Pillars of Eternity - Official Thread
- Thread starter Grimmy
- Start date
This is a game I've been waiting for...a very long time. The Baldur's Gate series is probably in my top 5. This was when Bioware was really kicking some butt. I backed this when it was kickstarted and very happy to see it finally coming out. I've already pre-downloaded and can't wait for work to be over so I can start playing it.
There was a beta out for awhile, so there's plenty of videos of it's gameplay.

Damn, didn't know about this game until a few days ago. Otherwise, I probably would have bought this. As it stand, I just got grim dawn (arpg early access), so I will not be getting any game anytime soon (I like to finish one game before moving to another).
I've only gotten a few hours in so far. If you ever played Baldur's Gate (1 and 2) or Icewind Dale or Torment; it's exactly like that.
It's not using D&D rules. They have their own setup (spells, races, talents, skills, etc)...pretty deep.
There's lots of dialogue and exploring. I've enjoyed the combat quite a bit. I'm playing on hard, so I'm managing things quite a bit (pausing). If you like that sort of thing, then you'll like this game.
It is a big time sinker. I have to pull myself away, but I want to keep moving forward.
It is a nice change of pace in RPG terms where it's less 'actiony' and more strategic. It's the only type of game where I like micro managing.

Dang, I need to get this. IMO, BG was the best RPG set in fantasy world and has still yet to be rivaled. We're talking about substance over beauty here.
Fallout 1 and 2 being the best RPGs set in modern times...yes, better than the newer Fallout games (which are still great...imo).

Mine shipped (box'd version). I can't wait to get back into it. NWN2 is my all-time favorite RPG ever (with a close second being BG2). If Obsidian can come anywhere close to that caliber of a game, then I'm going to love this! Cancelled my pre-order for W3 actually. Can't play both of them.
Good time to be a PC gamer, so many quality game. I am playing Grim Dawn (early access arpg), once I am feel I give value from it, I may get this game, but I guess Witcher 3 will have shipped. So much choices....
Been looking into this recently and just watched a video of character creation and beginning quest and definitley something i am interested in.
Fantastic game. Have encountered no bugs as of yet, but I'm not all that far in. Really think I love these old school inspired RPG's. Can't wait for some sweet mods!
I'm playing both right now as you really need something to take a break from BB once in awhile. That said, I'm not sure I could chose one over another, really depends on what you are looking for. Both are fantastic.
Also POE patch should be out today.

I think I skip this until later, as I really need to spend more time on my game project. I think my next game will be WItcher 3.
If you have gaming time, then why not.
Edit: are you answering to my question., If so, thanks.
RPG is my favorite genre, by a distance, so I probably get this over Bloodborne, but the latter is something I may certainly pick up at some point when I have a (unlikely) game drought.

Started a new game with the patch just to be safe and because I wanted to try a different build anyway. Ended finding some things I missed along the way. Game is excellent, if I had one gripe it would be the fact that you really need at least 5 in your party to have a chance in any of the tougher fights. This is really not a problem, but I just prefer smaller parties.
I managed for awhile with 3, but lots of re-tries. More the better and easier to allocate tactics. Playing on hard.
Sow I bought the game for $20: http://unionvgf.com/index.php?posts/372408/ (link from VaLLiancE)
