>Normal thread
>Sup Forumstards come in and shit it up
>Mods delete the whole thread instead of just dealing with them
Stop doing this shit, delete their posts, don't nuke the whole thing

That would require effort, user.

Hello shill, you've made this thread a few times already. Maybe you should start using different images?

They sure improved the models from the first game. I just hope they also improved the pace and storytelling so you're not running into a wall of text dumps in the first hour.

I made this thread once and it got deleted because some asshole came in and derailed it about race stuff

>Hurr muh Sup Forums wahhh

You do realize you idiots cause it right? I'm not even a Sup Forums browser I'm just genuinely tired of newfags like you whining when you haven't even been on the site when Sup Forums didn't exist. I will literally fill Sup Forums shit up whenever I get a chance now because of you. Know that. Stupid little newfag.

Now go take your shill thread and your fucking garbage posting and take it back to pleddit.

I wanna marry Pallegina

>playing an Obsidian game any time before the second anniversary of its release

what's the beta like? is it the full game or a vertical slice like PoE's backer beta was?

It's still not out yet, comes out in five hours. But it's just a vertical slice, like the first game, fortunately. Happens in a side island and only spoils sidequest stuff. Doesn't even have the companions.

Move over bird slut. There's a new brown waifu in town.

>>It's still not out yet, comes out in five hours
source?

>Only cute girl.
>Obsidian makes her gay.
>yfw

But is her sex godlike?

Stop fetishising her race you fucking Sup Forumsfaggot

what did they complain about?
that all the new companions are some kind of a special snowflake minority and they're all boring shit?
because that bothers me too

I agree. It's a nice touch, even if we won't see them that close up for most of the game - especially with how good the backgrounds look.

Good taste, user. I'm hoping to romance Xoti since she seems pretty cute and Ydwin wasn't made a full companion.

Godlike don't have functioning genitalia idiot

>Only cute girl
Excuse me?

Think I'll try it then. Sawyer's enthusiasm is endearing but everything else I hear about it sounds bad.

>Implying that's a disadvantage

Are they really? One is a Orlan which ain't abnormal, one is a Godlike so I'll give you that one, one is a dark skinned QT who worships Gaun.

What have you been hearing? So far everywhere I've seen people talking about they've been saying it looks to just be a direct improvement of the first game, and the first game was pretty good to begin with.

Remember. Forcing diversity is okay but talking about it isn't. Shhh Sup Forums.

She's totally gonna be lesbian. It's going to explain why Kana didn't pick up Maneha in White Marsh was Lesbian despite all the hinting she gave him when he showed interest in her.

That it comes out today or in five hours?
Today, you just need to go check Obsidian's twitch channel on the last 3 minutes or so. They talk about how the beta comes today.

As for in five hours, that's just me speculating, because that's usually the hour when new stuff releases on Steam.

>not liking the cute imperialist

>I'm hoping to romance Xoti

""""romance""""""" won't open the floodgates for biodrones they sad
people who use romance as a verb should be hanging from lamp poles

I'm going to sexualize attractive brown women and there's not a single god damn thing you can do to stop me!

Is it gonna have shitty optimization like PoE1 though?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're a backer of the game, give feedback on the atrocious portraits for the returning three.

They said they substantially improved the loading times, but other than that, who knows.

I just got Melia and Riki in Xenoblade Chronicles and they're fucking trash. Do these guys get better or is it going to be Reyn time all the time?

Avoid like the plague. Its so boring it will put you to sleep.

Yeah if these stay in I'm almost assuredly just going to mod the old ones back in. These remind me a lot of when baldur's gate 2 changed the art style, it never really sat well with me. I hope that the new companions aren't as bad.

Can't expect anything but that from happening. Before romance was announced there was like a 30 page forum post of people arguing against romance because of the drama it will bring.

That and how it's usually ham fisted and fucking stupid. Pretty much all the complaints that followed the announcement of romance has already been predicted too.

>Why isn't everyone bisexual?
>Why can't you be non binary?
>Why is there no trans romance?
>Why are there minorities?
>Why aren't there MORE minorities?

Wait what the fuck, this isn't the Xenoblade thread

How the Hell did they manage to make them worse?

>pillars
>lacking minorities
Jesus what do they want? Also technically Palegina is trans or whatever since she doesn't have functioning girl bits and her home nation treats her like a man for it.

>The ones with a side angle are now facing forward.
>The ones facing forward are now facing the side.
What did Obsidian mean by this?

>What did Obsidian mean by this?

>Also technically Palegina is trans or whatever
Funny you should mention that. That was brought up in the forums and a few users said she doesn't count because she's only considered male in her home country. They want a full on FtM or MtF character.

Yet the portraits for the new characters look perfectly fine to me. Maybe it's just because I have nothing to compare them to.

Wow what an entitled bunch of cunts

So, how was POE 1? it seemed alright but i decided to wait for a sale or something.

I thought godlike were just considered sexless because they can't have children.

D E E P E S T
L O R E

Palegina's home country specifically views any woman who can't bear children to be a man.

...

Isn't it only her home nation that considers her male though? Because I'm pretty sure Godlikes have gentiles they just can't have children.

Maia looks like the least shit, but I think I'm going to be avoiding the other two.

Why the fuck does it matter?

What is wrong with these people?

Trans people are truly a mistake. I've also had some crazy fag in one of my regular forum recently. Going on a rant about irrelevant shits because he "forgot his meds" or whatevs.

/blog

NO DURANCE NO BUY

Filled with annoying flaws but really good in general. Easy 8/10 after the patches and expansions.

Talking about criticism people have on the official Obsidian forums belong on Sup Forums? It goes both ways there too if that satisfies you. There are groups there who complain way too much about the fucking "diversity" of the main cast and the inclusion of romance.

They can't put him in because He dies in the cannon ending

I hope Darkest Dungeon's studio does a CRPG, the current ones are all trash

>people who use romance as a verb
You mean... people? I meant that since we know relatively little about the characters (especially since I haven't been following much of the dev updates) I don't know if she'll be that cute in-game, but for now I personally think she's more interesting than Pallegina and Ydwin wasn't made a full companion.

Obsidian's characters have almost always been one of the best parts of their games.

I don't mind the minorities but I'm a bit cautious about the romance too. I just don't want my bro Edér to start trying to jump on my dick.

It's fucking Sup Forums that's why the last thread got deleted. It's not video games.

>brown waifu are now Sup Forums
What the fuck?

Best taste, user.

>Canon ending
Everything changes based on your choices, my dude. Edér being alive or dead, cultist or mayor, Aloth taking over the Leaden Key or destroying it, etc. I'm hoping Durance has a cameo if you got him the good ending.

>"it's the jews, that's why the last thread got deleted.It's not politics."

Does Pillars even have the fucking tech to do sex change? Like maybe you can get an animancer to swap your body with another but then that brings up another question.

Aloth has an awakened soul that was a women right? So if she were to take 100% control would she be considered trans? Would the concept even have any meaning because of thi shit?

Shut the fuck up Sup Forumstard

>Aloth has an awakened soul that was a women right? So if she were to take 100% control would she be considered trans?
I don't know, but I hope we find out.

Isselmyr is based. I wish she appeared more in the first game.

u mad I pointed out your resemblance to Sup Forums?

I bet if the game takes place in the Vailian Republics where everyone are brown QTs they'd still complain.

THREE MONTHS!!!!!!
it is too long!
btw is there still a way to back the game?

wew

I was hoping that's where it would take place. A game based on Pseudo-Italy with seafaring and plenty of factions all trying to backstab each other.

But Deadfire looks cool too.

I mean, "awakened" is more like unlocking previous soul to be activated rather than erasing current soul personality, he's more like 2 people in one body than a woman in a man's body.

Even is Iselmyr in 100% in control the original body soul, Aloth is still there.

gog.com/game/pillars_of_eternity_ii_deadfire

And that's assuming no delays, which is a very optimistic thought, since this is Obsidian and a crowdfunded project.

>wanting to fuck a cloaca

Too civilized, not fit for Deadfire which for all its innovation still wants to be more like a traditional RPG with exploring unknown regions and diving into ancient dungeons. Which I am fine with.
>plenty of factions all trying to backstab each other
That's the premise of Deadfire!

To me it's not mainly about the SJW shit, though that certainly has a negative impact on writing every time.
If there's >romance, then all companions have to have it, which inveitably lowers writing quality, since you have to write each character so they can be fucked. Imagine if Durance of Grieving Mom were written to be romance-friendly, it'd be supremely gay.
Worst of all, it causes Talifags and their equivalents from other titles to flock to the game. And since Talifags are the worst form of opinionated ultra-SJW interactive movie-loving furry cancer, they'll fill the forums with demands to make the game more casual / more liberal / more furry-positive.

If people with raider backstory don't get a random encounter where they're confronted by their old crew I'm gonna be upset.

I'm really glad Deadfire is taking place in an interesting place. Why does every fucking fantasy game has to take place in a Toiken-esque green fieleds fantasy land? Then in the lore every other country is fucking awesome.

Like Baldur's Gate for example. Literally everywhere else is much more interesting.

but I meant backing it not just buying it
nvm I just searched for it
eternity.obsidian.net/backer/tiers

I think caution is sensible, but I'm hoping Obsidian will do a good job and I think they will. Sawyer's in charge and he's got a good view on the place of romance in vidya, and Obsidian have written good romances before.

What old crew?

I'd honest replayed MoB every year if the camera is not so archaic.

Then you should look here

fig.co/campaigns/deadfire

trans faggotry is truly the worst, and as this thread demonstrates, it's reached PoE too

99% sure Josh said not every companion will be interested in the Watcher. I'd say we'd have at most 3 romance-able companions. 1 male and 2 female. One being bisexual.

>If there's >romance, then all companions have to have it
Good news for you there. Sawyer confirmed not all companions can be romanced.

If you choose the Raider background all of the options end up with you and your crew being fucked in some way.

you don't raid shit alone, m8

They went as safe as possible with the first game for maximum backer money. It's nice they're going way wilder now. A seafaring adventure sounds great.

it was hot cancer on the main game's release, but in subsequent patches they made it almost identical to KotOR / your run-of-the-mill MMO
or are those the kind of controls you can't stand?

...

>but in subsequent patches they made it almost identical to KotOR / your run-of-the-mill MMO
You are fucking with me. I tried the GOG version recently and it's still as fucked as I remember it, maybe even worse.

Same, hope we see more of her in Deadfire.

That's a reasonable complaint, user. I don't think the updated camera controls are that bad, but maybe I'm used to it (unless you don't like the over-the-shoulder view at all, because the 'strategic' view is garbage)
I do replay it every year. Safiya a top cute, Myrkul a best.

All companions facing straight aren't gay.

>One being bisexual.
oh great
i know i was missing something from PoE
not the interactivity, multiple quest solutions or being able to screw over anyone á la Alpha Protocol / New Vegas / KotOR2
bisexual romance

Tbh I thought the Baldur's Gate 2 ones were much better, except for Imoen.
