Chris Avellone MIGS 2013


Recommended Posts

Here are the pictures of the two new sceneries and the two companion/npc pics for those who just want to see the goods.
I think I missed a concept art somewhere though.

Avellone's talk was also pretty interesting, but there was also a lot of stuff that was retreads of what he's already said.


Edit: to save space and for those who might not want to see the companion pics before the game comes out.

When in doubt, blame the elves.

 

I have always hated the word "censorship", I prefer seeing it as just removing content that isn't suitable or is considered offensive

the black female is looking pretty interesting and unique :)

 

overall the whole presentation just is pure gold, I've seen dedicated comedians do worse as far as entertainment value goes

Chris is awesome at doing this kind of stuff, even if there has been little new information in the presentation for us well informed guys of course

I agree, I love that one. She's possibly an air-element Godlike, judging by the feathers.

The companion portraits are Kaz's work, I believe.

Though the high collar, plate armour and her being black would also speak for Vailian. Maybe sort of both?

Thanks for posting! Audience seems a little tepid so far, but I always like listening to him speak. :)

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

What I like about the portraits is that they look closer to actual portraits than what was featured in the BG series.

Race/ethniticity and culture are different things in P:E. So you can be a vailian and a pale elf. Godlikes have different parent races and types.

 

She could be a vailian air godlike with the parent race ocean human.

Personally I don't think they *beat* Icewind Dale. They are more detailed and a different style. I still very much appreciate the IWD designs.

 

What he has done is taken the BG1 style to the next level.

I find the style highly different from BG1. I don't like the BG portraits much at all TBH. Airbrush a go go. These are more painterly and naturalistic at the same time, which is a tough act to pull off. Great expressions too, with lots of personality.

I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com

Agreed, as much as I would've liked to see IWD style portaits in PE, I really like these!

These are quite similar to what we had in BG, but much, much better.

A couple of the BG1 portraits are really good - such as the Edwin one. But there are some less good ones as well.

 

Btw that black chick is a godlike I'm 95% sure - look at her jawline - clearly peacøck style feathers are part of her face.
