Sannom Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The last words of the narrator on this video, "How could we have known that the fate of thousands would rest in your hands?" Isn't the answer to this provided in the video itself, because that's part of his job as a Fatebinder? Seems a little silly to not know that. I think that nobody expected the situation that arose around that specific Fatebinder : two Archons in charge of the conquest who hate each other and allow for a rebellion to arise (the rebellion's leader in one of the gameplay videos even imply that the Voices of Nerat helped them to thrive), forcing the Fatebinder to take an even bigger role than they usually do.

soulcycle Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Pre-ordered the lowest/basic edition on GOG Was going to as well, then I read the min specs. I know Unity is a bit of a pig, but 6 GB of RAM seems a little excessive. So it'll have to wait until I replace my 10 year old (in ten days time) computer which will probably be Jan/ Feb when Zen is released. If it will use Unity 5.x, I think performance should be OK.

I've no doubt you're correct Mr Sannom, but this Fatebinder holding the fate of thousands in his hands for different reasons than the other Fatebinders who hold the lives of thousands in their hands...well it doesn't strike me as particularly informative or logical to mention. Obviously I don't know if the fate off the Tiers will be decided by our protagonist, but if so then perhaps a more specific summation would be, "How could we have known that the hopes of the last free nation on Terratus would rest in your hands?" Though obviously better written than my weak prose. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes.

So it'll have to wait until I replace my 10 year old (in ten days time) computer which will probably be Jan/ Feb when Zen is released. I can't - and haven't - even played Pillars of Eternity yet because I've been stuck with integrated graphics from 2006 or 2007 for the past few years. Plus an Athlon 64 X2, which is apparently way below the minimum for all the games I pledged too that supposedly would not have high system requirements. I can't figure out what is different about these role-playing games of today compared to yesterday besides the graphics. I will probably buy the game even if my PC can't run it now, though. I will have a PC capable of playing it eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterPrudent Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Interesting fact gleaned from all these previews: Tyranny has a Fallout-esque timer. (Eight days before everyone dies. Time only passes when you travel between maps.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonek Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Interesting fact gleaned from all these previews: Tyranny has a Fallout-esque timer. (Eight days before everyone dies. Time only passes when you travel between maps.) Yes, this is a tremendous plus for the game in my personal opinion, I adore the strategising and optimal gameplay decisions that time constraints force on me. In BG2 for instance my playthrough was molded through completing the various companion quests before the timers ran out, be that Yoshimo involving me in Shadow Thief business as I am about to leave for my stronghold quest, from there finding Edwin and accepting his quest, being reminded by Korgan that he has business in the Government district or plumbing the Graveyard for Korgan and Edwin. RPGs need more strictures, punishments for failure and failure states in my opinion. Also get rid of quest markers, as always. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

As time doesn't pass like in Fallout it should really not be much of a constraint. It will just encourage you to everything before you leave an area.

MasterPrudent Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Also I believe it doesn't last the entire game. They've shown the event that lifts the edict (the thing that kills everyone in eight days) in previews and it would be rather odd to show off the end of the game...

Nonek Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Re the tooltip exposition: Can one turn off this feature and just rely on either reading the manual to accrue that knowledge, as with great old classic games where preparing for the game merited an exhaustive and satisfying perusal? Or can one simply rely on good worldbuilding and excellent design to provide backstory and detail, as the best of games demonstrate? I'm not a fan of clumsy exposition in any form, especially not this tasteless MMO variety of pop up mid dialogue. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Fenixp Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Someone finally opted to use the Great Power of Hyperlink. It's not like the concept was known for like 50 years or anything.
