Crucis Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Any projected time frame on the expansion? Late 2015? Next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Any projected time frame on the expansion? Late 2015? Next year? From the youtube comments: “The White March: Part 1,” will extend the story and experience of Pillars of Eternity, as well as adding a higher level cap, new abilities, new companions, and more to the game. The expansion, originally offered as a pledge add-on during the game’s incredibly successful crowdfunding campaign, was revealed by Obsidian and Paradox at E3, and will be coming soon for Windows, Max, and Linux PC. So not soon enough to be anything other than "soon". Edited June 17, 2015 by Bubbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 WTH is durgan steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopleDoople Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm curious if we're going to get a new class added. Twelve would be a nice even number and a new class would add replay value to the base Pillars of Eternity game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzarath Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It didn't really show much. Immediate thought before watching trailer (already read your comments) GoT expansion? White Walkers, The Wall, Valyrian Steel. Very IWD feel: Mountains, Snow, that chapter 6 underground mine / forge. New companions? So more than one. Hmm, wild speculation based on 'The White Forge' and 'The Builders' and based on that character portrait of one of the companions that didn't make it in, I'm guessing we'll see the Devil of Caroc? Wonder if another companion will appear based on a class not currently covered, Barbarian type? Not fully across PoE lore so not sure what's in that part of the world. Hopefully new enemy types, I'd expect some would be based on location & climate. Exciting that we're finally hearing something about it but not blown away. Why do I need to help you, your dying town and old forge? What's Durgan Steel do that the rest can't? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 What's Durgan Steel do that the rest can't? More damage, presumably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elzarath Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 What's Durgan Steel do that the rest can't? More damage, presumably. Or more protection. Or maybe a BMU (BG2:ToB style). Or some badass Animat stuff. Maybe someone built a robot army and they need to be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowTiger Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think its a little weird that its part 1. I assume it will be 2 parts, maybe they intend the expansion to be really big so they split it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Durgan Steel is the new town. So it sounds like it's an add-on rather than a post-campaign adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzarath Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Ok, thanks for clarification Bryy. EDIT: wait a sec, sounds like she says her town of Durgan Battery(?) and then, 'the secrets of Durgan Steel, the forge must burn again' so now I don't know. You're not lion, are you? I'll just wait for next Kickstarter update. ShadowTiger, Obsiadian mentioned somewhere that to get the expansion out sooner they'd split it into two parts. So, combined, they make the whole expansion but to give everyone access to new content sooner they've split the expansion into two. Side note: you'll get both parts if you've already backed the expansion during kickstarter. Edited June 17, 2015 by Elzarath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manageri Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I was really hoping the story would be with a new character. Could also do without a higher level cap tbh, which we all know will just screw up balance completely and result in the expansion being a total cakewalk (as evidenced by all "epic level" campaigns ever).

SpectreX Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Not really impressed by the trailer or any information given. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I'm not excited for new content. Definitely have my support and I for one will be excited to play this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badmojo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Part 1? uggh, please do not say we are doing episodic content for expansions, that...just no. On a side note, they are partnering up with paradox interactive which is exciting because they are the ones with the amazing crusader kings II franchise. I am very interested in the details of how that partnership will work, if PI gets to put its own content in, then I hope to see obsidian give them free reign and let them put whatever they want in and not try to micromanage or censor their content.

Verenti Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Out of all that we've seen announced at E3, this expansion, which I already knew that it was coming as I've already bought it, is the thing I'm most excited for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrcrazypa Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 WTH is durgan steel? Durgan Steel was something they mentioned during the Kickstarter campaign that just didn't make it into the game. It was supposed to be the best quality steel, just no longer found anymore, since the people who produced it have long since died out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So more writing in this than main game... interesting. Don't play it safe this time Obsidian! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryukenden Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) I seen the trailer. Quite interesting. It seems that this is currently their only cinematic for this IP. I'm guessing their budget have expanded. Although, the "part 1" in the tittle makes me a bit nervous. I wonder what is the reason for that.

Moriendor Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 They already said back in April that the expansion would be split in two to be able to deliver new content sooner. This is nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
