Bester Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) The new name has so much Freudian in it... Not that I mind. I got a "pillar" for this game anyway. Edited October 30, 2013 by Bester IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link
Pipyui Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) To my eye, I'm less confused by the mild disrepair of the stronghold walls as to the odd lack of rubble their holes have. Chunks are torn out of this wall, but there's not a misplaced brick to be seen. I can imagine others coming along to collect stone for other works, as history shows happens quite frequently, but then why just the rubble? That makes no sense to me. Did the previous inhabitants clean it up then go, "Well, guess we're done here" and leave? Were they conquered in seige shortly after clearing it up, whereafter all parties just up and vamoosed? NOW I NEED TO KNOW. And I know this is dumb, but I wouldn't mind if the wall repairs appeared in a slightly "off" color, as to show difference in age or material. Just a thought. But great update! Lovin that stronghold! Edited October 30, 2013 by Pipyui 1
DCParry Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 The hedge maze and amphitheatre are both mechanical upgrades to the stronghold. They can provide bonuses to characters who rest at the stronghold: Stealth for the hedge maze and Intellect for the amphitheatre. To be technical, it is a theatre, not an amphitheatre in the picture. You need to mirror the structure for an amphitheatre. Great update and good looking design for the backer pages. I hate to nitpick (oh, the IRONY), but can we get another screenshot background already? =) I mean, that one is pretty and all, but we have had it for a while. Maybe an Orlon frolic scene?
dodusieczek Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 But Hector: everyone knows that BG2 is the best Infinity Engine game. And more than that, it's the best game ever made so far.... :D Tottaly agree.
rjshae Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks for the update, guys! The finished stronghold section looks fantastic. But somehow I was expecting the ruined stronghold to look a little more, well... ruined. But we're not seeing the entire scene so maybe the walls are more disintegrated elsewhere. Anyway, keep up the good work! "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
J.E. Sawyer Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Yes. I was using the terms that the poster before me was using. The upgrade is actually called "Forum" in-game. twitter tyme
Orogun01 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Yes. I was using the terms that the poster before me was using. The upgrade is actually called "Forum" in-game. Any chance for a fan's graveyard, a la Arcanum? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
AGX-17 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 10/29/13 will forever be remembered as the Great Hedgemaze Freakout of '13. When we're all doddering old coots, we'll see hedgemaze freakouts and scoff, telling the kids that the Hedgemaze Kerfuffle of of 2038 is nothing compared to that day in October of '13. 2
aelreth Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 So it's Baldur's Gate 3 The black Hound hmm google what can you say!
injurai Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Pillars of Eternity. Thats pretty awesome and has the same ring as Project Eternity. Thing is I think Project Eternity is ingrained into my mind now.
MasterPrudent Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I solemnly swear to never again cause mass confusion by calling a theatre or forum an amphitheatre ever again. 7
Tuckey Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 @MasterPrudent As long as you Forum-ly swear I guess that's okay 3
Azure79 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Excellent. Can't wait for the big update. Stronghold looks great as well 1
kspn Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Excellent. Can't wait for the big update. Stronghold looks great as well I am looking forward to seeing EVEN MORE, the teasers so far have just been taunting us :D
Sensuki Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Interviews are good fill-in updates, there's still a few long-time members of the team we haven't met yet . Was looking forward to this one. 1
Ineth Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 The stronghold screenshots look... a-maze-ing! You sir cuddly-pink-hippo-thing, are a pun master But Hector: everyone knows that BG2 is the best Infinity Engine game. Hm, I'm partial to the IWD games myself. If only they'd had a real party NPC system and some more mage-vs-mage action, I would rate them above BG2 without a second thought (although I do really like that game too)...

AGX-17 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I solemnly swear to never again cause mass confusion by calling a theatre or forum an amphitheatre ever again. A theater and a forum are different things, too. So don't call a theater a forum, or vice versa. 2
Silent Winter Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks for the update - looking good _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form*
Bli1942 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Anyone got the link for the backer site?I am also wondering about this, but I think that just maybe it isn't yet released and this is only a preview It is. Backer site will be part of the big update. I can see loads of people complaining if the big update ends up only being the backer site and not gameplay video haha
exodiark Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) dat 7 o'clock chest hair Great stronghold :D, will be waiting for next update EDIT: A minor feedback for the WIP, there's something weird about the cart tracks at the main gate, it's kinda cut off. Edited October 30, 2013 by exodiark 1
Monte Carlo Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 The hedge maze and amphitheatre are both mechanical upgrades to the stronghold. They can provide bonuses to characters who rest at the stronghold: Stealth for the hedge maze and Intellect for the amphitheatre. Cheeky little RTS elements. I like. You're such a flirt, Sawyer.
SophosTheWise Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Well, that was pretty big for a small update. I'm glad. Loving the WIP.
Addon Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Very good update. And teaser pictures of stronghold are the best. Interested if maze, forum etc. can be upgraded?
Merlkir Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 The cookbook will be called "Pastries of Eternity." Mr. Tim Cain, please make it so! :D 4 ======================================http://janpospisil.daportfolio.com/ - my portfoliohttp://janpospisil.blogspot.cz/ - my blog
Messier-31 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) MFW stronghold has a maze: I know, right?! The stronghold screenshots look... a-maze-ing! Hedge maze hedge maze HEDGE MAZE! Hopefully, as an alternative to keeping prisoners in cells under your keep, you can just fill the hedge maze with traps and throw the prisoners in there! Stronghold quest numer 1: We want... a shrubbery! . . . I have a question. Do people like me have the same fullfilment site rights as everyone? backed the project via PayPal during the Kickstarter campaign; didn't backed the project via Kickstarter; not a slacker-backer. Edited October 30, 2013 by Messier-31 5 It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
