Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

[Brotherman Bill]

I call dibs on the expansion review.

Real or not?

Darth Roxor will be doing the real review.

We can do a roundtable review, with Roxor focussing in-depth on the game mechanics, Grunker on the broader implications for the card game and PnP spinoffs, and me focussing on the story aspects.

Darth roxors review had two paragraphs on the mechanics and the rest of the 12(?) pages were story...

 

[Space Satan]

PoI is like Baldur's Gate 1. I hope expansion will be like BG2. A fully developed story with much needed fixes in various aspects of the game.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Making it an addition to the main game rather than a follow-up is a sure way to make sure I won't play it.

 

[Roguey]

Heart of Winter had more interesting writing than base Icewind Dale.

(some might say it's because Avellone came up with the plot and wrote more for it)

 

[Lhynn]

Heart of Winter had more interesting writing than base Icewind Dale.

(some might say it's because Avellone came up with the plot and wrote more for it)

Dunno if more interesting, but more involving and engaging for sure, which is how it should be when it comes to games.

 

[Quatlo]

Fool me once, fool me twice...

 

[Jimmious]

Good news
I'd like a reason to replay this with a rogue(which is missing so much everywhere that you actually believe you were meant to play as one from time to time)

 

[rado907]

Screw the expansion. Make sequel. And do it properly.
Edit: Ah, what the hell. If we had Tales of Sword Coast and Trials of Luremaster and whatever, we can have a PoE expo.

Let's hope this time will drop the overly descriptive dialogue,i mean i don't give a fuck if an npc pokes his nose or ass while i talk to him,i just don't want to know for fuck sake.Planescape had a balance between descriptive text and dialogue and it was interesting for a change.
They need to make some big changes in the story/writing department.

 

[Renegen]

I hope you can turn into a vampire with this expansion, or a werewolf.

 

[Morality Games]

I'm pretty sure these expansions are the Fallout: New Vegas style where they take you to a new map.

 

[Darth Roxor]

cant wait to hate this

 

[Ulrox]

I hope you can turn into a vampire with this expansion, or a werewolf.

Or a vampire werewolf.

 

[jagged-jimmy]

I hope you can turn into a vampire with this expansion, or a werewolf.

Or a vampire werewolf.

This will be a tough choice: +10 Acc or +5 Deflection at combat start for 2.0 sec + 10% for each 20 points in Int.

Can't wait.

 

[GrainWetski]

I hope you can turn into a vampire with this expansion, or a werewolf.

Or a vampire werewolf.

I'll have you know it'll be called Vampwolfkin in the game. Obsidian didn't want to offend any Vampwolfkins out there.

 

[Jasede]

Wow, Persona 5? I'm excited!

 

[One-and-a-half-Ivan]

It's gonna be gud, guys

 

[Perkel]

It won't be expansion.
Instead probably will be new game.

Update #98: The Bard's Tale IV and Update 1.06
By BAdler on June 2, 2015 12:00 AM
Update by Brandon Adler, Lead Producer



Hello, everyone. I have two exciting bits of news for you today. Our new update is now live and our friends at inXile just released a Kickstarter for a new Bard's Tale!

So we don't leave you all in the cold on the Pillars of Eternity expansion, we just might (wink, wink... nudge, nudge) have some stuff to talk about after E3 (week of June 22nd) and we'll also have some really cool news to talk about with Update 1.07.


Looks like it will be either new game from them or one of their other project 'dex doesn't give shit about.

 

[Morkar Left]

How do you come up with the idea it would be a new game from this announcement?

 

[Fry]

cant wait to hate this

Eagerly awaiting your first ironic review.

 

[Severian Silk]

(some might say it's because Avellone came up with the plot and wrote more for it)

You would say this, yes.

 

[AwesomeButton]

The last time they promised they have exciting news, it was news about them making a card game. So, brace yourselves...

 

[Kz3r0]

God willing, this will be the Mask of the Betrayer expansion for Pillars.

 

[Roguey]

With Avellone gone it'll probably be Fenstermaker's Folly part two.

 

[Sensuki]

Prepare for another trial
