I actually prefer the game over PoE1, there are flaws yes but it had me hooked for a while. I am waiting a bit to go back to it when all the expansions are out however. The look of it is much better, i like the animations, I prefer the combat as it doesn't feel as hectic and fast as the first game, i like most of the music... (the only part I have a real problem with is the level up music!!!!) I don't play on POTD and don't learn the systems inside out, i like to sort of barge in and take it as it comes in these kinda games. So the whole difficulty issue is not a problem for me I struggle on some fights in veteran mode. It's on sale on GoG now right isn't it? I'd say go for it.

Yes but remember the character generator for DA was much more advanced. Everyone would look almost identical on this.

The best part of ToB is the party member it adds and his sexy voice.

You need the required gym badge for them to listen to your orders.

Well I thought it was funny!

Well... thanks for sharing, I'll try not to be too upset about it! But more seriously, I wish I had just waited until everything had been released and got it for cheaper/in a better state. I have put the game on hold until everything is out for it as I probably won't be replaying anytime soon as this back log of games keeps building up...! Oh well!

Yeah I agree with most of what you have said. Empower isn't a very interesting game mechanic, but like you say it's easily ignorable. I forget it's there most of the time. But overall the game is good and a bit of fun, but not the step up BG to BG2 I think a lot of people were hoping for.

Managed to play for a few hours yesterday. I really liked the intro where they decide to join you or not depending on how you've acted. I like some of the weather effects. I really like that my guy actually has a RUCK SACK on!!! This might be the first time I've ever seen that in an RPG. Well done.

The Souls games are celebrated for the same reason this is apparently being criticized. HMMMMMMMM. Well I haven't played it for myself yet, maybe I'll start whinging later.

I guess a lot of people want to just put in a game and breeze through it on hard even without putting effort in to learn the game systems or anything. God damn I can't wait to finish work to go play.......! Euuurggghhhh! 5 hours and 51 minutes.

Yeah I like equipment weight and that in some games, makes you have to think what to actually carry. Instead of everything that isn't nailed down! Downloading the game... taking a thousand years. Oh well I'll check it out after work.

That sounds pretty interesting actually. Although I like the Pillars games they really don't feel like the IE games at all, other than superficially. I'm not yet bored of generic fantasy settings, I would absolutely love another game set in the Forgotten Realms. EURGH, must hold on and not buy day 1 and be annoyed by bugs and stuff.

How does the feel compare with Deadfire? Combat/moving around/clickety clacks of the menu? Also is there a walk toggle, this is the most important thing of course.

Is it possible to take the voice sets from the original BG and put them in? Haven't looked into this. I kind of like the slightly pissed off sounding Cam Clarke voice.

I can't believe some of you are defending these shoddy pieces. They look naff. It doesn't matter the reason why, they just look NAFF! That is undeniable.

Everyone wants to polish your sword, err so to speak.

Still waiting for Kotor 3? You're gonna be waiting forever mate.

Pics of the unpainted? And does someone want to send their painted ones to Ashens?

This seems like almost the exact same blunder inXile did with Torment: Tides of Numenera and that completely bit them in the read end. Obsidian seem to have been careless with this.

Just do it the good old fashioned way, whenever she speaks put your fingers in your ears and shout LALALALALALALALA

They need to get Cam Clarke to do one. Having his voice, Jason Marsden, Jim Cummings, Kevin Michael Richardson... would have really made these feel more like the classic games.

Huh?

Come on lads, this is petty.

He already said he feels better and is saved, why is everyone offering unnecessary advice?

OK Eder's face looks hilarious. That is some shoddy paintwork.
