Does everyone importing a PoE1 save get asked what they chose as their final choice (i.e., what to do with the souls)?

Yeah but I'm not sure why its asked, since game indicates the correct answer according to the imported save. I didn't bother to choose different options to test it tho.

Was afraid you would say that... I see no such indication in my game. Where should it be?

The diamond exclamation symbol next to the dialogue option.

As I recall it tells you what you pledged to do, but not the final choice you made. I assumed they couldn't record the final choice because the gamecomplete save happens when you interact with the machine, before you decide what to do

Infinitron claims there is a "hidden save" made right after you interact with the machine.

The game does tell me what I pledged to do, I'm just certain I did not actually do that. Oh well.

when nobody remembers what the fuck he picked at the end of a game, you know it was a very good game with a great choice at the end

It's not my claim:



Look in your savegame directory: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity

There should be a file that ends with gamecomplete.savegame.

I tested with a preset save, and the game didn't ask what I picked because it was already in the preset. If you import a save it does ask what you picked, because it doesn't know

It's possible that despite saving after the choice, the final savegame doesn't actually store it, or that PoE2 doesn't use it. Pretty dumb if true.

Also possible that PoE2 did use it at some point but something has changed in one of the patches.

If the final savegame does store the choice somewhere, it's possible that Grunker could hack it with an editor and find out what he chose.

Why would anyone care about anything that happened in a previous PoE story is the real question here.

:edge: :edge: :edge: :edge:

EDIT: IMO, they really should've made it a completely brand new story with no PoE 1 baggage.

The only well implemented PoE choices I can think of were clicking through Maneha's barks in the tavern.

The shanty that references the Battle Of Yenwood Field was a nice surprise. Not really a "choice" though, since there is no other outcome for that quest. The chat with Kana was fairly cool as well.

In the new DLC there's a team of dragon slayers who boast that they've killed three dragons, and you can rattle off a list of all the dragons you've killed (up to eight including the zombie dragon from Beast Of Winter)
