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

[Background Character]

Follow Maura's trail and determine the fate of one of the Deadfire Archipelago's most closely-held secrets.

THE GODS...(dramatic pause) AREN'T REAL

Two mega-bosses, eh? Did they uncancel the one that disappeared from the latest roadmap, or is it the one next to Woedica?

I counted 4 the first time and I still count 4 I think they just scrambled them around

 

[Infinitron]

In earlier roadmaps there were five megabosses (see the x2):

 

[Ulfhednar]

Haven’t been keeping up with this - is there a list of new features for patch 4.0?

Is one of the new challenges health/endurance split and pseudo-Vancian casting?

Should I just keep playing Pathfinder: Bugmaker?

So many questions...

 

[2house2fly]

They'll probably do a beta at the end of next week, then we'll get to see what's in the patch.

If this wasn't a direct sequel it would be funny for this to be the bug twist in the DLC

 

[Parabalus]

The "more to come" remaining in the newer timeline is both hilarious and sad.

Well yeah but they are like 4 bubbles saying mega boss and and ah who am I kidding

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Mega-dungeon?

Backer update with details on the patch and DLC: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire/updates/835

Greetings, Watchers,

We have brought you to Harbinger's Watch with "The Beast of Winter" and the Crucible of Kazuwari in "Seeker, Slayer, Survivor", now prepare yourselves as we head to the Black Isle, and into "The Forgotten Sanctum".




The Forgotten Sanctum

When a violent tremor shatters the islands of the Deadfire, the greatest wizards in Eora seek out the aid of the Watcher. The archmage Maura has vanished into the depths of a newly opened dungeon located in the Black Isles and threatens to awaken what lies forgotten there. Follow Maura's trail and determine the fate of one of the Deadfire Archipelago's most closely-held secrets.

• Traverse an expansive dungeon built into the flesh of a sleeping god.
• Encounter the highest-level challenges yet faced by the Watcher and their companions.
• Scheme with or defy the wills of Eora's most powerful wizards.

You'll have a chance to take your Watcher and their crew to the Forgotten Sanctum on December 13th, 2018!

Patch 4.0



Alongside the release of "The Forgotten Sanctum", the Deadfire team is releasing a new update with patch 4.0. As the team has done with every major update, they're happy to bring new features to Pillars II. Some of the new features that will be arriving with patch 4.0:

• One additional sub-class per class - That's right! Every class in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire will be getting one extra sub-class, including the oft-requested Priest of Woedica and Steel Garrote sub-classes!
• Respawning ships on the world map - The ships of the Deadfire will no longer be gone forever once defeated. They'll now respawn, giving you the ability to attack, loot, and take down again.
• New Magran's Fire Challenges:
  • Ondra's Challenge
    • Storms are larger, faster, and more frequent in the Deadfire now.
    • Enemy Captains are increased in rank and travel faster when chasing the Watcher
  • Wael's Challenge
    • All numbers become ??? with the exception being item count, party character Attributes, Skill, and Level.
  • Woedica's Challenge
    • All Per-Encounter and Class resources become Per Rest.
    • Party Health no longer regenerates outside of combat.
    • While camping, only "Prepared Meals" will recover Injuries and Resources.
• Two new Mega Bosses
  • The Wizard Savant
  • The Infernal Construct

Woedica's challenge (aka vancian casting) and new subclasses.... might actually give the game another shot.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

Omg! I’m going to have to restart my character as a Steel Garrote!!!!!!

 

[Infinitron]

Is one of the new challenges health/endurance split and pseudo-Vancian casting?

Yes!

 

[Butter]

Sounds like some pretty steep incline.

 

[Safav Hamon]

Woedica's Challenge

• • • All Per-Encounter and Class resources become Per Rest.
    • Party Health no longer regenerates outside of combat.
    • While camping, only "Prepared Meals" will recover Injuries and Resources.

Well there it is, Tigranes. Now there's no reason for you to pretend the first game is better.

 

[2house2fly]

All three new god challenges sound decent. That brings the total number of challenges I'll probably play with up to 7. Keen to get a look at the new subclasses

 

[Safav Hamon]

Sounds like some pretty steep incline.

Every patch has been steep incline. I've never seen a game improve so much after release.

Traverse an expansive dungeon built into the flesh of a sleeping god

I told you there would be a new god

Bloody hell, this alone makes the game better tenfold.

 

[Sailor Woedica]

Yaaaas queen woedica, slay

 

[Safav Hamon]

They've said that they were hoping to do updates for the first game as well.

 

[Infinitron]

So it turns out that what I thought was going to be a Patch 4.1 on the roadmap is just part of Patch 4.0. Three god challenges, two mega-bosses, all rolled into one patch. The final major update, then?

 

[Tigranes]

Woedica's Challenge

I'm glad I have you for perfectly transcendental and objective knowledge of the quality of every video game on earth, painstakingly derived from the scientific polls that you conduct day and night

I also didn't realise that I thought POE1 is unequivocally superior to POE2, I will now inform my inadequate brain of its own opinion

I'll try this challenge in my next playthrough and see how it goes - wonder which abilities/etc will go super wacky.

What would be cool is if you really had to start saying, "I'm setting out on a voyage, I can take this many supplies, that means I can rest this many times and have this many meals and such, so I should plot my course here and there". The way it is now, the ship is a fucking magic airplane running on invisible fuel fitted with a five-star hospital.

Yes, so they can start working to the next 3rd person action rpg for Xbox

 

[Anthedon]

Have they mentioned tweaks to Penetration anywhere?

I told you there would be a new god

it's under the Black Isle so the sleeping god is presumably Wael

Hmmm, but Wael is not sleeping. You can actually interact with him on PoE and Deadfire

God willing...

how the fuck is that racist?
