Pope Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 This game is actually starting to sound like it has potential. I especially like the idea that it'll be shorter with lots more replay value. I only managed to play PoE once because of the length and am not prepared to sink another 100ish hours into it just to see some small variations in the quests.

mindswayer Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) I can't help but express my frustration at them insisting on Unity 4. That engine is a proper turd. Just use Unity 5. It's much more efficient than unity 4. God damn. Edited May 29, 2016 by mindswayer I hate Unity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they ever mentioned the engine version, only that they're using Unity and the stuff they built for Pillars of Eternity? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Flouride Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Was Unity 5 even out when they started working on the game? I would imagine changing engine version mid development isn't all that easy. Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganrich Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Was Unity 5 even out when they started working on the game? I would imagine changing engine version mid development isn't all that easy. No, I don't believe it was out. It isn't easy to change during development, but it's been done. It's hard to say because we don't have a definitive date for this project's beginning afaik. I know Star Citizen has done it (they've also been converting their version of CryEngine to entirely 64bit), but that's a huge difference in resources for Obsidian compared to Cloud Imperium.

If you have tight budget and schedule you just can't afford "setbacks" like switching engine in the middle of the development phase. Very early on into development, sure, but later on not really. 1 Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obyknven Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Central character is obvous reference to Roman Legionnaire, but... this concept art look not cool really. I meant this good looks like weirdo cosplayer instead of badass guy. Why Roman Legions has been scary someday? Because they is quintessence of militarism - they kill your daddy, raep your mommy and turn you to slavery, ... but today they looks too obsolete -in modern times we have new "heroes". Because of this Jack Kirby drawing Romans in modern style (for 70s) Actually Obsidians just can use modern Legionaries of Third Rome instead - they looks much more badass anyway.

I mean, yeah, it's possible to have some skilled female fighters but so many of them? No way. And I'm not against having some powerful women in fantasy (or other genres, for that matter) games, but making them equal to men in mere physical strenght is beyond retarded.

Gromnir Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Uh...it's a fantasy world with magic. You can believe that people shoot fire out of their fingers, but it is retarded for women to have the same stats as men? more significant is that tyranny is a game with a magical setting. in the real world, men are stronger and typically better than women at activities that would be mimicking combat. it is a scary truth for most women that the average man is considerable stronger than is they-- ask any woman that has been physical assaulted by a man just how terrifying the truth can be. past pee-wee ages in sports, girls/women become a handicap on a sport team comprised primarily o' men. that is reality and the reality for women kinda sucks in regards to physical strength and athletic abilities. but guess what? tyranny is a game. is games that allows people to be something they ain't and do things they could never do in real life. in reality women is weaker and less physical capable than is men. so what? why on earth would a game developer wanna tell potential female gamers that if they desire to create a female game character, their choice is gonna be handicapped compared to a male character? what possible reason is there gonna be to effective handicap female characters? some misplaced notion o' verisimilitude? biology and physics is ubiquitous hurdles to women in the real world. in a game world, biology and physics is the developer's sock puppets. if Gromnir were a woman, we would likely fume and rage at the manifest unfairness o' the real universe. 'course, who claimed that the universe were fair, eh? well, obsidian is the folks creating the tyranny universe, and it is a game universe. kinda an integral quality o' successful games is that they is fundamental fair. always strikes us as jackarse stoopid when developers force women to be weaker or slower or less athletic in a game. freaking unclear on concept o' games to even consider such silliness... not to mention complete oblivious to concerns o' potential female purchasers.

Revan91 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The fact that some women can train themselves and defeat males in battle/combat does not mean that the average woman is stronger than a man nor that she's more apt to military activities. Also, Tiranny being a fantasy game does not make any less dumb having elite soldier groups or amies filled with women. Humans in fantasy games and books have the same physical traits than us real humans, so men are usually taller, larger and stronger (and anyone who has spent even one day in his/her life practicing or even watching some martial arts/combat sport knows how much those traits are important... spoiler: it's why we have weight classes in boxing, MMA, etc.). Some women could become good fighters, but most will just be worse than the average dude and will have to make other career paths (be it something that involves politics and intrigues, magic, charming, and so on), possibly gaining even more money and power than by joining the army.
