You haven’t played many RPGs.

I have.
You haven't fucked many women.

>You haven't fucked many women.
m8, you embarrass yourself on a daily basis
I’m a 40 year old married father of three, my body count when I was young was probably high 20s (you lose track after a point)
I regret sleeping around though, wish I had met my wife when I was younger, promiscuity is harmful for both men and women
Sex isn’t everything, forming a real connection and pair bonding is far more important
Both Pillars games are mediocre and neither great nor terrible
Thank you for listening to my TED talk

>>4131645
forgot to add my post. pillars is bad and the sequel is not an improvement. both came off as blatant rip offs of baldur's gate

>>4131613
I wouldn't say a mockery, just so super bland.

>>4131651
>blatant rip offs of baldur's gate
That promise was exactly why millennials funded them.
Later millennials realized they didn't want Baldur's Gate after all.
But how could they admit their mistake? Nah just think of some nitpick to blame instead haha

Love Pillars.
Weak false-flag.

>>4131660
Nah, I backed the game hoping for a RTwP Bg-alike. But the game world was bland. The writing was bland. The shitty kickstarter NPCs were tonally out of place. Most party NPCs were dull or lame. The equipment was repetitive (I wanted OP shit like Carosymr and Staff of the Magi, not +5 fire resist). Last of all, classes were made by "le balance man".

You're a faggot. Nothing is better than cumming deep inside a young slut you just met. Enjoy boring ass sex for decades with your wife.

>>4131613
Nah. There's much worse RPGs. But it sure was fucking boring from start to finish.

>>4131613
not really

>>4131651
Baldur’s Gate (1, SoA, ToB) is a timeless masterpiece that will be fondly remembered for hundreds of years, like a
Gesamtkunstwerk of Wagner.

PoE is a bland product. I refuse to call it a game, let alone a cRPG, because it is uninspired slop for drooling, failed manchildren. It commits the worst sin possible for a work aspiring to be art: it is BORING, SAFE and NOT NOVEL. If I was running the world, comparing PoE to Baldur’s Gate would earn you prison time for grotesque and offensive behavior.

I’d rather play Dragon Age: The Veilguard over PoE. It is more admirable to be unashamedly bad, than to be a boring cash grab, aiming to part unfuckable men with their money.

>>4131696
If subhuman vermin like vrpg denizens love pillars, then Pillars must be bad. Because of who (You) are, everything you like must be bad, and everything you hate must be good.

>>4132288
Close your eyes, lest you’re exposed to an opinion that doesn’t fit your echo chamber. Pitiable insect.

>>4132034
It’s always funny to me when, after seeing “people” like you making a foolish assertion and then being corrected, you retards simply start sperging out in the opposite direction. If you were a conscious human being, you could self-reflect on your assumptions and choices, and reconsider if they were correct in light of new contradictory evidence.
But you won’t, since you’re simply an attention-seeking animal, pure reflexive contrarianism, acting on negative conditioning.
It’s doubly funny because that’s what you think about everyone else, but you’re too stupid to figure it out, even when the truth is plainly spelled out in front of you

>>4132335
I will not denigrate myself by having an argument-based discussion with a middle aged failed man. Talk about PoE or leave the thread, and if you need to seethe in impotent rage, do so privately.

the funniest thing about this game was balance spergs pushing updates just to kill specific builds

>>4134626
I know the Winter expansion added items that were meant to be not balanced.

>>4143669
If only the game would've had the quality of the wm 1 and 2.

>>4143669
>I know the Winter expansion added items that were meant to be not balanced.
My favorite example is that one weapon that was intended to inflict (X damage/sec) * duration, so higher INT made it last longer and do more total damage. But due to retardation, they coded it as (X damage / duration) so higher INT gave less damage over time, and dumping INT like a retard made it dump all of the damage over a shorter time, giving higher damage over time

>>4147366
That's PoE in nutshell.

The "gotta make it all systematic and orthogonal, that way it will be perfect" autism that made the PoE system offputting, shitty and not fun to use. Soulless.
Another shit I hate: regularised buff/affliction system in Deadfire.

I love the story but the ruleset is such a barf.

>>4147366
How come this was never patched

>>4147378
>regularised buff/affliction system in Deadfire
Meaning how they cancel each other

>>4147378
For me Deadfire is the opposite: the perfect(ed) RTWP system used to tell an awful story.
It's a shame because it also looks great.

>>4147382
the tiers (with their names that are impossible to remember, but that is just bonus shitpoints)

Why should magic buffs be a autistic grid of effects? Man I hated that.
The cancellation was actually a curious idea, but probably still stupid to apply globally to everything.

system for sake of system instead of coming up with interesting, cool and unique spells and effects

What are those npcs where I just see their soul and text text text and there is no other interaction?

>>4147416
background extras used to "fill" the world
they are backer-created as a reward, and AFAIK none have relevancy for the actual plot (which is a missed opportunity but they understandingly couldn't share the whole lore and story with the backers, plus of course you have no guarantee they would write stuff fitting in properly).

>>4147424
I much prefer the system in PoE1 with having fag propaganda in clearly marked, side content rather than in poe2, where fag propaganda was the main storyline.

>>4147424
Ah, so that's what they are, I think I'll just ignore them all then.

>>4147453
Yeah, at a point I started to do it too. Not that I was that opposed, but there's lots and it tends to be a long read.
It was a good illustration of the scope of Watcher ability. Perhaps it's better than if there was so much flavor-only "readings" that were actually original writing of the game authors. If it was so, you would feel like you are missing out unless you read them all.

>>4147453
The game does a real disservice to itself in the backer characters. Because they're literally everywhere it trains you to just ignore all npcs. But there are quite a few npcs that give great info just standing around.

Pillars and Deadfire are comfy and indulgent, could be a little more playful or dude coded but otherwise high marks.

>>4131613
PoE1 is slop but The White March is good, so the game is not completely worthless. The problem is that The White March is locked inside PoE1 instead of being an actually solid standalone CRPG.

>>4131613
Pic unrelated? Did you mean to post bg3?

This is a meme opinion, often repeated. The expansions are the same shit as the base game.
