I think it was more to prevent going bankrupt and no longer having a company, than to prevent being purchased and still having a company. Also, first Pillars Kickstarter had 73,986 backers, Pillars 2 Fig campaign had 33,614 backers. Approximately $2.25M of the funds raised for Pillars 2 was in 'Fig funds', which I think is money from people who invested in the game, but I'm not 100% sure.

I already made my decision in the console war, and it was PS4. And also Switch. So, everything except an XBone. So if Obsidian did release an Xbone only game, I'd... well let's be real, if the game looked good enough I'd buy an Xbone. But I wouldn't be happy about it.

Well then, sounds like you already voted with your wallet, which is part of why they are where they are now.

Customers did leave them. POE2 was commercially disappointing. A shame, since I loved it, but we have to face the facts that our niche fandom was barely keeping Obsidian afloat, so while they may be 'losing customers', they've already lost plenty and that's why this business deal is probably necessary.

Yeah, nobody hates a franchise like a fan of that franchise. (New Star Wars rules BTW.)

I suspect that if they had that amount of customers, they wouldn't have been in the financial situation where this was a necessary move.

I can only conclude you've misread my post.

People acting like Obsidian Entertainment accepting a business deal that means they don't have to constantly have the fear of bankruptcy and unemployment over their head is a big betrayal need to get a grip and get some perspective.

Yeah but instead, the Archer IP.

You have lost reputation with Eder: Major.

The Beta is buggy and unbalanced? What is this, amateur hour? It's like it's some unfinished not ready for release version or something...

Yeah combat seems to be infrequent but meaningful so far, up to about level 5.

Yeah imo this is the best Larian game. Story is actually interesting, which helps.

I've been playing this solo as an undead elf (because I needed a corpse eater for plot reasons and an undead for... well also plot reasons but I didn't want to hire Sebille or Fane because I like Ifan, Lohse and Beast more) and also been playing co-op with one of my friends as Lohse (he's playing as an elf) and thoroughly enjoying both experiences. Also undead make the best lockpickers.

That wasn't really unique to gender roles though, was it? It wasn't like every other peculiarity of the world you're in, they acknowledge your character's knowledge.

It's 'palate', you Paradoxical buffoons!

Well, if the link I posted is to be believed, it certainly seems like you'll be getting your wish.

Some enterprising fellow on Reddit found this little gem. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1658966/000121390017002557/f1apos5_figpublishing.htm From that page: "Obsidian currently has four games in development: Pillars of Eternity II; Tyranny DLC; Pathfinder: Adventures; and an unannounced title with a major publisher."

Ah thanks, didn't see that one.

Pistol whipping might be useful on a pistol toting ranger. So they'd be a character who ideally wants to stay shooting all the time, but if someone gets up in their grill they can get slapping.

Fulvano probably keeps going back to hand in quests.

lol this conversation is dumb

Did someone mention already that 20 bucks gets you all the DLC? Probably but here it is again everyone buy some DLC IMO.
