Nice video, can see why the game was a classic, and scenes like the Brain Damaged Orc made me lol. Wish he spent more time on the Drow part, or finished the main story rather than wait to try a mod. Especially as the Drow love interest doesn't appear in the video despite being in BG3.

It really seems like western fantasy inevitably either comes down to gay planar shit or billion factions of elves.

Its because of the dominance of D&D as a CRPG setting that you always have planar or elves.
 
I don't watch this channel for the games, I watch it for the peeks into the world of the Slavic internet famous.

Yeah, same. I played most of the games he makes videos on (the ones available in english at least) already, it's the behind-the-scenes shit about the russian/slav dev sphere and the glimpses into the early russian internet that keep me watching. I can't remember which video it was but the one where the devs gave live updates about the game they were working on while simultaneously giving advice on how to properly shoot Mephedrone up your asshole had me in tears, they definitely have a different approach to game developement over there :story:
 
New video

Can't really see how the whole Christianity theme works out. Sounds like the usual generic faith spousing while being corrupt religion.

Also never understood why those games don't give you separate stat allocations between combat and social/exploration rather than a single pool that you will have to minmax.
 
Watching it felt like when you play a remastered game and its just worse than the original, the game is finished compared to the last video but instead of either skipping over stuff already covered in the previous video or extending the runtime it just felt like there was way less substance in the video.

he skips over so many things

He sets his videos up to tell a story rather than 100%. At some point in one of his videos he said his intent was make a character that fits in the world rather that complete everything in a game. I guess a hypothetical would be playing a knight in Skyrim who also happens to bumble through the thieves guild quest. In a video game it’s fun to do everything, but in a more grounded story you simply would not be able to.

Also allows viewers to play through and have their own stories and perspectives as well.
 
New Vid:
Don't have the time to watch all of it atm, but i'm curious what will be his take on the Health-Endurance system - personally, didn't like it: there were many enemies, especially in the early game, that could

focus one char and make him uncouncious, by instantely removing all of his endurance. I also found it weird, that the game world is completely devoid of healers of any kind - no hospitals, clinics or town/village

medicin man/woman present anywhere.

Pillars needs to be studied in its sheer mediocrity. Despite being credited for ushering in the age of modern CRPGs, it is never in anyone's best games of the genre or even remembered for it. Seriously. It's astounding. But it's perfectly understandable. I played through it years ago and can only remember bits and pieces: the most prominent being how boring the game was from Sawyer's retarded over-balancing

I think most people recall more was Tyrrany or Pillars 2, but most brief talks here and there.

Is that really a surprising thing? Its notability in history is being the first one that showed there was still an audience out there but thats about it.

You should've been there for the sheer hype around its release. Some faggots got mad at me for saying they should've marketed the game more if they wanted anyone to hear about it. And, of course, I got the last laugh.

I mean, isn't that how it was with Fallout 1-2? Because at their core, they aren't really good games.

They're not bad, but I wouldn't call them phenomenal or great. All the support for the first two games really comes from the amount of people dedicated to hating modern Bethesda. The funny thing being those who played the original games would know the differences between the first and the second game in terms of tone and writing are massive too.

Well ye, because the first Fallout never had any real identity. It was just copying stuff from Mad Max, Boy and his Dog and possibly Wasteland. Fallout 2 is where the game got it's own "personality", but one can argue that it still copied from other sources, while Bethesda gave the series an actual it thing?
 
I liked Pillars and im not ashamed of admitting it. Dose the game has issues? A ton but, i can also see the love and care that was put into it. As for the endurance system, its fine on lower levels but a pain in the neck if you playing higher difficulty. Some encounters are straight up unfair (especially early game ghost enemies that paralyzes or explode when they die) since the game will just throw enemies at you who will flank you and aim for your casters. Thats why alot of fights you have to create check points were you block enemies at the door/gate with tanks/melees and nuke the group from behind with range attacks.
