More portraits I think folk may enjoy if you have the time.

I like these changes personally. They make sense from a game and a logic standpoint.

I think it is a lot better now that the information on what you are doing and what happened after you did it is clear. I still don't think they will have captured that base building magic that RPG seem to so consistently struggle with but I think it will be a lot more fun than Caed Nau ended up being.

I want to play a bleak walker but I don't want to be tied to the reputation system in terms of combat stats. Anyone know a work around for that?

What's the best way to check reload time?

Was wondering if anyone else had messed around with this combination? I don't know that it would be any more viable than a fighter/stalker combination but ranger has plenty of passive abilities to pick from to complement the fact that you spend most of your time shape shifted.

I agree. I think passive have the opportunity to really make some of those sub-classes unique and exciting and they just aren't willing to be creative or bold enough with them.

I strongly agree that the first few options for multi class characters are too limited and really throw off the rhythm of development for them.

Still not sure if those are the worst sex scenes ever or the *BEST* sex scenes ever.best sex scene i would said it goes to witcher 2 of geralt and triss in the elven ruins.I’ll second thisI would have to go with Shani from Heart of Stone. There is only one logical answer to this question: Witcher 3 Unicorn sex.

Aaaaaaand no update.

Real men worship the whore. But she is a fickle bitch!

System that procedurally generates levels to play and enemies to fight needs to be handcrafted. PoE would need to change completely tech for it to happen. Prerendered backgrounds don’t lend themselves too well to being randomised as they need to be designed, rendered, have walkable/line of sight and goodness knows what else done by hand. For my taste there is enough procedural generation to get my fill. Obs strenght lies in careful world design and storytelling, and it’s wise of them to focus on that. EDIT. Typos, Thanks autocorrect. I concur.

What more, specifically, have they promised, that you have not got in the backer beta already? "Get an early look at Pillars II and give the team feedback during its remaining development. New features will be added the first Thursday of every month, leading up to the release of the game in Spring 2018." This is the description for the product Obsidian sold. So this is what I expected when I bought the product. That is not what we have received and we have not received any communication why that is. But, and I cannot stress this enough, I don't really give a **** because it was only 20 dollars. Anyways, I hope I did not come across as rude. We are all fans. But irritation over a vendor not providing all of the elements described in their product description is about as reasonable as it gets.

Truth. The fact that a game like PoE1 and the new Doom have the same rating is indicative of what a joke the ESRB rating is. Super Smash Bros has a teen rating. I and everyone I knew regardless of how overprotective their parents were played that game when we were in elementary school.

Ha!

Why would once a month be "nice"? Again, the beta isn't for your enjoyment, it's for the developer to get feedback. If they only needed feedback on the three versions they have released, then it's the exact amount of updates both necessary and needed. Then they should not have explicitly stated they would provide more than that when selling the backer beta. I do not want to come across as rude but this seems really simple to me. Your argument is equivalent to saying the purpose of a car is transportation. If the car dealership misled you about the existence of additional features, you shouldn't be upset, because it is still capable of transporting you. That's absolutely bonkers to me. When I pay for something I expect to receive exactly what the seller says I am paying for. The fact that you seem unaware of the promises made prior to the sale of the closed beta access is fine but don't pass off your ignorance as intelligence. Your argument about the purpose of the beta in no way shape or form contradicts my argument. Now I don't care because it's only twenty bucks and I have received some value from the purchase, even if it is not as much as I was promised. Not to mention the base game is probably going to be a significant steal in terms of dollars per hours of entertainment anyway. So this experience is not enough to substantially change my opinion of the company. As long as they continue to make good games I will continue to buy their game. IT DOES mean I will be reluctant to buy this particular product again.

Nice. I like both of these quite a bit.

I would say 1. They talked about new beta couple times so we know one is in works. When I pressed Josh about beta release a while ago, he said they are not revealing dates until release as they don't want to miss one. As an example he said they were aiming for a release the same day I bugged him about it, but it isn't ready. If they said they are not doing beta and focusing on finishing the game I don't think many people would be irritated. I wouldn't. Still.... so this week? I'd be a little irritated. Hell, I'm a little irritated by this whole process so far. Whole development cycle we've gotten, what, two beta's total so far? It's definitely leaning on the side of "lack of communication from developer". That being said, it's a pretty minor irritation IMHO. Yeah, I just wouldn't have paid money if I had known this is all we would get from the closed beta. They specifically promised more than that, which is why I would be annoyed. It's twenty bucks, it's not remotely a big deal. No one will care as long as the game is good. But it would absolutely keep me from ever spending money on another closed beta in the future because they will have proven they just cannot be trusted to deliver on their word.

Divinity 2 is freaking funny man lol.

Assuming a beta update will ever show us up-to-date build. We will get might back and test the new resolve upgrade, but I will be surprised if they actually release more updates (like the revamped passive skill tree). So far they kept everything underwraps after initial feedback. Don't know if they just want to make sure it's good before showing it, or if they prefer to make a best impression on launch. The lack of general information re: any sort of beta update for the last several weeks (since not getting one at the top of this month) has me a little confused, honestly. They delayed the game and I thought they would get us an updated beta to play with and provide feedback on that might then get into the day 1 patch at the new launch date. Maybe that's still the plan, but a lack of any sort of update is kind of baffling to me. Even just an official "new backer beta is coming, we are aiming for next week" type of update? Honestly the only reason to not say anything is 1. They do not know when they will release one and they aren't going to say until they are ready. 2. They do not intend to release one and do not want to irritate fans. And it would irritate me considering I paid for it.

Would prefer a beta update but I suppose I can make do with this. Enjoyed the trailer.

I do not see anything wrong with romance or sexuality in games. I also do not see anything wrong if it is not included. And I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with intentionally veering away from sex or intentionally emphasizing it. It just depends on what the writers are going for. For example I thought that Hir and Pel's banter about whether she has feathers growing on her lady parts was hysterical but I also was not bothered by the lack of player romance either. As a matter of personal taste I do tend to prefer characters that are aesthetically pleasing, something I haven't felt about any of the female character portraits. I'd also prefer sex and romance be a part of the story because of the added humor, story lines, and immersion it provides. It's an M Rated game. Sex and romance is a huge part of every day life. Intentionally excluding that seems bonkers to me. But if Obsidian would prefer that Eder remains a broseph for life I can't get mad at that.

A possibly maybe one *fingers crossed*

So we will get one more at least. Nice. Assuming still no news on when that will be though. EDIT: Thanks for sharing the link!

So any news on whether we will get another beta update before launch?
