Pillars of Eternity: Video review

Fundraising on Kickstarter, almost three years of waiting and now, finally, here is the beautiful Pillars of Eternity. Let’s see if she has a chance to become the best RPG 2015.

Pillars of Eternity

The best comments

What are the chances of RPG of the year? The game is gorgeous, no doubt. That’s only in 2014, the no less chic RPG Divinity: Original Sin came out from Kikstarter, and the RPG and the game of the year became the shit Dragon Age Invisitor. But Diviniti was not in the nominations anywhere – I mean all sorts of official ceremonies. Although in fact, any connoisseur of real RPGs understood and talked about where Diviniti and where compared to it MMO DAI is a boring. In general, in absentia, for me, the best game of the year and RPG is already there – this is a witcher 3.

It seems that you need stream with Vasya Halperov according to Pillars of Eternity. It seems that Alexander said a lot of good words, but they sound very “typical” for RPG.
And yes, the spring has come – again the „raisins“ rained down 🙂

Damn … I love similar RPGs, but … damn it! Where to get time for them? I still have the characters in the Wasteland still staggering, and the hands of the original sin are so stretching ..

Only you have not taken into account: Baldur’s Gate, Planescape Torment, Fallout 1-2 are now relatively playable games, but Wastland and Shadowrun probably did not play. Most players begin to know party roles from new projects that are well adapted to today’s realities and may then want to go through the original. POE is a great way to enter the genre, and there you can plunge into other worlds, more interesting and more worked out. In the end, it is better than POE than DAI.

Absolutely true, the very concept of „waging“ is absurd in the world of the game. Moreover, all his adherents are schizophrenic.

Look, what a normal person is doing on a roof IRL? That’s right – gets a role and plays it. He is an actor. Only the script is not clearly spelled out, so part of its role is improvisation.
What does the player in the battles do? That’s right, he receives his role (well, he himself chooses it), receives the appropriate ammunition and goes to improvise on the battlefield.
By the way, there is a great example – „Russian Butcher in Dayz“. Chose his role and began to play it.

What is the absurd? Yes, no. The absurdity begins when we try to apply the term CRPG (or just RPG) to this. You catch it? Actually now I said nothing from myself, I just repeated your words.

So where is the clue?
And she, as usual, is in the mattress.
Firstly, we strictly need to start with the basic concept-role system.
Actually a thoughtful person is already enough, but we will continue.

So, RPG and as their forerunner – the tables, alpha and omega in total – D&D, this is primarily a game swore. It is her, different species (there is a list on Vicki below) and is called “RPG elements”, and somewhere, nothing hesitates, they write in the genre through the slash.

Wait, he will say attentive to the role, but where is the plot, roles, finally playing?
Of course, RPG is impossible without setting. This is him The second The fundamental part.
Only there is a small detail … No game is possible without a setting. Everywhere there is a plot, characters and history of the world. That is, of course, we can create a spherical shooter in a vacuum and it may even turn out well, but the joke is that we will also be able.
If all this seems absurd to you, and the brain stubbornly clings to the usual images from rich plots, characters and complex elections … then there is nothing wrong with that. Actually this is the way games. Just a person is so arranged that he is ready to induce without stopping. Fantasy cannot be stopped. Even the Half-Life world, created by several gross strokes, with a wordless main character, gained fans who carefully examine lor And they even wait for the continuation stories. What can we say about role -playing Games.
Exactly the same fans were created by the worlds that we now know well. If the silent Freeman so sinks into the soul, then the elves, dwarves, magicians and thieves simply had no other choice. And initially the seed of the RPG was sore in the very rich soil
Roles And here, I insist, it is necessary to move away from the vulgar understanding of the word. This role is large Role on the battlefield, And do not forget about it.
Wig – Here I will repeat, waging this purely mythical substance. No need to be afraid that he can appear everywhere, even in the contra. This is fine. Watering is not part of the players and RPG. This is part of human thinking.

Summarizing what RPG is and why RPG is RPG?
RPG This is a skeleton from players with a narrative richly extended on it. Since the skeleton is complex and developed, the carcass is entirely developed and diverse. Dialogues and choice are only inevitable and logical development. Where Gordon has only one way of interacting with the world, the elf-travets and a magician mage cannot go through an absolutely identical road. And people begin to invent.

h.s. Do not build my words to the Absolute. RPG is not a prison. RPG is freedom. And where creators It seemed not interesting to delve into, diablae appears there. Naked skeleton, barely covered with skin. Someone will even decide what to call This RPG cannot and contemptuously quit-hack-n-slash.
Where creators It seemed not interesting to fight, Planescape: Tourment appears there.

The choice and its width is only a characteristic high -quality Games.

Passed in one breath Wasteland 2 and Divinity. Was simply delighted with them and expected the same from Pillars of Eternity, but unfortunately did not receive.
This is a different game, yet the lack of step -by -step is felt. The plot is chic, captures immediately and does not let go, pumping the characters, too, at the highest level, you are dripping for a long time in it, but something went wrong ..
From the attempts to play it, I made a conclusion, all the same step by step RPGs I like more when you know where in principle you can go and how your character will go to the specified goal (there was a couple of moments of not logical choice of the path to the character). And somehow the plot is interesting, wildly interesting, I want to know further and further, but here is the process itself ..
So I will go to recall Wasteland 2.

Well, no, it will turn out to be “mocking” with the settings of appearance only with a very big fantasy, because the choice is extremely and extremely limited (I would even say scum, especially if the main character is not a person), but with everything else, everything was eventually compensated by others- more important – elements, and was compensated in full. : 3

Not just bugs, at some point, she simply tightly paint, without giving me further, I had to evacuate the saves from the house and exclude her at work where the 64 -bit OS))

Yes, only it is more complicated (IMHO) + there is a fortress that can be improved, to receive tasks and events from it. Well, the role system has changed – it has become more modern, and got rid of some elements D&D
