I had absolutely no Idea you were making games like this (or at all really) If not for Tyranny popping up in a GOG newsletter. These kinds of games have always been my favourite..lol   Black Isle, Bioware, Obsidian Entertainment. Old School games like this are still awesome to me. Honestly, its not like i live under a rock or something...lol

 

Anyways, I'm enjoying Pillars. I immediately snapped it up on Halloween and its awesome. The level of detail is incredible. I sincerely hope you continue to make awesome games like this. If you make it, I will buy...lol   

 

I'm pretty much set to by Tyranny OE on the 9th

 

Welcome Back Obsidian and Mr. Urquhart (and team)

We'll it's been a revival of the genre since like 2012. There are many other iso-rpgs like pillars by other companies. I don't know if you knew and just didn't know about Pillars. If you don't then you can check out Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns, Divinity Original Sin and others that I might not remember now

Obsidian made Neverwinter Nights 2 in 2006, which actually still has a pretty large community. I don't think Black Isle exists anymore. Same for Interplay.

No one sent you the memo?

Nope, no memo's...lol I have NWN 2 but not its expansions.

Yeah, it is a great time to be an isometric rpg enthusiast!

After almost a decade of nothing, we are finally getting some amazing titles.

I strongly hope that both Pillars and Tyranny will spawn their own long-lasting series, so we'll have something to play for years to come.

Nope, no memo's...lol I have NWN 2 but not its expansions.

Do yourself a favor and get Mask of The Betrayer asap.. One of the best rpgs in the last 10 years

I was just about to post the same thing. mark of the Betrayer is really, really good!

Its been in my Steam Wishlist for many years. EA moved almost everything to origin. I try really hard not to buy digital from non steam sources. Everybody and their mother have digital distribution apps and its a little anoying being forced to have them all installed...lol

There's a complete edition over at GOG. If you're unfamiliar with GOG, they sell games completely DRM free, with none of these digital distribution apps required - you just download install files, you can do this directly through your browser, and then you can burn them to a CD/DVD or save them on a thumb drive or wherever else you'd like. These files are yours to keep. If GOG ever goes bankrupt and ceases to exist, you can still install NWN2: Complete Edition or anything else you buy from GOG and remember to back up.

 

Incidentally, Tyranny will also be released over there. (you'll have to wait a few days longer for GOG to release patches tho.)

what format is the soundtrack on gog? Same as steam? Pillars was both mp3 and flac on steam. Was it the same on GOG?

Yes, if you check out extras section of the game page, it lists flac soundtrack as well as mp3 - for both NWN2 and Pillars. I assume Tyranny'll be the same.

 

Edit: Actually, for NWN2. the game page mentions 3 soundtracks in mp3 and original soundtrack in flac.

I actually want to get that, just due to Obsidian. I'll be picking up a GOG copy before too long. I loved the first one, too.
