[UMM! You forgot something, Mirke...]

 

 

The moment i saw the female body paperdoll that is almost flat i knew what you are up to.

 

To me the female paperdoll looks totally normal. When was the last time you've seen any women?

[UMM! You forgot something, Mirke...]

 

Really don't know why people have issues with things in games. I always looked at games as been fun escape from reality where I can do all things I want and would never want do in real life.

 

If we took out everything that people complain about games would be so boring.

 

I also find it fun when game deals with life issues as can make you think and see things from someone else point of view.

 

I understand that not everyone wants to have all things in games. Like for example sexual intercourse or hardcore violence. I can even understand (at least a little bit) how naked Mirke could be too much, even if I don't think so myself. But buttocks inside the bathhouse?

[UMM! You forgot something, Mirke...]

 

I haven't been back to the bathhouse since.

As this topic arises the second time in this forum, I can no longer keep my question to all those with nudity problems for myself: That is no joke right?

 

The only person that I know personally, that has serious problems with that kind of stuff is a member of a religious sect, so I have a hard time imagining, how one can have a problem with 2cm high figures on screen which are nude, meaning that you can see their buttocks (I love that word. Learned it from a Monty Python sketch). So what's that about? Is this a religious, a culture-specific or a personal thing?

[Triggered]

 

 That's right. That is what the OP meant. You understood correctly and so,  the usage was sufficient for you to understand. That is how language actually works.  Recently, some people in universities, who should be educated enough to know better, have mistakenly thought they could control how others speak. It won't work, so you may just wish to ignore it.

 

 "Triggered" will mean whatever it ends up meaning based on usage - those who are triggered by that fact will be in for a rough time as it is just how language works. They will become even more triggered when newly born children begin to acquire language and learn a meaning of 'triggered' that has nothing to do with the accepted definition but is, instead, consistent with how people actually speak. It's best not to be triggered by any of this.

 

Seems like someone was triggered. Cry elsewhere.

[Absolutely furious right now]

I don't know what to say. Oh wait. I do.

We. are. doomed.

[Cipher should be able to self buff in Deadfire]

Psychovampiric Shield? Wild Leech? Borrowed Instinct? Didn't check the higher levels so far, but that's what my Cipher/Barb-Serafen is using. Works good.

[American accent in CRPGs. Yes or No?]

 

I dislike any voice acting in crpgs in general, because i play these games in my mother language. It's ruining my immersion when i read something and hear the same in english, so i just disable speech sounds.

 

Dann spiel's Englisch, weil die Übersetzung eh' nix daugt. Oder dreh' die Stimmen ab. Kann man im Menü seperat einstellen.

[Admirable Design Decisions]

 

I assume flamesium is talking about the scripted interactions.

 

Oh yes. Those are nice. By the way: Thank you all very, very much for a thread that points out the many great things about Deadfire, without the usual complaints and whining. It's a great game. Maybe the best I ever played. Can't tell at the moment, as I didn't finish it yet. Of course there are things I don't like, but those things are in every game. Deadfire comes incredibly close to the perfect RPG for me.

 

My favorite thing is how the factions and companions are designed. They are so believable and you have lots of reasons to either like or dislike them. Like real ****ing people. Nobody is just plain good or bad and you don't have to decide too early with whom you want to side. In PoE1 my decisions where always the same, no matter how much I tried to roleplay different characters. I cant wait to play Deadfire again to make totally different choices. The companions all have kind of a Durance side, where they are just complete ****ing ***holes or idiots, but on the other hand they are completely OK in some way. The companions I thought I would dislike have some aspects to them that make them still interesting (Even Imoen Xoti), while the ones I thought I would like (Aloth for example) can be just plain ****, depending on where you take them, whom you take with you and what you decide to do or say. More of that please!

Vignettes

 

What's that?

[Any way to spawn more ships?]

Respawn would be awesome. I blasted Assira Waveskipper, now I regret it. Want to see her on the map again.

[Combat is now mostly a dull chore]

Play PotD and never rest outside of taverns. That's the ways I do it. Problem solved.

[The Ship combat thread]

 

...

 

. . .

 

How eloquent.

[Let‘s help the developers to balance the game]

 

(4) Revert to the gear-stacking rules of PoE 1. Right now, a ring of protection stacks with another ring of protection. Disallow that.

 

Everything else: Yes. That: Over my dead body.

 

I love crazy stacking stuff. How much rings can you wear, anyway?

[The Ship combat thread]

 

The problem with the misplaced accents

 

They are not misplaced. They are intended.

[Anyone else kind of regretting multiclassing?]

I don't get how the system works, but I don't like it. mämämä. How come that a handful of persons complain about absolutely everything (How is it even possible that the same game is too easy on one side but all builds are too weak on the other?), while the rest of us don't? Don't tell me: We are all sheeps.

If that kind of stuff is important to you, go watch some youtube-videos that show you, how you can easily create multiclass builds that do 300-400 damage with a single hit. Nerd commando has some interesting stuff. Not that the game would be fun anymore with such an overpowered build, but to each their own.

Oh yes: And learn to love yourself, so you can learn to love others. Maybe there is a youtubevideo for that, too.

[Explosives don't make enemies aggressive]

When I shoot a barrel and hurt or kill enemies, neither the hurt ones nor the surrounding enemies get aggressive. Is that intended?

Plus: I think it's very stupid of them to get near the barrel that will explode. Shouldn't they flee in panic?

[When will the patch be released?]

 

 

The two we know of (Vela and Eder) have been fixed with the Steam beta patch, but that's not fi

Will I have to start a new game to make the changes work?

[Almost all negative Steam user reviews are due to bugs]

 

That seems to be the general consensus.

 

There are a few people that think Deadfire is better, most are content that it's a bit below.

 

I do. It lacks a lot of things I liked about the first one, but there's so much new stuff that I like about it. (Basically almost everything that are flaws in Odoakars opinion.) But as a grown up person I see no need in leaving a steam review or something like that and I think lot of others like me feel the same.

 

So far Deadfire is a real marvel, even with all the things I dislike about it. I didn't have that much fun since BG2.

[Scavanger Hunt GOG]

So what happened with that code and GOG? Does it work now? And how? Can't use Galaxy as I'm on Linux.

[How will you ROLEPLAY your character in pillars 2?]

Now that Seeräuber-Jenny got her ship with eight sails and sixty cannons, that damn city will finally burn. OK, not the city. But the gods maybe. And the mortals. And everything that catches fire.

[What's the general consensus about the current rest system?]

What? People didn't get the Health/Endurance-Thing? Don't get me wrong, I think I'm fine with the change (I haven't played the beta), but debility shouldn't ever be a reason to change something in that kind of game. I don't want to sound like my own grandfather, but in our days we had to wrap our heads around much more complicated things. We were the generation that had to find out what works and what does not and although I felt a little bit challenged sometimes, I think it was totally OK to figure some things out for myself. And now you tell me todays kids have problems with two bars instead of one?

[Why I think a fully voiced PoE:Deadfire is a mistake]

 

 

I, too, spend most of today playing indies rather than AAA and have stumbled on some gems, games made by 3 to 10 people that sell for $14.99 with more depth and lore than an rpg game. What sorcery is this that Hollow Knight a game made by 3 people could possibly dethrone Castlevania

 

Man, that game looks beautiful. I have to try it.

[Why I think a fully voiced PoE:Deadfire is a mistake]

 

I remember certain phrases from BGII to this day

 

BG1 is stuck in my head forever. I'm still using (in real life) phrases like "Warum wohne ich nur in so einem Kaff?" (Why do I live in such a dump? Talantir said that. I'm actually living in a stupid small town, so I have lots of oportunities to use it.) and lots of other oneliners from the game. Mostly Xan, of course. Now that I think of it, I feel kind of brainwashed. But I like it.

[Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part III]

Edit: That was a bull**** post. Sry.

[Does anyone else get the feeling that deadfire is more goofy and gimmicky then pillars]

 

Did it result in a serious disappointment?

Indeed it did.
