Pillars of Eternity SPOILER thread

Pick a skill to level up each toon, I tried to go the balanced route and am screwed out of content because of it.

sounds like i made the right call not getting this

Aren't they developing a turn based addition to this game? Won't it alleviate some of the micro?

I like the micro managing. And if you keep an eye on all the ability bars, it's no different than turn based. In fact, it's better.

I have no complaints yet.

Haven't tried it out yet. I actually haven't been able to play it in awhile due to a heavy work load, but I have been keeping up with its news.

TLDR coming up.

I just finished the game, here are some things you should know. This was on easy mode.

-Pick a stat for each party member and focus on that, do not try to be a jack of all trades. I had a ton of conversation options I couldn't use because the trait wasn't high enough.
- Fill your party as soon as you can, things will be much easier.
- Crafting generally suck in this game, you can only craft pots, food, and scrolls and they all have such a short duration I didn't even mess with them.
-Enchanting is key to finishing the game, but do not enchant until you are near the end. To enchant weapons and armor will eat up the finite available mats and you cannot remove the enchantment. HUGE flaw in my book.
-Level cap is 12, once you are at this point you don't have to micro manage your party and you can beat anything with proper targeting order.
-HOLY shite use an enchanter, the songs they sing don't require an management at all, passive buffs.
-Money becomes a non issue in the last 1/4 of the game, I ended with like 80K unused, and probably another 80K in gear stored in my chest.
-There are certain party quests that you can't finish if that party member isn't in your group. I didn't finish one because I didn't want that party member in my group in act three.
-I had one quest I couldn't finish because of choices I had mad earlier in the game.
-Completing this game without looking up shite would take A LONG TIME, the quest text is very vague sometimes and there are some quests that require doing actions in a specific order.

I will come back and edit as I think of more. Bottom line I enjoyed the game and it was well done for an initial release.

I was looking forward to starting this game soon when I had the time. You discouraged me bro.

Sell me on it. Of course I'm a huge fan of BG/BG2/IWD, etc.

Cool bro.

I downloaded a copy because I had the opportunity, but I would never play without paying. I will purchase on GOG most likely if I play. I prefer GOG over Steam in general.

All that said, I wanted some convincing. I read through the other thread as well. It would be a time sink for me and I wanted to know if it's worth it. A game like this peaks my interest like a CoH reboot. Just never know how it works out though.

I appreciate the :thumbsup: just need to find time to play, but I may go ahead and buy this week.

This looks awesome.

How old is your mom? There is a distinct possibility we're brothers.

I haven't read much of thie thread to avoid spoilers, but I've never played this type of game before.

Should I play Planescape: Torment or Baulders gate first since I can get it on the cheap to decide if I will like this type of game ?
