Party management in quests
Quillon replied to Stef's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
While I also hate choosing between available companions and have mentioned it here somewhere more than once in the past, I don't particularly like your solutions. My solutions are better than yours and also my dad could beat up your dad. Found my past comments about this: -
Crappy WL2's sequel got 3.1m or something. Why should Obs think smaller for PoE 2 like 1 mil? They should ask for 3 at least. I don't wanna see a game with so few innovations if not at all. Otherwise **** crowdfunding, they could make the same quality game with only the profits of PoE 1, what's the point for second crowdfunding for a successful game if not to increase its budget? And its too late anyway, they won't change their plans 1 day prior to figstarter. Fig was found because they want to fund bigger games, eventually AAAs after all.

I don't think Obs'd try to crowdfund a 3rd action console RPG so I wonder who the publisher is? If it is Paradox why wouldn't it be Vampire? Or its Paradox but another WW IP or original IP? Any guesses? Bethesda? SEGA!!!? Activision-Blizzard? Since Feargus said they would add to their audience with big single player RPG and they have Boyarskonektion with them. EA? ATARI? My.com? Ubisoft? Squenix? Microsoft? lol

Why Not Both?
Quillon replied to CursedByLight's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I know a lot of people who are tired of high fantasy. Some of them didn't get excited for Tyranny and are not even for PoE 2 neither(unlike me) and they are backers PoE1. I see people wanting Pathfinder cRPG here(I don't, I know nothing about PF and I'm getting tired of HF also) but I don't know if they are enough for Obs to make their third different high fantasy cRPG in a row. [if the gods won't answer]Its for Obs to decide naturally. Also we don't know if AW team consists of RPG devs that can make an RPG comparable to PoE & Tyranny mostly on their own(They could need vets from other teams I guess). I'd rather see Obs make better quality games(AA>AAA) with bigger budgets(prev. profits + crowdfunding) with each iteration otherwise there are a lot of indie RPG devs, Obs would slowly be considered of them(Which is not necessarily a bad thing but yeah...). Edit: Unless they're making a 3rd Action RPG for consoles tho, ha! good fun! Also Sawyer's historical RPG better be in 19th century otherwise PoE is also taking place in 15-16th century equivalent time frame. Seems like a bad idea, however different it would be. -

Although, now it hit me(cos I was in that link below); there is this cancelled Post Apoc. game of Troika's, maybe they already figured out what to make for a post apoc. game that isn't Fallout or WL. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/90706-hey-obsidian-how-about-a-sequel-to-arcanum/?p=1869064 And from an interview 12 years ago... http://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/28286-troikas-unannounced-post-apocalyptic-rpg-interview/page-2.html -
The one before that suggested Rauatai, we're not assuming the game's gonna take place there :D And the one before that was again related to Vailia. I think we'll start in Vailia(maybe in Revua /Josh was at that location less than a year ago on Twitter) and board a ship to Deadfire Arc. where most of the **** will go down. And the factions(or maybe companions) from the last two images are simply sent there from their motherlands since Deadfire Arc. seems to be contested. Wildly guessing.

Still I think it would be too hard to side-step Wasteland's and especially Fallout's lore for Obs devs to differentiate their hypothetical post-apoc IP without making it bland as f*** or too unfamiliar. Agreed. -

Yeah. People are hoping for a sequel to New Vegas. What, like a spiritual isometric Fallout? Somehow I doubt Obs would ever do that. They'd also have to compete with Wasteland. I can't see Obs pissing on Beth and InExile at the same time or individually. PoE's profitability is not my opinion, Feargus said it in an interview. Owning another IP without crowdfunding is hard. Whatever their secret project is, either there is already a deal with a publisher or they are preparing it for figstarter. My money is on publisher since Obs is more reluctant to enter crowdfunding again with anything other than PoE otherwise they could have easily funded Tyranny through it. Instead they made a stand with not entering crowdfunding again before they delivered. We'll see how it will/if it will pay off in the coming PoE 2 figstarter.
