News

Maybe we should expand our news section and provide a little summary for each entry? for example http://www.obsidian.net/ news section always contains a minimalistic summary - Just a thought. --AnotherArk (talk) 15:57, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Royal titles?

Question

Is there a simple tutorial page that points out the obvious stuff anywhere? Something that specifies, for example, what the name is of the ... history... list... thing is in the lower right corner of the screen during gameplay ("Boar hits Derp for 20 Slash damage")? And How to have it hide/minimize when not in combat, but then have it auto expand when in combat? Also- This wiki does not have a section for key bindings, shortcuts or hot key stuff. Nor does it have a location where questions like this can easily be asked.

A wiki is not a place where you ask questions, it is an evolving reference tool which is created and maintained by contributors such as yourself which people can consult. I made a default key bindings page, but I only installed the game this morning, so until then, I had no idea. Feel free to add the information you know about. That's how wikis work. — Game widow (talk) 14:40, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Multilingual

Will the wiki available in several languages like in other gamepedias as Terraria?

--Yllelder (talk) 20:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

In order for a wiki to be available in another language, someone must actually translate it. So which language were you interested in, and are you volunteering to begin translating the information here to that language ? — Game widow (talk) 12:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
Ideally, this process should involve the guys, who participated in localization, since they have all the "canon" glossaries and other stuff required to facilitate the process. However, this can be reverse-engineered through multiple playthroughs. I can help with Russian as soon as I finish playthrough in English and start another one in Russian. — archdron (talk) 15:30, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Main Page Locked

Why did the gamepedia admin lock the main page? There is new information that could be added to the main page (thanks to an expansion coming out soon), but we can't alter it at all. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by GeeseHoward (talkcontribs) at 19:36, 30 June 2015 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

The main page was locked to prevent vandalism since it's such a high traffic page. If there's specific information you'd like added, post it here and I will update the main page. --Alianin T • C 15:29, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Yeah but you also seem to have locked all teh other pages in the wiki while doing that. The Zahua and Devil of Caroc pages still have the old playing card portraits because no one can update them. And their discussion pages also seem to be locked. --69.249.29.124 10:26, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Those pages are not locked down. Have you tried logging in to edit them? --Alianin T • C 11:44, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Ability Infobox

The "Effect" field is broken and displays some wiki pseudocode. Does anyone know how to fix it? --Preceding unsigned comment added by Gairnulf, 22:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Additions needed to GamePlay

Could we please add the following items under Game Mechanics, so descriptions can be added for them:

  • Dialogs
  • Scripted interactions
  • Reputation

Tungsticgp (talk) 06:25, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

These were added. --Alianin T • C 16:20, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
It turns out that name of the actual existing page is "Scripted interaction" (no "s"). Please adjust accordingly. --Tungsticgp (talk) 02:29, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
This was updated. --Alianin T • C 14:33, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Locations

It would be great to have some sort of comprehensive map of locations, perhaps structured as 2 or 3 levels of detail (Dyrwood > Twin Elms > Hearthsong). At the moment, what we have is partial descriptions in various locations, e.g.:

Is anyone willing to propose a structure?

Even better would be to have an interactive map. Any chance of getting an image of the populated world map from the development team (since it's pretty hard see a full view in the game)?

--Tungsticgp (talk) 04:15, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

UI and Controls

We need something on the main page that links to somewhere the UI can be described, i.e., the screen layout, and the controls. There is already a preliminary Controls page that's not linked in - not sure about the rest. --Tungsticgp (talk) 20:57, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

"Official" Pillars of Eternity Wiki in window title

I don't get it, I thought this was not an official wiki, in which case it's at best misleading. 37.58.59.88 14:20, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

What does "official wiki" mean to you? This wiki is the wiki for Pillars of Eternity.
It has been endorsed by the game's developers.
It even used to be linked from the game's website (though at some point the website got a redesign and the wiki link was no longer included).
If you go to the Pillars of Eternity forums and talk about "the wiki", everyone will know that you mean this wiki right here.
I'd say that makes it as official as a game wiki can be... :)

Page layout – Step I

I have added the game's Twitter to the news section. The official PoE2 news forum doesn't feed the feed, yet, so those news are all old. Don't know if that will be changed somewhen.
I've thought of switching some items on the main page, not only to integrate the Twitter more aesthetically…

  • The "Welcome" to the top center
  • The "Screenshot" below
  • The "Expansions" bottom centered
  • The "News" to the right – though then adjustments are needed according to the column width of 300px and the longer feed lines, perhaps.

I won't do this without discussion. So, add comments! :o)
And – as the section title says – these will probably only be first steps… -- UserCCCSig -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 19:36, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

See also my (tentative) changes to the sidebar‎‎. -- UserCCCSig -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 14:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

I wrote about it somewhere, but I've been thinking about a re-design of the frontpage. For now I just added a central logo above the sections. More long-term, in light of the wiki becoming multi-game, I think a Tabber setup could look good. That would enable users to flip between Pillars of Eternity and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, while we can squeeze in many links for each game, using sub-headers, without totally cluttering the frontpage with links. I see some other wikis use it, and think it could be a good fit for us.
Otherwise, you (pl.) may have noticed that I've changed a few things around the place, including a brand new dark-themed skin, and a new mobile skin. Pangaearocks (talk) 22:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Add GOG link

Some people may choose DRM-free version of the game. Please add GOG version as well... Wakeup12, 09:20, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

I was actually looking at that a few days ago, but didn't find suitable non-intrusive icons for all shops, so postponed it in favour of working on other things. I'd like to overhaul the frontpage at a later date anyway. Not sure we should have links to stores like that anyhow, at least not as dominating as that. But if we do, GOG should definitely be there too, as the DRM Free (and hence best ;-)) option. Pangaearocks (talk) 22:01, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
The link to the Humble Store came, AFAIK, from the official website's buying option, which now was switched to Paradox Interactive. We could adapt this, but the Humble Store page has a link back to us, which I think should be regarded with some respect. -- UserCCCSig -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 16:22, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
I suggest removing the Humble store badge on the main page and putting in links on the Sidebar and/or the game page. Or move away from images and just include links. --Alianin T •  C 15:05, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
