What went wrong? Why would they ruin such a promising game with terrible "lol so funny" writing, cartoony visuals and unfitting ost?
At least plot and ost in the sequel will be fixed
>>332637658
Because you're a fucking moron who hasn't played the other games in the series?
good question
kiddynity original shit was only acceptable because of easy, casual combat system while the pillars of maturity had better visuals, story, lore, characters, music etc.
But don't worry anon, i'm pleased to announce that dos 2 is already more mature thanks to our god and savior Chris Avellone and the fact that even that turbo sjw worrior Swen said that the words of truth
mature provoking themes are required for a good rpg game

Larian Studios hails from a videogame era where three things were synonymous with games: horror, tits, and comedy.
But they're Belgians, so what can you do.

>"lol so funny" writing
It's just a style of writing. Baldurs Gate is considered to be a series with amazing writing, yet it's much goofier. You need to recognize that the jokes and the serious writing is seperate. Lighthearted humour doesn't mean you can't have a serious story going on at the same time, which this game does.

They're certainly not gritty, but they're fairly realistic. It's just a little stylized, but it's colorful and beautiful. Pic related.
I don't know why you would think this game is ruined in any way. The worst aspect of it was netcode, but even that was a minor issue. It's probably among the best 5 games I've played yet and it's baffling to me that you could be taking a huge issue with the things you've listed. Very excited for 2.

Overall 7.5/10 (which is still pretty great) but could have been a lot better if they hadn't purposely obfuscated so many mechanics and quests. Unfortunately, you're literally required to do a huge portion of these quests in order to level up and to get enough bloodstones.

>>Way too long
So quit playing it. I don't get the complaint.
>>due to the way the enemy levels work, there is only one main path to follow otherwise you'll be facing enemies too high or too low of level
Which can be fun and I did exactly that. It's nice to be rewarded for doing higher level areas first.
>>literally impossible to figure out what the fuck you're supposed to be doing for these long quests without reading a wikia constantly (no map markers + useless information in log)
Literally did it without a wikia. You're just shit. Read the dialogue and read important letters.
>>Quests are much too convoluted
What does this mean in practice? Would you rather the quests are all
>go kill 5 dickwolves
instead? The quests were very well integrated in the story.
>> I just started skipping dialogue halfway through
Oh there's why you think quests are convoluted and impossible to figure out. What a retard.
>>Stealth + pickpocketing is way overpowered and allows you to literally get 50k+ gold with no effort and completely ruins the balance of the game
Not really. It's perfectly balanced because you need a high skill in it to steal a lot, which will make you worse in combat.
>>too much focus on out of combat builds rather than skills in combat
Again, maybe because that's just what you went for. You did it to yourself by going with a pickpocket build rather than a combat build. What the fuck do you expect, doing everything at once?
>>CC is way overpowered and makes the game a joke.
Not really. CC is balanced to be strong early, where warriors are rather weak. As the game goes on, this reverses with mage classes taking more of a support position with CC that is now less useful on its own.
The rest is fair enough but what the fuck. You're saying you didn't get the quests and that they're too complicated, then you admit that you skipped all dialogue. Why?
>>332643196

Everyone is missing the best part about Divinity: OS
Drop-in couch co-op.
The game is meant to be played with two people, it's the only satisfying way to finish the game, even though the gameplay is fun as fuck and I liked the art and writing.

>>332637658
Divinity series and Larian's writing in general has always been like that.
You'd know that if you weren't 12 years old.
>>332644345
Still butthurt?
It's not superior, it's a viable alternative.
You're the one who came in and shouted
>IT'S SHIT BECAUSE IT'S NOT GRIMDARK
plus the sequel still won't be grimdark, it'll still be a divinity game by larian. I don't know where you're getting that from
>>332637658
I could not finish Pillars of Eternity, I tried several times but I find it boring, boring world, boring characters, boring story. I played it for 35h and made it to the end of act 1.
Then I played Shadowrun Dragonfall, it seems like a fantastic game but I find it too slow and clunky.
Those were the first two games I didn't finish in a long time. I thought I couldn't enjoy this type of game anymore.
But it took me 96h to finish Original Sin and it was 96 hours of fun.

This is what the quests are more like. And that's even one of the more straightforward examples.

The only time I didn't have fun playing D:OS was when I was stuck on a bad puzzle, during the stealth segment in the mines, and where to get into the final dungeon I had to mine out rocks by ctrl+clicking them with Tenebrium weapons and repairing my weapons for 5 minutes straight.

Do a quest like Hershel's whiskey or Archibald King of Trolls and it's some of the most convoluted shit. Neither the dialogue nor the log offers any useful information and you need to do like 10 specific things in a specific order.
>>332644443

I hear a large part of the issues the game has were introduced late during beta, i.e. they seem to have been pressured in some way.

It fucking tells you the ship sunk in front of the coast with the lighthouse. In the fucking lighthouse is a fucking ghost that tells you how he sunk a ship (the ship sam was on) out of envy. It fucking tells you there are many caves at the fucking coasts and the orc's are looking for something inside there.
I don't see the problem except your stupidity.
>>332644989
He already admitted that he flat out skipped dialogue, don't bother
What he's actually asking for is questmarkers
>>332644691
Maybe I became one. I loved these type of games in the 90s.
That said I don't think a casual could play a cRPG for 96h and I saw a lot of people drop the game during the first city quests because it was to long or just after when they got killed by everything.
>>332644597
> I skipped dialogue then complain on an anonymous imageboard that the game didn't explain the quest properly
Please stop wasting valuable oxygen

>>332644809
You mean the troll quest where you later in-game have to walk by a cave with a glowing circle of mushrooms infront? Where inside is a troll-statue and black gold? Where a book is laying around telling you that a certain mage has found a way to enter the troll kings cave?
Yeah that was complex shit, mate.

>>332642796
I didn't think the game was very difficult to follow but I absolutely agree that although the game wasn't technically linear, it was linear in practice. I realized after Act I of my second playthrough and doing it all again sucked cause I had no choice but to do parts I didn't particularly care for or suffer from being underleveled. Overall, it was a really fun game, but I just can't replay it

Naw, it was literally an image made before the game existed.
And in the game, that image is part of a cut scene early on, where the camera pans after you exit the tutorial cave and you see some people being sacrificed.
And it looks worse ingame than in that image.

How simple do you have yo be to turn a concept like "has silly writing" to "every game in the world with any moments of comic relief is the same exact thing".
I mean I know you people mainly play vidya so it's not like you're well equipped to recognize what makes writing in a video game actually add to an experience rather than just "filling in space" but come the fuck on, even shit tier BG writing doesn't deserve to be dragged through the mud with dos.

>orc librarian who literally hasn't done anything wrong and sells me rare blank elemental scrolls
I wonder.
>>332645568
yes, and?
pillars is still gorgeous looking in game
what's your problem buddy?
>>332646109
I described an event.
You expressed disbelief.
I argued myself right.
You are now asking me "so what?".
I don't get where you are going with this. So what?
>>332645675
No. It's a believably dark setting with humor that is consistent in tone with the rest of the writing. Also Minsc was a crazy barbarian who was played completely seriously and doesn't conflict with the setting or tone at all.
>the only thing he mentions is the most iconic party member
How about actually playing the game.
>>332645778
>Baldurs Gate is almost exclusively made up of goofy silly people.
An outright false statement.
And we're talking about os, not the whole series.
>>332645620
I told the elf I will side with him, I told the orc about the plot, she gave me her medallion and I lied to the elf that the deed is done.
Sheep is whole and the wolf is happy.
>>332646183
because you're full of shit
>>332644493
Pretty much sums me up exactly, though I think I got to the end of act 2/beginning of 3 for PoE. I liked Durance, asylum and the messed up city area due to the machine on the roof of that tower, but that's about it.
I liked most of Original Sin. It was fun.
rate my team
>>332646251
Other than a few companions and most main quest people, every single NPC in baldurs gate serves as some form of comic relief in some form or other.
Be it obvious stuff like a guy who got turned into a chicken, a guy who summons an exploding troll, pickpockets who fuck with you repeatedly, characters that call you knobgoblins, or more subtle things like NPC greetings like "don't poke me, I'm very important", it's absolutely full to the brim with silly stuff.
And that's not a bad thing, you're just making it one because you're too young to remember any games that aren't skyrim or the witcher.
>>332645494
Only if they can give me a new boner as a FtM
>>332646526
>And that's not a bad thing
yes it is
>>332646497
You probably want to take a point in pyromancy or witchcraft for the selfbuffs and debuffs on your ranger.
>>332646251

Nigger have you ever played Baldurs Gate?

>A glove? Only one? What is you, a rock star?
>Well, it's been so much easier since I discovered all the Slayer really wants is a sandwich.
Wooooo, dark and serious setting, or mature and adult gamers such as myself.
Nevermind the space hamster mind controlling a flesh golem.
>>332646647
Why?
>>332646690
I hate this so much
>>332646308
What exactly did I write which you find wrong?
The image which was posted in earlier threads was indeed an enhanced image prepared as marketing material since before the engine for the game was even complete.
>>332646759
It's not cool, and I only play cool games for cool gamers such myself.
>>332646759
immersion breaker, offends the player, mouthbreathers type of humor etc.
I could go on and on
>>332646783
Aw, kiddie cant handle a mature adult dark serious game? Go play Super Mario, child. Grown ups are talking here.

I'm sure you could.

Can you elaborate how humour breaks immersion unless it's 4th wall breaking of course?

Can you elaborate on how humour offends you?
>mouthbreathers type of humor
Can you elaborate on this?
>I could go on and on
I'd rather you elaborated on the things you said. You're just throwing statements out there that make little sense.
>>332646805
post the enhanced image
btw your hate boner for poe is mind numbing
>>332644216
so basically DOS then? since a good game isn't much use if it isn't fun and all
>>332646526
See, you're ignoring something here. BG is "consistent with regards to the setting and tone". The comic relief exists, yes. This is an amazing argument you're making but if you'll learn to read you'll see I wasn't denying this.
>>332646690
>he l thinks minsc literally has a space hamster
Holy fuck. You're actually too stupid for BG writing. This is pretty intense.
>>332645268
>those VR parts
Heh. Would make some funny webms.
>>332637658
My biggest problem was having to have "pick-your-dialogue" conversations with myself.
>>332647231
I like Pillars of Eternity though. I backed it on Kickstarter and I was defending it during its initial hate stage on /v/, before the stats rebalance.
I am just not a drone who hates everything else. Original Sin does look better overall, even if in some screenshots the environment of PoE is great.
When there are trees or grass its ugly, and the models are bad, and poorly animated. Particle effects arent too impressive either.
This isnt an issue for me, but people claiming PoE looks better than DOS is.
tl;dr dont be a drone, enjoy video games.
>>332647275
Yes.

Hey I just finished Divine Divinity like 10 seconds ago.
Had its problems but I enjoyed it.
Okay it did piss me off that the Warrior/Barbarian didn't have a final tier sprite getup, so you just had this random giant great helmet on your fucking brown plate with your itty bitty hands.
IT BOTHERED ME.
>>332647327
>he actually doesnt get jokes
Holy fuck. You're actually too stupid for humor. This is pretty intense.
>>332647342
Because you didn't chose a personality AI for your characters?
>>332645145
Fuck that piece of shit Anna knock off!
>>332647342
Why did you play a co-op game with yourself? You can pick an AI for the second character.
>>332647327
>BG is "consistent with regards to the setting and tone". The comic relief exists, yes.
BG is consistently silly with serious tones in the main storyline. Divinity games are consistently serious with comic relief all over.
It's a subtle difference that you're denying and getting butthurt about. Calm down and think about your next post.
>>332647181
>Can you elaborate how humour breaks immersion unless it's 4th wall breaking of course?
>don't poke me, I'm very important
fine example of ainstant dealbreaker
Bad humor is always an immersion breaker making the games like bg and divinity unplayable
>Can you elaborate on how humour offends you?
it's an insult to my intelligence
>Can you elaborate on this?
I'm done with you
>>332647905
The first time I see literal autism posted live.
>>332647905
>fine example of ainstant dealbreaker
Because it's 4th wall breaking. Isn't that what I just said? I agree that 4th wall breaking humor is immersion breaking, I'm not denying that or trying to say it doesn't matter.
I'm just curious as to why you think all humor is immersion breaking. You might not think Minsc and his giant miniature hamster are funny, ok. But how does it break your immersion? You just don't find it funny. It's your right. You don't like that SPECIFIC humor, but that has got nothing to do with humor inherently.
>it's an insult to my intelligence
Elaborate, please. Don't just make more vague statements.
>I'm done with you
Ok, turns out you stop playing as soon as you're asked to explain yourself. Maybe you should not post to begin with.
>>332647905
Oh, wow. So you really are just a kid.

I'm sure you could atleast try to explain your position if it had any merit.
It doesn't, though. You're full of shit, you faggot. You're talking out of your ass and you take your personal taste for fact.
>>332649041
I cant find that exact image which was posted yesterday in a thread, meaning everything I wrote thusfar in the thread isn't true?
When you exit the tutorial level the game pauses, the camera pans and you see a short cut scene where several characters are sacrificed.
This was part of the beta too, it is a part of the game that was extremely polished to look amazing.
That particular screenshot which was being posted was part of a marketing campaign, so it was even higher resolution, not in any way compressed and it looked even better.
That is what was being posted. The game at its very best, better than it actually looks in play, and better than how most parts of it look.
The cave before that moment looked much worse. The grass before you enter the cave looked much, much worse.
If you have played the game, you would be aware of this. The outdoors of ruins and temples, statues and such look great. Small springs and waterfalls look great. Dirt and grass and such look like shit.
I dont know why you continue to post as if the rest of the people in the thread havent played PoE. We all have, at least the leaked beta, probably the full game as well.
Why obsidian fans so angry and insecure lately?

It's only one person, he is just on 4chan at the same time periods as me (and probably you) and frequents the same kinds of threads (cRPG).
You can clearly stereotype him, and I imagine you've been there yourself - you want everything to be grim and dark, all the characters to be selvish backstabbers, all the evil guys to be relatable and "did nothing wrong", all the heroes to be knights in sour armor, cynical about having to do good, etc.
The kind of person who if he were a movie fan would say Fight Club is the best movie ever, if he were into music would call you a pleb for liking Beatles or Queen. The kind of person who will tell you The First Law is better than Lord of the Rings, or that The Witcher novels are better than the short stories.
The kind of person who in his effort to appear as grownup and as mature as possible ends up looking childish.
>>332649702

Yes
Tyranny looks like another poor written garbage made by meme developer
Tides of Numenera can be fun because director is person who actually knows how to make rpg and not just write plot

Okay, enough trying to be smart with spoiler tags, apparently 4chan wordfilters some of my posts and ruins them.
Yes, I am hyped for them. Shame they will be carbon copies of their inspiration games.
>>332650302
It looks EXACTLY like Pillars of Eternity. It is nothing like Overlord.

No, because it's made by trustworthy and competent developer

What kind of retarded shit is this?
Not to mention that pickpocket, sneak, lockpick, charisma, loremaster, smithing, telekinesis, crafting, bartering, and lucky charm are all utterly useless for your party, and you should just use companion slaves for crafting/smithing/loremaster (which makes it a fucking pain to juggle around items especially with the shit inventory system)
>>332649950
I thought Fight Club was shit, it's just that DOS is childish potty humor and "lol so random :DD" instead of being mature or serious.
I bet you fucking play Nintendo games lmao

You nostalgiafags never change, I guess that's to be expected. Time and again you invoke that word you so dimly understand: "fun, fun, fun!"
Fun has become the manchild's rosary. You chant it like some apotropaic charm meant to ward off the threat of progress. What you fail to realize is that not everyone plays games for shallow amusement. By merely reliving the simple delights of your boyhood, you're closing yourself off to a much more fruitful avenue of gaming experience: immersion. While you're off saving the princess for the thousandth time, smug in your shell of "fun," I'm visiting richly detailed worlds with interesting stories, themes, and characters; worlds where my imagination can grow and flourish without being stunted by superficiality. It's a kind of deep satisfaction and contentment your cheap save-the-princess thrills could never hope to match.
Tell me, when did liking infantile pleasures as an adult become accepted, even trendy? Just as it's unhealthy to play with Nerf guns in a board room or take your date to the McDonald's PlayPlace, it's unhealthy - disgustingly unhealthy - to obsess over googly-eyed cartoon icons from your childhood.
And don't bother pitching me that worn-out apologetic from the hack writer C.S. Lewis, whose claim to fame was a children's story about Jesus being a lion. You may be worth less than the brown stain on your briefs, but even YOU know better than to fall for argumentum ad verecundiam.
So to recap, my bloated friend, there's a time and place for Mario and Zelda, for cheap thrills and shallow amusement, but for you that was ten years and thirty pounds ago.
