What can OE learn from Tyranny to better PoE 2
Hit the Conquest button after making a character and you get the introduction to the universe. Nah you don't. You get a series of choices to make in a conquest campaign of a place you know nothing of at the moment. And you care not for the moment. Couldn't disagree more I thought it was a great intro to the game world

Because it's there. Pretty much this Like how some are focused on a Mars colony when a moon colony would be easier and cheaper

What are you playing right now
My problem is that there are very few games I'm interested in. These isometric party based RPGs (Tyranny and PoE) are right up my alley but it's a really narrow alley So when a game comes out that I actually like I tend to play the hell out of it

Pillars of eternity or Tyranny?
This is what I feared, I probably won't be getting it. Not that I always stay away from that kind of content, far from it - but in this isometric party-based CRPG format, I'm not exactly chuffed to bits, enduring choices and consequences in a 20h stream of contrived evil deeds. I'm looking forward to Torment (Ironic, given its title, no?) and PoE2. On the plus side most of the quests like that have multiple resolutions so you don't have to be all grimdark all the time or even most of the time. The NPCs sometimes even react to it if they feel you are too nice or too merciful

What are you playing right now
Almost done with my second playthrough of Tyranny. Going to wait for more patches or whatever until I do a third so not sure what I'm going to play in between since the next SWTOR "expansion" doesn't come out until the end of the month. Maybe I'll finally get around to TWitcher 3 but the second game turned me off of the series so much that it's going to take a miracle to get me to finally install it So probably more CK2 and Stellaris

Pillars of eternity or Tyranny?
I don't think it ever gets to the point of Stabby McStabinson IV but some of the crazy people faction have some pretty out there names, more along the lines of Mad Max style names. Toecutter, Moon Bloodgood, Tom Petty, etc

Pillars of eternity or Tyranny?
I do believe Ashe explains how he got his name if you go the Disfavored path but in general if you are already bothered it's only going to get worse in the naming department

Favorite Charities
They typically have substance abuse problems that eliminate any type of profit they may be making. If I have time I give them food and clothes (especially in the winter) over money I've only ever met one guy that passed and only wanted money and I so ended up not giving him anything

The color puzzles? Different colors activate different switches. You can just try them all since there is never more than 3 (4 for the very last puzzle) colors except for the ones what want the torchkeys from other dungeons but even then it's still SSDD and even then it's extra areas and side quests PS the ones that require multiple colors in a certain order also give hints on some loot drops but even here you can just try all combos

This seems to be the default choice for most people on the first run. Anybody chose chorus, rebels or nobody? I'd recommend someone side with either the Chorus or the Disfavored on their first run too The Scarlet Chorus and Disfavored split is more of a chaos or order choice so it's not surprising to me that more people are siding with order even if they are brutal in their methods and somewhat rigid in their thinking
