Will this game have cipher abilities?

We don't know. I personally believe that Ciphers won't be heavily represented in the skill trees, but we don't have any solid information on it.

Ciphers was a clumsy attempt to recreate psionics in Mature And Deep Lore(TM) into Pillars of Eternity. After that, nobody cared.

 

[Sannom]

Do Psionics need to have a "living" target for all their powers and do they gain resources throughout a fight like Ciphers do ? I honestly don't know.

 

[Mauman]

They will probably give Ciphers tons of cool effective powers and then "balance" them by ripping off their testicles and making them about as useful as wet fart.

 

[Yosharian]

Ciphers are insane in Deadfire soooo

 

[Tyranicon]

Oh boy!

Can't wait to meet the gay aumaua love interest who speaks like some illiterate criminal from Detroit

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

Still bummed because no playable orlans and dwarves

 

[A-Minish]

Ah shit, I forgot we will not be able to play midgets.

Sorry Obsidian but this time it is the high-sea for me, not going to pay for a possible downgrade.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Sorry Obsidian Microsoft, but this time it is the high-sea for me,

I don't think this game has romances.

Isn't it ironic that the closest to Sawyer's asexual ideal will be a game that is the antithesis of his RPG concept?

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Romance in games were a mistake. I blame Bioware and their obsession with shitty romance novellas.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

I don't think this game has romances.

It's going to so funny to see people complain about it in a post-bg3 landscape. despite bg3 having less ''romance content'' than most RPGs.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

In fairness to Bioware, at least their romances involved hot chicks with nice T&A, not bestiality and some other degenerate shit.

From what I remember Deadfire only got romances because people whined about it during Figstarter. Good to see somebody finally pushing against cancer.

And you can see that Obsidian really didn't wanted to right them because they're barely a thing and are terrible.

Used to. Not anymore. And even then the models weren't that great.
And given that you can fuck an alien birdman in Mass Effect 2, I wouldn't say that there was no bestiality nor degeneracy.

ME:A wasted all the romance budget in one ass.

Spoiler

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Oh wow, actual nudity in a bioware game. Too bad it's in the one with the horrible face animations. Maybe that's why the faces suck; they spent all of their time and budget on that one arse.

DA:I had nudity too. They had to make that move once CDPR beat them at their own game.

Sawyer said he left it up to individual writers whether or not their characters could be romanced. Starks, whose background includes paranormal romance, was certainly all for Xoti's. Patel and Aloth was understandable as well. Nonbinary Scokel went for a hook-up with Serafen, and Paul Kirsch certainly has the look of a guy who could go for Tekēhu and Maia. Sawyer and Fenstermaker, the classic Black Isle Studios-minded dinosaurs (Yeah Eric was never part of a BIS but he's still like them culturally), opted out.

Cora, the wannabe asari commando.

Cora, the wannabe asari commando.

A lot of these games have at least one "basic straight male romance choice" so their previous core audience doesn't feel left out, i.e Shadowheart.

I wonder why alienating your previous core audience, the one that's supported you for years, is a bad decision.

It's almost like your company is now floundering almost entirely because of that decision.
