darkling.lithely 16 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I was looking for news for a PoE3 and found this speech from 1981 instead: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/bruce-r-mcconkie/three-pillars-eternity/ "The three pillars of eternity, the three events, preeminent and transcendent above all others, are the creation, the fall, and the atonement. These three are the foundations upon which all things rest. Without any one of them all things would lose their purpose and meaning, and the plans and designs of Deity would come to naught." I think Eothas is aware, so I thought I'd share. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xzar_monty 631 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 This was interesting in the sense that I never knew the term "pillars of eternity" was around before this game. Did you people know this? Would be nice to hear! My ignorance is probably explained by the fact that most of the religious knowledge I have is not in English. That is, I have not read the Bible or other religious works in that language. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boeroer 15,216 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 In the early days of the game, sometimes when I googled about "Pillars of Eternity" some weird stuff came up. The results sounded like esoterical nonsense mostly so I didn't bother looking further into it. What really annoyed me though is that when I googled "PoE" only Path of Exile results were shown. 1 1 Quote Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to post Share on other sites
asnjas 113 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yes, everyone knows the bible without reading it and what pillars of eternity means in a vague sense. Most pretentious boards ive ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ethics Gradient 2,412 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Honestly, as a BYU speech, the link above probably has much more in common with the New Vegas: Honest Hearts DLC than anything Pillars. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkling.lithely 16 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 I was kinda making PoE, PoE2, and (the) PoE3 (of my dreams) analogous with creation, fall, and atonement. It was working for me at the time with the "purpose and meaning...would come to naught" given Eothas' designs for disruption. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
