A combination of the game being better than BG1, but not by a substantial amount, and nostalgia for the IE games.

>>389391978
Huh? what entire world? RPG fanatics mostly find it to be a decent but ultimately overrated cRPG. See rpgcodex for example.

a combination of version 1.0 being shit
and the game not being better than bg2

>>389392560
How do I get into Underrail?
I've tried like 4 times but the game is so hard that I feel I'm doing something wrong.
On my current playthrough I cleaned up all the rathounds no biggie, but I get a quest to go look for some fag in the cave with the psi beatles and they completely rape me. They deal 16 damage everytime they attack and I deal a measly 6 damage, doesn't matter if I use my psi attack, my pistol, my smg, or my knife.

People online say "just get close to them so they use the melee attack which doesnt deal as much damage" but they just run away and use their psi attack anyway.

>>389393056
If you spoke to NPCs in the game you'd already know to get right up in their face, and that they're only vulnerable when their brains are exposed. Attacking them with their shell closed won't do much damage.

Also, general protip: Fire is your strongest weapon against every enemy in the game.

>>389393278
Yes, i talked to them, thing is, they either never expose their brains, or their brains are always exposed and I do shit damage anyway.

>>389392732
If this one random website thinks it's overrated, clearly that's proof most of the world think it's great no?

So I just finished White March part 1 at level 10, should I start part 2 directly?
Also, do you take weapon focus on your characters?

>>389392560

>>389393364
What kind of build are you using?
If you have no idea I think it's worth it to look up a quick build so you at least have the basics down, the game can be pretty much impossible if you do things like take the psi pill on a non psi build or level multiple weapon stats.

>>389393558
Clearly that's how it works for Obshitters or they'd never able to call any of their games good.

People wanted something as good as BG2 in every way and better in some. Instead they got something better than BG1 but not as good as BG2. If you went in expecting something of NWN2's qualify, you'd probably be presently surprised.

>>389394141
Why would you play it if you expect nwn2 "quality"?

>>389393364
Are you legally blind, by chance? I found a screenshot on Google for you. See the top most and bottom most beetle? That's when they have their brains exposed, hence the shell being open and a wrinkly brain being visible. That's the best time to attack. The other beetles in this screen have their shells closed and therefore have a very high resistance to mechanical damage.

>>389394037
7 in Wisdom and INT
6 Strength
4 Agility
5 Dex
5 Con
dont remember the other stat

>>389394141
So can we expect Deadfire to be the MotB of PoE then? Following the NWN2 analogy.

>>389394141
Please tell me how PoE is worse than BG2. I played both games, recently mind you so I don't have nostalgia for BG2, and while I think the story and main villain are much weaker in PoE, I thought the rest of the game was better. Aside from the exhausting amount of trash mobs in POE that is. One aspect I particularly enjoyed over BG2 was the amount of proper roleplaying based on your character in PoE, the Baldur's Gate series is severely lacking in that department.

Had this in my backlog for a while, starting it RIGHT NOW. What stats should I build for a Ranged guns Cypher? Also, what is closer to BG's default difficulty, Hard or Normal?

>>389392560
Original Sin should be much higher, it has the most fun combat of any CRPG I've ever played.

>>389394251
NWN2 still sold well, probably over a million copies, so a lot of people seem pretty satisfied with it. It didn't set the world on fire, but lots of people will buy a decent but not great game.

>>389394337
Maybe. There are lots of improvements at least, like actually having kits and multiclasses, a better world map and the like. And le balance man is back to his New Vegas role, which got some of the best work out of the writers under ihm. Still not happy they're reducing the party size to 5 though.

>>389394520
IMO Faerun as it's depicted is a more interesting setting than Eora as it is in PoE1. It's a larger game with a grander scope, and more party members. I think a lot of people prefer having clean-cut good and evil party members, rather than PoE's version where everyone is neutral at worst, though with generally more in-depth characterization. Itemization was much better in BG2, though that gap is significantly narrowed with White March actually adding interesting weapons. The environments and areas are more exotic in BG2. A lot of people really disliked PoE's engagement system.

Roleplaying is massively worse, as well as choices when leveling up (fighters literally just choosing weapon pips and nothing else is dull.)

I replayed the game so I could fulfill my autistic need to be a mega powerful wizard who obliterates anyone in his way. Except wizards in this game are pussies and all the spells feel like shit.


So whats a game where i can play an uber wizard

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it so many times. I agree that it's visually pretty and the world feels authentic but for the life of me I can't manage to will myself to play more than 3 hours until getting bored. The lore feels really dry imo, like it's delivery is polished but feels uninspiring. When I play I feel like I instantly recognize all these fantasy tropes and I don't expect any surprise or wonder anymore, it's just tiring. Even the music is mostly unmemorable. Combat feels like a cluster fuck, Eder is at the front of my formation as he should be and I pause to give everyone commands before pressing play but it's so disappointing to see my party make this retarded pathing and then they get engaged by another enemy they weren't supposed to and it just feels like a clunky mess. I enjoyed combat in games like KOTOR1&2 and NWN1&2 but, Lord Almighty, POE just feels so robotic compared to those games.

>>389395197

Dragon Age: Origins

>>389391978
Because it was absolutely fucking TERRIBLE on launch.
And even right now after all the patches and expansion it still requires IE Mod to be playable.

>>389394329
>>389395208
Yeah I just realized your stats are abysmal too. Why a high Wisdom score if you aren't using Psi? Why a low Dex and (assuming) Per if you want to use guns? Your Agility is awful too so no wonder you can't catch up to beetles when they run.

>>389395135
>though that gap is significantly narrowed with White March actually adding interesting weapons.
Not really, you basically outfit everyone with the overpowered as fuck Soulbound weapons and don't use anything else because the best items in the game are still vastly overshadowed by maxed Soulbound ones.

>>389395197
Gothic 1 and 2 (mind you start as a MASSIVE scrub in those and can't even use magic until many hours into the game, but by the endgame you're a literal walking demigod raining down fire on whole swathes of battlefield)

Dragon Age Origins
KotOR 1 and 2
Baldur's Gate 2
Icewind Dale 1 and 2

>>389393668
Yeah, go straight for White March Part 2. Do Concelhauts Questline first if you want to get challenged.

>>389396002
Not really, Soulbound are actually pretty trash compared to some fully enchanted unique, especially if you enhance them with Durga steel

>>389395471
>Eder is at the front of my formation as he should be and I pause to give everyone commands before pressing play but it's so disappointing to see my party make this retarded pathing and then they get engaged by another enemy they weren't supposed to and it just feels like a clunky mess.
Get IE Mod and turn off Engagement.
Engagement is the single most cancerous mechanic in Pillars. You can tweak A LOT of shit with IE Mod, including turning off all the OC donut steel NPCs from Kikescammer, having Infinity Engine-like colored rings for characters, turn off the awful Engagement mechanics and more. I can't imagine playing Pillars without it.

>>389391978
>Why does Pillars of Eternity get so much undeserved shit from /v/?

Honestly you can change it to any game and ask the same question

>>389395931
What? But I am using psi, it just deals shit damage to these enemies as well (6)

>>389396275
You can enhance Soulbound shit as well anon, including Durgan steel.
You do it at the start BEFORE binding them, since then they still have crafting slots open on them.
After that, you bind them and unlock their shit, you get all the new shit but keep the enchants you had before, so in crafting window your maxed soulbound items show like 40/14 for amount of crafting points worth of enchantments on them.
They're absolutely overpowered and broken, rendering anything non-SB worthless.

>>389396642
Sounds like a bug desu

>>389392723
I personally like BG1 more.
PoE got a nasty vibe and BG1 is faster/snappier.

>turn-based

>>389396718
They actually said it isn't a bug, and haven't patched it in any single patch so far because durr, it isn't a bug.
Soulbound items start weak, hence why they still have crafting points open on them.
After you start unlocking them, their exclusive enchants show up and take up the crafting points, but you can exceed the total limit by enchanting the shit out of them first in crafting to the max (well, as much as you can with the points still left free in their base state) and then binding and unlocking them, giving you combination of both.
Also if you're smart, you know not to invest in the "Quality" enhancements since Soulbound shit all gets Mythic quality by default from maxing them, so you just grab the other enhancements like Kith Slaying and Lashes.
Shit is broken if you know how to powergame.

>>389391978
because it doesn't measure up to BG2

>>389392560
found the sape

>>389396980
Thing about that is, tired-bored-student, turn based is actually good. It CAN be bad if done poorly, but RTwP can never be more than mediocre.

>>389394520
Not him but a thing Baldur's Gate 2 has over PoE is the incredible amount and variety of content. It feels like a very big and dense adventure.

t. Someone that prefers PoE to BG 1 and the entire Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights series.

>>389397000
>They actually said it isn't a bug
Got a source for that friend?

>>389391978
I don't hate it. I just thought it was very dry and uninteresting, and the combat was a bit too pause heavy, it worked in games like Neverwinter Nights and DA:O because those games are slow and you don't generally need to pause all that much, but when you are already pausing every "round" you might as well just make it turn based so you can make it engaging.

And the writing was just weird as well, hard to describe it but it just felt off, it was never able to properly engage me because I was never once felt like I was taking part in the narrative, just reading weird text.

>>389397127
Thing about that is, retard, turn based is extremely vulnerable and exposed to two things:
1) shit encounter design
2) shit encounter pacing

RTwP allows for tactical depth while eliminating a large portion of those two vulnerabilities. I was able to play through PoE 1.0 because RTwP just made the trash encounters go by so fast I barely noticed them. If it had been a turn-based game, I would have dropped it immediately.

In Divinity Original Sin, the game has terrible encounter pacing, and some pretty fucking awful encounter design in the goblin village. In 4 attempts at playing through the game, I never got past that because I get so bored of fighting 10 goblins every 5m that I drop the game.

As a third and final note, literally every single cRPG in existence (and recent ones too) are turn-based. What's your problem with there being 1 (ONE) real-time with pause game? If you really wanted to play Pillars, the combat system probably wouldn't bother you that much, so why are you here just shitposting?

>>389396481
I can't stay around to help but I'll leave you with this:
https://youtu.be/cxG64b5SH_o
This guy makes generally good builds, watch some videos and see what appeals to you.

>>389397397
I never said anything about Divinity though, silly goose. Also what kind of tactical depth is pause, click ability, unpause. The strategy is puddle deep.

>>389397579
You didn't say anything about Divinity but, based retard, Divinity is the most recent turn based game that I played, and an example of a game that I dropped due to sheer boredom caused by shit encounters, which I felt were issues deeply aggravated by the turn based combat.

Regarding your description of RTwP combat, I'm not going to reply seriously unless you put in some effort of actually criticizing the system. Check this out, I can do the same for turn-based systems:
>What kind of tactical depth is auto-pause, click ability, watch AI turns pass, and repeat?
Have a nice day anon.

>>389391978
Meh combat, meh story, meh writing, meh world, meh graphics. Meh game.

>>389397473
Thanks. I guess I'll try it, but I really hate having to resort to guides to even make it past a section of a game. I don't even think my stats are that awful. I got past Fallout with a very average build. Do you actually need to minmax to get past the game or something?

>>389397781
If I'm pausing every round, why not just make the whole thing turned based? Seems silly to me.

>>389391978
People expected baldurs gate 3 but instead got what felt like a 6-7/10 clone

>>389396345
t. casual

>>389397964
As I said earlier, because RTwP makes it go by faster without having to wait around for everyone to take an action. Also you do not need to pause every game round, that is false.
But if that is your issue, both BG and Pillars of Eternity have auto pause options so you don't have to manually pause.

>>389397893
> I don't even think my stats are that awful. I got past Fallout with a very average build. Do you actually need to minmax to get past the game or something?
They're awful because you tried making a jack of all trades character in a game that doesn't allow them. You don't have to completely minmix but your character needs to have a clear focus to obtain the proper feats and whatnot.

>>389396481
Not him, but your stats don't show any kind of focus. If you want to be primarily a psi, you really should get your Will up to the high numbers, preferably 10. It is the governing stat of your primary skills, and if you keep it mediocre your psi abilities will almost universally suffer for it. Damage will be lower, enemies will shrug off your debuffs more often, and so on.

As for dealing with the beetles, your damage this early is still going to be low either way, so dealing with groups is tricky. When they are alone you should hit with Telekinetic Punch to get a free turn when they are stunned, or use Cryokinesis which has a very long range, kite, then move back. The Chill effect will reduce their movement, and since the range of Neural Overload is only half of Cyrokinesis' you can use this to keep their attacks to a minimum.

When they are in a group, you'll be for the time being better off throwing a grenade. Buy one, preferably molotov, he, or frag, start combat with them, then toss up a Force Field. Once it goes away and they are all gathered around you in a group, toss the grenade.

>>389396345
?
Engagement is literally one of the best mechanics in D&D 5E and it was great in POE as well.
Get fucked you kiting faggot.

>>389397174
I'm not going to dig through Pillars forums for you just to find one off-hand comment by devs. If you can't use basic logic to realize that after fuckton of patches including another major engine overhaul (from 2.0 to 3.0) then sorry mate.

>>389398035

>>389397397
>>389397781
Funnily enough Divinity is one of the few games where I didn't mind the bad pacing because I enjoyed the combat so much.

Speaking just from a mechanics perspective, are there any other systems that surpasses it? You can just play around with it so much and do so much crazy shit. Maybe one of those military games like Jagged Alliance or Silent Storm?

>>389399381
The expansion isn't even connected to the main game and you go there only because one literally-who NPC mentions it.
Just like the Icewind Dale 1 expansion, which while great, was horribly implemented and felt completely disconnected from the main game in every way.
In fact if I were to compare White March to anything, it's literally just Heart of Winter complete with Trials of Luremaster (in form of the Concelhaut questline that's in Dyrwood and not in White March) and the big bad ultimate boss of the expansion being a fucking ice dragon.

Nah. But your chosen combat skill is your best friend, and your build should reflect that. You don't have to go all the way with 16 in its stat, but don't ignore it either or you'll miss out on the good stuff. Pic very much related.

>>389403838
You should consider that neither Dragonfall nor Hong Kong were full-price titles. They're not as elaborate and "cheap" because they literally are cheap.
However, despite that, they managed to deliver a solid RPG. Both titles have quite okay combat (by RPG standards, where some of the best RPGs have abysmal combat), they have party NPCs that react to player choice and environment, they have skill-checks in the dialogue providing alternate solutions and they involve the occasional choice.
They are not "great" but they do everything you'd expect an RPG to do and in that regard they surpass a lot of RPGs that may be better in one aspect or another but completely fail in others.

>>389391978
The "entire world" which doesn't play CRPGs likes it because they fell for the hype and wouldn't want to regret their purchase.

You're retarded.
The point was to emulate the look of the Infinity Engine games (BG2, Planescape, Icewind Dale). Not only that, it looks great and runs better than if it was all rendered in 3D.

If you're telling me that this looks bad, then you're brain damaged.

>the low res char models were because of Unity 4's shit rendering engine that made it impossible to do 3D shit

The models are much better in PoE2.

Jesus Christ, I can't fucking wait for PoE 2.

>>389406243
I know. PoE2 is Unity 5 though. version 5 of unity is no longer a mobile-centered engine.

I sure as fuck hope they didn't waste most of their budget on these animations.

>>389407645
That's only an idle animation so I sure as hell hope not.

Pretty alright guy when he is not being an insufferable Obsidian shill tho. Funny thing is, I'm not sure he even played the game. Never heard him talk about it, only copypasting marketing materials and related forum posts.

>>389404870
Damn thats vicious.
He's right about encounter design, its like they forgot it existed.

Deadfire is gonna be sweet

>>389404870
I have to agree with his opinion that the combat was boring. I haven't played Baldur's Gate but PoE was nothing but trash encounters that meant absolutely nothing.

I'm gonna miss Durance and Zahua

I just visited RPGCodex and holy fuck, how do you manage to eat so much cock? they were multiple people unironically defending Cleve/Grimoire and were getting lots of agrees.

>>389412884
The Cleve cult of personality is pathetic

>>389392560
Grimoire is decent tho

>>389413484

>I haven't played Baldur's Gate but PoE was nothing but trash encounters that meant absolutely nothing.
Infinity engine has makes for some pretty good encounters. For example there's a demon you encounter in BG2. Here is what I had to do to beat it:
>demon flies out of a giant crater when it is inspected
>have to position casters/ranged in outer hallway so they don't get raped
>immune to magic, hits like truck, paralyzes on hit, casts aoe fear
>have to figure out i need to use bless to buff up my weapon quality to even hit it with melee
>have to use a spell to protect against his magic
>have druid/mage summon armies of various stuff to tank the paralyzes
>haste up blessed fighter for maximum damage
>have him charge in at exactly the right moment
>keep summoning stuff in waves to tank hits
Has quite a few neat fights like that where you have puzzle out the correct spells and positioning. There's plenty of trash fights, which is admittedly kind of bad in BG1, but in BG2 they are kind of fun since you have pretty much ascending to godhood and rip shit to shreds. IWD 1/2 really pushes it to the limit.

>codex is just /v/
maybe years ago, /v/ is overrun by autistic 12 year old ironic weebs that only want to talk about nintendo games

>>389396642
stop lying

I don't remember a single fun wizard fight in poe

>>389415386

>Not having fun against Concealhaut

someone hates spooky

>>389416015
>having fun
time for a balance patch, can't let anyone have fun in PoE

>>389416015
I never got around to playing white march

None of these games lets you rape anyway.

>>389418384
isnt there a quest in PoE where you free a whore being assaulted and can get free sex from her?

>>389418901
I want to forcefully penetrate bitches without consent. Nigga, what don't you understand about rape? Fuck.

>>389419223
well I'm not a roody poo so my understanding isn't very deep

>>389418384
that is what the game needed to not be bad

yes
