Pillars of Eternity to Avowed Pax West Panel

this hasn't popped up on my feed yet, so here y'all go. i'll see if i can summarize it a bit below (apologies for absurd length lol).

Josh Sawyer Pre-Recorded Interview

pillars ended up feeling a lot more traditional crpg than he expected

wanted to make the setting have a blend of the exploration of baldur's gate, dungeon crawling of icewind dale, & philosophical themes like planescape: torment.

while eora contains many things he is interested in, he doesn't feel much ownership over it. made the setting specifically for obsidian to use.

creating maps for pillars a lot more technically complex than for the infinity engine games.

maintaining continuity of feel more important than recreating everything one to one when talking about adapting the setting to 1st person action rpg.

Carrie Patel & John Cotto Live Panel

Carrie (game director) - first game at obsidian was as narrative designer on pillars 1. John (area designer) - first game was deadfire, fell in love with eora after playing pillars 1 in college.

setting the game in the living lands allowed the team to make a colorful & fantastical game - famous in lore for being legendarily dangerous & fantastical & unknown.far enough away from eastern reach & deadfire for a clean slate.

clean slate but there will be call backs and returning characters from previous games.

morrowind was a formative game for john. excited to get to create a game in that same vein.

carrie reiterates how she loves the mix of grounded physical layer & metaphysical layer & the player character's ability to move between the political & mystical. john also loves the metaphysics

john - area designer is akin to being a dungeon master. he is the official unofficial eora lorekeeper on the project.

carrie - classless system decided early on to encourage players to experiment w/ builds as they discover the game. talks about how most of the class abilities in pillars were learned vs innate.

john made sure to include "at least one" book of smut to be found in the world.

carrie - excited to explore animancy even deeper in avowed, i.e. a community of animancers who enhance their crop using essence to become living lands' breadbasket.

john - excited to explore a pargrunen dwarf community.

the team reworked the prologue to be more guided & endgame to let players actually use endgame abilities.

Fun Bugs!

Will we be getting a new old lady name for your Rook? Perhaps a Mildred or a Clara.

it is my brand.. i must continue..... i was actually considering bea/beatrice lmao

but it will depend upon who my rook ends up being! and im waiting for the game to come out before i make any decisions. probably will be an elf because i am not immune to ear

[glamfellens]

parents will straight up traumatize you then be like “well i don’t remember saying/doing that.” ok nvm then. none of it happened. i’m good now. We’re good. thankyou for setting the record straight👍 *GRITS MY TEETH SO HARD THEY SHATTER*

THE ORB FLOATS

[glamfellens]

I do think it's pretty funny when games about killing people with magic and swords and stuff suddenly decide to have a quest where they try to make a Moral Choice™ about whether you choose to kill or spare some bad guy.

Like my dear friend... you completely destroyed the moral stakes of Choosing To Kill A Guy by featuring hundreds of hostile NPC encounters with no other meaningful way of overcoming them other than killing them. By the time the player gets to the Moral Choice about whether it is right to kill bad people they will inevitably already have killed a triple-digit number of people that probably haven't done anything anywhere as bad as this guy.

Hey guys! This is a fundraiser that has been going on for a long time but has seen very few donations.

Lina Zeyad is a lawyer with her own practice, and a mother of 3 sons and a pregnant daughter. Her firm was completely destroyed by the genocidal bombing campaigns, and she no longer has a source of income to be able to support her family.

They are currently at 92 donations...

Can we get them to 100?

It really is proof of how intensely racist fandoms just naturally are that the Fallout show made its one romance interracial and so the fandom completely ignores the whole on-screen story of Lucy and Maximus in favor of shipping the white girl with the fucking ghoul dude

Because we can only care about this white guy whose flesh has fallen off and is 200 years older than her and also has shown no interest and neither has she. That's so much safer and nicer than her being with a black dude. 🙃
