- Pillars of Eternity is a game that feels both classic & brand-new, and I wouldn't expect anything less from something developed by Obsidian and published by Paradox...

Fun fact about the tavern, there was a kickstarter reward that amounted to someone who paid a lot of money getting to be involved in the game design in a minor way, like naming the tavern, writing lines for the innkeeper or something similar. But Obsidian could never contact the person, and after repeated attempts at contacting said backer, they decided to respin the story of the tavern with the "owner left" thread.
oh my god i love it
That's good thinking. Thanks for that tidbit. I helped kickstart the game as well (but not nearly enough to be the tavern owner, lol)
"Developed by Obsidian. Published by Paradox. That's pretty much all of my interests in one place" - but where's the "...meets FTL"?
It's live action with pause. :)
Pillars 2 has a ship I guess :D
@@davidbodor1762 Well, in PoE II we can check the following. Got a ship, check. Real time combat with pause, check. Can play with perma death, check.... I also think there is a setting to disable save scrumming, so I will add a check mark for rogue like also.... soo yeah.. can be pretty much like FTL :P
It's missing hexes too.
Jon: "It´s really good!"
Me: "OH REALLY?"
Next you'll be telling me that Dragon Age and KotoR are pretty good.
@@ManyATrueNerd Fallout New Vegas - is good.
@@ChulioRCHulio *goot
@@ManyATrueNerd Excuse u Jon KotoR and KotoR 2 are Amazing.
@@TheMunz G.O.A.T
The amulet doesn't do the exact same thing, Jon, you were just reading the bonuses of your currently equipped item. The amulet gives you bonus max endurance.
35 minutes in: "You know, this looks really familiar"
Checks Steam history. Played for 65 hours back in 2016
Yep, old age properly setting in now!
THIS NEEDS TO BE A FULL SERIES
AMEN HALLELUJAH!
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
@@TakuVR BECAUSE WE CAN!
I LOVE LANTERN!
AAAAAAAAA!!
I love how Jon, before he gets even remotely familiar with the game, goes "No weapons run! Let's go!"
Caesar Loðbrok to be fair, Moon Godlike Monks are pretty great, so he chose well for that
Monks are OK without any weapons, especially in the early game
Later though...
Monk fists are maybe the best weapon in the game, so yeah he'll be fine.
He did also pick a monk
@@tite93 Monks can tank damage in the late game pretty well, and he can leave the DPS to Aloth and the Grieving Mother
"There is a Young Wolf, but I know nothing about its resistances because I am not a wolfologist. I should have put some points into wolfology." - Jon, MATN
Ah this game is definitely gonna be a classic, it's one of the best new age RPGs made. A bit complex and hard to understand at first, especially with the 4 different types of defense + armor but once you get it, the game is really awesome.
Deflection - Lowers the chance to be hit by weapon type attacks for the most part, even spells that are more physical-like or weapon-like.
Reflex - Lowers the chance to be hit by area of effect attacks/spells.
Fortitude - Lowers the chance to be hit by spells/attacks that disable or stun or target your constitution overall. Things like disease/sickness type spells as well.
Will - Lowers the chance to be hit/affected by mind control spells/attacks or things that lower your resolve, anything fear related basically.
Armor - Hard armor reduces the amount of damage you take instead of giving a chance to dodge like the above four stats.
Depending on random chance and the first four defenses, all attacks can be one of the following - Critical hit, Normal hit, Graze or Miss.
Crits deal bonus damage, normal deals normal obviously, graze deals half and miss deals no damage. So against enemies with high deflection you may not deal full damage with most your attacks, but by using a spell or attack that targets a different defense instead of deflection you would be able to get full damage. The key to combat is basically figuring out what defense to target against what enemy.
Jon and Pillars? Truly the best birthday gift I’ve received.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Rupert!
Same, feeling old already.
Knowing this game has an awful lot of reading involved and Jon's track record with that, I'm terrified
While I appreciate that you use live streams to get through more games more quickly, I feel this style of game would be better for a full series.
Okay, Jon, some small tips in case you would want to run this game: (spoiler free, of course)
- endurance is HP in this game, it regenerates after fights - to some extent
- if you run out of endurance, you fall unconscious and will get back on your feet after the fight is over but will get a wound (not the same as for monks), like the rogue had in the beginning (minus for abilities and so on) which will only go away after rest
- the game is kind of dnd-like, so you have Vancian magic (memorization, single use per rest and so on) and similar abilities like in your regular dnd games
- might is tricky: it means physical and spiritual strength as well, so your wizard should have pretty high might as it will increase spell damage
- use personal inventory only for temporary stuff, put everything else in your stash as it is always accessible
- some stuff goes directly to your stash (like gems and other tradeable valuables)
- your stash has limits too, so sell the junk regularly
- don't forget to put potions and other items to your quick access items in your inventory, so that you can access them during fights
- in the choose-your-own-adventure like dialogue box events you can use one-use only items: hammer and chisel to tear down walls, prybars to open stuff, grapple and rope to climb, and some fire making tools to... well making fire (you don't necessarily need these if you have the abilities or skills or whatnot to replace them)
- this is an obisidian game so expect to have multiple solutions to the same problem
- enemy encounters only yield xp until you reach a limit (shown after each fight), when you reach this limit / enemy type, you no longer gain xp to fight that type of enemy, as you have already learned all that the enemy can show in combat (this is to discourage grinding)
- don't be a jack of all trades when it comes to skills. And have someone specialize in Mechanics (maybe Aloth, lore is mostly useful to the main character only) so that you can disarm traps
- talk regularly to your companions (click on their face and then click the talk bubble icon)
- Waidwen's legacy is the main thing in the game: it is a curse or illness or something like that which causes children to be born without a soul (hollowborn). they vegetate but are not truly alive. this is important for story reasons
Very nice run up! I love these games. Deadfire is awesome.
I Haven't see the video but is this going to be a full series? I hope so, is an amazing game
John B wasn’t that a live stream series?
As well as Deadfire! I have been waiting 4 damn years for this video!
It would be an awful lot of just reading out stuff. Good or not, these kind of games, especially writing crazy ones like poe, make poor series unless edited a LOT. Like Jon does here. Cut out the dialogues and give a summary of what happened (not complaining, it's necessary) or not read them at all (bear cave) .
Means you have to play a long time, for the short final video. And a lot of editing work. For probably not very many views.
5Andysalive he could always just skip to Deadfire, it’s fully voice acted.
John B he’s not even gotten out of Ostagar! The game really hits its stride after that. Although I do like all the intros... actually you know what, I think I’m just tired of Ostagar because I’ve done it 100+ times.
if you don't play pillars of eternity II after this, im gonna riot
I second this... and will warm up the tar... just to be sure.
Deadfire *actually* refers to the state of the world after we all riot, death and fire
the deadfire is really more interesting than the dyrwood, even if some of their ideas didn't totally pan out.
comyuse It’s more interesting but resonated less with me if that makes sense? The ideas were more unique and original but it was more bright and upbeat and I liked the dreariness of the Dyrwood.
I found them both compelling, the Dyrwood for everything but the physical setting, because a feudal colonial-era fantasy America is a pretty unique and neat concept, but the environment was boring. The Deadfire looks way more attractive and is still neat as it's an analogue of the Carribean. I don't know if most people noticed but all of the nations and areas are rough analogues of empires and nations from the 16th to 19th century.
"This could be a livestream series"
Yes! Would not mind it being a none Livestream series but still yes! I can't wait to see you see more of Eora. Genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. My Fire Godlike Priest of Magran remains one of my favorite characters.
Im the same way with my atheist fire godlike bleak walker.
Sigh. Non-live stream would be so much better...
@@JulieanGalak but then it wouldn't be played. He is too busy nowadays
Michael Termine - yeah... I love his one-offs, but keep wishing he'd do some of them as longer Non-live series.
Seeing you diss the earth godlike hurts when that’s what I always play as
Flaming demon, haloed angel, death incarnate, or... I'm green and I have a flower.
Many A True Nerd ouch
Pyre - your going to need some treatment for that 2nd degree burn
@@ManyATrueNerdEver heard of flower power?
Yeah, well, NONE of you can wear a glorious and beautiful helm made out of a stag’s glorious head.
I would totally watch a series on this.
man didn't know I needed this...so caught up demanding subnautica, DA, kotor etc I've forgotten you've never made a video about this game
Jon always overplays these combat systems. The big advantage of pausable real time fights is that you don't have to micromanage against ordinary enemies. The build-in scripts can do just fine against the odd wolf. But you can against harder ones. Wereas turn based makes even simple fights last for half an hour.
He kinda get's it later on.
i thought the AI just autoattacks if you dont give any commands
@@madthundercat You can setup scripts to preform more complex attacks based on different criteria. I do seem to recall that you could make more complex scripts in POE II than in POE I though. I generally didn't use the feature though as I enjoyed micro-managing every combat needlessly :P .
I just started my first playthorugh this week, loving the coincidence of this uploads timing
Same
38:21 "OH NO MY LOOT-MULES ARE DEAD!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CARRY ALL THIS" lol! XD
but... but... he can carry all of it...
Yeah, he clearly missed the stash...
Oh no, I m screaming at my screen, but he doesnt hear me... ;)
48:38 Um, that was the item you compared the necklace to, it didn't say the necklace has the exact same stat effects as the cloak.
Jon -1 perception strikes again
jon at the beginning of the video: "there's disengagement rules and attacks of opportunity."
me: "wow, will matn be one of the few people who doesn't take huge amounts of damage from attacks of opportunity when first learning the game?"
jon, throughout the rest of the video: eats tons of damage from disengagement attacks...
"Oh yeah I'm having a wibble"
I love Jon Speak
I have been waiting for this for 5 years now. Why you haven't made a series of this and the sequel is beyond me.
Hopefully having played it you've come to your senses, Jon!
I know this is a month old but I would love to see more of this!
Jon, though your characters' personal inventories have limited storage, the 'stash' doesn't. You can go loot mad!
Well holy shit! I just picked Deadfire back up again today completely independently. And now you’re playing the first entry! This one’s great, hope you enjoy and play all the way through.
This is the game that really got me into the genre after I saw your Tyranny video and played that, glad we get to see it now
Jon: never played PoE
Also Jon: Accidentally builds one of the most optimal characters in the game (Godlike Monk)
Unless they changed something since last I played monks were pretty bad compared to the rest of classes
@@deeznutz57 Possibly? I forgot exactly how, but there were a lot of Steam Guides talking about how broken Godlike Monk was when I was looking for fun builds to try once. Could be different now though
That bear had a good scar spam counter solution with those artful dodges.....must have seen you coming?
48:27
ULTIMATE JON MOMENT!
He is Reading the info of the Cloak thinking it is the amulet.
Very cool that you're playing this!!!
Hoping to see this return as a series, even if just a mini series, and not as a livestream. With all the reading and managing this game has this would not be most optimal game to stream.
It would be hard to put into a mini-series. Both of my campaigns took 100+ hours to complete, but I was going for 100%
@@tite93 Jon's done mini series before. And there are some which Jon didn't finish, just going a few parts or so. I'm fine with that given the game's length and scale.
If you sneak ... You can find secret stashes and such ... So dont forget to sneak now and again.
I'd love to see more of this. It's such a good game and Jon playing it is bound to be fun to watch :)
48:28 It says "Properties: Max Endurance Bonus." Don't know how effective it is though.
I was so excited to see you playing this.
Without spoiling anything, there is a second companion in this town who is a little easy to miss. Don't forget to grab him before leaving.
Just finished this game last week. Such a rewarding time playing through this and deadfire. We're going to need more
So happy to see you finally get into PoE Jon, hope this turns into a series and you go all the way to Deadfire.
I would love to see this as a full series!
one of my favorite games, please make it a full series
Yay for more adventures of Captain Punchy!
This a really good game Jon and hope that you will be able to play the rest of it eventually my fellow godlike
1:01:57 - Ah, Matt Mercer... the man of many voices, yet still recognisable anywhere!
So hyped to see this in my feed. One of my favorite games in modern history played by my favorite RUclipsr. Let's gooo. If real-time with pause gets a bit overwhelming, PoE2 has a turn-based mode which I enjoyed.
I hope it's a full series but i'll def take a live steam, i know your plate is full but this would be delightful akd;sfj
Please make this a series!
I'd love to see a full series of this and the sequel.
Jon’s character went to honourhall orphanage. Dw Aventus has you covered!
I've tried quite a few times to get into this game but I just can't deal with the Real Time With Pause combat, so I'm really looking ofrward to seeing your playthrough, Jon :D
I hope we get to see more of this game, it really is excellent. Also, I feel Jon would really like the second game since it allows for turn based mode rather than real time with pause
Fun fact, Aloth and Eder are both voiced by Matthew Mercer, of Overwatch (McCree) and Critical Role (Dungeon Master) fame!
He also voiced the male 'sinister' voice. So you can have a Matt Mercer character, with two Matt Mercers in your party.
@@TheMrVengeance Didn't know that. Maximum Matt!
Pillars of Eternity, but it's a real time strategy game.
6 rangers, 6 bears
It's fully possible and a really fun way to replay the game.
Now I have to start a new playthrough. Way haven’t I thought about that...
@@TheSykoRC Have fun! Positioning is really important. Use your environment to create choke points.
Please make this a full series.
series! series!
Please play more of this!!
"the bear is still around" !!! :D
Please make a series out of this.
You have a bottomless chest :D It is the little chest icon you have next to your character face when you loot items
Do a series of this, pleeeeeeeeease!
I would love a livestream of this.
I really hope you actually play through the whole game! This would be an excellent series for sure!
goes from fallen angel ruling over hell to angel of death guiding souls to the afterlife "yeah that's the bad guy"
I picked up this game a few weeks ago. It's my first isometric RPG and a bit of a learning curve.
The trying to loot expencives off Calisha and Heodan. So painful to watch. You figuring out the stash moments later, so gratifying to watch. :)
How does xp work in the first pillars of eternity? I picked a lock and the combat log said I got 10xp. But when I check character sheet it says I only have 6/1000 experience. I have one person in my party by the way, calisca. Please help.
I hope you make this a series considering Avowed is almost upon us.
Awesome, was thinking just the other day that it was odd that Jon never featured PoE on the channel. Here's hoping for more adventures of Captain Punchy and His Wizard Friend! If you do play more Jon, just be sure to read up about the different PoE gods, particularly Eothas, Magran and Woedica, who tie in heavily with the story. The PoE pantheon is one of the best in fantasy fiction. Incidentally, Ondra is your "God", being a Moon Godlike.
Jon finally trying Pillars, what a lovely surprise! Would watch the hell out of the livestream or a proper series, this is one of my favourite games of all time, and PoEII, dare I say, is even better. My only advice is to restart on a harder difficulty (but maybe not Path of the Damned just yet): while the combat system is rather complex, the normal level just doesn't seem to provide any challenge to someone who already knows a thing or two about RPGs such as yourself.
More Captain Punchy and his Wizard Friend!
Really love this game. Choices have proper consequences later in the game. Just FYI the pillars that you lit in the side chamber would have deactivated the trap floor if you hadn't already done it manually. The game is good in that it gives you lots of different ways to solve problems depending on what character you play
This is an awesome game. If you like this, you should check out pathfinder: kingmaker. It just launched on aug 18th on consoles, this/that/divinity original sin are the best things to happen to gaming in forever. So glad these infinity engine style games are coming back. This was the golden age.
How does xp work? I’m at the very beginning and started with 0 xp. I picked a lock and my combat log says I received 10 xp, but when I check my character sheet it says I only have 6/1000 experience. Why is this?
"thingy mcjibjib" That's going on the soundboard!
As someone who is currently in there first playthrough 20 hours in, this makes me happy to see
Paused the video 40 mins in so not sure if you have already figured this out - when you are looting you can put things in your backpack by clicking on the chest button. You could have carried all that stuff you left behind on your companions' dead bodies. Good luck with this game Jon, I hope you carry on.
More Pillars would be great^^ Hope you take a look at PoE II as well.
Surely Ivan Ooze was a 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie' reference
It has to be and im so happy
Started this game a little while ago, then they announced Avowed, then almost every youtuber does a playthrough, and now jon is talking about a livestream (read as a Vince McMahon meme). I'm not a fan of the real time with pause games, and I still don't get all of the mechanics, but it's just written so damn well that I spend all of my quarantine time on this game.
I'm so happy Jon figured out he could loot his dead friends 😂
I understand why it happened (it *is* a hidden item), but I'm really bummed Jon didn't find the Disappointer... *sniff*
The Disapointer disappoints again
So glad to see you play PoE, one of my favourite games ever. It would make a great series. I'm not sure how it would be live as there are mixed instances through it that are almost impossible to pass until you are levelled and equipped. BTW, well done on the bear, that's usually quite difficult with a single character. PoE2 would also really suit your style..it's a less intense game with much more humour.
I loved Pillars of Eternity 1. Such a rich story and world. Great writing and characters too, particularly the companions. In my opinion Pillars of Eternity 2 is even better, takes all the great things about the first game and then improves the gameplay mechanics and the class system. Plus it continues the story from the first game and you can import all your choices from the first game!
Please! Do a full series! And Mass Effect 3 too!
Damn Jon killed the bear.I am amazed yet not trully surprised at this madman
You're gonna need some weapons that do slashing/piercing damage since your fists only do bludgeoning damage. Damage resistance is extremely important in this game.
I am too fabulous,come all ye bears I will take you all on, this would make a good series.
I hope we do see some more of this :-)
Jon,
A no weapons run would be awesome, it could fill the isometric turn based RPG void left from a lack of Fallout-like games. Please PLEASE make this a thing!
Me: sees hour long Pillars video, gets excited
Video: commentator yells in an echoey room.
Me: Nevermind...
If you liked Pillars of Eternity (And its sequal 'Deadfire') You should check out 'Tyranny' by Obsidian and Paradox interactive.
I do love my isometric RPG's - Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, Pillars of Eternity, Planescape Torment etc :D
I would suggest going into the options menu and turning off the option of seeing checks you can't meet.
PoE has fascinating lore and setting
i hope he makes this into a series. i also hope he eventually plays poe 2, which improves and streamlines upon a lot of poe 1's design
To hotkey an ability, highlight it with your cursor and press an unbound key to assign it, like "C".
"Punch the ooze" seems not very productive
i wish john had done a full playthrough, but looking at the views i guess its not surprising he didn't. I do wonder if he beat it on his own time tho
Full series, live stream doesn't do it justice!
