Pillars of Eternity Beta Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Jaesun]

Epic thread will be epic.

 

[Hegel]

It's beautiful, even the OST.

Larian remains the broest of them all, making their beta open to everyone.

The new update is on the last page btw. Contains a list of known problems.

Bit of a different thing here.

Why?

 

[Bubbles]

D:OS was decent and all, but it wasn't the kind of game that could credibly demand $25 just for beta access.

Why?

Wasn't that early access?

Yes and I think the cost of it was 50 euro or something.

 

[Grotesque]

Lets take a moment and think of all the people that were alive at the time the kickstarter for Project Eternity went live and dreamed to play the beta but for whatever reasons died in the meantime and never had the chance to experience it.

what's your point? they still decided to give beta keys to all backers regardless of tier, instead of giving it just to the people who backed 95usd or more, like they said they would.

Solid Hud seems to not work yet.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. K'.

DEAR FUCKING GOD. It'll take 40 min for mine to download. My body is ready motherfuckers

 

[Bubbles]

There sure is a lot of uninteresting dialogue in the beta. It's like a version of PS:T set in Beregost.

And there you go, the first streamer got wiped by the road beetles and rage quit.

the fight with the cowled dudes is hard

It was a lot easier than the beetles.

I wanted to write something here, but thats actually pretty accurate. Dialouge is well written.

 

[Sensuki]

Game GlobalVariables is also XML

I'm waiting for my flight and the guy just quit, couldn't bear the shame?
The soundtrack is awesome.

[insert obligatory reference to Robin Williams being an RPG fan — "You missed it by ONE WEEK! Maybe if Grimoire had released on time, it would have tided you over, and you'd have lived to see it."]

To those already playing: Does pressing Q perform a quicksave like in Infinity Engine games? Just curious.

Is he wearing a fucking fez?

 

[Bubbles]

All the Twitch streams are here, Pwootage is nice and mellow.

Fair warning: the guy who calls himself Aspie Lad might be understating his condition.
