You know what? Pillars of Eternity is pretty good. You were wrong,

Yeah, it is
Backed the second one

>>379431195
It was shit and I say that as someone who vastly enjoyed other Obsidian games. It was like someone very stupid tried to emulate Baldur's Gate.

It would be good if they made it so there weren't set classes and have it like Skyrim and turned based gameplay. That way it can be on consoles.

>>379431195
It's good, not great. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the world feels uninspiring.

>>379431195
Starting this for the first time.

Any tips on party arrangement

>>379432670
Don't play as a Fighter, a Wizard or a Priest. Get Aloth, Edér and Aloth. Enjoy.

>>379431195
Daily reminder that nu-Obsidian is just a conglomerate of SJW going ape shit over how much "progressive" shit can they throw in their games in order to shame normal people around the world.

>>379432573
It's pretty generic as far as fantasy settings go.

>>379432883
Did you confuse obsidian with bioware?

>>379431195
enemy and resources don't respawn.

enjoy

>>379433720
they're both the same

>>379432883
Are you still upset about that tombstone change? Yeah it was fucking stupid and I'm a bit pissed that Obsidian bent over backwards for a SJW but aside from that they don't really do anything too SJW. Now if they do some bullshit shoehorned gay romance in Pillars 2 that's when we get upset.

>>379431195
My only complaint is that the game rewards you with too much xp for completing quests and it's really easy to become completely OP early on.

>>379433729
Good

So I'm a bit worried Anons. Pillars 2 is going to have romance and anything with romance always attracts the most sjw of sjws. There's gonna be a shitstorm about companions not being bisexual and the lack of only gay ones. It's going to fucking happen and Obsidian is one hundred fucking percent at fault.

>>379434109
Just don't click the fug button and you'll be fine.

>>379434109
I don't think companions need to be bisexual but the protag should always be pansexual, romance elements are the essence of pandering so it might as well extend to everyone.

White March made it pretty good, it was really mediocre back when it was released.

I backed Deadfire hope they continue improving from their learning with WM, it will be a good game if they do so.

>>379434109
>implying autism fuck romances Sawyer will care about their opinion.

>>379432883
Nah

>>379432883
That's pretty covfefe of you to say

>>379432883
>PoE allows me to be the ultimate dick
>SJWish
Congratulations for never playing the game, was getting caught part of your plan memelord?

>>379434109
There's definitely gonna be at least one gay romance, but I trust Sawyer to not turn the game into a SJW fest. I think he succeeded at balancing the act out in games like New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity.

My first rpg on pc eas pool of radiance, i have played dozens since and not finished a single one (i am serious). Should i buy Pillars on gog sale now? Is the xpac worth it for someone that puts roughly 50-100 (autistic completitionist til burnout midway) hours into a game?

>>379435720
The game is pretty great and I recommend it. If you're gonna have the burnout midway, then you don't need to buy the expansion yet. Play the game and if you finish Act 2 and still want to play more, get the expansion and get to it before you go to Act 3.

>>379431195
No it's fucking garbage, i pirated and still felt scammed, combat is pure trash and setting is bland as fuck, all it has for it it's pretentious writting loredumps and even that is subpar.

>>379433290
The souls and reincarnation concept is fairly uncommon. Animancy too.

>>379433993
It's funny that people complain that you don't get XP from some mobs. It was clearly designed that way because if they gave you XP for the amount of trash mobs they had, you'd be level 16 before you were halfway through.

>>379436009
The pirate house loses 10 points for this post.

>>379435291
BUT CAN YOU RAPE PEOPLE OR NOT? THIS IS IMPORTANT!

>>379436061
Yeah, except its never really elaborated how it works exactly and is given way too much focus.

>>379435850
Ill get it without the xpac than, its been interesting me for a while but i had a few other things to not finish until now. Ty.

>MFW I read the novellas and the short stories and the almanac and the encylopedia and all the books in the game
So this is what being a lorefag feels like

>>379436394
It's magic that manipulates souls. What explanation does that need?

>>379436061
Souls and reincarnation are one of the core concepts of Elders Scrolls, mate.

>>379436769
How the fuck does the study lead to the discovery of the gods being fake?

>>379436294
Nope, but there is rape in the game plot if its something for you, filthy degenerate

>>379436856
Yeah, but there hasn't been a good Elder Scrolls game. Pillars of Eternity is better than all Elder Scrolls games combined. I'm not saying this to imply Pillars of Eternity is great

>>379436856
It's not given the autistic spotlight that Pillars gives it.

>>379436901
It leads to the discovery of manipulating souls together, uniting them and creating avatars with immense power whic- wait a minute...

>>379436294

No but you can kill a pregnant lady and her cat

>>379436923
>>379437321
Not good enough

Do y'all think Pillars 2 will have another SJW drama? Like how the first one had that one about the bard.

>>379438208
Probably. Some small interactive quest will trigger somebody and we'll get a million threads about it.

>>379431195
That's not actually /v/'s collective consensus it's just one autist spamming threads about how much he hates obsidian and sawyer and loves anthony burch and bioware

i hear nothing but good things about these newer crpgs, but never played them
which ones should i play first?

>>379436294
Yes, you can force a high price prostitute into sex.
>>379436923
>>379437321
Its like you guys had not even tried to play the game

>>379438494
Pillars of Eternity is a great start

>>379432794

>Not playing a priest and have Durance as a party member

It's like you don't want to break the game

>>379438494
PoE is pretty ok but the world is somewhat bland.

I think Obsidian did a better job with Tyranny but it's it feels like they ran out of time.

Wasteland 2 is great once you get past the first 20 hours (it sounds like a joke, but it's true).

Shadowrun Returns is meh.
Shadowrun Dragonfalls is better.
Shadowrun Hong Kong is ok too.

>>379432883
I think some anons need reminders.
Anyway, people born in the 90s are the wrong, they are full into consumerism, then they speak about identity and diversity (basically fucking trends), in the end they just want more money, how unique.

>>379439169
Whatever, Underrail got less hype and is better than Wasteland 2 Director's cut (reminder the initial release was a fucking mess)

>>379439619
Underrail isn't better than anything, really.

>>379431195
>give any value to /v/ video game taste

LOL

>>379439896
Hahaha, no.

>>379439896
I like it but have a hard time comparing it to other RPGs I like like Pillars and Dragonfall, since they are such different types of games. Underrail is more a dungeon crawler.

>>379440329
Underrail is no more a dungeon crawler than Pillars of Eternity though.

>>379431195
It's okay. Plotwise has the same defect as Baldur's Gate 2 --you know exactly when and how your enemy is going to bone you, but your character is apparently too stupid to take preventive measures--, but apart from that it's worth a go.
