Pillars III Speculation Thread
daven replied to StrangeCat's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)On one hand, I could see some thinking that maybe a PoE3 might not happen because some might think that, hey, it didn't sell nearly as well as other titles. But OTOH, maybe if it had some AAA game funding from Microsoft, this could turn a PoE3 into a blockbuster. Who knows.... Yeah, I believe with the right marketing and a much more generous production budget we could see something very successful. I say it a lot but, the IP could also go on to compete with The Elder Scrolls one day. Obsidian already invested in their classic crpg engine, so doing a proper follow up in Pillars 3 makes sense as the next step. But Eora was always a setting that much more could be explored in. Especially once Obsidian ramps up with full AAA 3D rpgs again, TOW is still more of a AA mid budget venture. Imagine as the Eora IP matures and grows its fan-base, and Obsidian's pipeline is well oiled for the AAAs. Then that would be their time to strike. Probably still 8 years out though for something like this. With Eora being basically the one IP that Microsoft gets from Obsidian, they would be crazy not to have a long term plan like this. They should drop the 'Pillars of' and call it something else with Eternity. Not make it a 3. Then again I guess Fallout 3 was popular and most people who played it had probably never heard of the previous games.

What are you playing right now?
Well... hopefully Zelda: Breath of the Wild soon.. ordered that and a Switch the other day. I never thought i'd have any interest in buying one but I just caved in after watching Matthewmatosis' new review for it...! Haven't played a Zelda game since Wind Waker as they have looked pretty dull since that.

Who will buy Day 1 or Pre-Purchase?
I think the reviews on RPGCodex are pretty good, very in depth and no scores out of ten in sight. But they tend to release a review about 6 months after the game is out soo... yeah. Depends how long you're willing to wait.

Needs more DLC
daven replied to nouser's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yes, if rumors are to be believed, we may never see the end of the Eothas/Gods Pantheon story (honestly, no major loss there). But it seems like such a waste for the CRPG genre to die again after coming this far. Personally, I'm hoping they'll use the systems they've developed for a fresh CRPG game/story*. *Just please not another post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland. Getting so tired of that trope. Hard sci fi RPG! Obsidian, are you listening to me?! (no)

ideas for better sales of obsidian

What do you want to see in the franchise
daven replied to Dodo00d's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I hope they'd stamp out the plague of endless fine/superb/etc weapons in Deadfire but that never happened. Enchantment is an annoying one, why does my character just somehow know how to do all this enchanting? There should be a specific person who can do this, or you have to find the formula to do it from a quest/dungeon? You know.. have it behind some gameplay instead of a menu.

Who will buy Day 1 or Pre-Purchase?
Hmmmmmm... a lot of you base your purchases on watching steams? I don't think I've ever seen one.

State your profession!
I actually felt so embarassed about making this topic cos I was drunk. Surprised it has so many replies... but yeah... nice one everyone. Thanks for making me feel less guilty. I like it.

State your profession!
Well yeah... that's called work. SOZ ARD!

State your profession!
Just curious about the backgrounds of some of you folks! I am an almighty beancounter. This wasn't my intended life however... I sort of fell into it from doing other jobs here and there. We got anyone working on a nuclear sub or something? Still got some whippersnappers left at school? Doesn't seem like so long ago I was going on these sort of forums when I had my first win95 PC years ago as a teen... funny how time just seems to fly by!

Football (Soccer) 2018-19
Well... I let this die didn't I!?!? Man City have lost 4 games now??? How the hell did that happen. Liverpool seem to be on the road or the title... I haven't given up hope yet I still think Man City are a better team, we just bottled a few games. Ah well, we will fight to the bitter end! Funny to see how Man United have done a complete 180 since Jose got fired eh!

Option for camera to not zoom to units
I really like the camera pan, however i sometimes wish it was more sticky. I feel like I click something and the camera has already panned past I want to click? Does that make sense.... i'm not too drunk. The camera follow is probably for me one of the best improvements to this sort of game i really wish it could be implemented to BG2.
