their OC donut steel world, and the dialogue options reflect that because almost every single one of them is "Tell me more." Meanwhile, in Tyranny you have a clear goal: You're an SS Officer of the God of Evil and you're sent to pacify this rebelling province and most of the game focuses on that. Granted, the ending goes to shit, but it's still better than PoE's ending. The dialogue options are also improved immensely because the game allows you to do several actions and to solve quests in multiple ways. You can be a completely evil bastard as well and the game won't judge you for it.

>Companions
All of PoE's companions are boring and underwritten and they ALL force themselves into your party. I'm not gonna say that Tyranny's are more memorable, but they are aesthetically better, have better backstories and more interesting personalities, and you have a reason for taking them. (Except the furry).

>In Greek mythology, Gaia (/ˈɡeJ.ə/ or /ˈɡaJ.ə/ from Ancient Greek Γαῖα, a poetical form of Γῆ Gē, "land" or "earth"[1]), also spelled Gaea, is the personification of the Earth[2] and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess
>>
>>376996137
>Wrong, Gaia is a goddess and she creates (and is) the world
Gaia is not a goddess in the same sense as the other Greek gods. Gaia is the personification of Earth who gave birth to the titans, who in turn gave birth to the gods. Gaia just came to be on her own out of Chaos.
>>
>>376996137

>None but the abrahamic God have this omipotent meme
It's questionable whether the whole omnipotent, omniscient, etc. thing was even intended by the people who wrote the first scripture. It's a lot more likely that it's something that was interpreted into it by medieval clerics.

She's considered a goddess, according to every website talking about her I can find. She's above the other gods, but she's still a god.
>>
>>376996316
>>376996392
I'm not saying that PoE's gods aren't gods because they don't fit all of those items on the list.

I'm saying they aren't gods because they don't fit a single one of them.
>>
>>376996448
She is not a goddess in the ancient Greek sense of the word. She is not in the same hierarchy as Zeus and the like.

Also she is not really of Greek origin and her cults don't fit in with classic Greek worship.
>>
>>376996448
It depends on how we define god here. The point is that she's a different kind of existence than the actual Greek gods, or the titans for that matter (who could also be classified as some kind of 'god').

In Norse mythology you also had a distinction between Aesir, Vanir, Jötunn, etc.
>>
>>376996495
As someone already pointed out, the Olympians don't fit that definition either, a bunch of other bronze age cults also have gods that don't fit that definition, neither do the Norse gods.
>>
>>376996295
Cont.

>Graphics
PoE looks like complete shit. There's no excuse. You can post zoomed out pictures of an area all you want, but in action, it will always look like shit. Models have low fidelity and look like they're floating above the ground, as if they're not part of the world, and if you don't look at the enviornment in the camera angle they want you to, it looks like pixelated trash. Tyranny has more cartoony graphics, but ironically, it makes it look much better because the artstyle is better. even though the models are just about on the same level of quality.

>Music
PoE's music is complete shit. It's just annoying background noise that fails to generate any kind of atmosphere or capture the game's central theme (Though that might be because the game has no central theme). In Tranny Tyranny, the music does an amazing job at setting up the mood of the game and fitting the area you're in. Compare Tunon's court to anything in PoE.

>Variety
PoE's enemies are boring as shit. Boards, beetles, *teleports behind u* shadows and slimes. The item variety is lacking as well. Unique weapons don't feel unique at all. Tyranny's enemy variety isn't much better, but unlike PoE, the enemies you fight make sense. No spider bullshit, no boars, no random shit they pulled out of the Monster Manual, just godless insurgents that all have unique looks depending on the city-state they're from. The weapon variety is, however, much better and artifact weapons feel powerful and unique because they are. Your party members will as well comment on the acquisition of an artifact.

>Everything else
There's not much else to say that I haven't pointed out, but in general, PoE feels like amateur trash made by a C Team. Tyranny wasn't amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but it was better than Pillars in every aspect, the most important one being STORY and GAMEPLAY.

Regardless, the Greek and Norse gods at least have direct connections with the actual progenitors of the world.

This isn't the case in PoE. They are just magicians that are more powerful than everyone else. They were man-made and are merely constructs. They ain't gods.

Now you're just moving goalposts, anon.

Take a look at Hittite mythology or any of the Mesopotamian cults, you won't find any genealogy trees like those in ancient Greek texts.

Hell, look at the fucking Irish version of the Celtic religion, their gods were just people who arrived in Ireland before them.

Speaking of Celts, they also routinely worshiped trees and the like which had nothing to do with creation, or any of the other points.
>>
>>376996807
All the humans are godmade fiction, anon.
>>
>>376996847
Agreed. I'm really sad that skyward kick and resonance touch aren,t that good.


Resonance shouldn't have to hit, and skyward is using a talent for a 3 sec stun, that's just insulting for a high level talent.


Have you tried the long pain fists?
>>
>>376996951
Then fuck it, let me move the goalposts even further, I don't think those are gods either. At that point the term "God" becomes completely meaningless. If that's all it takes to be a god, then why isn't the average arch mage of Pillars of Eternity a god too? Someone who is able to cheat mortality and is a powerful lich? Sounds like a god to me.
>>
>>376997025
Your perception of the word "god" is colored by your Christian-influenced upbringing and your lack of knowledge of other religions.

Basically, you are wrong, read a book sometime.
>>
>>376997119
You didn't really address my point, though. Why is the average arch mage not a god too?
>>
>>376997147
Because he is not worshiped as one.

A god is a supernatural or natural entity that is held as sacred by a group of people. That's it.

Except that by the game's logic and in its' own universe, they're not real gods. That's why Thaos tried to fucking hide it.
>>
>>376996697
The writing in Tyranny is fucking atrocious. Even if you like the motivation behind the plot better (I certainly don't), half of the dialog in the game is literally "psh, nothing personnel" tier edgewank.

Every character in Tyranny is 1D. Pillars had a handful of great characters (Durance, Grieving Mother, Eder) and some not so great ones (Hiravias) and everything in between.

Tyranny's combat is even more of a fucking mess than PoE's. PoE feels like a natural evolution of BG-esque combat. Tyranny tries something new and fails miserably. The cooldowns feel really awful and slow, Vancian casting, while cheesable, feels a lot better for a game like this. In Tyranny, certain weapons and skills are SO useless that they're not even worth using. Why make anything other than a mage? I can't think of anything.

I'll give you graphics, PoE models are really bad, but your argument for variety is "PoE has all these different monsters, and Tyranny doesn't but it's not supposed to so it's better!"

For the record, I beat PoE twice and didn't even beat Tyranny once.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God

>>376997194
The problem is not the nature of PoE's gods. The problem is that they lied about it, which was why hiding it was necessary.
>>
>>376997224
>Pillars had a handful of great characters
That's where you're wrong. You bitch about Tyranny's characters and writing, yet you praise PoE for doing the same thing but worse in every way. Don't even bother replying to me again.

I always stopped playing PoE after reaching that dead-on-the-tree gypsy or something. Game's kinda boring and the endurance system doesn't help making it a slog. Finished Tyranny, though I do think it's a bit too short. Never bothered getting Nu-men-era because obvious reasons.

It's only Obsidian, and it's because Josh Sawyer hates the current implementation of the Bioware game romance, where you just act nice to them until they fuck you, at which point you've completed the romance.

I agree with him completely, and Pillars was on a tight enough schedule they just left it out. Pillars 2 is confirmed to have romance, though.
>>
>>376997586
She's pretty vague over the exact nature of the gods, but we do know that they're manmade. Either super-powerful priests or some sort of magical construct. If she was wrong, Thaos wouldn't have been so butthurt about it.
>>
>>376997385

>fantasy racism

Sounds good, what game is this?
>>
>>376997586
No

Process was
>Gather a few thousands people around a machine
>activate it, ripping the souls from their body
>Smoosh and tie those souls all together, mold them to be a way by giving them directives

Repeat until you got a pantheon to your liking

The reason for the whole thing was that there was a shitload of religious war back then,always for different gods. When the Engwithian checked for their own gods using their tech (they were the most advanced at the time as far as soul questions go), they saw nothing. So, they wanted to create some to fill the void, force morality and they used their myths for the templates.
>>
>>376997836
There's no fantasy racism in it, actually. PoE is a very safe game, honestly.

>>376997781
>>376997607
the way the sentence is phrased sounds like a deviantart excerpt. I mean, not only are your two options "spare this guy" and "kill him in the super edgy way", but the edgy way is written in this really pathetic fashion

I played both games back to back. Tyranny has more variety in dialogue choices. The only choices in PoE that are not "Tell me more." are binary Yes or No options with the VERY rare background/class option that does nothing most of the time. Also the only time skill checks are useful is for when you climb rocks.
>>
>>376998203
i don't know how i missed arcanum all these years, i'd been searching for a crpg with action point turn based combat since fallout 1/2 for years, and it fit that perfectly

I'm not gonna say that that Tyranny was an amazing game, or great, or even real good, but it's still better than PoE and the novelty as playing as an evil character without having to be a baby-eating monster carried it for me, which is more than PoE did.

>>376998410
>Getting this butthurt that I insulted your Babby's First RPG

Man just fucking kill yourself. There is no roleplaying value in PoE and the story is shit and does not cover for the gameplay being boring. I unironically wanted to leave that country the whole time I was playing and go to any other place in the game's lore because it all sounded more interesting than what I was experiencing.
>>
So riddle me this /v/.
If some ancient civilisation slapped together a few thousand souls and called them gods, why were they worshipping them? Fuck, if I have the knowledge to create such unbelievably powerful creatures then I am the God. I would merge a million souls with my body and rule over the world.

My first character was a Meadowfolk gunslinger Rogue. I stole everything that was marked as stealing, refused to help anyone who couldn't pay me, and when the Gods didn't offer me compensation at the end, I said fugg it and dispersed all the souls so no one could have them.

I thought Thaos was an agent of Woedica, you know, the goddess of justice and rightful revenge.

And if this civilisation just created them, how did they sell the existence of those gods to their own people?
"Hey guys I was running a few equations, turns out there are like 12 gods. Yep, gods are real, better start worshipping them or they'll stab you in the dick in your next life."

And why were they created in the first place? Did someone think it was a good idea creating the god of famine and another one of backstabbing and revolution?

Your own religion says that the tribe of Jews who follow Christ are the actual Chosen Ones. How do you make peace with that?

Thaos know full well woedica is ''fabricated'', his job is that nobody else does. Gods are not really keen on the idea that the plebe humans know they are font of morals.

But he's got a deal, perfect reincarnation and a greath fucking deal of power if he does the job for her. Gods are generally not supposed to act directly outside the framework, 2 of them got btfo by acting directly on behalf of humanity. But Thaos is a ''simple'' human so he can do the work. Woedica cheats and let him keep is massive knowledge and power between incarnation

op is making fun of retarded beamdog fucking athiests shoving athiesm into FAERUN DnD where godbeings are both literal and phsyical manifesting deities that do exist and directly interact with the mortals. Clerics exist, etc.

that character is a fucking moron who by all rights should have been killed by at least ten different faiths before the players even encounter her.

you do know arcane is separate to divine in DnD, right? two completely diametrically oppsed things

God isn't real

>>376995589
no. no they can't.

magical shit does magical shit, divine shit is expressly NOT magical, that's why you don't need to do the vancian casting bullshit MUH ROBES only as a cleric.

the deity is doing the heavy lifting, the cleric's faith and prayer is the conduit the deity channels that power through

Ao makes everything
Ao makes deities to serve specific roles and deleate out his shit because he's so far above 'mortal' he barely grasps wtf it is.

Ao is DnD ktulu-tier OTHERNESS he's so abstracted from the 'reality' the players exist in. the deities are intermediaries for a reason

clearly NONE of you fuckers have ever actually PLAYED DnD.

Since it's the classic uber-god creates lesser gods to do shit for it creation myth.

the only thing MORTALS (since you retards aren't even acknowledging that there are completely distinct and seperate races) have on the Divine beings is because of the Time of Troubles, where Ao got so fed up with the gods bullshit chess games with mortals souls, ignoring their duties, that he kicked off the ToT by LETTING the duumvirate 'steal' the 'tablets of fate' (a plot mc guffin ao created to troll the fucking gods) and temporarily sentencing the gods to mortality etc.

after that crisis was resolved, the newly re-deified gods found their deific might hard limited by the faithfulness and sincerity of their worshippers, thereby limiting the gods to actually DOING their jobs or face fading away into nothingness

Technically, PoE isn't strictly DnD so they can do whatever the fuck they want.

The fuck are you on about?

PoE specifically doesn't take place in any of the DnD settings and doesn't even use DnD game mechanics.

So trying to apply DnD setting rules to PoE is retarded.
