Selky Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 This was a pleasant surprise, I was expecting much later than that. Now to go finish off my current playthrough in preparation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanawatzin Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yeah I also have to finish my current playthrough 'cause this will be the one with which I'm planning to start my adventure with Deadfire. :3 #orlanbabyftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinowek Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Sweet, now if I can just finish my two runs in Pillars 1 before April 3rd... who am I kidding, we can probably add a few weeks or a month to that, for patches. :| Seriously though, I'm looking forward to Pillars 2 with great anticipation. I'm also expecting some launch day build issues, as par for the course, but I'll probably start a playthrough the second the download finishes anyway.

daven Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm getting pretty tired of seeing 3 versions of every game these guys bring out. The tat added onto the more expensive versions is not worth the money at all. But I guess geeks like to have every bit of tat thrown at them. nowt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no problem here, since standard edition is fairly priced. You can buy that, and let the geeks buy expensive editions, if they feel it's worth it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rheingold Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I don't mind if it ends up like White March which was a great expansion - and yes it was an expansion, not a dlc. I will be a bit bummed if the dlc is now horse armour for example.... but I have way more faith in Obs than that. I expect an expansion, probably a bit smaller than White March either in 3 parts or 2 with the 3rd being a small dlc package - a shopkeeper for example. I'd just relax until we get confirmation from the devs, no reason to panic until someone yells "fire" 2 "Those who look upon gods then say, without even knowing their names, 'He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction. She is Love.' So, to reply to your statement, they do not call themselves gods. Everyone else does, though, everyone who beholds them.""So they play that on their fascist banjos, eh?""You choose the wrong adjective.""You've already used up all the others.” Lord of Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedrefilos Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Well, if they add a dlc with an additional class, yes, I wouldn't like that. If they add a dlc with a bunch of extra fancy items here and there I wouldn't care; won't spend money on that. Hopefully the dlcs they're talking about are fair to meaty expansions (even more hopefuly they have post-finish value!) White March style.

Mannock Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Anyone think it’s a little fast? Maybe I’m just a pessimest. I think we are so used these days to games being delayed, so when a game does release according to plan we get almost surprised about it. It's up to each and everyone to either be happy about it or become suspicious. I prefer happy in this case. I'll do it, for a turnip.

injurai Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Wait... is the DLC the same thing or a different thing to the planned expansion(s)? At first I thought it was the same, but maybe it's different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Is there going to be a Pillars of Eternity Guidebook Volume Two? I mean a hardcover dead tree version? That was great to have for the first game. I don't see it on Amazon yet. Edited January 26, 2018 by Valmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was great to have for the first game. I don't see it on Amazon yet. It was available as an add-on in the Fig campaign, so they're certainly printing some of them. But I'm not sure whether that necessarily means that they'll be selling it retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could just print out the soft version and put it in a binder. Not the same though. Edit: I just got it as an add-on to my pledge, just in case.

Sonntam Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Folks, this is Obsidian. After the kind of DLC content we got for F:NV and PoE I am absolutely confident they will provide good stuff. I never felt ripped off with them, so I don't see a reason to mistrust them now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arh Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'd love to pre-order Deadfire. I loved Pillars 1 and really want to support Obsidian's work. Unfortunately the political messages in Tyranny have made me worry. Whether you agree or not, those messages are condescending and break suspension of disbelief. I'll make my decision once some trusted critics have had a look at the game. Do the right thing guys. Keep your fantasy world believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how much time they have had to build this thing, I'm gonna say no. If they could churn out huge DLC pieces this fast, they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
