alright but does he know how to recruit donnel? Kappa

oh true

level him up

dont tell him

rip

and dont let him die

bopit fucked it up

and blamed it on the game

its a good thing i have a selective memory

well

miriel died

oh no

oh boy

no one cares about her

its okay

thats crazy

i didnt care about her either

which is why i sacrificed her for stahl

good idea

How you know that a game's crafting system is ass

When more people have completed the game, than have crafted 5 items

what game

Pillars of Eternity 2

oh rip

ive barely played it yet

is it good

I'm mixed I think it's a great game

But the loading screens have only gotten worse from Tyranny

And some of the towns are WAY too big, so you spend hours traipsing around without any combat

Plus, there are some crafting/balance issues

hm

Also, there is a pretty bad bug right now, which is fixed by disabling your Steam overlay

But you get to name islands

(not that anyone doesn't run out of names after the first few)

I think half of mine are named after people in this cult

do i have one

I think I've named 10 or so so far

Three are yours, two are Dialga's, Pika, Leg, xBrox and Karp have one

oh boy

What game are you talking about

Counting this one as yours too Max

oh pillars of eternity

perfect

If there were zero loading screens

It think Deadfire would be 10/10

But if I want to run around the main island, and turn in quests I'm not kidding when I say there are 30-40 loading screens

that sounds like an extremely excessive number of load screens

2 - Land/leave island 12 - Enter/Leave each of the island areas 24 - Enter/Leave houses in each area (assuming two in each area)

It's actually more, because some of the houses have multiple floors, so from main street you load ---> lvl 1 ---> lvl 2 ---> lvl 3 (talk to guy) ---> level 2 ---> lvl 1 ---> Street

thats just bad design

It is, I agree

houses should be in the same area and should stay cached when in the overworld

What's weirder is they have some areas which have working transitions

Where you can go between floors without load screens

But then there will be a tower, and you can enjoy a dozen 10 second load screens

incompetence

What makes this better Leg, is that they finished the game early

don't encourage bad coders to make stuff

And moved up their launch date

All their games have this problem

And their map designers are too stupid to code around it

There is an EASY fix

Which is to just not have all these tiny houses everywhere, that chew up minutes of screen transitions

put all building insides in the same map

couldn't they just model the buildings on the map

if you want hour long load times sure

like, Divinity original sin 2. That's one of the few things i really liked about that game

There are maps in Tyranny (their last game) which were called the hole hills or something Where there were 30+ hovels, each with two levels of rooms inside That's almost 100 loading screens on one map

divinity original sin 2 has competent designers

Better, a lot of these rooms were empty

i imagine the insides of the buildings are not fully loaded and are sneakily pulled from memory when you get close enough

this design team for spooky's game would never even consider that

actually i know they aren't fully loaded because i teleported to unloaded zones a bunch

The design teams at Obsidian are proud they are repurposing code form the original baldur's gate

I love Obsidian

but they're idiots sometimes

I really love all their recent cRPGs, despite their faults

I just have no idea how they don't fix shit like this
