Pillars Of Eternity turns 10 years aged this week, and developers Obsidian are celebrating with a spot that "addresses a wide scope of fixes and improvements crossed visuals, combat, quests, and more". Oh, and they've besides announced plans to springiness the real-time-with-pausing RPG a turn-based combat mode.
What did you get for your 10th birthday? If it wasn't a turn-based combat mode, past your parents officially emotion you little than Obsidian does Pillars Of Eternity. You mightiness privation to bring that up astatine the adjacent household gathering. I'm already texting my dad.
The forum station revealing each this shares small astir however the caller turn-based strategy volition work, but I deliberation we tin each hold that developers should capriciously adhd turn-based modes to games much often. I, for one, anticipation to spot much improvement teams digging up past real-time games and sadistically grafting connected inaugural stats and bid bars, similar Frankenstein wannabes going done a Clockwork phase.
Imagine if alternatively of a clump of cannabis-skinned AK47s and seemingly AI-generated anime women, the adjacent Call Of Duty contented plop transformed Warzone into Final Fantasy Tactics. Imagine if Street Fighter had a dual-turn strategy derived from deckbuilders, with players queuing up attacks simultaneously. (This has been done, yes? Surely it's been done. One of the Puzzle Fighter variants, perhaps.)
With manus connected heart, I cannot deliberation of a real-time crippled I wouldn't emotion to rediscover arsenic a turn-based crippled - it worked retired wonderfully for Gears Of War. Admittedly, this is partially due to the fact that I americium precise aged for a games writer and present fearfulness and despise immoderate crippled that expects maine to outmaneouvre thing faster than a soap bubble.
The different affirmative here, I guess, is that it's a smidgeon of reassurance for radical who interest that the Pillars beingness volition beryllium first-person real-time from present connected out, fixed the evident occurrence of Avowed. Perhaps Avowed volition get a turn-based mode next? Something successful the vein of Sega's Valkyria Chronicles, perhaps? Anyway, Obsidian volition beryllium soliciting playtesters for their caller mode "in the adjacent future". As for that caller patch, the afloat changelog is here.
