Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

I'm pretty sure it was post-kickstarter.

EDIT: Yeah, the Fig campaign ended Feb 25 2017. They announced the full VO on the 13th of April 2018

man playing bg first time it sure is nicen not having to deal with attacks of opportunity nonsense. (engagement system)

With over 400 fully voiceacted NPCs + the most reactivity and dialogue options of any RPG, it's easy to tell where most of the budget went.

But it was soo worth it! Critical Role is soo good and its still amazing that the cast voiced (nearly) every single party member! You can totally tell they loved working on the game too since they still talk about it on the show and Matt still lists Éder and Aloth on his main credits on his twitter (and he has so many iconic roles to choose from)!

Also without full V/O we would never have gotten such iconic memes like the

Ekera

vs. Gellarde

memes in the fandom!

And all the Critical Role fan artists were creating iconic Deadfire fanart too btw!!!

 

[Lacrymas]

I like how fanart subtly changes the face structure of the party members to make them more ...classically beautiful.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

Tekehu isn't fanart since it was the concept art for him!

 

[Lacrymas]

Then Obs themselves changed his portrait to not be so classically beautiful. He has softer features in the concept art, not so pronounced cheek bones, smaller mouth and chin, etc.

 

[Quillon]

Did they also change Eder's portrait for Deadfire so he'd look like Efens? Not that I remember Efens that well...since they also probably draw Ydwin after whatshername who left Obs last year. Otherwise why change perfectly good and distinct look of max von s'eder so drastically for the worse.

 

[Lacrymas]

"They are older". It's only been like 2 years.

 

[Daidre]

Deadfire is five years after. Vela has enough time to grow up.

 

[Lacrymas]

Ah, yeah, Vela. The child they didn't give me the opportunity to influence and corrupt. Although that's the reason I kidnapped her in the first place.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Writing RPGs is like making sausages.

 

[pomenitul]

Sausage making is indeed an art, as evidenced by the difference between American and European sausages (I'm not praising the former, mind you).

 

[Lacrymas]

It's true, Europeans have better sausages.

A lot of 'european sausages' were created before there even was a USA, and are generally available in large urban areas here. No point reinventing the wheel. (Which is not a defense of hot dogs, let alone the abortion you shared in your image)

If you're going to compare dozens of countries with distinct culinary traditions against the United States, at least use breakfast sausage as the American example.

What!? New Éder is so cuter and more masculine but anyway I like that the portraits lewk different in Deadfire because it’s like different artists in Eora painting their perception of the famous heroes so who cares if they vary!

 

[Perkel]

finally playing TB mode after all those patches.
can someone remind me what is the difference between classic/veteran/potd as in stats changes.

classic i assume is 100% and no additional enemies
veteran probably something like 120% and some additional enemies
potd is what ?

 

[FreeKaner]

There are extra enemies on veteran and POTD, as well as a small bonus to their accuracy, defences, penetration and armour.

 

[Lacrymas]

There are no changes between normal and hard in terms of stats, only enemy composition. PotD provides even more enemies (I think?) and a buff to their stats. The buff is cheap, though, especially relating to armor and Pen.

 

[FreeKaner]

No, some of the recent patches also added a smaller bonus to stats in veteran.

 

[Perkel]

Also initiative vs round.
In rtwp action speed meant that someone could attack twice instead of one time.
Does action speed matter at all now and can give extra attacks ?

 

[Safav Hamon]

Action speed lets you cast spells faster

 

[Perkel]

Action speed lets you cast spells faster

But i can't attack more than once with bow in single round ?

 

[BING XI LAO]

PoE is such a CUCKED franchise as regards writing, firstly they make Chris massively cut his very good characters in the first game, then neither of them turns up in the second game and the main plot is such a retardo clusterfuck it makes me think of nu-Star Wars
