Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lacrymas]

I've been clamouring for more sidekicks the moment they were announced. The regular companions have far too much room and possibilities to become shit.

 

[Infinitron]

What is the difference between a companion, a sidekick or a hireling if you never speak to them (always ignoring the little indicator that appears when they have something to say)

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I can hardly even imagine playing this type of game without 2D painted portraits. Isometric RPGs and 2D painted portraits are inseparably associated in my mind.

That I know the shit is there, ready for me to lift the lid.

 

[Hyperion]

Looks like Ian McShane. Not sure about the female Aumaua though.

Companions will probably have more banter with other party members as well.

hey look
another game where kids are just resized human models with no attention paid to limbs/body proportion.

 

[Lacrymas]

Is it just me, or is their stance really unnatural? They also have huge hands.

They look hunched over like they are ready to kick some ass or something.

 

[AW8]

But can we kill them?

 

[Sentinel]

Unfortunately not.

You risk a refusal to rate your game and, if they do, a mature only rating. Additionally, you'll probably face a ban in some countries. I don't think they'll be bothered with it. Hopefully someone mods it.

 

[Lacrymas]

Aha, so mowing down adults by literally the thousands is ok, more than ok even, but killing children is a no, no?

 

[Ninjerk]

Child privilege

 

[Infinitron]

PoE1 has children too. Anybody ever try killing one?

 

[Starwars]

Another new and exciting discussion on the codex.

 

[Lacrymas]

There's just nothing to talk about regarding P2 and twiddling our thumbs until they announce the beta is boring. Time to recycle some discussion material!

Limb proportions. Do you people listen to yourselves?

 

[CptMace]

MCA chimes in on FB!

I arrive super late at the party and can't be bothered to read what's been posted after but, damn, I finally get to see what MCA says of your game if he's not paid

 

[Iznaliu]

Besides the baby? : I

There's also Gordy in Defiance Bay.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Do the Wichts not count because they are undead!?! I definitely murdered undead children in vanilla PoE.

They are enemies, so they don't really count.

[Iznaliu]

I would actually like some actual updates about actual content.
