This game is really good, but these guys seriously need a proper community manager. The level of communication is abyssmal.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
After playing an early access game against my better judgement, I can say a few things.

#0 Good but far less enjoyable than some of the more luminous entries in the last decade because the engine is so shit.

#1 Unity is shit.

#2 the walk speed and generally experience of travel in this game makes Underrail look like sonic the hedgehog.

#3 God managing the companions is incredibly unfun.

The companion AI is just non existent and they get jn your way and shit, you cannot even use the healing pod for them and it's annoying shit that i assume will be patched in or i will just go solo

The fact that its a Unity game probably means you would be able to adjust the walking speed even without cheat engine.

Wait you do not have full control anymore? Did they change that because I am quite certain I had full control in an early build, I am just not playing anything more than the prologue to avoid too many spoilers for the full release.

AFAIK No, it was always like in Fallout. Someone correct me if I am wrong...

New dangers under the Dome
CRONUS WEEKLY

1a50cdbb94143b138856d6407a55d8979d4a0b34.gif


Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

This is our first issue since the mysterious incident. Communication with the outside world has been severed, but we are sure that we will be able to restore it very soon! And now it's time to face it: the world beneath the Dome has changed, and we'll tell you about the dangers the wastelands have in store for you!

Locations changed a lot

CRONUS Corporation has found an outstanding artifact. During another excavation at the Nashville Research Station, an artifact of impressive size was found. On the outside, it resembles a huge ball of energy. It is hard to imagine what opportunities it will open up to mankind. Perhaps it will help unlock the secrets of the forefathers and answer the most difficult science questions or maybe even become a source of inexhaustible energy. However, many scientists note the serious impact of the artifact on climate change. Our editorial staff will follow the progress of the research and keep you informed.

Forefather tree

The forefathers' relics are the only things that were not damaged after the terrible catastrophe. Many artifacts can give you incredible powers, while others can simply kill you. We managed to get a picture of the mysterious tree. Its body contains artifacts with the most amazing properties. But no matter how tempting the fruit may seem, we advise you to avoid the tree! After all, its every hole emits a poisonous gas that will kill you in seconds.

Fops

No matter what disasters happen in the world, people are still the main threat. The Dome is no exception. Many different factions have formed here. On your screens is one of the Fops. If you see someone similar to him — run. Don't even try to negotiate with these madmen. They have no goal, they have no demands, all they want is chaos.

The most sophisticated weapons
CRONUS WEEKLY

1a50cdbb94143b138856d6407a55d8979d4a0b34.gif


Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

It's been a long time since our connection to the outside world was severed. You probably already know that to survive in the wastelands you’ll need good weapons. But where to get them? Make with your own hands, of course! In this issue we have prepared a selection of the most unusual weapons that will help you to deal with almost any threat.

Disk Thrower

e1403058f944565fc119ebbe278ddaf22cbd68ca.jpg


It's hard to imagine the person who came up with this weapon. Many have found it to be unusually effective. Lethal discs do a lot of damage to any opponent, and the powerful ricochet shot mode leaves no chance for survival. But be careful, there's a great chance of hitting your companions!

After the collapse of the CRONUS empire there is a huge amount of unwanted spare parts left, you will have no problem with ammunition. A handful of metal, a couple of working batteries and any former Blue Wing worker will be happy to assemble your personal disk thrower.

Viper

The next item is called the Viper. Believe me, it lives up to its name after every use. One light press and your enemies suffocate in a cloud of poisonous gas.

Poison gas is another resource you won't be short of under the Dome. The Tree of Forefathers, poisonous anomalies and who knows what else, they all spread deadly gas that can be used for the Viper. Don't forget to wear a gas mask, though!

Melee weapons

If you can’t make a firearm yourself, then feel free to take anything that fits your hands into the wasteland. Clubs, sledgehammers, bats — all of them can save your life, or at least increase your chances of survival. One good swing and your enemies fly in different directions.

Safe settlements after the Incident
CRONUS WEEKLY

1a50cdbb94143b138856d6407a55d8979d4a0b34.gif


Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

The incident changed the world beneath the Dome. It has become darker, more dangerous, and more cruel to all its inhabitants. Anomalies, MOBIOSes, wild animals, mutants, robots and even your former colleagues are all eager to take your life as soon as possible.

But don't despair. Even in this crazy world there is room for humanism. The strong leaders founded entire settlements on the ruins of the CRONUS empire.

Junk Town


557e4e2be84abd7deb67575cf49a80205525b6e0.png


The Junktown grew up on the ruins of one of CRONUS' industrial buildings. This is where all those who could not enter the City have found shelter. Most of the houses are dusty tents and boxes assembled from abandoned construction materials, and literally the entire ground is crawling with rat holes. Even the old-timers don't know every possible way out of the city. But the disadvantages of the Junktown are easily overshadowed by their safety. There is even a sheriff here. Anyone who breaks the law will quickly go to jail after being kicked hard enough by the locals.

If you find yourself here, be sure to check out Beth's Shots bar. There you'll find decent booze and a bed for a night. And if your pockets are full of extra Combonds, you can even buy one of the local houses.

Town


ac7186ba6e0070ad99b57fb921e6d1f849d18bac.png


The largest settlement under the Dome. The center of power of the New Committee. The main source of civilization in the northern part of the desert. It is here that you will remember the golden days of the CRONUS and meet the smartest people under the Dome.

Kimiko Nakamura is in charge here. Thanks to her excellent leadership skills, she was able to evacuate the Concord station in the shortest possible time, deploy personnel to Magellan, and get the Committee up and running. For which she received the chairmanship. The city is perfectly protected. And anyone who breaks the law will lose their citizenship or go to jail.

To get into the City, you have to go through a small formal citizenship procedure and fill out a couple of dozen documents. But remember, any rumors about excessive bureaucracy and bribes in the City are fabrications of ill-wishers unworthy of the title of citizen.

Carmine Heights


e49a3f8e5beb43f9a83c3d066f805893c434d068.png


A town founded by Blue Wing engineers on one of the conserved settlements. Democracy,
rationalism, diplomacy and high technology rule here. The settlement is surrounded by a makeshift wall, has its own water system, power grid and greenhouse with vegetables.

Contrary to the popular belief, not only former CRONUS engineers and scientists live here. For example, the guards consist of a small group of former military personnel from the Black Wing, and simple jobs are performed by former prisoners. If the principles of the New Committee are strange to you, visit Carmine Heights. It might be just the place you're looking for.
