Now that all DLC has released and even Turn-Based Mode has been added, do you like the game?

I always liked it. And I still prefer RTwP to Turn-Based.
How do wizard play in turn based mode? I want to build a mage but fuck know how to do it
Yeah, it's good
I enjoyed it and I suspect it will be the last good RPG Obsidian will release in their lives.
the majority of Yea Forums absolutely hated it when it released. I don't think I've ever seen this board in a worse state than during the Deadfire release.
Maia is maiwaifu
Any r34 of her yet?
it still shit with bad writing
1) Yea Forums hates every game as soon as it releases, no exceptions, everyone mellows out on a game as it gets further away from release because the most ardent haters move on to hate on the newest game. The majority of them are too busy crying about Muslim Kombat right now, for example
2) A fair amount of the hatred is that obsessed copypasta faggot that is now spamming the Rick & Morty meme on Outer Worlds threads.
what did you guys liked about it?
the companions are shallow with almost zero dialogues the main story is joke that you can finish in 10 hours or less
challenge does not exist the only thing i liked about the game was the setting and soundtrack
Except nobody bought POE2 or its DLCs to find out if they're good or not (hint: they're not)
Wonder why the games flopped? Must have been the gay fish
That guy is the one spamming his Mortal Kombat fanfic, by the way.
I played it on release but I did not find it especially good, and despite the gameplay improvements I found more enjoyment in the original.
Also the ending was dumb and abrupt.
can't believe you're still around copying and pasting a whole year later, do you just sit and look at Yea Forums all day?
Speak of the devil...
Not that I've seen, but there is of her brother
I really liked it.
That said, I can't really find much replay value in Deadfire unlike in the first game for some reason.
I agree with you, but Deadfire was unreal. I have never seen the board in such a terrible state before. EVERY thread was bombarded with pasta, EVERY thread was basically just shitflinging between "Larianiggers" and "Obsidiots"
I don't like any game where I lead multiple characters and I have to pause the game to set my actions in motion. It's terribly monotonous and one has to be superautistic to appreciate that.
well they did this to yourself even Codex shit on them
>but there is of her brother
HA!
Typical Deadfire audience.
Fucking Prettyfishboys
No, I'm glad I pirated it.
Yeah, its really good despite its old-ass style of harking back to the Infinity Engine games. Hopefully Microsoft gives Obsidian a AAA budget to make Pillars of Eternity 3 a first person Oblivion style rpg
I have a specially trained helper monkey that comes to disturb my slumber whenever the existence of a POE2 thread is rumored.
His name? Mojo Homo
what did you liked about the game?
I don't even like this garbage, but you really need some help my dude. It's been a year now, focus on their next disaster Outer Worlds.
Is there anything interesting in this game, or it's another episode of ripping of warcraft and lotr poorly?
Same goes for turn based shit. It's only acceptable in strategy games (CIV). Turn based combat is an outdated concept that only virgins enjoy. Because they've never experienced any action.
It's okay now that the Steel Garrote subclass has been added.
>PoE as Sawyer Paladin (whatever order except for Bleak Walkers)
>support the Leaden Key whenever possible
>switch to Woedica at the end
>Deadfire as a Steel Garrote Paladin
pretty cool desu
How does the turn-based mode work? I remember in the first game you wanted every caster to have shitloads of dexterity so you don't spend an eternity casting spells. Does dexterity aka attack speed determine how many turns you get or what?
>1) Yea Forums hates every game as soon as it releases, no exceptions, everyone mellows out on a game as it gets further away from release because the most ardent haters move on to hate on the newest game. The majority of them are too busy crying about Muslim Kombat right now, for example
So you just want every thread to be a circlejerk over every new game huh? Are you an EA astroturfer by chance?
>2) A fair amount of the hatred is that obsessed copypasta faggot that is now spamming the Rick & Morty meme on Outer Worlds threads.
Not me, but he's based
I don't give a fuck about Outer Worlds
It really reminded me of Fallout 1 and 2, I enjoyed that it was more a series of vignettes in exotic places rather than one giant story. But I also knew going in that that is what the game focused on – the sidequesting – not the main quest.
>EVERY thread was basically just shitflinging between "Larianiggers" and "Obsidiots"
Obsidiots brought it on themselves with the attacks on Divinity 2
rpg nerds are the worst
divinity 2 is a bad game while deadfire isn't
>Sell your game to RPG nerds
>UGH RPG NERDS R DA WORST
Hi Sawyer/Ropekid, still don't understand why POE2 got worse reviews than POE1?
Then you fell for the ebin gayfish tick tock countdown memelord who coined those two terms and instigated the war. He's been shitposting in both DivOS and PoE threads taking a different side each time.
>divinity 2 is a bad game while deadfire isn't
Oh no, look at this dude
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO
Turn-based is still in beta, is it?
Because Obsidian has a lot of hardcore boomer fans going back to the Black Isle days in the 90's. These guys thought Obsidian would save them from Millenial and zoomer pandering – they only wanted boomer pandering stories and characters like in Baldur's Gate. Then Deadfire released and they knew they too had been abandoned by Obsidian and no big rpg studio would ever bother pandering to them again.
I enjoy it. Been meaning to do a new playthrough as wizard to get the most out of the archmage dlc. Blood mage seems interesting but evocation mages just shit on things so hard its hard not to go with that.
you know me well
I never shitposted about DIVOS you salty Obsidibitch.
I've also argued that I don't like the setting or some of the writing of DIVOS1 and 2, but they prove there's an actual audience for CRPGs - an audience Obsidian couldn't cultivate the way Larian did
You mean one ultra autistic guy literally spammed the same 50 posts every thread, non stop for weeks?
Yeah way too few rpgs get released anymore that its stupid to be so tribal about one company or another.
He's in this thread right now posting the same memes he did a year ago
> (You)
>I never shitposted about DIVOS
boards.fireden.net
I really like that he's so openly speaking about these things. Usually you don't get the chance to hear the Project Lead speculate on the reasons for declining sales / review scores.
I disliked Deadfire as much as everyone during launch and I still am massively disappointed with the direction Obsidian has taken with the franchise, but I'll always like Sawyer as a dev.
Yet my attacks were so effective and critical (like an RPG) that I killed not only POE discussion on Yea Forums, I killed /poeg/
Or it could just be that this tired and shitty "pump the alt fantasy mill for all shes got, Scotty - we're totally not LOTR we swear" just didn't work
you do realize that is likely people just posting the same meme rather that one person right?
Its amazing one guy has so little going on his life that he is here all day every day just waiting to shitpost.
Dex gives initiative, which determines your turn order. Your weapons and armor matter too for it.
You might wanna google how it works, it's kinda big topic for the turn based.
>I really like that he's so openly speaking about these things. Usually you don't get the chance to hear the Project Lead speculate on the reasons for declining sales / review scores.
On a forum you have to pay to access, you forgot to mention
B-B-BUH BASTE SAWYER DOES IT AGAIN A GUH GUH GUH
I'm glad RTwP is finally dead.
It's based that Sawyer listens to Chapo Trap House and is a communist
>Because Obsidian has a lot of hardcore boomer fans going back to the Black Isle days in the 90's.

I knew Obsidian was fucked when POE1 introduced rich fantasy negroes. There were lots of Obsidiots that were still falling for the old tricks, but I wasn't.
People really should have gotten a clue when THIS was a character in Tyranny (or maybe they did and it's why POE2 sold so poorly)
>On a forum you have to pay to access, you forgot to mention
I don't care, apparently enough Yea Forumsirgins have access to it so that I can read the screen caps.
If anything those stats just prove how small the audience for rtwp isometric style rpgs is, since Kingmaker and Deadfire have essentially the same figures. I like isometric rpgs but I guess there's no future for them
Based Sawyer not caring about his games flopping because in his communist utopia, he'd be paid whether releasing a good game or a bad game.
Kill yourself, you Sawyer loving degenerate faggot.
>People really should have gotten a clue when THIS was a character in Tyranny (or maybe they did and it's why POE2 sold so poorly)
this cap was posted in every single PoE thread after the Tranny launch, multiple times even. Nobody on Yea Forums who had even a slight interest in CRPGS has not seen this and hated it. let's face it, Sawyer is one of the very few competent devs left at Obsidian. Their entire writing team is utter garbage after Avellone left.
i really liked the gameplay. there so many fun builds you can create. the story was awful. ethas is wondering around piller to piller for reasons and all you do is tail him. the pirate them felt like it was something added on the last second and factions dont matter much since you can work with all of them without consequence and then go your own way.
the characters were even worse espaciliy the ones who come back from the first game. they just feel there like they been added just for fan service and the new ones were not much better. i find it funny the discont party members were more interesting then the normal ones and had cooler backstories. romances were a mistake. never add them again.
overall, its worth it if you like the gameplay system but everything else is midcore.
>Kill yourself, you Sawyer loving degenerate faggot.
make me, keyboard warrior.
Or maybe just release good games?
I lit had no idea who Larian was until after DIVOS1 was a big hit, and DIVOS2 was an even bigger hit
pathfinder problem was bugs and for POE 2 it was just bad reputation poe 1 was just average and even when i love RTwP i did not buy it
No, it's horrible.
I really, REALLY want to like this game (clocked 170 hours so far). But nope. It's still shit.
>Based Sawyer not caring about his games flopping because in his communist utopia, he'd be paid whether releasing a good game or a bad game.
That's pretty much where he is right now since Microsoft bought Obsidian. They're going to be making content for Gamepass and he'll get paid whether they succeeds or not because Microsoft need to feed as many styles of game as possible to hook people on their video game netflix
So has anyone finished the game in turn based mode? Is it good all the way through? I can imagine it getting really slow later on, it was never originally balanced for it.
Was pretty good, really enjoyed some of the DLC. Disappointed in some aspects though, I think they put too much emphasis on the ships and world map, but it didn't really work out as any sort of compelling gameplay. Better off sticking to the core tenets of the gameplay than trying to get fancy imo.
Some of the VA work was really great too, Eothas in particular.
>let's face it, Sawyer is one of the very few competent devs left at Obsidian.
Then how did he let an error like this slip in?
Reminder I'm a better writer than Josh "uses taught instead of taut" Sawyer
I don't think you understand how kys works, lmao - no wonder you like Obsidian games you illiterate faggot
No.
is this the one with the gay boats
oh god, it's him. he's still doing it.
>Including my POE2 part
BASED screencapper
listen, PoE2 was shit, but you're comparing 80% to 100% and acting like its a big difference. you're a stupid faggot and you need to stop sperging.
i do not like shilling but this guy nailed it
youtube.com
>is this the one with the gay boats
Reminder Obsidiots hyped up the ship combat and it turned out to be nothing more than a CYOA with no sea battles with monsters
Uh, no.
Argument could be applied to Netflix - Fox would cancel the HELL out of shows until they found ones that worked, whereas a Netflix show could suck ass and still get more and more seasons.
>but Deadfire was unreal. I have never seen the board in such a terrible state before
user, Yea Forums is full of old ass CRPGfags that wanted a well-written game. Deadfire was the equivalent of a Marvel movie in video game form, right down to weird jokes at inappropriate times, quips, and random blurbs of IRL politics in a magical land of elves and fish people for no reason.
My enjoyment of both games increased when I threw companions out of my party and replaced them with custom mercenaries.
1 had a few fun companions at least like Zahua and Durance, but god damn do I have a seething hatred of 2's companions.
>and random blurbs of IRL politics in a magical land of elves and fish people for no reason.
Wow, your bigotry is showing.
All Icewind Failers must fucking hang.
>All these new criticisms I could use for these threads
That video's gold Jerry! GOLD!
To be entirely fair, what he says about 2 has some merit. The reputation system was a disaster. Not only did it not work, it was so bad and rigid that they couldn't fix it, AND it prevented them from adding new companions into the game.
>don't give a fuck about Outer Worlds
I highly doubt that given your hate for deadfire and obsidian.
Yeah the companion system is trash which everyone could see coming since putting character development behind computer programming numbers is really stupid.
t.loser incel
Can't fix shit with badly implemented shit.
>Youtuber with weak male mayo voice thinks having a gay character in games is a political statement
why am i not surprised
Yep.
Perhaps that's why sidekicks are better, they haven't ruined with forced romance. I still like Eder and Aloth, even though Aloth is a grumpy old man now.
>I write homo shit better then a fucking fame dev
I hate POE and what it represents
Outer Worlds is for that zoomer still obsessed with New Vegas - now while I enjoyed NV, I'd rather play FO2 anyday.
where he do criticize gay character?
What does POE repesent?
Trash games.
>Pillars of Exposition
No.
He thinks having Tekehu in the game is a political statement lmao
But I don't write homo shit; Obsidian does though
CRPGs - is that even a serious question?
Nigga Outer Worlds looks just as "woke" as cuckfire will be and is even worse because it's attempting to pander to NVfags. Either Cain and Boyarsky became cucks like Sawyer or obsidian is too infested with sjws for them to make a difference. I think 1 was better.
So you have obsessively posted about Deadfire for a year because you don't like crpgs?
>Either Cain and Boyarsky became cucks like Sawyer
Cain is a literal fag that cut the hetero romances from Fallout 1
...
No, for ruining the reputation of CRPGs as being poorly written info dumps and making people think they can't sell.
Has a game even been forgotten faster?
I've seen the shit you write when you would link the shit you write in that post, you have a fanfic of Sonic getting ass raped in prison and turned into a prison bitch and one of MK9 chicks being trannies and fucking a dude. So not only are you a faggot, you're a furfag
Not that FO1 has gay romances though
I don't recall anything about romances in 1 at all, gay or straight. Just being able to fuck a prostitute in junktown. Also given the state of vidya romances that's a good thing.
>Divinity
>deep character creation and customization options
>extensive ability and skill options
>tactical combat
does reddit actually think like this?
>inb4 Lariniggers call me an obsidian shill
PoE is trash, removal of vancian spellcasting is always a mistake. Eat shit you gaggle of retards
>Lariniggers
Yeah, because nobody's going to claim your a obsidian shill when you dismiss anyone calling you wrong a larinigger.
Can we expect PoE 1 and Tyranny to have turn base?
I guess I would give this game another chance.
Remove this filth. Deadfire was too disappointing in every way minus mechanics. They made a sequel that's standalone so it doesn't followup on any loose threads from the first game. Like Eder obsessing over what Waidwen said to his brother Woden. He meets Waidwen face to fucking face and doesn't ask?! And Woedica. If you empower he she and all the other Gods are Bertath's bitches for some reason. Who put her in charge?
Not a furry or a fag and I like you ignoring my vanilla stuff
>I don't recall anything about romances in 1 at all
There was a cut romance with a female paladin at the BOS - you can still see the pet names she calls you in the text files
Also romances are based unless they're poorly written gay shit like POE2
...Holy shit that is Sawyer.
One of the best crpgs to date. Only retards shitters and mentally ill no life autisits try to say otherwise.
time for a Sawyer run, my man.
Why do people want romances in vidya when almost all vidya writers are absolute dogshit at writing anything, let alone a romance? The only ones I've enjoyed in a game were the Baldur's Gate 2 ones and Morrigan in Dragon Age Origins, that's it.
>Deadfire couldn't even beat Kingmaker
Yikes
>I really like that he's so openly speaking about these things
You know what would have helped? When they were taking feedback during development they should have been in the backer forums instead of a fucking tumblr discord and somethingawful.
You would have to have Larian's cock deep down your throat to argue that the game had any sort of "deep" character building.
>It's okay now that the Steel Garrote subclass has been added.
Wait, what?
>He thinks having Tekehu in the game is a political statement lmao
Gay fish is a political statement; just like this moment where a gay guy hits on you and you have no way of saying no, let alone being able to call him a disgusting fag or have him suffer from repercussions for bursting into your room.
and what did you like about the game? the shit companions? the horrible writing? the gameplay with no challenge or it was the ship battle mechanic?
Once a faggot always a faggot.
There he is.
last patch added a new subclass for every class, including Steel Garrote for Paladins and Priest of Woedica for Priests.
I absolutely love grumpy old man Aloth.
>I'm sorry, but I'm not interested
>no way of saying no
???
>He's STILL arguing that you can't tell the guy to fuck off
>When options 2, 3 and 6 are telling him no
>inb4 "W-Well 3 implies you'd fuck them if they weren't ugly".
It doesn't, only a homo who loves dick would believe that, and considering you wrote a fanfic of your special snowflake MC getting fucked by Futas you qualify as one.
>was so excited to meet Brobydon, God of Bros and Friend to All Humans in PoE1
>is generic god character who looks down on humans in PoE2 like every single god in PoE2, all with little personality
Rymrgand is the only good one because he's so insane that the other gods are afraid of him. Also based Wael.
Linking all companions to factions was a mistake.
Were you there when Pillars 1 went out? It was exactly the same shit.
>and considering you wrote a fanfic of your special snowflake MC getting fucked by Futas
The character is nameless and faceless and is used for audience self insertion (as well as my own) - nice to know you don't have reading comprehension either.
>that the other gods are afraid of him
Except for Berath. They made her too much into a Mary Sue.
>Apologizing to a gay guy who is hitting on you is your only way of saying no
What a shit game
I consider both PoE games to be straight fucking harmful to CRPGs because their vision of "balance" is an absolute fun and creativity killing AIDS.
>caring what Yea Forums thinks
If you can't form your own opinion and need hand holding, then you do actually belong here.
If you enjoy RPGs you will obviously give the game a try. Everyone already knows that RPGs are barely getting released anyways. It's a functional game, everything else is preference.
Well, damn. People have been asking long enough, huh.
DA2 has a based virginal elf waifu romance that shits on any romance in POE2
How does Bioware at their most pozzed manage to outdo Obsidian?
AO-greed
Rtwp is absolutely the worst shit in existence
I hope you're not implying that garbage ass BG2 romances are "based", you can turn this shit off with mods and your experience will literally become better.
Why did Obsidian snub their backers for Tumblr Yea Forums?
>oh hey, this class is sort of fun, you can do all sorts of goofy shit with it
>all the goofy shit gets balanced next patch
Fucking hate that shit.
>If you enjoy RPGs you will obviously give the game a try.
Yes there are bottom feeders of every genre that will literally watch anything - like horror fans that will watch the most dimestore piece of shit slasher just because
At least be honest and say you just don't like class based systems.
To ensure the trash game fails and get then bought up my Microsoft.
And they succeeded.
I absolutely adored old CRPG with class based systems.
PoE is an absolute garbage in that aspect where you choose between what sucks less.
Because modern California is a fucking joke and Obsidian's new hires are jokes. You have the Indian woman who lives in America but complains about "the racial subjugation her people suffered" when she's never been to India or Britain, you have the cuck fetishist, you have the gays and the idiots.
I'm not gay like you and enjoy having sex with women, so...
>this mage magics too hard, nerf
>this soul mage soul magics too hard, nerf
Not him, but I don't see the connection. A class based system is inevitable unballanced and any attempt to make it more ballanced only sucks out the fun of having classes in the first place. You might need that shit for MP games but in SP it's indeed harmful.
Just play on easy.
Don't see how. The only thing it hurts is the ability to make broken builds the make the game easy.
Except this has nothing to do with difficulty.
Most of the fun in BG2 came from installing challenge mods and using your entire arsenal of tools to beat it because the tools were fucking amazing.
PoE is a galore of overnerfed garbage that is still primitive even on POTD yet hilariously boring to boot.
>Why did Obsidian snub their backers for Tumblr Yea Forums?
They're true believers for the cause - here's Sawyer/Ropekid admitting he yelled at fellow employees, creating an unsafe work environment, over not adding enough LGBT characters
Which has nothing to do with balance and is instead about having a buff debuff counterplay which is not present in poe.
>TFW Megan was on our side but got yelled at by Josh
Why does every thread eventually needs to devolve into american culture like the sjws/poltards/libtards/rightwingcuckage/jews/niggers?
When are these people gonna leave for reddit permanently?
PoE has plenty of retarded broken builds yet they are just an absolute shit to play with
neverplayed this, generaly hate turnbased stuff.
can I play a Demolitionist that hates faggy wizzards and hippies?
Go back to Trannyera.
but its fun. thats what matters in the end.
>Which has nothing to do with balance
Yes, BECAUSE no good party and class based CRPG is about balance, you braindead moron.
It's impossible to balance a mage and a warrior without making both of them feel like trash. It's only possible to make them awesome in their own way which is a polar opposite of what PoE did with its own classes.
I'll be honest I completely forgot about Merrill, I tried to forget Dragon Age 2 as much as a I can. She's was qt though retarded as fuck, bullying her while romancing her is the only way to go since you make her stop being a brainlet and fucking with dangerous shit.
Sorry forgot that one, american culture like the sjws/poltards/libtards/rightwingcuckage/jews/niggers/mentalillness?
When are these people gonna leave for reddit permanently?
>game designed to appeal to old grumpy CRPG fags and modern hip and trendy Californians at the same time
>halfway through development, Obsidian abandoned their own forums and started getting player feedback from Tumblr and Discord instead
The game is really stuck between two sides that fucking despise each other.
It's not turn-based, it's real time with pause.
I guess. Explosive are in Deadfire, anyone can level up it.
There is a mage slayer subclass for barbarians too.
Well tumblr and discord won since they all love the game
There we go. They'll leave once they stop getting (you)s.
>yes BECAUSE of this completely unrelated thing!
Are you legitimately retarded?
Combat mechanics can be both balanced and have counterplay. PoEs combat is not good but it is not because of their attempt to balance it. It is because of its simplicity.
Are there Gunnes and crossbows or am i limited to bows?
>Well tumblr and discord won since they all love the game
Close but not quite. They love how they affected the game's development. They never actually bought the game. The backers like me bought the game and had to deal with Sawyer shitting on us all the time to look good on Tumblr and Discord, and despite all the shilling, they never bought the game. The only people that bought the game were Obsidianfags and PoE1fags.
>Combat mechanics can be both balanced and have counterplay
Provide me with your design document about balancing a dozen of classes with unique mechanics
Both are in. Guns have pistols, blunderbusses and rifles. Crossbows have variants too like the Arbequs.
There's Arquebus', Blunderbuss, and pistols, plus bows and crossbows, and a Gatastraphete. There's also a double barrel shotgun.
There are pistol, blunderbuss and arquebus for guns. Pistols and blunderbusses can be dual wieldeded.
Crossbows and Arbalests are in too.
pretty good comment i have very similiar options
for example i cannot imagine that i would buy Bioware game simply because i know that i would cringe hard with the writing i know exactly what character it will have and how they will be written
so there is only gameplay they can offter to me but with the casualization there is not even that rather that creating games for fans they decided that they want new audience well i wish them luck
>Why does an American game on an American board discuss American politics
Gee Bill, I don't know - I don't know, why does your mom suck my hot dog?
>tfw Bioware leaks from people who left apparently showed there was conflict between the diversity hires who wanted to make a political statement and the normal people who wanted to make a game
wew
The fuck does this have to do with anything?
Vancian casting is literally and I mean LITERALLY the single worst spellcasting mechanic in all of gaming
A lot of the vocal people there never bought the game. One particularly only watched a lets play and called herself an expert. Still mad about Ayoballin being banned.
Righto ill give it a go.
this better not be another "your the chosen one!!!!" rpgs
Yet you retards still bought the DLC when they could have added a decent hetero romance, instead they added a faggot one and spit in your face and you asked for seconds
>spoiler
oh boy
The irony is that character ended up getting replaced by durance.
the breastplate thing is not equality or crap like that, it's just a healthy amount of armor autism
Eh, MC has a power that several other characters have in the first game, and in the second he was basically at the wrong place and the wrong time.
>Obsidigays ITT right now as they discuss bullshit mechanics as if the game has any depth
To be fair, boob play always looks dumb. The redesign looks much better. Based sawyer.
Not only that but they did add a Ydwin romance. Just not for you. She's into blue orlans.
And this is a healthy amount of... what?
Based kill yourself, faggot.
>play
I mean, plate. Totally not a freudian slip
How about you kill YOUR self, faggot. Disagree with sawyer's personal politics all you want, he's a reasonable guy.
>This is the writing some Obsididrones ITT have defended unironically
OH NO NO NO NO

This, the intent seemed to be to make her seem a bit of a airhead but they made her seem like she was genuinely retarded.

Yeah its Chris Avellone that thinks you shouldn't write about rape in video games anymore when he threw Sawyer under the bus for Cook-Cook. Called it disgusting
Sawyer changed a shit ton between PoE1 and 2. Sawyer wrote a fucking Pillars of Eternity bible for 1. For Pillars 2, he couldn't even be bothered to finish writing the ending.
remember that anita was fairy good at hiding the fact she was batshit insane and suckered a lot of people who genuinely just wanted more women in the workspace into thinking she was a reasonable human being
He made it pretty clear he wanted to move on from poe after working on it for so many years.
>he's a reasonable guy.
*censors a game based on a twitter trannies posts*
I thought nuObsidianfags left when their favourite shit company got acquired by Microsoft.
The fuck?
You aren't the chosen one exactly, you get a special snowflake power but it's only a power that's rare and you run into a few other people with it throughout the game. You get it due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
>Turn based combat is an outdated concept that only virgins enjoy
People like this don't deserve to live on the same planet as the rest of us honestly.
>HURR PLS I NEED MASH AT ALL TIMES I NEED FEEL LIKE I GOOD
I never pirated the dlcs, is that true? Did they do anything else?
>ching chong
This takes me back to the good old days of GG. More to the point though, that's what happens when you feel beholden to a group of people because they basically donated money for you to make a game they want. You can't just tell people to screw off, it's my vision. You have to bend the knee. The real problem is people thinking twitter outrage means anything at all.
At least the guy who did the Limerick was based enough to make the new one be about someone making a harmless joke and being killed for it. Sawyer can eat a dick though, he's a fucking faggot. The only good thing he did was Joshua Graham and even then it wasn't entirely his own character.
It's one of those dudebros who've only played call of duty and FIFA as well as only AAA games all their lives either that or a zoom zoom poster.
waited like 3 weeks for them to fix save imports on release, then played it for about 15 hours and dropped it, terrible game
That's aloth of eye rolling
Tempted to do a replay as a pro-Rymrgand Pale Elf from the White that Wends.
Only problem is that I'm not exactly sure if it'd be plausible for a Rymrgand worshipper to want to chill in his god's domain for as long as possible instead of seeking some Buddhist tier destruction of the self.

No, the reason is that WRPGs should be at Harvest Moon or hentai visual novel numbers of women to date: 6 hotties and 0 gay romances - Mass Effect 2 was the closest we ever got to this wonderful dream
>>yes
>>sarcastic yes
>>no (yes)
>>HATE YESES
Kingmaker was successful for the publisher even with the rocky and slavjankTM buggy start
Aren't they planning to implement a turn-based mode as well?
thankfuly no
No?
Im playing POE1 now and I can’t see how anyone could like this battle system. It just seems like the fucking worst. It’s so bad I can’t even see how they would deem it acceptable.
Usually when I feel this way I assume I’m missing something. So, what am I missing? Note I like BG, IWD, etc.
They had a poll in which it was implied they were interested in turn-based combat and mentioned DOS2 specifically. Maybe for a future game.
This whole series is a pile of shit and I seriously cannot believe anyone would defend it or praise it without being paid to do so.
>Tfw enjoying bg, divinity and poe
You miss out you hateful faggots
Based. Play Pathfinder Kingmaker too.
I beat Baldur's Gate ages ago, and I'm close to finishing a multiplayer campaign in DOS2 with my friends.
No. Rekke got a gay romance but that's about it.
You know what bothered me about Deadfire? We got a good amount of dialogue options but they all led to the same reaction
>Option 1: Fuck yeah I'm a bitchin Watcher.
>Option 2: Me? I'm just a Watcher
>Option 3: Oh I'm just a farmer.
>Option 4: [Nothing]
All lead to one reaction.
>Literally fallout 4 tier dialogue choices
lmfao these are your supposed WRPG "saviors"???
>Sawyers sanitized sterile muh balance gameplay
>meanwhile on Kingmaker
>can turn into a hugeass dragon with 5 natural attacks and sneak attack enemies with your bite, claw, tail slap and wing buffet, while retaining spellcasting and highly boosting your physical attributes, retaining gear bonuses, with unlimited dragon breath with no cooldown
>can also turn every other non mage companion and some summons into it as well for a polymorphed dragon army
>can gas the enemies via massive Stinking Cloud and Cloudkill braaps of death
>can summon as many creatures as you want with no limit whatsoever, not even per character
>can just twirl your weapon around like a flamboyant swashbuckler and immediately shaken or fear all foes in a huge aoe radius from the gayass display you just did
>can have an army of animal companions that immediately charge and ram the enemy dead in 1 round
>can be a dickass alchemist chucking exploding aoe knockdown party friendly pots over the enemies multiple times/round
>can increase both the size party members AND their weapons thus increasing their damage dice by a ton and having a bunch of dark souls tier giants on the battlefield raping enemies with absurd damage, your archer literally shoots spears while also equipped with an already oversized giant bow
>can equip an accessory that's literally nanomachines son, with multiple effects and boosts that self activate depending on conditions
>can prebuff with as many shit as you want to the point you look like a radioactive mutant freak christmas tree
>can dual wield as a dickass rogue and achieve ~10 attacks/round, all inflicting sneak attack and other debilitating shit, with DEX increasing both your AB and damage
>can immediately kill on sight bandit and monster scum, including their villages without even giving them but a chance to talk or explain themselves, thus purging your lands of their kind forever all for literal Lawful Good points
And that's to name a few of fun SOUL
i agree Pathfinder have soul with is likely reason why i liked it more that poe it is much more close to BG that any of these games
>you will never be as rectally ravaged as this biodrone
>Merrill
There is now no difference between Biodrones and Obsidiots.
So, we should all throw in with Owlcat or Larian?
You don't have to "throw in" with anyone. You don't owe anyone loyalty. You should have no personal investment in a company that wants to make money off you, especially ones that deliver poor content like Obsidian and Bioware, unless you own shares.
Game is alright.
Above average, but maybe not worth 50$.
Its big issue is that all of the new companions are boring as fuck, and all of the old companions got more boring.
In addition, the setting is a focused on piracy and trading in a world that has things 100% more interesting than piracy and trading.
Also some autistic faggot on Yea Forums is obsessed with this game, and watching him embarrass himself always makes me feel bad.
Bioware is just dead at this point
There is still some hope for Obsidian
But honestly, Owlcat is the true savior of the cRPG now from the looks of it.
Larian makes good games and all but they're not what I would call classic D&D like cRPGs. They're more comedy romps with fun gameplay and nice humour
Because it's boring as fuck if you can't find a build you enjoy. Luckily, controller ranger with the lightning soulbound bow was perfect for me.
>Shaken or fear all foes in a huge aoe radius
Can't you get Cornugon Smash to inflict fear on all Power Attacks, then Dreadful Carnage to inflict fear in a radius on kill?
Is it complete yet? I'm eagerly awaiting to play it when it's fully patched and has all DLCs. This kind of stuff sounds wonderful.
So what is verdict Yea Forums? PoE2 or Divinity 2?
Both are pretty good t b h
I will now consider playing your game.
did they fix the gay shit?
Kingmaker is pretty damn great in terms of combat but it lacks in a lot of other things, but at least the combat makes up for it.
Kinda wish that exploration wasn't such a chore though, and there were more actually interesting places to visit instead of copypasted cave entrance#5 or copypasted river fork#7. I'm already after the Armag arc and I feel like the game is just dragging on forever.
Yes, but Dazzling Display does the same except it's less costly feat wise, spammable and with a dash of Thug inflicts fear.
Perfect for a character like Valerie desu.
The supposedly last DLC with infinite dungeons and notUnderdark shenanigans is coming next month.
You should be glad in a way you get to play the "final" release, since most bugs have now been fixed, and the based slavdevs have implemented many qol changes requested by players
I find comparing them to one another to be nonsense.
OS2 for example is nothing like IE games which is what PoE was going for. Not saying it's bad, but frankly it's a whole different kind of RPG.
based anti-Obsidian autist
i just want to say that i love you and you're right about obsidian even if you're an autistic mong
that's one thick tail
Doesn't it suffer from Pathfinder's hateboner for martials?
since it's mostly RPGs mentioned here, has anyone played this game?
> but it lacks in a lot of other things
I feel it's basically the only new cRPG that managed to come close to BG.
It has fun gameplay, is meaty as fuck and also offers plenty of alignment dialogue options with choice&consequence.
It's also the only one to do BG1 tier exploration right.
I'd say the party members are mostly average, nothing special but also not awful like some nuBioware or Deadfire tier ones.
>wish there were more actually interesting places to visit instead of copypasted cave entrance#5 or copypasted river fork#7
I agree with this but I also understand we're talking about a team of 20 something slavs with a small budget who still managed to make a game that's meatier and deeper with far more scope than AAA RPG garbage nowadays.
DESU all I want from Kingmaker now would be a ToB/MoTB DLC focused on epic progression since I enjoy that. Possibly with planar travel and fighting demons/devils instead of feyshitters. It's already annoying enough Deadfire still has a fucking 20 cap even after all the DLC, even ignoring the fact you could already hit 20 by just playing it back on release.
Not at all. Martials are rather good, you find quite powerful gear/weapons with effects that make even ToB tier shit blush, not to mention they implemented size progression and stacking faithfully so even a single size category increase already boosts your weapon damage dice by a lot.
It's also the tabletop inspired game with most feats implemented for martials along with other features like Charge. ToEE has some of these but nowhere near as much as Kingmaker.
Pathfinder doesn't have epic progression, though. It has Mythic tiers, which work a little differently.
>finally got deadfire on steam sale
>thinking I might get a comfy poe 2 thread
>fucking larian niggers toss the bait and you eat it up like 8 year olds fighting about who's got the best dad
fucking assholes.
well user, i dropped OS after two hours but i think Deadfire is a travesty
I know, but they could implement something new or just adapt that akin to what Bioware did in ToB or heck, overall BG.
I just want muh epic shit
Kingmaker mechanics with Pillars graphics and aesthetics (pre-rendered goodness) would be my cRPG GOAT. Deadfire had some great-looking areas to explore in, especially the meat dungeon in the DLCs, and I wish it were the same for Kingmaker.
not larian fag i just think that POE 2 is bad game
with bad writing the only thing that i liked about the game was the setting
> with Pillars graphics and aesthetics
"no"
The graphics and aesthetics look like hot garbage. I seriously can't believe people call them good.
>Reminder I'm a better writer
lol you write literal garbage fanfic futa shit. Don't compare yourself to rpg writers.
*braps in your ear*
Divinity for fun, POE for insomnia.
Pretty shit taste, m8. Deadfire had some fuckin gorgeous maps.
No.
Ugly art, boring plot, no interesting role playing opportunities.
RTwP is the best and turn based is for geed poussies
No, it doesn't. Nothing in those two poorly designed Unity games is gorgeous. The character models look like hot garbage and the artstyle doesn't improve them.
