PoE 2 most assuredly will not be a prequel. It will be more sequely than the expansions.

I think you're letting your religion color your glasses a bit. I thought it was more a hyper take on Tolkein mixed with various creation myths.

Disney is a multi-billion dollar juggernaut, they are not going to take kindly to some guys saying "let us take your IP and then give you a cut of hypothetical profits". There's a reason Disney went with EA.

Jesus, dude. Take care of yourself. This isn't a game.

If you forget it's even there, I would say that's not a waste of resources at all.What do you mean? It's a separate game mode I never use, it looks like a waste to me. Of course, it might not be to other people. A good use of MP should be complimentary.

Ah yes, the prerequisite "if you like what I don't, it is a mark on your character" post. We get it, you don't like the game. Constantly posting in the thread isn't going to make other people like it any less.

A forum is nowhere near a good sample of your audience - financially or otherwise. Are you implying that DA:I only has sold a few thousand? How many of those 650 are the same person?

1) Too late, you're in a 14-page long thread. I think we're playing it. 2) More bad news: this is the kind of game BW has wanted to make since forever. "GTA meets RPG" has always been the MO.

Talking about what constitutes the genre in relation to its audience has everything to do with sales.

I'd assume this would be near impossible to do if the only reason Paradox signed on in the first place was to be able to foot the bill for rewards.

This has my vote.

No, they are making the point that it is a video game and is no way an indicator of "how smart" someone is.

It's not a matter of "make", it's a matter of "making". I doubt PoE is going to sell so much that it allows Obsidian to not have to worry about money.

I can download for free from Nexus.

Yeah, it's really jarring and I hope they change this in the future.

And this is never going to happen. Especially with a game they created to try to become not only financially stable but financially independent. TF2 only went free because the TF2 shop and Steam make Valve money hand over foot.

As well as bad for companies in general. There are a reason why things like NDA and copyright law exist. There's a reason why newbie writers can't just pitch a Batman story to a DC Exec at a personal lunch.

You must sit around thinking "How can I say nothing of significance today just to get my post count up?" No, that was pretty much a summary of my thoughts on the issue. I don't really tend to think about post count or it makes me realize how much time I've wasted talking online.

Oh please, stop thinking that Pillars will sell "a million" . What means it anyway? If the number of sold copies will raise significantly in the future then because of 60 oer 80% sales. The mayor turnover already happened, the important sale time is over. Obsidian made about 10 Million $, i thinks thats ok for an extremly niche game like Pillars. Relative high sale numbers like LoG 1 or D:OS where exceptionsm, there is a reason why the "cRPG" grenre is dead and crowdfuning was needed. This kind of gamers are now the main clientele for rpg´s : What exactly is the problem with "that kind of gamers?" All I see is a bunch of dudes holding controllers and a judgemental prick. Console Gamers, PPL that loves to "beat" games, Person with a low attention span, that expect hand holding, "social awareness" and epic presentation. I have no problem with them, except for the fact that this means that most games today are made for idiots. You really, really underestimate how much time is spent in game dev streamlining and compacting the gameplay and the mechanics as much as possible. Also, I'm autistic. I have low social awareness. So I'm not supposed to like PoE? What about those with ADHD? And you have no problem with them and yet you call those kinds of players idiots?

Also, what about the people (me included) that do one run just to finish the story, and the second to complete? And then the third to speed?

Um.... not even friggin' close, dude. Like.... just no. It's #10 on the Top 10.

Please, do find more ways to call people that don't play like you idiots.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I don't expect PoE numbers until they have an audience like E3.

People play how they want to.
