Why the fuck would you torture yourself replaying the first game when it's worse at literally everything except for maybe the soundtrack.
In hindsight, that's a good question. At first I wanted to try the Bleak Walker and I enjoyed it up to the end of WM, then I didn't play it for quite a while due to base game being very shit. After that, I moved to Germany and I didn't have internet for like one week, so I decided to continue it. Then I was in too deep, WM2 isn't bad. And now I have a save ready for DF.

It's strange to see Obsidian in the role where the technical aspects are ahead of the creative ones, but at this point, this is owed only to the creative

I never once thought "naval battle system" should have been a core feature of Deadfire. Why would I? Simply having a ship as a way to move around is enough. I would expect ships in a pirate-theme game, but naval aspects? Not really. This isn't Microsoft Ship Simulator X.

No time, huh. Remember when Brandon and Chris said Josh shouldn't write because it was a distraction from his other tasks, maybe they were on to something there.

Feargus was right for once. It's the sort of thing that many people would expect, and it could've been a cool feature if done right. Sawyer wants to shift the blame (as usual), but his "lack of time" was self-inflicted.

It doesn't like he wasn't the only one whose extra time would have been needed:

no one really had time to conceive a new system, design new interfaces, create the interfaces based on the new spec, etc.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
The challenge that polymorphs your party into monsters somehow deleted the unique wand I had equipped on my Watcher, which I didn't notice until two encounters later

I reported this bug 3 months ago, while implementing Eye and Hand of Vecna into the game. I had an amazing ideia for a permanent polymorph, but I had to drop it, because of this bug.

Obsidian never changes

Done with SSS (thought not all optional fights, are they worth playing?).

There's couple of great ones and couple of shit ones. I think Steam guides there's a map with locations of all artifacts if you can't be arsed figuring out the clues on your own.

Edit: - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1523535234

Do those start to appear after you visit the DLC content? I looked for the guy in kraken's eye after starting a new game, he wasn't there. Would'a been nice to stumble upon artifacts beforehand :/

I played SSS on an old save, and was wondering if these could be discovered naturally in a new game. They're just fetch quests in the worst way otherwise.

It's a shame you can't get them before going to Kazuwari, but since part of their function is to allow you to level up the soulbound weapons you get towards the end of the DLC's main quest you should actually probably get them after the critical path is done with

I feel like replaying this.
Have they fixed all the broken quest strings (mostly the slaver problem, as i recall) and the broken companions interactions ?

Deadfire got a huge boost in review score from the autumn sale.

Recent reviews are 95% overwhelmingly positive, 165 of which are from the past three days. Overall user review score jumped nearly 2%.
Game is too boring to write a review, but at least you reminded me to rate it 3/5, thanks
