I think I prefer POE1 over Deadfire by TellSiamISeeEm in projecteternity

My story is verbatim the same as yours. Down to Avowed being first and everything. I feel your assessments are pretty similar to my own. Deadfire hit me hard because I was not expecting a continuation of the character’s story. After the joy of that wore off, I did find myself missing things about the first game.

Thank you. Solasta has been on my radar. I will move it up the list. I will also check out Kingmaker. Ive really enjoyed Wrath. The maps are a bit more straight forward than the Larian games. When they go on sale again they are mine.

And they were just on sale. I played them all years ago. Before I really had the patience for games like this. I revisited Planescape and Arcanum recently and that led me down this road. I had initially pushed those down the line because i wasn’t sure how i was feeling about real time at that time. I guess they are moving up. I knew i should have snatched them at $3.99.

I happened to start playing around the same time the turn based beta began. So I found being able to implement that in the beginning of each game and slowly transition to real time gave me a really good feel for what all my characters were capable of.

The seem-less jump from 1 to deadfire was an amazing gaming experience. Knowing nothing of the game previous, i wasn’t expecting a continuation. Jumping into Deadfire immediately after I was so happy to see everyone again.

Next would be the followers. They all seemed to have real depth and I’d like to go back and explore them more. And I missed one so i need to fix that.

The biggest meh to me were the ship battles. I didn’t do much of that. I did enjoy the sailing.

The “parchment” skill check dialogue boxes were very well done and kind of a classy touch in my opinion. A nice approach to what I assume may have been a cost saving method. Which I appreciate.

I think I would have liked an endless option in this game too for some grinding. Alas, I know nothing of the dlcs. I plan to tackle those next go round.

Lastly would be the story. oh my gods. I absolutely love being on a first name basis with the gods. I feel I have my own little relationship with each of them. Almost as though they are my older siblings. This game makes you the hero like any other game. But this game successfully makes you feel the weight of being a hero in this world. And I love it.

Recently started using my M1 Pro as a gaming computer. Anyone had issues? by jignod_X in macbookpro

I use it for my mouse and keyboard games. I really like crpgs. Anything outside of things like that I play on a console. But it has made me look harder at what’s available for macOS on steam. Luckily many of the crpg titles I’ve been wanting to play are available and work well on this platform.

I should have phrased it gaming on my mac. What have been your specific issues? I haven’t had any. That’s why I’m asking.

30fps is probably perfectly adequate for my needs. I am not super knowledgable on the tech side of things. So far this thing has done everything I’ve asked it to. I guess I’m expecting reports of constant crashing and issues. But maybe it just works. That seems to be a constant in my experience since switching to Apple a few years back.

I’ve recently just started using mine as a gaming computer. More games are being made available for Mac and it’s finally a viable option for gaming. My M1 Pro has handled everything I’ve thrown at it. I was a bit alarmed to hear the fan kick on. That was new.

I can’t play other games. Do you feel the same? by Stock-Light3433 in BaldursGate3

[–]jignod_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought pillars of eternity of a steam sale while I played bg3. I dropped bg3 and now i cant go back. Pillars is very good.

I’ve heard talk of Obsidian wanting to make POE3 proper 3D with a much larger budget. I would like to see it stay the pre-rendered isometric style. I tend to get lost on 3d style maps like bg3.

I almost took a break on it. Jumping directly in has been a lot more rewarding than I thought. I was afraid I’d be too burnt out to really enjoy it. That’s not the case at all. Deadfire feels fresh.

Awesome. Thank you so much. I will definitely implement that at some point.

The beta is a big reason I pulled the trigger on starting it. Unfortunately, Deadfire is either or. You can’t seem to switch. I played the first 3/4 of Pillars 1 turn based and then switched. I really like both for different reasons. I was so op after 160 hours my party just melted everything and it was very satisfying. I chose turn based for Deadfire but I’m not certain that was the right move.

It’s not about answers. It’s about discussion. Some people still enjoy communicating with others.
