Pillars of eternity the iron flail6/20/2023 Forget witnesses and evidence, just go with the feeling and pick one side and rule in their favor.ģ. Amazing approach, every justice system in the world should implement this. So I'm supposed to make choices in an RPG game not knowing what it's all about? How can I side with or against Eothas if there is no story whatsoever? Gods don't explain anything because 'I'm only a Watcher so I don't need to know anything' (great writing), and Eothas also says "oh yea, you just let me do this thing and it's all gonna be great". What is Eothas doing? He wants to destroy the Wheel? Ok cool, and what does he want to achieve with that? I've seen countless pages written on this forum about that because no one understands anything (bad writing). These attributes are added to gods in some randomized pointless fashion, and thus for example Woedica seems to be a goddess of justice but she doesn't act like it at all, not in the least (bad writing is what it is).Ģ. I don't even know what Berath is about in any relevant way and as I said a wiki description of "oh that's a god of death / reincarnation / whatever" is by no means helpful in gameplay terms. ![]() What exactly would that be and why is she still mentioning that? I played PoE1 a bit but I don't think I finished the storyline. I supposedly promised something to Berath in PoE1. So, that being said, can someone explain to me who is who in PoE because wiki is useless.ġ. PoE story has the opposite effect on mind. ![]() If you have a sophisticated mind, you can get out of it a lot more than someone who only sees battles and adventure. You know who is fighting whom, why, and what are their goals. Positive example here is Tolkien - his works are the result of clear and powerful mind. A bad writer writes a lot of mumbo jambo and throws a bunch of "deep" words in in order to create an appearance of depth and meaning. A good writer writes what he has in mind, and then if you have a deep mind you get even more out of it. ![]() Just look at the forum - endless debates on "what the writer had in mind". You can tell a badly written story by the fact that no one knows wtf is going on because everything is vague, incomplete, incoherent, things contradict one another and so on.
