dunehunter Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) How do you like the animation of characters when u holding a big sword? I uploaded two pics, one in DF one in DOS2, which one do u like better? Personally I feel that the animation in DOS2 is cooler and the DF one is a bit awkward...

daven Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 He's not even touching the sword with his left hand is he? Maybe he's resting it on his finger. nowt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juodas Varnas Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) The DOS animation might be 'cooler' but Deadfire animation is much more practical, so i prefer the Deadfire animation. To me, a lot of the animations in Divinity feel a bit too much like "cool, edgy anime poses" Edited February 20, 2018 by Juodas Varnas 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormerine Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Animations in PoE aren’t perfect (hands could rest much better on a handle) but more on a technical side, rateher than stylistic. D:OS2 has a completely different style, with cartoonish characters, and exaggerated animations. They are satisfying, and arguably a better choice of an top down RPG, as you can easier recognise characters, weapons, and moves, but not something Deadfire is aiming for. While in OS any kind of logic is thrown out of a window, those odd poses, and moves would be jarring. Even abilities such as leap stick out. Apparently two handers are really really heavy.

But well this is a fantasy game so I'd like to see stylish than practical on animation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer more grounded settings myself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no mention in PoE as of yet, of a metal that would be lighter than its real life counterparts, making Deadifre's fantastical setting irrelevant. There are better uses for the "fantasy" setting than explaining why a guy can use a two handed sword like a fishing rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, doing something 'because it's cool' is dumb. And you're all stupid for saying it! Edited February 20, 2018 by daven 4 nowt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmonocle Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 tyranny females held two handlers above the head I see the dreams so marvelously sad The creeks of land so solid and encrusted Where wave and tide against the shore is busted While chanting by the moonlit twilight's bed trees (of Twin Elms) could use more of Magran's touch © Durance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 tyranny females held two handlers above the head In Tyranny people would fly into the air and shot bunch of arrows. Not that it was bad, but Tyranny was Tyranny, PoE is PoE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MortyTheGobbo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Warrior types in Pillars frequently do things which shouldn't be possible in real life, especially as you reach higher levels. This doesn't necessarily imply a stylized and unrealistic aesthetic. And I like that Pillars doesn't fall into the trap of treating two-handed weapons as heavy, which is a misconception fantasy embraces way too often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunehunter Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Well there are a lot unrealistic element in PoE too, like Strenght affect firearm damage, Swift Flurry triggers addictional attacks for ranged weapons. I’d rather see unrealistic stuff in stylishness than game mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaven Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 i would say dos2 looks way better. in terms of art style. also.. i much prefer the art direction (UI) in pathfinder kingmaker. it would be great if the designers in kingmaker who did the UI design and art for deadfire.

Boeroer Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Dude... I meant Pathfinder Kingmaker. I backed Original Sin 2, played it for a little while and I absolutely hate it.

Speaking of D:OS2 - maybe someone could give an advice: I am currently wrapping up Driftwood and it’s remaining areas - only Bloodmoom Island remained. I am forcing my way through OS2 for completion sake - how much more there is after that? I read somewhere that end content is level 20, and I am about level 15, but I know that there are entirely two new areas to deal with. Are they much smaller than Driftwood map?

There's A LOT after that. Your're 50% in. Or maybe 60%. Next area is relatively small, the last one is quite big and then there's final dungeon and outro.

If you didn't like it up to now better nor waste more time on it. Yeah, if you didn't like the first 2 chapters, you won't like the rest, because it doesn't really get better (in fact the first 2 chapters are probably the best part of the game and it does go downhill after that).
