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

[mutonizer]

Is there any way to disable sleeping everywhere feature?
is it a part of any difficulty and if no, why not?

It's all based on supplies once you're not using the Inns system. Each difficulty setting has a maximum of supplies (6/4/2/2) that you can have at any given time and while you can sometimes find supplies out while adventuring, the availability recharge rate in towns might be an issue if you're not careful (not sure on that really).

Just apply self rules to yourself though and do not use the rest feature outside of Inns or places you find might suit a resting period if you're in the wild. I'm already planning on doing that for the Sash access personally and only use it to store items if I'm in town/stronghold. No need to FORCE everyone to do this, but you can if you want, like resting I guess.

Watching some streamer build a "battle mage", not understanding game mechanics, immediately getting doubts about the viability of his build after running out of spells "given how the game is balanced" is painful and hilarious at the same time. Good thing the game seems to be super easy and forgiving on normal.

lol, link please?

Edit: Was the limited rations mechanic stolen from MMX Legacy?

Yep, Josh stated as such at least. No idea why any sane mind would do that but...there you go

just speaking generally, the overflow of hype is making me sick already.

Me too, but it is a good kind of sickness. My stomach is shaking with excitement.

The documentary ends on a cliffhanger, almost as if deliberately edited right before the game's release.

'It's all on us right now. There's not a publisher involved. (...) It's our game. It's our time to step up to the play and make sure we can hit a home run.'

Guess we'll find out if they succeeded in a few days.

Was Obsidian really THAT fucked before the Kickstarter? Didn't realize...
All I can say is an honest "cool story bro" however, that group twitch video for the end of kickstarter campaign made me smile.

Seems impressed:

Anyone who enjoyed isometric PC role-playing games like Baldur's Gate will undoubtedly love Pillars of Eternity, which has taken over my life for the past few days. It's really, really excellent.

...

I'll have more thoughts on Pillars of Eternity closer to Thursday, when it comes out. Rest assured it's stellar, Kickstarter silliness aside.

Kotaku (...) Seems impressed

God help us all.

He finds all the lolis in the game problematic.

I dont want to fucking apply any self rules.

i want to play an internally coherent game without casual dumbass feature in it.

I'm not going to read kokatu but what does he mean by "Kickstarter silliness"?

Duraframe300 Sensuki You know the drill. Post any previews you find. I suppose there won't be much until the review embargo is over though.

I put an archive link there.

Your "internally coherent game" is the "dumbass feature" of someone else, so...good luck with that mate, and have fun in NevergonnahappenVille.

I keep hearing about those so I wonder: are they in some cemetery where you actually need to click on them to read the inscriptions?

I don't know if it is in a cemetery, but you obviously have to click on them. You can just ignore it if you want to.
