trash

Great game, one of the best by virtue of the genre being such a crapshoot. Suffers from the usual Obsidian problem of being completely unfinished and not utilizing the great premise to its full potential. Still worth playing at least once.

>>716131615 (OP)
Game that could have been great, but wasnt.

>>716132086
I hate how the game ends and it just feels like you're about to hit the climax of like the first act
the ending almost entirely ruins the game

>>716131615 (OP)
an amazing cRPG that ends halfway through the story and will never be completed

>>716131615 (OP)
7/10

What i remember the most about this game is how almost every single random enemy is a chick

>>716131615 (OP)
a great game that's missing its last third

Great tech demo for immediate choice and consequence in a CRPG.
Past that it's a buggy mess with no real depth in anything other than variety of outcomes. Tyranny is also very particular in how it wants you to progress and will just fuck you over on side content if you advance the main plot to far.

The only good rtwp combat system ever made. Also, like two enemy types and fun spellcrafting. Theres two storylines but really I cannot imagine playing for the voices of nerat so only one storyline (the nazis). Ultimately this game is what pillars of eternity should've been but sadly rehashing baldur's gate (again) and appealing to manchildren grognards as well as inserting 100 OC characters from backers was the route obsitards went for instead of an actually fun game with fresh ideas.

I sided with scarlet chorus because the other guys were so faggy

>>716131615 (OP)
Wasted potential: the game

>>716131615 (OP)
The last good game from Obsidian. Probably their best game. Sadly those faggots chose to push fund in its PoE slop instead of fully realizing Tyranny.

>>716133985
why do people say they're nazis?
fucks sake it's an early iron-age story, the evil empire is a mix of Assyria and Achaemenid Persia

>>716134110
I never understood chaosniggers so I guess I was talking from ignorance in my post
Oh I didn't explicitly mention the game is unfinished but it's almost implied anyway and is the first thing everyone mentions about the game so whatevs

>>716134246
>PoE
I hate Pillars so fucking much, hands down among the worst fantasy worlds ever conceived with boring premise, races and gods.
Also, blue niggers with fins and renaissance niggers?! Whoa, that's some wild creative designs Obsidian.

>>716134276
All that stuff about the purity of their people seemed pretty nazi to me. They just go on and on about how elite their ppl are and how subhuman the tiersmen are. I know that most of historical civilizations are indeed like that but the game was written by modern day US citizens with college education so that means they definitely went for a 1930's german national socialist theme, or what they think 1930's nazi germany was like anyhow

>>716134508
in theory the chaosniggers have more potential, they just need to stop being retards
elite soldiers, given it's an iron-age story, are just not a good long terms strategy, and elite soldiers that only come from a small population are even worse, at some point you're just going to get attritioned to death

hence why they actually god conquered in the first place

mass recruitment works out a lot more when iron and steel are in the picture

>>716133985
>Theres two storylines but really I cannot imagine playing for the voices of nerat
Ditto, the "lul so randumb XD" chaotic characters always invoke in me the desire to curbstomp them into paste.
The Disfavored are the only acceptable choice, too bad their leader turns out to be a tired pussybitch, but at least he recognizes that and willfully gives you control over the legion.

>>716134847
stop being an idiot
Tyranny is written by people with genuine interest in historical fiction, you notice by just how well it portrays the early iron age style expansion of empires, there's nothing allegorical to the modern day in it

and remember all that stuff about being elite and what not is in part cope on their part because never forget: they're a conquered people, exactly the same as the tiersmen, exactly the same as anyone part of the chorus, they're all legally equal because Kyros demands it, they're still shitscared of opposing you because you're the will of the Law represent

The entire reason they're even allowed to continue their purity BS is because Kyros considers it useful, since it gives them good unit cohesion, but at the same time they're dangerously close to overstepping their boundaries and losing their usefulness, it's why Kyros was perfectly wiling to nuke them, hell the game makes it pretty clear that at some level Kyros had expected the conquest to be a lot harder and was planning to suicide them into the Tiersmen to get rid of them

>>716134843
I love how having coherent and civilized niggers is subconsciously like, a really out there idea to Obsidian. And the fact they gave them a Latin language with italian/spanish accent is funny as well ("Aren't you surprised OUR fiction blacks don't use ebonics?").
Also the little about their world being called "Hel" lmao fuck pillars seriously.
Although Pillars 2 multiclassing was pretty cool imo but then everything else is so lame and cookiecutter its unbelievable

>>716131615 (OP)
I played unarmed because I hate gearing in pretty much every game I play and was pleasantly surprised it was a viable way to play, the spellcrafting is decent too.
But like others said, this game ends as it's about to get interesting, not worth imo.

>>716134843
I've tried playing Pillars like three different times but I just can't finish it, it's so fucking boring.

>>716135285
I mean, the game is very well written, thats kind of why I liked it so much over pillars. Every part of what you mentioned I did notice while playing the game, but nonetheless it's too funny to boil down an entire faction to X or Y and at the end of the day I am making an anonymous 4cuck post but thanks for clarying to any lurkers

>>716131615 (OP)
is this a good entry crpg? I've never really played the genre but I got this game free on Epic. I also got Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pillars of Eternity

>>716135794
fair enough, it's a vietnamese basketweaving forum after all, hard to see who's retarded and who's just trolling

guess though that's part of why people are frustrated with the game, it's well written, better than most Obsidian games, but it just fucking ends out of nowhere in such an unsatisfying way

>>716135957
Play Dragon Age Origins

Its the #1 entry level RPG

Out of the ones u mentioned, from most noob friendly:
Poe > Tyranny > Pathfinder

I will never stop fucking seething at that baby choice.
> Anon... Will you make the super tough horrible decision to murder a baby to keep your army and break the curse, or refuse and lose your whole army support...
> HA! Akthually I clicked on one bookcase so I unlocked the option to tell the mother to just say the baby is not king anymore! Ha!! Tough choice bypass!!

Fuck it and fuck you. What's the point of RPGs and choices if every single game offers a magic rainbow and sunshine option that lets everyone leave happy ever after?? FUCK IT

>>716135702
Mid way through the game, I started to just skim over the dialog, there's too much of it, it's boring and the payoff isn't worth it.

>>716131615 (OP)
A really shitty, dumbed-down version of Pillars of Eternity with le heckin ebin saturday morning cartoon aesthetics.

>>716136195
>a game about bending the rules to your will with creativity lets you bend the rules to your will with creativity
also unless you've been incredibly consistent in only bending the law, not breaking it, doing this has some pretty dire consequences at the end of the game during the trial

>>716131615 (OP)
a game that is easy and it's obvious once you start getting closer to the end how they rushed it and didn't finish

>>716136417
>a game about bending the rules to your will with creativity lets you bend the rules to your will with creativity
>Click on book
So creative!!! Not at all the most bulshit and boring thing possible!!

>>716136309
As opposed to Tyranny or even the Pathfinder games which felt like their dialogues deepened your understanding of any given topic and helped form an opinion of the surrounding world and its people with every minor and major character being a contributor to the tapestry. Josh Sawyer and autistic fucks like him should stay in game design and let people with actual real world experience write the damn games

>>716136782
>Josh Sawyer and autistic fucks like him should stay in game design and let people with actual real world experience write the damn games
Pentiment was really good though.

>>716136782
Sawyer didn't write that much for PoE, only Pallegina's questline. Really weird how much he gets blamed for when as you say he's mostly a design guy on pretty much every project.

>>716136881
I guess its a broken clock type situation. Or maybe its just passion shining through. But yeah, Pilars was and is insufferable to read through.

>>716137004
>only Pallegina's questline
and that was enough to end my first playthrough for several months.

>>716133985
There's four primary routes. Scarlet Chorus, Disfavored, Vendrien Guard (yes, you can side with them) and Anarchist where you side with nobody. All of them have almost entirely unique playthroughs and subdivide into different takes on the same thing (for example you can side with Nerat legitimately, or backstab and body snatch him).

>>716137212
I thought it was pretty good, you get to be basically a chartered company explored sent to fuck over the natives. But then again, chances are you probably didn't play PoE long enough to get anywhere near that point.

>>716136151
what about Inquisition?

>>716137902
Garbage

>>716137902
Slop made for console retards

>>716131615 (OP)
A good game with a fantastic spell crafting system cut short by an incomplete story

>>716137840
Nah I did and it was lame as hell
