What would you like for an hypotetical PoE3?
InsaneCommander replied to juanval's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Somebody once suggested I'd have a lot of fun with then. But not all of them would agree.

How is the Forgotten Sanctum?
I really liked it. Good maps, story and battles. Even the pets are cool.

InsaneCommander replied to juanval's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Allow us to edit grimoires. It could be something difficult or rare, for example: requiring something like the mythical adra stone or the help from a busy archmage, that wouldn't do it often. No urgency for the main plot. In fact, make it so that you can't find the last area until you do multiple quests. That would justify doing the DLCs and exploring random places. Include Vela in that. She could be a companion, antagonist or the mentor of a reincarnated Watcher. The child might become a villain too.

Forgotten Sanctum is pretty darn good [Heavy Spoilers]
InsaneCommander replied to anameforobsidian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)If I understood correctly, you need to help one of the Archmages twice. So either: - You give the unaltered books to Llengrath and do with the prisoners as she asks or - You give her the books altered by Tayn and release the prisioners as he wants Edit: I actually haven't finished the quest yet, so I don't know the lore. I saved after choosing what to do with the Oracle and now I'm trying to decide if I will replay the battle and choose a different option.

Which Civilization?
I'm guessing this is the last expansion (could be wrong though since Rise & Fall was sort of small...) but I really want to see the following. The Celts, Venice or some Italian Renaissance (not Rome) Civ. Venice could suffice, but I want to see the idea of Venice expanded further to a united Italy. The Huns Mexico Tibetan Empire (or maybe Nepal for a tall mountain Civ.) Ethiopia Plus alt leaders for US & China would be nice. Another solid list of Civs (suggestions). Specially the first two.

SPOILERS About the end
InsaneCommander replied to Nssheepster's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)In other words, there must be lots of Vailians collecting Adra with the souls of their deceased family and friends, using that essence and preventing the resurrection of their loved ones. I mean, memories are what make us who we are, so technically, the second your memories are lost you cease to exist, just leaving unnamed, unclaimed essence behind. So it's more akin to them profiting off the corpses of their loved ones, not their loved ones themselves. But the memories are not lost. The Watcher awakened many lives later and remembered the time of the inquisition.

The future of Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny
I just finished Forgotten Sanctum and now I want a PoE3 even more. It included some very interesting information about the lore.

Forgotten Sanctum is pretty darn good [Heavy Spoilers]
InsaneCommander replied to anameforobsidian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Giving the body to Concelhaut is ultimate example of Tayin's "Let's see what happens" philosophy, so I'm interested to see if even he thinks that is going too far :D I chose to give it to the fungus. But it would be nice if you could ask for a body for Concelhaut and put him in one of those floating eyes instead. lol I feel sorry for the Orlans of old.

(Forgotten Sanctum) Can we, or can we not join the Circle of Archmagi ?
InsaneCommander replied to Atherelm's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)The PoE1 Llengrath had to be convinced not to attack the Watcher. I actually don't remember very well, but I think you need to pass skill checks to avoid the battle. Is she good? Maybe she believes she is, but the Watcher will have a different opinion. Btw, I didn't support any of them in FS. Edit: actually

The DLC talk - Favorites, dislikes, comparisons to White March etc (spoilers)
InsaneCommander replied to Starwars's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I prefer the WM model too. But I really liked the Deadfire DLCs. I just finished the FS and it is really good. I chose to But now I'm considering replaying the battle to do as Tayn suggests. I didn't go back to the Scriptorum yet, but I hope the archmages leave the place so that I can finish "cleaning" it. Last time I tried they joined the locals.

Why is Vela constantly in my Captain's Quarters?
InsaneCommander replied to asetofnewlungs's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)They are also generally distrusted and used as slaves. Orlans have it hard in general. I would not judge Vela for being high on ripple sponge and drunker than Mirke. Stolen from the crib by to weird person who talks to ghosts. And it just gets weirder from there. Exactly. Depending on the order you play PoE1, she will be in your backpack in several dangerous moments. She was already one of the greatest adventurers in Eora before even learning how to walk. Edit: Also, this one lol

Which Civilization?
Playing the Giant World map with real locations in Civ 5 was quite memorable. It took a lot of time. I did it with England once and tried again twice, with Spain and Russia. But didn't get to the "20th century" in these last two games. I also used the ingame editor to provide units and cities when Europe was supposed to be colonizing the Americas. And for WWI and II.

Weird. Random. Interesting.
Well, if dogs and foxes can be domesticated, we will eventually see other species too.

Why is Vela constantly in my Captain's Quarters?
InsaneCommander replied to asetofnewlungs's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Yes, it didn't take long for her to pick up bad habits on the boat. Unless it started earlier, in Caed Nua. If there is no PoE3, I'll assume my character ended up leading the Principi Council and Vela eventually joined as well.

InsaneCommander replied to asetofnewlungs's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Another thought: would you let your five year Orlan daughter hang around with a crew that plays Orlan's Head?

What did you do for your second playthrough?
InsaneCommander replied to MotelOK's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm still finishing my first game, but I have the others planned. First run: clever/shady pirate Assassin. Mock everyone and steal even what I don't need. Second run: benevolent/honest Sorcerer, allying with the Vailians because of my Pal Gina. Eder, Xoti and Aloth come along and Eothas is a nice guy. Third run: Woedica Templar. Help the gods deal with the Eothas menace. Side with Rauatai because the character is lawful neutral and believes they will bring order to the Deadfire (actually I want what they give me when I side with them). Fourth run: Corpse Eater/Blood Mage or another cool combination that works better. Custom party, kill all companions and play with as many Challenges as I can handle.
-
Any plans for releasing new achievements?
InsaneCommander replied to baldurs_gate_2's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Imagine beating 100% of the game with all challenges on. Eothas' will force you to be quick but the others will make it really hard.

do companions know if your stealing, (not caught by npc's, just in general)
InsaneCommander replied to cedon's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)A good thief can do that. People will eventually get distracted or look away. But don't ask me why Dereo and his men keep moving around as if they had never seen sparkcrackers.

Why is Vela constantly in my Captain's Quarters?
InsaneCommander replied to asetofnewlungs's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Unacceptable! You can't simply eat it. First recruit as many Orlan crew members as possible, then include Serafen and Mirke in your party and make some custom Orlan companions. Preferable one with Hiravias portrait. That is it. Now you can have your supper.

InsaneCommander replied to cedon's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Stealing is mandatory. At least if you expect to get something useful. When I play with an honest character I'll just pretend that Ydwin or someone else is pickpocketing and my Watcher didn't notice. I'd steal from the gods if I could. I did do it in DOS2.
