How is the supply of money in this game, is it tight as it is or should I pick Abydon's challenge?

It depends on how you play. If you burn every ship you see and sell every unique you find then you'll have a lot of money. Don't go after the ships and hoard your uniques and you won't be a super fat cat.

Deadfire now has accolades from the world's biggest PC gaming magazine, and the world's longest running PC gaming magazine.
The only accolade that counts is the goty award at the prestigious RPGCodex magazine, which it doesn't have a chance in hell of winning.

Suck it fanboy.

I don't understand the extreme hate. Why can't you enjoy both Fallout AND IE games? Both are very well done. If a game surpasses a certain level of quality, why should you not enjoy it?

I like Fallout a lot but I love my orcs and wizards more than the post-apoc so I prefer IE games. It's all very simple - if you're comparing games that are both very good, it's all down to personal preference.

Yes, Fallout actually exemplifies this genre, while the IE games (except Torment) are a weird mix of RPG character progression, party-based tactical game and an open world in which you have minimal influence as a character. They aren't bad at all, just not in the same category as Fallout.

It's not a matter of hate but rather of the taste. What is interesting is that both FO and BGs did something right and instead of combining what that is, people have chosen to become nostalgia-ridden, which translates as we want a fallout clone or an IE clone. Why not actually try to see where these games went wrong and remove it?

J_C don't edgy me you fuck. NOBODY IN THIS THREAD PLAYS THIS GAME, they instead talk about its popularity or something.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE NOBODY ON THE INTERNET KNOWS WHICH CONDITIONS LEADs TO WHICH VERSION OF THE WATCHER ABILITIES??

I know that in Eothas conversation what you tell to him gives you different version of phantom of the lost depending whether you reach out to your soul, souls of the lost or talk to Eothas but I have no fucking idea what adjusts the Visage of Death's herald.

Can you NERDS STOP TALKING ABOUT FALLOUT AND TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING GAME

Well, yeah, only 3 people play this game in this thread. We are either cockblocked by glitches nobody knows the solution to or are maligning the game without playing it, lol. I didn't even know you can get different version of Watcher abilities, I never used them in PoE1 because they were very meh.

Codex today has very different standards than it used to. IE games were once considered trash around here (as they should be).
Thankfully even the Codex was salvageble.

When people believe that X can do no wrong, and J_C you are one of these, then they are not helping. Keeping an open eye, being critical when it is most needed is the right attitude. After a mistake is made it is generally easy to see it. Hindsight is 20/20 and that shit.
I never said that the IE did nothing wrong. I reacted to the notion that the old Codex tought the IE were garbage. Which they objectively weren't. So I said, thankfully the Codex could change and instead of blind hate, they could value some of the good things in them.

I think you should shut the fuck up. If anyone knew the answer to your question, they would have answered it. If you're getting so frustrated with not knowing the exact truth behind a few semi-irrelevant Watcher abilities, take the few minutes to save-reload the game and experiment with the results yourself, and then you can enlighten the Internet yourself.
