Cantousent Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) One thing I thought was actually quite clever in the trailer was the fast click demonstration of the dialogue and various things like scaling the wall to the dragon egg. At first I thought, "why aren't they showing the different RP ways to address some of these situations?" Then I realized that folks who would want those options will just freeze and blow up those images to see them. One thing I like about the game is that they didn't just give extra options. They also gave taking those extra options a real ol' skool RPG feel. It's like Darklands where you have multiple choices in how to handle various situations. It has a sort of table top vibe to it.

Silent Winter Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I guess keys for digital GoG copies backers are to receive are for the Champion Edition? I guess it depends which tier you backed - as a lowest tier backer (basic digital game copy), I'm expecting the 'Hero Edition' (it's there on gog but you have to find it via the news announcement - the big splash screen one just shows the Champion Edition). _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form*
Seari Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I didn't really expect a dragon since it's supposed to be a low to medium level adventure... I really would've preferred if they saved dragons for the sequel. I hope the companions get really scared when confronting it at least, like in BG2. Not like the snarky remarks in NwN2 when you face the red dragon. Edited November 12, 2014 by Seari 1

Not like the snarky remarks in NwN2 when you face the red dragon. Agree about NWN2 point. As for facing a dragon I think I took on BGII shadow dragon about level 10 or 11 which is in line with end levels of this game so mechanically it makes sense and I'm guessing for a lore / game setting perspective they've built in reasons too.
archangel979 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 You can also kill the red dragon in BG2 at levels 10+ if you got enough spellcasters.
Guard Dog Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Just saw the Trailer... LOVED it. This game looks beautiful. I knew the Infinity still had some life in it!

Bryy Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I didn't really expect a dragon since it's supposed to be a low to medium level adventure... Once again, this isn't true because this isn't based on any existing system. 2

Sonntam Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Props to Paradox. That was a good trailer. It's nice to see shots from the game, however I almost think too much was shown. Either way, there was nothing spectacular about this trailer. Paradox better do better. If they don't do something as good as their Crusader Kings 2 promotions, which are really the only good promotions I've ever seen them do, I'm going to say that Obsidian never should have partnered with them. Most of the stuff we've been shown comes from the backer beta. The only new things are maybe the dragons, the plant creatures and the Gilded Vale. Pretty little, if you ask me.
Elzarath Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Just re-watched trailer on laptop (was on phone before) - one of the characters (Chanter?) is level 6 so looks like Sky Dragon (that's its name in the trailer) is for mid level parties! Dragon hunting season is fast approaching
Sensuki Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 I don't know about that because it killed two characters in a single hit
mstark Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Lovely, but... 720p wat "What if a mid-life crisis is just getting halfway through the game and realising you put all your points into the wrong skill tree?"

Sedrefilos Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Nah, it;s on 1080p calm down Your link looks pretty 720p to me Don't watch it here on the forum - watch it straight to youtube. For some reason videos vewed here have only the 360p and 720p options. 1
mstark Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Neat, cheers for the 1080p Paradox link, the GOG version only goes up to 720p. "What if a mid-life crisis is just getting halfway through the game and realising you put all your points into the wrong skill tree?"
Trogdor Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Looking very nice! Really looking forward to this, and take all the time ya need Obsidian to get it right.

And I specifically didn't sign up for the backer beta as I didn't want to see that much of the game before it was released..... Didn't think I'd have to avoid watching trailers, but I guess I do.
Sedrefilos Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I can't say I was spolied by the trailer. It was 1 min long and it showed me glimpses. OK I saw snow, a cave, a dragon ot two, the outside of a building... These aren't spoilers. There asre teasers! Like I didn't expect to go into caves and fight dragons. Loved it. It made me want to play the game now without spoiling anything vital. Edited November 12, 2014 by Sedrefilos
Valsuelm Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Like I didn't expect to go into caves and fight dragons. But now you do. And that's exactly what a spoiler is.
Sedrefilos Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Like I didn't expect to go into caves and fight dragons. But now you do. And that's exactly what a spoiler is. That's what I said. That I expected to go into caves and fight dragons. I was sure this is going to be in. No spoiler there. Dunegons, caves, monsters... ok I know I'll be doing these thing. No spoiler. I'd be spoiled if they showed me something regarding the main story, or how to solve a crucial puzzle, or that a vital character does something I wouldn't expect them to do... These are spoilers. Glipmses of monsters and magic effects are not. At least not for me.
Lephys Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I didn't really expect a dragon since it's supposed to be a low to medium level adventure... I really would've preferred if they saved dragons for the sequel. Yeah... I mean, if they make the narrative too long, it might just dragon and on... 6_u 2 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
Leferd Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Good sign that PoE Champion Ed. is #1 and the Hero Ed. is #19 on the GOG bestseller list and is also #14 on the Steam popular list after one day of preorder availability. 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
