PoE had baby murder en masse AND helping a guy murder a baby personally. :decline:

Weren't people saying to play AoD multiple times to experience all the C&C? Maybe same shit applies here?!

Even Fairfax, who isn't under suspicion of Obsidian fanboyism, says the reactivity is real. It's probably decent enough.
In the first part, yes. From what I've seen, gameplay-wise most of it changes dialogue options, different approaches in quests and skills you can unlock. I'm not a fan of locking these skills behind reputation thresholds, but it's a real consequence nonetheless.
The devs said in the AMA that your decisions lock/unlock different sidequests and can make your companions abandon the party, but I haven't seen that yet.

Don't expect FNV levels of reactivity, though.

Even if you get maximum wrath with one of the factions you can still do all of their quests? That's disappointing.

With all new games I like to meticulously go through the options menu. I'm pleased with Tyranny's so far. Pics in spoiler.

What about companions abandoning the party? Can it happen to all of them? I hope it's possible, as I think it's one of the most important consequences in a game like this.
Found PoE very disappointing in that regard. IIRC only the Grieving Mother threatens to leave your party at some point.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Quick notes:

I'm playing a dual wielding storm mage. I have no idea if it will be effective or not all the way through. Combat feels similar to PoE except they are using cooldowns. Met Verse, she won't be in my party for long. Backgrounds aren't very detailed, characters are. Dialog seems decent, not as dry as Pillars.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the backgrounds. If I had to name one area where the game feels "cheap", this is it. A lot less detailed than PoE, and most maps are much smaller as well.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
What's greatsword like? Going for a warrior this time around. Split between that and sword and board, but a greatsword warrior tank seems like it's good enough on "hard" judging by PoE, and it'd do a lot more damage to make the trash encounters fly right past

Where'd you see that, Abu Antar? It doesn't sound like something they'd commit to now.
I saw it in some stram that they are talking to Paradox about an expansion. Don't know if it was a slip of the tongue ot it was ok to reveal that. I think I read it in one of the written pieces, too.

I might have imagined it, lol. I've got the flu and am half delirious.

Yeah okay, there have been placed where they said they were talking/thinking about it, but it's not confirmed.

More like MMO. It's very obvious that people on this project have developed MMOs.
