Lopov: Those were drakes. Pillars of Eternity does not have Wyverns. They are essentially the same thing though.

The fishmen are Laugerfeth, an aquatic race of monsters added by the White March dlcs.

The dragon looks pretty big when you are standing in front of it!


Acadian: January grew up with the internet, so she always checks the cheat guide!


macole: I don't know. That is a real picture of the grand canyon. I saw it and instantly thought that Stormcrow must be there.

[Acadian]

Nice shots. Those detection aides for stealthing make great sense. It is nice being able to pause combat to issue orders and control how quickly combat proceeds. A necessity really if you're controlling a group of NPCs. No doubt which one is Stormcrow in that last shot!

[Lopov]

Can you explore every inch of an island or are you set to a few predetermined locations and can travel between them?

On the edge of skeleton's hearing.

Interiors are very detailed.

Enemies look very diverse.

Stormchild!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: It is definitely a lot easier to control the team in PoE2 than it was in the other games.

Lopov: You can explore the islands, but only from the strat map, which does not have anything on it for most islands. At best there are one or two spots where you click on an orchard and get some fruit in your inventory, or a pond and get water. Sometimes there is an old battle site or cemetery, which you click on and it gives you some text to search it. Hours go by, and you might be rewarded by an item or some money. Once in a great while there is an actual dungeon. You can see all these things from the strat map without having to actually land on the island and search for them.




January disarms a ruffian

Don't look back!

Boom!

Jan is called the Stormcrow for a reason

Battling the reptilian hordes

[Lopov]

You can see all these things from the strat map without having to actually land on the island and search for them.

This is nicely evident in the Reptilian Hordes pic.

Dressed like Jack Sparrow.

Aloth merely wants to warm up the bandits.

Now that's a storm!

[Acadian]

Haha, Lopov is right – nice Jack Sparrow outfit.

The only Rolling Flame that really hurts is the one you don’t see!

Stormcrow opens up a can of shock and awe!

[SubRosa]

Lopov: I like the piratey Vailian clothes. They are nice for when you are starting out and don't need a lot of armor, yet.


Acadian: Rolling Flame is a really fun spell in Pillars 2. It looks really cool when you watch it roll across the screen, and it typically flattens whoever it hits.




Avery sent over the Stormcrow armor

Not hard to tell which one is January

This was just ewww...

Sending off the boarding party

Sacred Lotus seeds

This is one creepy-looking place

[Acadian]

Neat. Jan is the one with the short circuit. Eww is right - even the name 'cave grub' sounds pretty yuck.

[SubRosa]

Fireball + Gunpowder barrels = excitement!

Fire Giants

Spirits

Fireball Arrow

Jan has a new hat

Having a devil of a time

[macole]

a lot of fire being thrown around in those pics. That devil would have Kaleah cowering in the corner I'm sure.

[Acadian]

Nice to follow Jan’s adventures and that she seems to be enjoying PoE.

Quite an explosion! With no gunpowder in TES of course, ESO has some quests where you can set off barrels of ‘kindlepitch’ as part of the quest to bring down a mineshaft or such.

Those fire giant are pretty darn big!

I expect there’s an interesting story associated with all those spirits.

Fireball arrows look pretty potent. I believe I do recall using them in BGII.

A new Golden Saint hat for Jan!

And finally, a red winged twilight?

[Lopov]

The first pic looks like Mass Effect, if played from isometric perspective!

Fire giants - uh oh! I remember them from Baldur's Gate II.

That's a lot of spirits.

What an arrow!

Her hat looks like Elven hat.

There's no party until the demon shows up.

[Renee]

Hey, what menu mod are you using?? That is really handsome. Gosh, I hope it's not DarniFIED UI. I tried Darn for Oblivion a couple years ago but its fonts are too small / could not be made larger, and my TV is several feet away from my bed.

Oops wrong game. Sorry. What game is this?

[SubRosa]

macole: There is a lot of fire in my PoE games. Fire is one of the most prevalent of destruction type spells in them, and I like to use my wizard like the equivalent of calling in heavy artillery or an air strike. The rest of the party holds their position, while the wizard lobs one fireball after another right in front of them. Most of the bad guys don't live to reach my front line fighters.


Acadian: The fire giants were really cool. They are the chosen ones of Magran, the Fire Goddess.

All the spirits at the dock are from your first visit to the capital. An annoying harbor master comes to make fun of you and your crew for being Dyrwood farmers. Berath - the goddess of death and rebirth whose herald you are - suggests you show her your power. That is how.

The red winged twilight is actually just an imp. But one that has gotten really, really big. It is one of the most dangerous boss fights in the game.


Lopov: Demons make a party!


Renee: This is Pillars of Eternity 2, which I have been playing for about a month, and I just beat like a red-haired stepchild. Ph83R M3 N00b$!!





I have a ton of PoE2 pics.

By the way, the world is ending

Eothas

[Lopov]

Anyone can be a lich these days.

The axe looks even bigger than a minotaur.

This girl's on fire!

Love the pic with the rogue god in the background.

It's the black kitty!

The guardian looks robotic.

The weather machine reminds me of the centurion dynamo core.

Eothas is huge!

[Acadian]

That dracolich is an interesting critter. A briarheart-style heart hole!

Ominous portal!

Wow, an abominable snowminotaur.

Nice shot of January.

Guardian of Ukaizo looks like the Dwemer got ahold of some dracolich plans?

That ancient weather machine looks a lot like the orrery.

Eothas is one big dude!

[SubRosa]

Time to slot in and run Shadowrun Returns.



Jan is voting for the dragon

Jan's first team of hired Shadowrunners

Jan's lightning bolt spell

An example of going into overwatch mode. With action points remaining, click on the arc symbol to the right of your gun and ammo type. You will shoot whatever moves into the yellow arc

Bugs

Here come the bug spirits

An example of the matrix, with two team deckers, and their ESPs in white, with the IC in red

These funky magic circles on the floor are ley lines. If your mage stands on them, you get bonuses to hit, damage, and so on.

[Acadian]

Glad you and Jan enjoying Shadowrun. It sounds like lots of action.

[SubRosa]

Back to Neverwinter Nights 1 again with Shadows of Undrentide.

The scorpion king

[Acadian]

Nice to see January enjoying NWN1 after her somewhat rocky start you mentioned in the other thread. Do I gather she is running solo? Though I never played NWN nor TESIII, the pix remind me a bit of shots from the Morrowind game.

I smiled when I saw Jan with the Scorpion King. I pretty much liked everything The Rock did related to those 'Mummy' movies.
