Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[St Antony of Padua]

Google translated from Krautish:

Hello Josh, it is rumored that for Deadfire the maximum number of possible companions was reduced to 4 (5 in PoE) and thus the maximum size of the group - including the guard - was reduced to 5 (6 in PoE). Is there any truth to it, or is it due only to a write error or an unfortunate phrase on the part of the press? Thanks in advance.
--
We have not said anything about the number of the companions, but the maximum size of the group is 5 (including the guard[NPC?]).

The Watcher, so no it's the pc

NPC with schedules and a relative full day night cycle is a wonderful feature, i'm so glad they are doing this

A completely worthless feature if it has no consequence on gameplay or quests.

They said it will reflect gameplay and quests!

Game developers say a lot of things.

Oops, typo. That's what I meant.

I'm looking for my Statue. Middle sized giant rampaging god. Maybe you've seen him?

I hope this fails.

Deadfire sounds so lame and generic. Even Guido Henkel knows that (now).

Brofist my post if you agree.

I am harvesting brofists and will donate them to a good cause. I also accept trumpfists. :3

So a tropic archipelago with deserts inhabited by people (influenced by Indian and Polynesian cultures) with lots of pirates and tribals but also population centres is generic.

Ok then. Show me how many games can you see more of this generic architecture?

Are you triggered, Mr. Turkroach?

 

[hivemind]

tropical deserts filled with pajeets just seems like hipsters trying too hard to be super anti-generic

I thought it was clear what I meant when I mentioned Guido Henkel. I was talking about "Deadfire", as in the name of the game. Not the setting.

I just wanted to troll a tiny little bit, not piss off the Obsidian fanboys. OH WELL.

Deadfire doesn't sound Generic to me then again English isn't my first language. Colorado doesn't sound generic to you either probably when it just means red.

Didn't Eothas steal the PC's soul or something? How can the PC wield a soulbound item if his soul is awry?

Can you please make it so rapiers are actually rapiers this time around? Rapiers have flat blades and are long, longer than a longsword. PoE had short modern-day fencing epees instead and that triggered me.

Gotta say, as a scabbard lover, I didn't even notice anything. Didn't expect Obsidian to include them. Will there be animations for unsheathing/sheathing the swords?
Thanks!
Additionally, will scabards have unique models that fit their weapon (like Dark Souls 1 and 3) or will it be one scabbard to rule them all?

Hi.

I made a background image from the video that came out today and wanted to share it with everyone.

Hmm, so an all tropical setting? Not my favorite but if story and atmosphere is good might be OK. I'm a medieval and fantasy guy. And please no more backer written NPCs.

Felt Pillars 1 was decent, so might buy this eventually but not gonna back it from what I have seen so far.

 

[Jenkem]

backed, because I will probably end up buying it on release anyways...

one thing I do hope they do is to include those hypertext lore links from Tyranny, since the original PoE had a ton of boring as shit exposition to wade through
