Pillars of Eternity Character Creation Guide For Beginners (Customization & Classes 1st Look)

[@ZiggyDGaming]

The first of probably quite a few videos looking at the mechanics in the game, it's quite in depth and engaging! If you haven't already checked out my Role-playthrough series you can catch part 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHPaf2p4jtWNapo

[@ice9planet]

I pre-ordered today. It's a toss up between a Druid or Monk 1st for me(my 2 favorite RPG classes). The animal form choice for Druids seems intriguing. I can't wait!

[@TheTeresu]

That looks so complicated that I could spend my first 10 hours planning out a character or two I might want to use...

[@ZiggyDGaming]

It's great right? :D Every great RPG needs a character creator you can spend hours in. I spent a long time before I started thinking of my character, how I'd like to play them and reading through all the options!

[@CrazyA9116]

So Ziggy, what's better PoE or PoE??

[@ZiggyDGaming]

After careful consideration I think that PoE needs time to shine while PoE has already proven itself.

[@nikolica555]

Hope you can go through more of the mechanical parts of the game before its out. Want to make sure i make my character right.

[@Rusko181]

When gendering was not a thing, beautiful ಥ‿ಥ thanks so much for the video man, very helpful, still

[@christyler4705]

Great job! Thank you for taking the time to explain it all!

[@Jubanen12]

From all the videos I have seen of this game it seems like the Cipher would had been the best character to go with, if one wants to just get a broken class and enjoy... breaking the game lol.. I went with Chanter and they are very cool because, a) they can do all kinda beneficial chants while doing whatever else they are doing, for instance my chanter was good at lore so I was constantly casting spells from scrolls. b) they can summon minions and they are practically the only summoner class in the game.. you can even summon powerful minions like Drakes and Ogres. (also a minor benefit... chanters don't care about high recovery speed since chanting isn't affected by Recovery... far as I know recovery affects only their speed of Invocation casting) The game is really good, I already played it once (took like 75 hours lol!) and I feel like I want to start again, this time maybe do a monk character. If you want to start a game again that takes 60+ hours to complete that is a sure sign that game is a good one.

[@S34G4T3]

and suddenly another amazing game that i had no idea it exist , appears. /o/

[@crypthor2008]

[@TheLordsweapon]

[@budsamin8769]

thanks for your upload :)

[@0DJG70]

I really like the idea of this Makes me miss Baldur's Gate, so I'll definitely be playing this in 3 days :o

[@Evanenites]

Cough and change of topic on 18:49 is pretty funny Ziggy :P

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Oops! haha editing fail

[@Estel2121]

one thing that you should consider is a contest within your twitch channel, people could draw you a badass custom portrait for your main character =p

[@Quiestre]

damn I want this so bad.

[@T3chnici4n]

It releases in a few days!

[@Quiestre]

Mike Sheridan I already preordered it. But why are some people already streaming it?

[@T3chnici4n]

A few people have received media review copies and/or beta access. The embargo ended today so those with early access can now release youtube content and stream the game.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Quiestre Partial embargo lift on review copies that allows us to show the first 15 hours or so of content.

[@salamandarin8626]

Mike Sheridan who run bartertown?!

[@randomdude8877]

No Shapeshift Reptoloid? Im disapointed, since we all know that Reptoloids are with us! Side note, that was just a bad joke. Nice Video, you explain good and understandable ty ty

[@sataricon111]

When is this coming out?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

26th!

[@sataricon111]

Wow....thanks for reminding me about it i forgot all about this game

[@Forkroute]

How is this compared to Path of Exile?

[@malcomalexander9437]

Path of Exile is a Diablo clone, Pillars of Eternity is called a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. So one is a loot grind action game with RPG elements, and the other is a CRPG.

[@dhettinger80]

So close and yet soooo far... the 26th now feels a long ways away.

[@NevikSolskar]

wow, a female warrior that's actually wearing armor and not showing a ridiculous amount of skin. I hope this catches on.

[@basbleupeaunoire]

I thought the same thing!!!

[@DxBlack]

It wont. Nor does it need to.

[@246Rennie]

It's been done before, it never catches on.

[@bearzombi97]

+246Rennie honestly the only reason for this is because the classes are interchangeable between sexes haha

[@Stat1onary]

15:03 dexiderity lel

[@KiraYamato227]

Would you say this game is like DnD?

[@T3chnici4n]

It is being developed by a team that has some old members of Black Isle studios which worked extensively on the Baldurs gate cRPG's. They play very similarly, and, though this game doesn't use a DnD ruleset, It uses it's own ruleset that is inspired by DnD.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Heavily inspired by Pen and Paper roleplaying. It doesn't use the same ruleset as D&D though. But if you enjoy D&D you will likely love this game :D

[@petrinafilip96]

sooo another great rpg named PoE? hmm

[@ZiggyDGaming]

T_T yeah

[@petrinafilip96]

ZiggyD Gaming cant wait,too damn excited to try this out

[@espasmemuscular]

My character would be an orphan female hearth orlean who happened to be property of lord Pogrecniak, whose deviant tastes turned her childhood into a nightmare filled with both physical and mental abuse. Certain day by the invervention of a notorious female charater, that causes a conmotion in the lords villa, she is set free. Her hatred towards the rest of the races drives her into the wilderness, where she meets an old man, a moon godlike chipher who takes pity on her, and trains her to become a coldhearted assassin by turning her hate into a weapon, and giving her hope so she can cleanse the world.

[@UmbraLovesYou]

Ziiiggyyy

[@elizanieman5576]

I love you

[@Kouyou160]

Mmmmmm...dang it just get to the hair already!!!

[@timsickler5125]

Hahaha, I know this post is ancient but I felt that in my soul!

[@leelinkman]

Am I the only one who finds the difficulty of combat to be annoying as hell? I mean even on the easiest difficulty I find myself dying on fights that should be easy. A monk with a lot of constitution shouldn't go down after like 3 damn arrows from a bandit!

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Most likely not. It's heavily tactics and rules-based combat - it's not going to be for everyone.

[@leelinkman]

I loved baldur's gate and play D&D. The system basically requires you to wear armor if you want to survive. Seems silly to think of a monk in full plate.

[@Pink000h]

Git gud scrub

[@R341R34ACTIONS]

I've never been more sad at being a poor console peasant

[@flyingpaladin617]

Console > PC

[@DarthRaver-og7qq]

It's on console now lol just downloaded it on gamepass for xbox ;)

[@sayen7555]

Stop making me want to buy games, i'm getting so poor now...

[@ZiggyDGaming]

T_T I apologize to your wallet

[@varlunmulland3992]

Hey ZiggyD Gaming . So this will seem completely random but I just felt like you would appreciate knowing why I'm unsubscribing. I've been fighting it for a while, because I do find you entertaining, but I've been increasingly annoyed with this channel. You seem to do Let's Plays and Guides on basically every game out there, most of which I don't care about. Unlike most channels which are typically dedicated to just a few things. So, specifically the reason I'm unsubscribing, is because I'm tired of constantly seeing all these videos in my feed that I don't care about. It doesn't really have anything to do with you. Your content is just too widespread. /shrug Anyway seeya.

[@asboll]

I am so sad that KZbin broke our ability to sub to playlists instead of channels. Made it easier to filter out such content

[@varlunmulland3992]

absol_89 I didn't even know that was a thing. But yeah, I'm literally subscribed to 90 different people. I can't be havin' channels put out stuff I don't care about constantly, like this one.

[@Sintrael11]

King Dragoner Thats funny. Because thats exactly what i love about this channel From ziggyd i learned PoE and Grim Dawn and hero siege and pillars of eternity (which is also PoE) and Darkest Dungeons and other great games!

[@ZiggyDGaming]

No worries man, best of luck! It naturally happens as KZbinrs spread their wings that some people who were only interested in one game or niche they covered leave. So I don't at all take it personally. The reality is, that in order to survive, thrive and continue to grow we do need to try new things. Both for our own mental health and to expose us to new potential viewers. I'm still in a somewhat awkward stage of defining my overall niche. I don't want to be someone who covers all games but I also don't want to become trapped in one game or niche (even if I love it). I think my space is games with a lot of strategic depth - likely ARPGs, RPGs, RTS and the occasional crossover genre or indie game.

[@varlunmulland3992]

ZiggyD Gaming It would help, in my opinion, if you just did quick covers on games you find interesting. But you don't just cover games, you go and make guides for all of them as well. That's particularly what irked me.
