More expansions? Campaign editor?

[haveahappy]

Any idea if there are any more expansions planned?

I know WM2 isn't here yet, and there's already talk about PoE2, so I'm concerned that the PoE1 content will dry up

 

Is there anything else planned after the White March is done? Or will be see a campaign editor released where players can create their own campaign content?

Probably not. Josh Sawyer said on another forum that we'll probably see a bugfixing patch or so after WM2 but then they'd like to move on to new stuff.

Everything I have seen, including tweets from the project lead Josh Sawyer indicates that there will be no more expansions for PoE after TWM.

 

Also I don't think there will be a campaign editor or any official tools.

Here's hoping for PoE2 then!

 

I really like when a game sort of self-perpetuates, even after the devs move on.

 

Oh well.

No more expansion I guess, but we're gonna hear probably about PoE 2 sometime after the 2nd part of the expansion in out.

2 expansions is enough I think. Let's move on to POE2.

No more expansion I guess, but we're gonna hear probably about PoE 2 sometime after the 2nd part of the expansion in out.

That would be great.

 

I'm thrilled about a second chapter in this universe, hopefully the parallelism with BG 1-2 will stay true, so we are in for a true masterpiece!

 

Also, if they decide to kickstart it (or part of it), I'll be able to partecipate this time.

Sawyer said in a recent interview that if they're going for a sequel (hinting that they're going for a sequel ) it'll be in a very different place, they way Amn was different that the Sword Coast, yet near it. We'll have to see.

I came across a great article regarding the making of an old cult classic RPG, Dungeon Master: http://www.filfre.net/2015/12/dungeon-master-part-1-the-making-of/

 

This is a game that takes up a mere 400k on a one-sided disk, and take a look at the amount of source code that was written:

 

 

 

Just something I thought would be of interest considering the posts of late, regarding expansions, a sequel, and of course, some complaints about a weak story, or weak NPC dialogue, or lack of population in places like Defiance Bay, etc. I am willing to bet that the source code for PoE is more than 5 of those binders. Hell, the current state of Defiance Bay's code is probably enough to fill just one of those binders...

I've heard that modding of all sorts will be much easier if they switch to Unity 5 for PE2.

I'm eager to move on to PoE 2. I like PoE a lot and all, but it's got a goodly number of flaws. Experience with the game, plus hopefully 'real' funding, should lead to PoE 2 going from 'good' to 'great.'

Do we have anymore information on POE2? Like will we be playing the same protagonist or is there going to be a new protagonist? I would prefer to play the same protagonist, but I'm fine either way that they decide to do it.

I think the only thing we've heard is that Josh said somewhere that he'd like the idea to import your save to PoE2 which would, I guess, likely mean keeping the same character.

 

I believe that's the most conclusive we've heard. Things could always change.
