a lot of BG fanboys
I honestly liked Deadfire. The overland portion is pretty anemic because there are actually very few places of consequence on the map. But overall, it was a pleasant experience for me.In my opinion, Deadfire is the best game this year. Don't know if Kingmaker comes close, just started playing it.
I don't get all the hate for Deadfire - other than that a lot of BG fanboys were disappointed by POE1 and now think that "everything Pillars is shit".

So how many liches does that deadfire city have, hmm?

How many dragons does that Athkatla city in BG2 have, hm?
that's a death knight
PoE I/II is like watching an old metal band still pushing it's career, but doesn't have the same fire, creativity it used to.
Death Knights are less cool Liches.
Whoa there. I love my Liches, but the way I see it a Death Knight is a Lich that happens to be a Fighter instead of a Wizard or Cleric. Sure, that means you have to outsource your immortality, but some of the best Death Knights include badasses like Lord Soth, Kargoth, Miltiades, and... okay, Arthas is a whiny bitch, but he made for some good cinematics.Death Knights are less cool Liches.
The Lich is awesome because they commit to it. They have to do tons of preparation, tons of studying, they have to prepare for the moment. Death Knights are like, it's like becoming an elementary school teacher when you really wanted to become a lawyer but weren't good enough. Sure you got all the big scary armour and aura of dread, but you don't really have the same respect that a Lich does. If I hear I'm confronting a Death Knight, whatever, just get a Paladin to invalidate them. A Lich, though? I'm looking at the possibility of getting fucked up within fifteen seconds. You can't just sleep on a Lich encounter, you need to go in there with tactical war plans.
