Known Issues:

Displayed version numbers across platforms for this release are not accurate. (Don’t worry, all content is the same between versions!)

Steam builds incorrectly display 3.4.xxxx.

Displayed version: 1.3.4.1377
Accurate Version: 1.3.7.1377

This issue has been resolved for the next release, and all platforms should use the same version numbers going forward.

This update is currently unavailable for OSX & Linux. We are investigating bringing these platforms up to speed as part of a future patch.

I am in awe.

[Oyster Sauce]

I know what we're playing next month!

[Vergil]

Getting things fixed for the easter egg in Avowed that let's you play all of PoE

[The_Mask]

I'm trying to distance myself from this thread, but I can't handle the information.

13 Gb after 7 years since the last patch dropped.

Why?!?

[1998]

Is it good now?

[rusty_shackleford]

Turn-based mode for the original game, looks like soyer worked on it this time, appears to address dex/recovery/etc., being completely ignored in deadfire's turn-based. I just skipped forward and he mentioned it so I don't know the specifics.

[Acrux]

It's nice to see that that you can switch between modes, because the thought of endless kobold xaurip fights was not appealing. But he also says they are increasing lethality in turn-based - I wonder if that carries over to the RTWP as well?

Also, really interesting that they will tie the number of actions within a turn to your DEX (and I suppose other factors).

[Fitz]

Can't see TB mode fixing any of the existing issues in PoE. My thinking is that this is made to bring new people to Eora, which aligns well with the new consumer trend of "I'm not just going to play the latest game in the series, I'm going to play them all" which has been more common online in recent years. Well, that and the uprise of popularity in Turn Based too.

It's going to be interesting to see if this somehow snowballs into producing PoE3.

[rusty_shackleford]

The dlc for it was pretty good

[rusty_shackleford]

really wish they would have put this time into acquiring tyranny and finishing it

[Fitz]

One of the best even. I haven't played White March without the upscaling, saved that option for a different playthrough. But even then I don't see myself preferring TB to RTwP.

They really did something special with the RTwP in Pillars, it's a giant part of the games identity. If they wanted to make a TB Pillars they should have just went ahead and do a Pillars3 or, you know, just make Avowed be a turn based game and not a Skyrim clone. That would have made so much more sense. Instead they just watered down even more what Pillars of Eternity is all about.

With things as they are this whole TB mode beta/patch looks like something to keep Soyer busy and earn his paycheck. It also feels like this is partially riding the waves that BG3 created which adds a bit of a pathetic flavour to it. Why not stick to your guns and focus on perfecting RTwP with your next title? Wouldn't that be much more ambitious? I'm getting ahead of the situation, but you get my drift.

[Spacekiddo]

I have the first game never played it tho because I heard Obsidian became ****** Larian 2. Is the game worth playing?

[rusty_shackleford]

It's pretty decent except for the last third of the base game or so. DLC is very good.
It was right before woke libtard ******** became really mainstream in games. It's actually right on the edge because there was a backer dialogue in the game that made fun of ********, and it got removed in a patch post-release.

[Irenaeus]

I liked even the last third of the base game, but it has less content than the parts before and the main town feels a bit tackled in. I liked the resolution with my own interpretation. Then again, it's been years since I last played and maybe it hasn't aged well.

Thanks rusty, I´ll check it out

[ghardy]

Would you recommend the turn-based mode?

[Acrux]

I looked at the steam forums today and it sounds like the beta has launched pretty buggy. If you want turn based it sounds like you should wait.

But, honestly I can't forsee TB adding much. The White March dlcs are far and away the best thing about this game.

[Fitz]

I wouldn't bother. Better to play it with RTwP since all the encounters were designed that way. Not to mention free beta testing a 10 year old game for a massive corporation is not my idea of a good time.

[ghardy]

If I ever want to try Pillars of Eternity for the two White March expansions, should I buy them one by one, or opt for one of these bundles?

How much of the other stuff is simply fluff?

I would suggest to buy on GOG, if you're going to. That way you can see each patch they release and apply it as you want.

And I would also suggest getting both expansions. It does not matter how. The first part is the set-up, the second part is the pay-off and some other interesting adventures.

It was a gravestone saying something like "This dude wore a dress in life and that's funny."

Just post the link to the steam store directly, no need for [media][/media] tags.

Apparently it doesn't work with DLCs.

[Tweed]

It was a poem about a guy who slept with someone he thought was woman, but it was a man, so he killed himself. ****** got big mad over it.

There's no embed for package pages

I'd recommend pirating it tho
