So, Pillars of Eternity 2 has just been confirmed to be in development and Fergus hinted at Tim Cain and Leo Boyarsky to be working on a new project.
Thoughts /v/?
>Obviously, as you’ve probably guessed, we’re starting to move forward on [Pillars of] Eternity II. That is probably something that we want to look at [in terms of crowdfunding]. I think people felt like we delivered on our promise, and then that felt like we could go with Eternity II and people would support us again, because they trust us.
>Eternity II is not announced, [but] it seems silly for me not to acknowledge it, though. If someone asks “Are you working on it?”, I respond “Well, wouldn’t you work on it?”. So then they say “So you must be working on it”, and then I’m like “Well, yeah”.
>Obsidian’s CEO also mentioned that there’s a small group of people within the studio that’s working on something completely new, but he didn’t want to share any details regarding that yet. What’s worth noting, though, is that the names of Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky came up while talking about this. Feargus didn’t say that directly, but he pointed that it might have something to do with a prototype using Unreal Engine
Huh, wasn't tyranny announced just last month?
It was obvious. Sawyer had already confirmed it as much himself on Twitter.
I'm happy. I am one of the ten people in this world who enjoys Pillars of Eternity and thinks it's a great game. I actually think it's the best Isometric RPG from the new ones in the past few years. Looking forward to a sequel. Also looking forward to Tyranny and Torment and Divinity: Original Sin 2 and whatever this new project is, for that matter (Maybe that World of Darkness game everyone wants?)
By the way, Pillars of Eternity 2 will be set in the nigger isles, so expect tons of "WE" shitposting.
>>337824020
yeah but it's not being headed by the Pillars team.
>>337824040
>By the way, Pillars of Eternity 2 will be set in the nigger isles
is this real?
where's source?
>>337825064
Sawyer changed that to be his twitter location for a while. He does that with every game he starts developing.
Crowdfunding, uh oh.
Let's hope they don't fuck up their game again with retarded stretch goals and backer promises.

I hope someone makes a world map or something because english is not my first language and the english used in PoE is rather complicated
I have a hard time piecing together the lore
does anyone have the source where they announced PoE 2 is coming???

It's WoD right? It has to be. Unreal Engine, Boyarsky, completely new.
>>337825316
well, that's an instant DROPPED for me.
>>337827327
>the lines in between what characters say are way too much and need to be reduced
I don't mind this as I'm an avid reader. It's kinda funny though because they already truncated the dialogs to be as succinct as possible while retaining their writing style but people still whined about reading too much in an RPG.
I blame it on people growing up on Baldur's Gate garbage prose.
>>337827586
Well, they just got access to all the assets used for the MMO from Paradox, so yeah, it would be dumb if they weren't working on that as soon as possible.
>>337827714
why? don't you wan't to slaughter the whole nigger land? get some perspective
>>337827964
>implying you'll be slaughtering them and not saving them
come on anon.
>>337827936
we got nice thread about this some time ago
the city from that cancelled mmo looked great, models where also nice
I bet they're porting all that stuff to save time and money while focusing on writing
I love obsidian so damn much
>>337827912
I don't mind reading but it gets annyoing when they tell me how the crazy priest looks or what he does with his staff for the 20x time when I have a conversation with him
the conversations with him about the bomb and his past were good but overloaded with hints to gestures, how bright the saff flame burns and all that kind of shit
it's just me though because they don't do anything for me
>>337828062

"Best" is as always subjective, but it certainly was the most rounded one.
>Pillars of Eternity 2 will be set in the vailian republics
Good, they sound promising as fuck, ruthless trading cities, upstart merchants giving no crap about morals as long as the profit is right, backstabbing and politicking.
>>337823650
>Pillars of Eternity 2 has just been confirmed
What a surprize, it's not like we knew it's being worked on it for months.
>>337824040
>I am one of the ten people in this world who enjoys Pillars of Eternity and thinks it's a great game.
It's one of the highest ranked Obs games on metacritic (both critic reviews and player reviews). Codex != everyone.
>>337828528
And yet, your unique mental conditions seem to help you achieve the impossible.
>>337828661
>Codex != everyone.
Even on RPGcodex it is very well recieved, the author is just an opinionated shithead(rtwp is bad, because i say so).
>>337828493
the devs don't remember so the choices to do so will never exist.
the only choices allowed is
>save the niggers openly
>save the niggers sarcastically
>save the niggers with five paragraphs worth of speech
>save the niggers stonily
>>337828634
to be honest, I rather would have that they made a prequel and showed us how the war of the black trees and that other war went down
way more entertaining
>>337826663
>>337827714
Fuck you guys. The Vailian Republics sound like a bad ass place. Yes, they have black people in them, but they're a political place full of backstabbers, not to mention animancy is going out of control there.
Besides, think of it this way: You'll be slaughtering tons of niggers. Hell, all of them if you want to.
>>337828661
>It's one of the highest ranked Obs games
that's not saying much
why cant these cucks go out in style? why do they always need to go out as wimps every time? and why don't they quit games. they clearly have no talent at all.
>>337828946
Pillars of Eternity let you massacre every single person in your path (except for one person that dies anyways) and end the game by becoming the servant to a villain god.
You will be able to kill everyone in the game if that's what you want to do.
>>337828661
>Codex != everyone
It's pretty funny, because as time goes on I'm starting to agree with the Codex more and more. In general, I mean. I enjoyed Pillars quite a lot.
>>337829002
>Yes, they have black people in them
LOL
you almost make it sound like a bad thing
>>337829169
that's just a pleb gimmick, seriously, their games are on of the worst.
>>337829071
>no talent
I enjoyed PoE just by looking at the artwork every time I played it
why do you hate video games and yourself that much?
>>337829002
Vailia is an aesthetic disaster though. It will look like a pile of steaming hot shit if they pick that as their setting.
>>337829483
>you almost make it sound like a bad thing

>>337829483
Don't you know? Having any black person in your game is grounds for having any thread about said game spammed with "WE WUZ KINGS N SHEIT" or "HOL UP"
>>337829179
Well, I agree with them that New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
>>337829608
The artwork is phenomenal. It's just such a nice game to look at.
Let's hope this time they drop the autism MMO style balancing and just make a fun fucking game.
>>337829963
Sawyer's still in charge and also now the Design Director for the entire studio.
>>337830045
If he had been promoted that means he won't have the time to rebalance everything with every patch.
>>337829750
must be an american thing because I don't get it
yes, we gased the jews back then but at least we didn't disriminate solely based on skin color
>>337830172
He's still rebalancing things in PoE. Rogues and barbarians are next.

>>337830531

PoE was anything but generic though that might be a good titlte for the sequel since I doubt its going to be as exiting as playing the first game with all the lore dumped and being familiar with the artstyle and mechanics etc.

It makes 0 sense
They keep going against their playerbase
Also are they going to remake everything? because nothing in pillars was good
At least they would need a full combat and stats remake
>>337823650
Oh boy I can't wait for another game where every other couple is either gay, ghosts, lesbians or everything at the same time.OT: It was kinda fucking stupid that they shoved in PC bullshit here and there, it really ruined the suspence of disbelief.

wait a minute, wasn't Boyarsky employed at Blizzard as far as I know?
>>337831403
1/10 what
its the truth. They tried to make the game casual friendly, made character building matter nothing, made decisions not matter, made combat be a chore as when you hit higher levels you instagib everything and a pain early as you have little tools and everything misses, you don't have a way to raise accuracy, made classes a clusterfuck as the player is supposed to be able to pick whatever they want and not be punished
reduced all the RPG elements to its minimal expression to say they were there
Lets not even talk about the lore or the writing which was supposed to be the strongest part of the game, specially the plot that didn't make sense]
>>337832023
Other companies said the same thing and turns out they did have investors, after playing pillars it wouldn't surprise me desu
>>337831976
ar*b here
my favorite genre is CRPGs, and my favorite pass time is tabletop rpgs, how do you feel nowtabletop is better because they do not require an image of a human to be shown and is therefore more in line with sharia, mashallah
>>337832201
It's Renaissance instead of Middle Ages with souls technology. Sort of like a more subtle Arcanum in that regard.
>>337832331
it's their vision of a game
if you wanna shit on them so much go outside and in a lesbian/gay bar
>>337832417
>made character building matter nothing

>>337832417

>made classes a clusterfuck as the player is supposed to be able to pick whatever they want and not be punished
not true
>specially the plot that didn't make sense]
are you special?
>>337828916
RTWP when played at its highest level is basically "pause game every few milliseconds". It's only positive trait is that it lends itself better to a lot of garbage encounters. But then if your game has a fuck ton of forgettable encounters, might as well go full action mode ala Diablo.
I'm not saying PoE should have been TB combat though. The game's scope is clearly not fit for a more cerebral combat. I fucking played Agarest of War and while the combat was great, the fucking amount of encounters it throws at you is ridiculous, and eventually exhausted me.
>>337832608
I don't actually see a problem with it. Also I don't see much wrong with how it is in Pillars really, there's isn't even much lgbt content or romance shit in it. I don't like bitching either way with this garbage. Gamergate is a cancer and so is SJW bullshit just keep both out of games and video games should be okay.
>>337832417
you forgot to say icewind dale/baldurs gate did it better and your bait is golden
>>337832728
I played it on PotD
all classes get the same stats , damage stat and HP stat, the rest of the attributes are raised through items which happen to have multiple of those stats per item
>>337832774
>what the fuck are you talking about? perception rise accuracy since patch 3.0 you clueless jaded drone
how long did it take to release patch 3.0?
also
>no because no
why do you even reply
>>337832954
But its true, specially IWD which was centered around combat. Even BG1 which was pretty bare bones was better designed
>unreal engine
Nice, maybe it won't look like a steaming pile of shit this time around. That said I still had a lot of fun with the first, and will probably buy the second.
Post yfw the project with Cain and Boyarsky is Arcanum 2 with Fallout 4/Skyrim gameplay.
>>337832728
Not him, but I did. Character building was still pretty much irrelevant, you just had to put some thought into combat. But it's still basically impossible to fuck up a build no matter what you do.
Hell, I could keep the basic gear for most companions, and didn't even upgrade them until endgame because I thought that was the only thing that fit their personality, and never had any problem. So for example I had Durance running around in his basic shit tier robe and never felt that maybe, just maybe, it would be a wise idea to upgrade.
>>337827964
Damn you sold me.
>>337832331
I don't remember a quest having that. Was this on the expansions?
>>337833120
for some reason I don't believe you
also lots of classes don't need might at all
control mages (the strongest kind of mage), summoner chanters
>>337833120
I finished IWD 1 and I have to disagree strongly
the combat system in PoE (endurance) and how spells work is vastly supiriour
not saying it is perfect but they can build upon what they have
>>337833120
>how long did it take to release patch 3.0?

>>337833164

also unreal engine will not magically make pre-rendered background looks better or character models more detailed you fucking idiot
>>337833531
Sounds good on paper, but there are many enemies who teleport around like it's fucking nothing, or spam charm/dominate on fucking everything.
>>337833416
if you get might, all characters deal damage on top of casting spells, this was the most baffling thing. I could get a druid to have all spells and deal the same damage a ranger does, it was bizarre

>>337833740
>I could get a druid to have all spells and deal the same damage a ranger does
You build your ranger pretty badly then, or didn't use the abilities. Rangers were pretty shit in 1.0, but they're cool now. They got balanced and don't suck anymore.
>>337824040
>Sawyer had already confirmed it as much himself on Twitter.

>no Jason Anderson

>>337833915
badly how?
If the druid and the ranger have the same stats which they are going to since the rest are completely irrelevant then they will deal as much damage
The talents which everyone could get without any restrictions were trash with the exception of the ones that gave more damage which you would give to every character
>>337833921
You're thinking of Chris Avellone. Sawyer is the infamous hipster vegan that balanced and made the systems for Pillars of Eternity

>>337833638
It's kinda sad that people don't know the genius behind their implementation of the 2D backgrounds. A lot of the stuff is psuedo-3D and can cast dynamic shadows unlike ye olde days where it's just pure 2D but with boundaries.
Another game dev used to post here with his 3D shadow on 2D sprites. They looked cool and he said he's practically using the same system Obsidian does but with a different algorithm.
>>337834090
Ranger has ~abilities~ to improve their ranged damage, so, it makes sense to use a ranger for ranged damage and don't use the druid for that role, especially seeing as druid can do druid things in combat instead, which are some of the most powerful things in the game.
>>337833910
Yup, basically. I decided to recraft everything for the final dungeon, and couldn't even notice the difference. And I had Durance, Aloth, and Edér all running around in basic gear (dat second chance though, totally makes it worth it), and my character was sporting regular leather armor because that is the best looking shit in the game.
Expansion added some fun stuff that made me play around with gear a bit more. The mirror image robe, the helmet that grants you berserker and a might bonus as long as you keep killing shit, etc.
But in the base game Sanguine plate was the only "holy fuck I need this" kind of armor.
>>337834367
>Ranger has ~abilities~ to improve their ranged damage
Like what? didn't its damage come from its pet which always died in a few hits?
It makes sense to have all characters but the "tank" to use guns , they dealt more damage than 2hs
There are so many enemies in the game that if you killed everyhting with spell you would need to rest constantly and to rest you need wood of which you can only carry 2 before having to go back
>>337834858
>Like what? didn't its damage come from its pet which always died in a few hits?
did you played the game?
>>337834858
depends on the pet but the ranger itself is alright in terms of damage I guess
>>337831035
Pillars was great, they're pleasing fans like me that enjoyed it :^)
>>337834858
Like Marked Prey, which gives 20% more damage to you and your companion. Or Swift Aim, which improves your rate of fire and reload speed at a cost of a small accuracy penalty. Or Vicious Aim, that does the opposite thing - lowers your RoF, increases accuracy and damage. Or the ability that lets Ranger's arrow pass through the first target and hit the one behind it (doesn't have to be directly behind, there's a small angle available). Or that one that makes your Ranger fire TWO shots with each attack at a cost of a small accuracy penalty (hi Arcanum).
Druid can do none of that. Druid can do cool Druid things, though. Hence, it makes sense to let Ranger shoot and let Druid be one with nature.
>>337835226
>ranger itself is alright in terms of damage I guess
ranger is the best ranger dps in the game so yeah, i gues it's alright
>>337831051
Jesus Fucking Christ, other than the Backer NPC's, who even was gay or lesbian or transgendered in fucking Pillars? I don't remember a single character.
Didn't Obsidian confirm they would be making a PoE2 like a year or two ago, thanks to extremely frugal budgeting with PoE (FIRST DRAFT WRITING? GOOD ENOUGH, PRINT IT!) and their partnering up with Paradox.
I have to admit, PoE was quite a disappointment to me. Obsidian's dream game turned out to be a tedious, lukewarm tapioca.
Hope they'll improve the encounter design, PoE was trash mobs: the game
Wouldn't pirate it before a few years after expansions are out and the game is fully patched though
>>337831281
You're retarded. You can argue Pillars of Eternity is bad, but its mechanics weren't casual in any way, shape, or form.
>>337835670
I wouldn't count on that. The expansions showed signs of improvement in many areas, but encounter design was not one of them. If anything it was even worse than in the base game.
>>337835605
They never pitched it as a dream game.
>>337835670
they should go full Shadowrun with it. Turn-based, not RTwP. You can't load down every single class down with bullshit to constantly pause and queue up. Inbred Engine was lucky to only have to manage the casters in the back while the archers/melee guys were fine with AI Script. (I guess if you were playing an assman you COULD pause every second to quaff Invis potions an lay shit flat with a barrage of 7x Backstab damage multiplier attacks)

>>337835074
>>337835226
It did die ina few hits, that was a major complain in the forum
>>337835389
so 0% since hte pet got 2 shot. neither of those abilities increased its damage substantially, if its 20% and the average damage was 30 something then its 6dps which is negligible
It could never compete with casters who wielded guns
You couldn't use melee with melee classes as if you made theam deal damage they would get 2shot but if they were tanky they would do no damage
>>337835830
how weren't they casual?
>>337832417
>>337832112
Yeah, that's definitely what they're working on.
Surprised that Obsidian is working on three different projects at the same time. Plus didn't they also work on that shit about tanks?
>>337836341
They had better enemy AI, and some more or less hard counters got implemented. But the real problem of PoE's encounter design was never that they couldn't come up with anything interesting. The problem is that they come up with one, and then make you fight the same formation again and again until you lose all will to continue playing. And WM 1/2 had this in spades.
>>337836467
Sawyer's twitter location said "Revua, sailing SxSE", the sailing part means that maybe you get a ship, at least that is what I am hoping for.
>>337836487
What's the point of caster wielding a gun, apart from the alpha strike? You aren't going to reload that shit in combat.
>>337836736
I can't think of any Obsidian games with varied and interesting encounters really.
>>337823650
>Tim Cain and Leo Boyarsky
>working on a new project.
Please, let it be a new Fallout game.
>>337832417
Wow. I can't tell if this is a 10/10 level bait or if you are legitimately this retarded.
Of all the fucking complaints to make...
Have you even fucking played this game? I don't think you touched it for a second, m8.
>>337827327
>boring custom weapons you can find
I still can't get over the fact that they decided to add those cool Soulbound weapons, but added so few of them only a handful of characters can use it.
Fuck you I want my soulbound arquebus.
>boring/gay endboss at the end of the endless paths
Boss was ok.
The problem with Endless Paths is that they are fucking boring themselves. There is only one elementary school tier puzzle in the entire dungeon, all the other levels are just full of annoying weak enemies and nothing of interest.
Even those 2 sword pieces you find are hardly interesting given that if you reforge them that sword turns out to be pretty medicore.
It's the Sewers from VTMB/Black Mountain Mines from Arcanum all over again.
>>337832587
Why do I have the feeling there'll be quests focused around the more gruesome sides of animancy and you'll be confronted with decisions on whether you want to save test subjects or let the "good doctor" keep doing his job as it's beneficial to the Republics?
Would be neat, if there's plenty "Lets stumble into gruesome conspiracies" situations.
>>337836846
To try to save spells so that you don't have to rest, thing you can only do wtice before having to go back?
They deal as mcuh damage as spells except for a few
>>337836947
Level 3 was the hardest for me, those fucking ogre druid man
>>337837021
>quests focused around the more gruesome sides of animancy
There was an Asylim in original which was pretty disgusting. Also Raedric's private animancer.
>>337837064
Wizard has a wand blast which is really fast and can actually do decent damage.
>>337836885
Well, it was varied enough for me. I just don't see why they have to make every map chock full of copy pasted enemy encounters. Cut down the number. Cut it down drastically. If this is the only way you can make a 100+ hour game, then just make a 20 hour long one instead and be done with it.

>>337833535
>MFW Obsidian is continuing their cool new IP and also working on a new IP while pleasing the license-fags with a World of Darkness game.
Good.
>>337837151
>New Vegas 2 is the only thing that will make them money at this point
They made so much money with Pillars Feargus not only made Josh Design Director, but also allowed him to work on his dream RPG after he's done with PoE 2.
>>337837132
Yeah, the asylum was pretty twisted. Same thing with Raedric's animancer.
Lets not forget the part where the asylum worked with a known necromancer in the past.
I was thinking something on a more grand scale, since the Dyrwood was cautious concerning animancy. The Republics are bound to have one or two animantic rape dungeons.
>>337830492
>but FO3 is a much better game
>>337830727
The way it is said here is very American. Every country has its way to be racist n shit.
>>337837116
Technically level 3 was the hardest for me as well, but
>enter new level
>hear wailing
>>337833915
>Rangers were pretty shit in 1.0, but they're cool now. They got balanced and don't suck anymore
How exactly were they balanced in 3.0?
Last I checked they were literally rogues with less damage but *sligthly* more accuracy if attacking the same target as their pet.
The problem is the pet dies in a matter of seconds when shit gets serious, and the debuff you get after the pet dies makes your character literally useless.
>>337824040
It's not a bad game its just extremely boring.
>>337837515
>Last I checked they were literally rogues
Rogues can shoot their bows twice per an attack? Wow!
>>337837515
rangers got several abilities to keep their pet alive. Also, pets do huge damage now
check out the new abilities added in WM1 + WM2 if you like
Still kind of annoyed by that one quest.
>can support genocide
>quest involving a guy sexing his niece or something to try and preserve his blood line
>apparently this is worse than genocide and there is no way to support him withoit treating him like shit or fucking him over
>>337837143
That's what's Tyranny's going to be. But they all can't be that because a lot of people expect RPGs to be dozens of hours long.
>>337837185
I'm excited for it desu senpai
Just FUCK the /pol/acks in this thread
Get the fuck back to your containment board you faggots
>It's another fucking fantasy setting crpg
I will never have a good scifi crpg dammit.
>>337837867
They kinda can with high enough sneak attack multipler.
>>337838420
How do you expect vidya to take writing/story more seriously if you can't even tolerate politics in an online discussion?
>>337823650
>yfw Fallout: New Region
>>337838559
That requires first getting it. With a ranger you just always shoot two arrows, and then you can do hobble shots etc.
>>337838420
Back to tumblr, nigger.
>>337838554
Did you like Age of Decadence?
>>337830492
>you having bad taste
>FO3 is a much better game
So Pillars of Boredom 2 eh? Now I know what not to buy...
>>337838854

at least try to be funny if you are memeing

>Ranger ability starting level 13
Not to mention it's only for bows. Correct me if it was changed but last time I played bows were pretty bad since they were shit against anything with high DT.
Blunderbuss with that armor penetration talent was the king, followed by Arbalest/Arquebus for enemies with really high DT.
>>337838585
Of course every single video game discussion is going to be endless shitposts about niggers
>>337838675
Stop trying so hard to fit in you newfaggot, fuck off back to /b/ or /pol/

And there we go.
>>337823650
>pillars of eternity
wasn't this that one game pcucks were trying to meme the month bloodborne came out?
>>337838945
I am not.
>>337838063
You don't have an option to side with the uncle and just give him the niece as if nothing happened? I could swear you had that option.
>>337839294
I have more hours in Pillars of Eternity than Bloodborne. Both games are great, though, not sure why you're bringing Bloodborne into this.
>>337838680
Yeah but why are you asking that?
>Dropped Pillars of literal shit 8 hours in due to immense boredom with the game as a whole (but the piss poor "new" stats was the worst part)
>Played Icewind Dale 2

Neo-Obsidian are hacks that are out of touch.
>>337829002
>they have black people in them

>>337839424
just got reminded of fun times is all m80
>>337839575
Because the studio's next game will be science fiction. Although the only thing we know about it right now is that it will take place on a generation ship.
>>337839595
>Icewind Dale 2
Patrician.
>>337839681
Holy shit I didn't know about that.
I hope poe 2 isn't over balanced like the first one.
I want op spells and abilities. I also want way more unique loot. They should also fix the ranger since it's consistently the worst class in the game.
>>337840126
>Tim Cain and Leo Boyarsky to be working on a new project
Please be Fallout or VTM
>>337839595
Yeah, IWD1&2 are way batter, but maybe it's also due to Forgotten Realms setting? Pillars setting is kinda boring and I really fucking hated bydlo country game takes place in. Fucking hated both people and those savages.
>>337840126
>I want op spells and abilities
Sawyer will never give you this. Or rather, he'll try very hard not to give you this.
>I also want way more unique loot.
Agreed
>They should also fix the ranger since it's consistently the worst class in the game.
That's not how you spell "Paladin"
>>337840398
Fuck Sawyer. Fucking no fun allowed cuck.
>>337840126
Ranger is pretty amazing now.
>>337840398
>Paladin
Some guy on reddit got The Ultimate achievement (ironman PoE with both expansions on hardest difficulty alone with all the hardest bosses and bounties killed) with a Paladin. I'd say they are pretty good!
>>337838639
>>337836921
>Unreal Engine
it's not fallout you retards
Anyone else got tired of constant shades of gray? Gray is cool and all but when 90% of your choices is either cunt#1 or cunt#2 it's getting tiresome and makes you not giving a shit about the choices.
>>337839315
You can her to him but she's still possessed as far as I'm aware and everyone shits on you for doing it.
>>337827327
I finished PoE and started recently BG2 to compare.
the first thing I noticed is about magic there is a lot of magic you can use outside combat while it's non-existent in PoE. It would be nice some non-combat magic in PoE2
>>337842172
What? Don't you remove the possession when you kill them all?
>>337842861
But that would be fun and Sawyer wouldn't like that.
>>337839227
Nobody cares about your insecurities, /pol/tard.
>>337842861
pre-combat buffs were intentionally left out because players would prebuff with several spells before every single fight and ended up being a tedious (but needed) chore instead of an interesting tactic
>>337843609
That's cool, but Obsidian probably cares about sales. And a game with a primarily black population is always a risky move.
>>337839874
Patrician means nothing anymore.
