Are you trying to say that you are not millenial? Also millenial is a merican jargon.

Him and FreeKaner won't stop trying to derail the thread to how shit BG games are. Can't they just make their own thread and post that shit there? This thread is about how shit deadfire is. I don't mind derailing but thy are just spamming the same shit for 10th time,it becomes tedious.

An area designer would still be responsible for changing that stuff manually.

Found a Dialogue Options Report
Female (8) - Aristocrat (21) - Island Aumaua (112) - Deadfire Archipelago (157) - Cipher (25)/Priest (25) of Magran (25) (+5 from Deity: Magran) - maxed Perception (61), Might (44), and Resolve (38). At least 521 options.
For the opposite, go with:
Male (4) - Soldier (2) - Ixamitl Plains (6) - Meadow Human/Wood Elf (4) - Fighter (0) - maxed Constitution (7) and Dexterity (7), average/low everything else. 30 total.
Much like the first game, it's clear the writers stuck to their favourites/comfort zones, so many major options (race, class, background, culture) are largely irrelevant.
- 3 classes (Cipher, Priest, Druid) represent 52% of class-based checks.
- Deadfire Archipelago (157) has more options than the other cultures combined (113).
- Serafen is the most opinionated companion: 149 dialogue options change your reputation with him one way or another (62 negative, 87 positive), followed by Xoti with 109.
- Pallegina is the easiest character to piss off with few options: 24 options give major negative points with her, followed by Tekehu with 13.
- Edér is the most neutral. Only 21 options change your reputation with him.
- Cruel (61) and Shady (53) have the most checks, Clever (17) and Stoic (18) have the fewest.
- Xoti (50) and Aloth (32) have the most relationship checks (including Watcher and other companions), Maia (11) and Tekehu (12) have the fewest.

Yep, I recall Josh saying a while back that he was going to allow the Deadfire Archipelago background to be unbalanced.

It's 90% flavour text.
Saying a greeting or knowing a custom results in one extra line from NPCs, with no difference otherwise.

People actually don't disable reputation indicators in the options? Smh.

That's just the number of options that require a certain rank, Clever as a whole has 311 options. It's the second highest amount, only losing to Aggressive (326).
Writers were really fond of their "clever" lines, and wanted to let players pick them as often as possible.

Character Reputation wheels are a joke, so easy to fill out and opposites provide no penalties nor negation. Why not at least copy/paste factions wheel system where you keep both negative and positive?

Yeah, deceptive was changed because Josh thought it was a bit daft for a character to have a reputation for deceptiveness.
the game has 250 specific dialogue variations depending on your background
and not a single class quest
something's not quite right

Call it "if you can't do something right, don't do it at all." Look at how shallow the seven companion quests are, now imagine Obsidian spreading themselves thin on 11 individual quests based on one's class.
how does it feel now fuckerz
I now can bend some wood and chirp with xaurips, get amulet
finally druids are top tier larp option
Stoic Fighters are worst characters lol
But yeah, is bad. Might not even pick more than half of the options...

Fury druid is a lot of fun. Good aesthetics too.

Blinded vampires can still use dominating gaze
That's not relevant, what's relevant is can blinded party members be affected by dominating gaze?
I bet they forgot to tag their retaliatory gaze as gaze
the game clearly states that blindness makes gaze impossible, on top of being immune to them

To be fair you can still gaze while being blind. Gazing doesn't require the ability to see.
