Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity [BETA RELEASED, GO TO THE NEW THREAD]

[coffeetable]

the SRR portraits were "painterly"

what

e: and the only one i don't like so far is

 

[Infinitron]

The portraits are fine. They don't have the kind of I CAN SEE YOUR PORES detail that the BG1 portraits had, though. They're more like Icewind Dale portraits, but with only the face.

 

[Sensuki]

No, the Pillars of Eternity ones have a more painterly style.

The godlike ones and Kaz's early ones are really good. Rest are okay/average - but haven't seen a lot of them in full detail yet.

 

[Mystary!]

Im happy with just faces, cause I always felt compelled to match the weapon proficiencies with what was on the portaits.

 

[imweasel]

dem godlike portraits

Very cool.

I really like Obsidian's races, but I can't get over how stupid these particular godlike look like. It looks like she has a fucking ogre's ballsack stitched onto her face. The conehead one we saw in the demo is even worse.

I really like that Death Godlike portrait. They kind of remind me of the Miraluka in Star Wars tbh (with the no eyes thing).

PS Sensuki Duraframe300 I think MCA is at Gen Con? https://www.facebook.com/obsidian/p...56101592/10152316901941593/?type=1&permPage=1

 

[Sensuki]

Probably yeah.

Did they have any media sessions at Gen Con?

Haven't seen shit all apart from hoverdog's recap

There's a livestream: http://www.oomba.com/gencon/tv/

But it kinda sucks and there's no proper archive.

The party was yesterday. There's one or two tweets of people who attended.

And no MCA isn't at Gen Con AFAIK. Shane DeFreest is and probably some other.

I actually like Polina's artstyle. Very colorful, curvy lines and almost voluptuous proportions on some characters, I'd like a comic drawn by her. But when placed next to more realistic or even photographic portraits with a more muted colorscale, they look cartoony.

+1 on that godlike. Feels like I have to do at least one evil-godlike playthrough.

 

[Abu Antar]

Beta out tomorrow. Excitement levels rising. Hoping to get beaten to death by some beetles.

 

[catfood]

The portraits suck. BG2 level of suck. They should've hired Justin Sweet and that other guy, what's his name.

Can you at least import your own?

 

[Zombra]

The portraits suck. Can you at least import your own?

Yeah. I remember it being mentioned somewhere, maybe in one of those videos. At least for the protagonist. Hopefully for Adventurers' Hall doods too. I remember because I immediately started thinking about what I wanted to use.

:O I totally forgot about beta. Shitstorms closing in. I wonder when it'll be open.

More like soap opera.

"O diosito mio! Es Rodolfo Jesus!"

EDIT: I quoted the wrong post.

Obsidian wants $25 more from me (on top of the $100 I already gave them) to get access the beta, to which I am going to have to say... no.

But I did up my pledge by $20 to get the expansion, setting my personal record for the number of video game pre-orders I have done for one year (PoE expansion and The Witcher 3), and they are for next year to boot. Crazy shit.
