Gfted1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Huh, I hadn't seen this before: Godlike characters will receive certain boosts, but will be ineligible to wear garments/armors or receive any of those stat buffs. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 This could be great as long it is not like in other games when suddenly everyone knows what you did. Even when you come into a whole new town in which no one heard of you before I dunno. I think that sometimes that's the price you pay for some cool reactivity. Yeah, it's a shortcut, but it's necessary. While having each individual react to you is possible, it's a lot of hard work. At the end of the day, they need to do what works best for this game. And in the case of a faction system, this type of reputation system works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) long German Preview(with some mistakes): http://www.pcgames.de/Pillars-of-Eternity-PC-256319/News/Pillars-of-Eternity-in-der-E3-Vorschau-1125801/ They have problems to understand the mechanics of PoE(They say that you need stamina or mana to use abilities, both is wrong). new info tidbits: pop up menu for enemies with information like health, defenses, dt etc. skuldr were enemies in the cave There is a xaurip in the ruin(He was described as xaurip imp) there are three ways to escape the ruin: solve floor puzzle destroy a wall(e.g. with items or with enough might) get the help of the xaurip ( You must get him some food) Edited June 20, 2014 by Prometheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManifestedISO Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Huh, I hadn't seen this before: Godlike characters will receive certain boosts, but will be ineligible to wear garments/armors or receive any of those stat buffs. I know, my godlike dark paladin just about had a godlike heart attack at the thought of no armor. I haven't confirmed it, but surely that statement isn't entirely true. All Stop. On Screen.

MasterPrudent Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 That last German preview suggests that fighters can enchant their weapons with an ability called "Ghost Blades". That might be the thing that got called "Ghost Bleach" in the other German preview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist II Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I just realised what those 6 crystal pillars are at the camp from the start of the game. The choices you make in the game leads to one of the endings where your party is transported back in time and you and your party members are locked in a crystal each, fully aware but can only watch as you see your party arrive at the start of the adventure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I know, my godlike dark paladin just about had a godlike heart attack at the thought of no armor. If your dark paladin still possesses a heart, you're doing it wrong. I just realised what those 6 crystal pillars are at the camp from the start of the game.
