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

[AwesomeButton]

This is nonsense.

 

[BEvers]

Obviously the PC is the new god. Might as well try to drum up some ToB-nostalgia.

 

[TT1]

This is nonsense.

Safav Whatever is nonsense

DLC comes out next month. It will verify that I'm telling the truth.

You kill Wael and pull a shard called the Weight of Revelation from her body. I believe I even showed the specific line where it says it a few months ago.

Spoiler

Then the shard gives you a revelation about who the twelfth god of Eora is. It's someone you know.

 

[Agesilaus]

In my last play through I ended the world.

Spoiler

I finished the Winter DLC and became an official Agent of the ice minotaur god. When I got to the ending scene, I told the stone giant god. He had an emo tantrum and life on the planet ended because he got too depressed.

Now I'm playing through again as a Trickster, which apparently has been buffed a lot by a recent patch. The Wizard spells are good additions.

The main thing I dislike about the game are the stupid and unlikeable companions. I can click through the writing when it gets really bad and over-wrought, so that hasn't been too much of a problem.

 

[2house2fly]

Hmm... the Weight Of Revelation is the name of the third piece of Woedica's Crown. I presume it's not Wael but the Oracle Of Wael, just like the Beast Of Winter wasn't Rymrgand. With Woedica's Crown reassembled, the stage is set for the player to absorb its godly power and re-enact the end of God Of War

 

[Lacrymas]

Maybe if you reassemble the crown, you'll get another option with Eothas in the end. Sever his connection with the statue? Replace him with Woedica? That would be a very nice continuation of empowering her in PoE1. It won't fix the terrible ending, but it's a nice MotB-like "bonus" ending if you collect all the pieces. Too bad they fucked up the entire narrative and it's unsalvageable.

I remember Josh making a face in some old interview - "It's 2016, please stop making games about zombies". Not that zombies are not a dull cliche, but dude, you made a game about the chosen one who has the superpower to see dead people. And if the chosen one now ascends to godhood, well...

You treat it like a secret of state, when all you have are the game files inside /exported. This could be a bait and they can change it all in the last minute.

 

[Lacrymas]

Oh, no, don't make the MC into a god. Anything but that.

 

[TT1]

Vela is the new god

 

[Safav Hamon]

Having the watcher become a god would incredibly stupid. Thankfully it's not that.

 

[Tenebris]

It better not be Concelhaut. First he gets a body and now becomes a God?! Please no.

He's not involved with the DLCs to be fair.

 

[StrongBelwas]

Its a dead series, they can do whatever they want now and make anyone a god without having to worry about it.

That would be extremely funny

 

[Background Character]

This isn't just any new god.

When revealed - Minds will be blown, the way people view Pillars lore will be revolutionized, and many heated debates will take place over what Obsidian was thinking.

This reminded me of those dramatic previews for Clone High (Thanks by the by, now that I remembered Clone High I remembered the cliffhanger at the end)

Next time, on a very special PoE 2 DLC... Will Konstanten and Fassina student films reveal their true feelings for one other? How will the Watcher get himself out of another dangerous pickle? And what will become of Eora? I'd tell you but I haven't played the DLC yet, they were supposed to send it to me but there's this guy at Obsidian who totally hates me, if he gets me fired I'm going to kill his cats

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I find it hard to believe they would include some massive lore-bending plot twist as an optional challenge 99,99999% players won't even notice.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

Microsoft can always release a cool animated short film trailer describing Pillars 1 and Deadfire's story before they release Pillars 3 as an arpg or open world fps rpg! Éder can narrate it!

 

[rusty_shackleford]

It's Durance

 

[Roguey]

I find it hard to believe they would include some massive lore-bending plot twist as an optional challenge 99,99999% players won't even notice.

In the final DLC for DA: Inquisition, your PC found out that your elf party member is actually a god (though this is revealed to you in the final cutscene of the main game).

... hmm.

[Mazisky]

It is possible to select difficulty with challenges activated? it seems fixed on Potd

It's currently fixed on PotD Scale All Only Upwards, until the next patch allows challenges to be enabled at any difficulty.

 

[Lacrymas]

Which challenges are worth it? I'm thinking of enabling some on my next playthrough, but most of them sound gimmicky. I'm not interested in Eothas' one yet. Will definitely enable Galawain, but other than that I'm not sure.
