Huh, Tony Evans is a contract writer on PoE2.
As is some guy who did writing on Battle Brothers.
He was also a lead of some kind (lead designer?) on Storm of Zehir. Remember I attended some NWN2 chat with him before SoZ was released, he's a fun guy. Spoke quite a bit about Darklands back then which is before Sawyer made it cool.
Was he the husband of the husband/wife pair from Obsidian that posted here years ago, who both left Obs after SoZ? Can't keep the names straight anymore in my dotage.
There was a video with Tony Evans during the T:ToN Kickstarter where he sort-of-apologized for working on DA2, so this is something we've kind of been through already. It's not like it was his fault that the game was bad. His Torment novella was p. cool.
I thought to myself "Thanks for reminding me of the ridiculous power creep, game" and that, naturally, brought me to PoE2. I don't know how they'll ramp up the stakes and not feel like a retread. We've already killed 2 of the spoilers, 5 dragons and an assortment of other creatures one associates with power and "epicness". It's also kind of cheap because it makes them feel weak and pathetic to have them killed off by a relatively low level party.
I am now replaying shadowrun HK and having a blast.How long is the dlc ?The last RPG to has had a proper expansion was DA:O.
Shadows of Hong Kong was nothing to scoff at... and it was free!
The level reset means that isn't so much of a problem.

Any clue if Durance is coming back? I remember ages ago people were saying he was in a trailer, and would probably be in the game as a side-quest?
In the trailer? I dont think so!
Sawyer on USGamer RPG podcast (18:40): http://www.usgamer.net/articles/axe...ive-deep-into-pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire
Legendary RPG designer Josh Sawyer returns to dive deep into Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire's story, premise and multi-classing (18:30), but not before Kat has a healthy rant about NBA 2K18's stats progression and Nadia talks about the RPGs revealed at the Nindies event. Plus: Another Perfect RPG Party!

I swear I'm not trolling here, I defintely saw Durance in one of the earlier deadfire videos ages ago, and most people in the comments acknowledged it as being Durance. The reason he's not a main companion is because he solved his own dilemma which was his entire reason for travelling with the Watcher, but he might give a sidequest.
I would find the video and grab a screenshot but I don't have the time for a few weeks.
I'm sure they would have said something publicly if Durance was coming back
Yeah after PoE and Tyranny, PoE2 pretty much decides if I give a fuck about Josh Sawyer's Obsidian. Tim Cain/Boyarsky project will decide if I have hope for Obsidian as a whole.Sadly Obsidian has NOT lived up to their potential.
Pilliars should have showcased ALL that they know, and well.... (They DID do an excellent job within the shitty Fallout 3 engine, with NV though).
Granted, the entire cluster-fuck of them trying to stay alive and then...... Pillars KS happened.
This second game is the true test. The entire true test of all that is left of Obsidian. DON'T FUCK THIS UP. You have what it takes, and show us.... And there are no excuses this time.
Good luck.
