This reviewer talks about how pillars handles on console and it looks playable to me. Gives me hope that the IE ports will do well. I will probably pause more than usual though to micro spells and abilities. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gTYV0huxa3Y

Neither should hopefully be an issue with Infinity engine games.

Has somebody some good advice on a party of 5-6 no-good fellows or the Black Pits (1+2) ? I as thinking of guys i would not choose for a full campaign play-through in the immediate future: Blackguard, Dwarven Defender, Shaman, Dragon Disciple etc. Mabe a thief-multiclass or a elven fighter-mage? Too many squishy elements with intense micro might not be a good idea...

Why do people hate Irenicus' Dungeon so much? I always find it's fun with a bunch of little elements to explore.

For people who've played it tens of times it becomes just a boring slog to get through and pick up a few items/xp. In and of itself though yeah it's a pretty cool opening dungeon.

The first level of Chateau Irenicus is a slog because you have to back track across it once to get the key to open the door to the plane of air, cross it again to talk to the dryads to get the genie's lamp, cross it again to give the genie his lamp, and then cross it yet again to leave the level. Also, Imoen just wont shut the hell up.

smdh if u don't just ctrl-J everywhere after your first playthrough Although, it's easy to break script triggers if you don't know where they are ahead of time.

If you find yourself getting bored of a dungeon because you've seen it 20 times maybe it's time to play a new game for once.

cigaw posted:Dragon Disciple works for the BP since you'll likely have enough spells to last you through most fights. BP2 becomes a breeze once you can summon Planetars. Archers a great during BP1 but they don't do so hot in BP2. Highly recommend you have a Cleric, either a Fighter/Cleric multi or a Zerker//Cleric dual. A Fighter/Mage helps round things out with support and buffing. DD might be a good idea for staying power, but I found the slow movement problematic. Thanks for the tips. No need for a thief? (Or rather thief multiclass)

Irenicus' dungeon is a very effective way to tutorialize gameplay system, hint at the sort of weirdness that one can find in the gonzo as poo poo Forgotten Realms, and foreshadow Irenicus' plot threads (though this... doesn't work... because most players will have forgotten about all of this stuff by the time they meet him again, lol). In other words, it's good. It *is* pretty linear and kinda long, so I can understand how someone who's played the game a thousand times might wanna skip it, but.. y'know... other games exist, as GorfZaplen pointed out.

It's as well structured as the rest of the game. The point of it is the reveal, sending you through a linear tunnel that dumps you, abruptly and unexpectedly, into a dense open world. It's as overwhelming to the player as it would be to the character.

Haven't played the game in a long time but it's pretty common and in many ways a good idea to have bit of a tiring dungeon tutorial before you get to enjoy walking around the city,seeing the sights and talking to people. Have to earn it, god dammit  It's perhaps my favorite city design in computer games so they must have done it just right.

The problem with the BG2 starter dungeon is that it's a starter dungeon, i.e. a mandatory section right at the start of the game that will, as such, be played through 1,348,267 times more often than the rest of the game put together. There is no good design that can triumph over that.

It's funny that he's by far the best NPC thief and seems like a good guy when all the other best minmax characters are evil. Viconia, Edwin, Sarevok, Korgan. It's like they are blatantly encouraging you to make him a main party member.

Mordaedil posted:I don't think we're getting NWN2 EE simply because Trent Oster was not on the team for that game. i had heard rumors that Obsidian wanted to do it themselves a few years back but given the... challenges around the IP and the rights situation back in the nwn2 days I wouldn't be surprised if they lost interest and moved on. JustJeff88 posted:This is... ambitious? I'm having a hard time imagining how this would work with no mouse and keyboard. I no longer work there but the PS:T port to Switch was looking quite good when I last saw it. Pillars provides a pretty solid example for how to do these games on console. The team joked about sneaking the PSX version into the console ports somehow but that was obviously never going to fly.

Anyone knows if Aesgereth, the cambion with the deck of many things in Watcher's Keep 3rd level, drops the wish scroll and spectral brand if you kill him? Or are they gambling-only rewards? It's been a while since I've done that and can't remember.

Unless the EE changed it, Aesgareth doesn't drop the scroll and scimitar upon death. You can only get them through gambling.

I took my series play into BG2 chapter 2 over the last couple days and HOLY CRAP it gets me every time how you can go back and chart a flow from a munchkinned fighter/cleric just barely holding the line against Mulahey and his skeleton summons as the rest of the team tries to hit a 2AC cleric, to to squeaking past the Neothelid in SoD and putting a toe into Baby's First Nine Hells, to a 10APR, 24 strength Jaheira solo-ing the Planar Prison with Improved Haste/boots of speed, and the game arcs into treating the party like such a heroic force of nature that it really really works! e; ooh, and Ironskin. I'm finally abusing Ironskin on Jaheira too. Its insane. So far the scaling has held up okay, but going into BG2 with SoD xp levels has meant I'm on the cusp of HLAs as of starting chapter 3, so as the blind man said "we'll see" Willie Tomg fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Mar 3, 2019 |
