The sidekicks portraits kick ass, and so do Maia Rua and Serafen. Do you know if the Big 3's portraits (Eder, Aloth, Pallegina) are works in progress? So far they lack the "personality" of their POE1 counterparts IMHO.

Changes in the portrait ...

Looks like they de-anime'd Ydwin. I approve.

Ydwin still a sidekick: "Ydwin is currently a base cipher and/or base rogue, but two of the other sidekicks do have subclasses." https://jesawyer.tumblr.com/post/165191293231/hi-josh-i-was-wodnering-if-all-companions-will

Yeah not a fan of The Beckoner either, sounds a little too much like someone looked up synonyms for "summon" and plugged it right in. Why not The Recaller or The Assembler?

I'm going to take a guess and say about 3-4 minutes of in-game footage with commentary.

Reminds me (since IIRC, Cavaliers in AD&D 2nd Edition tabletop had a mount/steed), when are we ever going to have horses to ride in a game like this, or even a pack pony to haul our sh*t around instead of a magic party chest.

wooo, we've achieved Pinned status.

I wonder if it gets to fly at some point or rest on Maia's shoulder, it'll get tired of hopping everywhere the party goes.

Back in the day, that was a major gripe about BG1 and that they "fixed" for BG2, a lot of wilderness areas where there was little or no content. That was a plus for me, I love wandering the woods and then suddenly running into a ogre, or traveling merchant, or finding a random item hidden in a tree stump.

15 minutes into the next #Deadfire Q&A Twitch Stream: "Does anyone have any questions that don't deal with Ydwin?"

There's some cool stuff in the Josh Sawyer's Tweets and Teasers thread to tie you over. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/92515-josh-sawyers-tweets-and-teasers/

Never knew that she could in the first one. Given that its been stated that Pallegina's order (five sun's) is a unique subclass only useable by her I am fairly confident that it is subclass specific. Which means we should see similar things with (at very least) the other paladin orders and potentially with others. There's a couple of good game guides online to poke around on, here's the one on Paladins. It lists Pallegina's special Abilities including that one. http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Paladin Frermàs mes Canc Suolias (Pallegina only) Vielo Vidòrio - When the paladin uses Flames of Devotion, nearby allies gain increased Attack Speed. Wrath of Five Suns - Whenever the paladin uses Sworn Enemy, five orbs of flame leap from his or her hand and fly toward the target.

I posted the fan art for Hiravias as a goof as I didn't see his in-game imagery as anime.
