Quest & Area Design/Layout - BG1 style vs BG2 / IWD style
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think doing more content-rich versions of BG areas would be optimal.

Has Project Eternity been silently delayed?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm pretty sure that they will have it cranked out by 2014. If they don't I won't have anything good to play.

Dragon Age III / The Witcher 3 trailers. Impressions?
Good idea. Instead of dealing with **** like women being forced to marry their rapists, we can complain on the internet and declare mission accomplished when Bioware covers up dem tittays.

You can get all of the benefits for $10 cheaper with some simple modding. Although I picked it up for $10 o Steam, but still haven't gotten around to playing it.- What you did today

Dude we're on the internet, which is practically a sea of self-righteousness.- Dragon Age III / The Witcher 3 trailers. Impressions?
and here's Deus Ex design doc by comparison: I assume that the ME document is full of love confession scenes and that they figure the rest of the game will somehow turn out all right. Honestly, I'd prefer Fallout to explore other areas than what has already done. Maybe the next one should be in Mexico... Still, if Obsidian is behind it, it will be damn good.- Internet vs. debates
Well, when the Big 2 are being run by the same people who were behind the 90s and all the gimmicky stuff, I don't see how it could be any other way. Then, even if someone likes most of the content, comics are $2.99 or $3.99 a pop, which is pretty damn expensive. Getting into comics is harder than ever because a potential new reader will be eithernconfused or bored by the content of a comic, keeping up with comics will be too expensive for them, and deciding which of the 11 Batman series, 6(soon to be Avengers series, 7 X-Men series it is best that they keep up with may be a daunting task.- Internet vs. debates
Who do you think would win in a fight, this thread or Hurlshot's RV Trip thread? Right now its mostly "What else will DC break with their New 52"... I'm seeing more "how long until the next DC reboot", "I wonder what series will be replaced by Batman next", and "When will Peter be back as Spider-Man", although that is definitely common.- Dragon Age III / The Witcher 3 trailers. Impressions?
I think that they believed that Mass Effect was the way to go, and DA2 was an attempt to refocus the franchise around "fantasy Shepard". I think Zor and Gorth make good points about DA2's changes for the worse, they had a combat system that needed a fair bit of tweaking, but didn't need to be thrown out in favor of a terrible action/party-based system that doesn't work well as either. I do think that dramatic changes to the art style harm a series as a whole. I blame Morrigan's terrible look on the engine more than art style or artist ability, but IMO that doesn't really excuse it if they can do better. Gaider trying to blame complaints about how she looks on misogyny is intellectually dishonest at best and classless demonizing at worst. This isn't any different from people complaining about a badly drawn picture. On the whole I'm not very optimistic for DA, which I did enjoy the first title(even if it was more "fantasy KOTOR" than "BG spiritual successor" IMO), because instead of sticking to the original concept of the series, the devs seem keen on reinventing it with almost every title.- Will we ever see an RPG with realistic combat mechanics?
QFT. If I wanted to play a realism simulator where the party would most likely die slowly and painfully from an infection if they were hit, I would get my head examined. I play video games to have fun, not to see my party slowly rotting away because they were nicked by an arrow and didn't bathe in suitably clean water(something that has been relatively rare until recently) or some other realism induced death.- What you did today
- Dragon Age III / The Witcher 3 trailers. Impressions?
Fixed. Of all the things Bioware was inconsistent about DA2, the art direction was the least problem.True, it seems that they want to change almost every aspect of each release in the series. Which IMO sort of defeats the purpose of having a series. To score points with people who see misogyny around every corner?- Holy Avenger
What I meant when I said that they had the weakest kit was, simply they had a weak kit. Everything that a paladin could do a cleric could do better. The only good thing the paladin had was lay on hands. The biggest weakness for me was their inability to dual class I dunno, Inquisitor was excellent with the "super-dispell" and true sight. YMMV.- Project Eternity @ Rezzed
If they are going to reveal something big, I doubt they would want to spoil it too early.- Has Anyone Watched Fringe?
- Update #56: Paladins and Wild Orlans
- level design
I do agree that non-linear level design is optimal in most cases, although I wouldn't mind a few areas that are fairly linear. Oh and OP, there is a thread in computer and console right now about DA3 actually. I think it could benefit from your perspective, seeing as you made a very long video about the flaws of DA2.- Dragon Age III / The Witcher 3 trailers. Impressions?
I think he is crusading against linear level design in PE mechanics. Someone should really nudge him to this thread...
