Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Some information from a Eurogamer interview The only reason I'd want Larian to do full voice acting is because it would cut down on their rambling writing and force them to, hopefully, be more concise. Jesus, for all the praise their writers give each other, they need to chill the heck out and edit their poo poo. Drifter fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Oct 13, 2016 |

Elias_Maluco posted:IDK I really like their writing As much poo poo as I give Divinity OS for its writing, you and I feel exactly the same way regarding whatever poo poo Obsidian put out with PoE. It was almost like a kick in the nuts, given that I paid full price for PoE.  It really put me off Obsidian game from here on out (unless they make Alpha Protocol 2, though  ).I always felt PoE had better combat gameplay and artwork, but DoS kicked its rear end in every other category. DoS combat felt a little repetitive and slow. Drifter fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Oct 14, 2016 |

Slashrat posted:I ended up prefering D:OS' turn-based combat over real-time with pause as well. It felt more satisfying tactical than the chaotic mess that combat in PoE and infinity engine games usually devolved into for me. I thought PoE had great rtwp options. It was able to play almost just like synchronous turn-based, which is awesome.

Divinity 2 was kinda cool and I'm sure I'm nostalgia-ing over it, but back when I played it it was *just enough*. Like, there was dialog, but it didn't go overboard, and it was kinda dry humor and not too tryhard and at times even clever. DoS at times felt like a writer's attempt at improv, like the dude wrote a few lines and then was all  and that cycle repeated for the entire project. I'm kinda keeping an eye on DOS 2 and so far you guys make it sound like it'll be worth checking out. Phlegmish posted:I really liked my naked Cypher main character. Get in an opening crit with your crossbow, then start casting. PoE had a lot of interesting mechanics and ideas, even though not all of them worked that well or were fully realized. I feel like if they ever make a sequel and learn from the first game in an iterative way, it's going to be amazing. I believe, Obsidian's new game, Tyrant, which uses the PoE engine (I'm almost certain) will probably iteratively improve upon PoE's already pretty solid gameplay. Unless they're toning down the combat mechanics, but that would be silly. When I say the writing was bad I mean two things. One, that it was exceptionally unengaging. Half of the poo poo the characters were saying would have been better suited for an ingame encyclopedia (wasn't there already an encyclopedia?  ), it was just bland exposition and repetitive scenery building. The second certainly adds to the first, which is that the story felt shoddily edited, as though a bunch of people wrote a few bits of dialog/scenes and pasted them together without any further editing so it feels slapdash and cluttered and inconsistent.

Phlegmish posted:I like that idea, but I think it would encourage savescumming unless they could somehow safeguard against that. Any saves made within the last ten minutes of that opened chest all get immediately seeded with that chest's destroyed item, and is creation timestamped and hashed, so you can't copy a savegame outside the savefolder and replace it.
