My current character is not interested in romance at all. Unless you consider those crew members knocking on the door as such.

Even the romance? Wait, they will forget everything? Hmm...

He might be a better option, if you prefer a priest in your party. But to get him you'll need to to do some content that will not be easy for a low level party.

Ondra would be even worse, you would forget it even after resting.

Good idea. Even if you don't play with Skaen's challenge, it'd be cool to have another special item that illuminates because it's very satisfying to explore the dark environments.

I thing you got it right. Beckoners are not that good right now, except for the "exploit". Or at least I haven't seen anyone saying otherwise. This idea of a full Chanter party is cool. Now I want to try it too, but I'll leave it for my third or fourth pt.

Why? Because he's not in his natural habitat? He used the console to spawn it - it is Neriscyrlas. You really should watch the videos before commenting. Lol Or maybe that is Neriscyrlas' house. Dragons like beds too, you know?

Does Time Salvation also make it worse when you are targeted with Disintegration?

I haven't done the late-game yet, but I can say something about BoW. My character is a shady/clever pirate that supports the Principi. Without giving spoilers, there were some moments when I got some reactivity for been clever or trying to manipulate others. However I wouldn't say that it is something big. Maybe other characters will have a different experience. Religious and pacifists Watchers will be rewarded for sure, which doesn't mean that this is the favorable or better way to play the expansion. I'll explain it better here, but seeing this will spoil experiencing it for the first time:

I'm gonna go play my own challenge with a Black Jacket and hookers!

I like the music but the shanties are the best part imo. That said, I'm all in favor of adding more!

Besides 5 chanters you'll have a paladin and a barbarian. A wizard would be a nice addition. If you are satisfied with the damage the chanters can do, get some cc spells for Fassina. If you think 5 chanters will deal with cc, then concentrate on offensive spells. You could also give Fassina Eldritch Aim, Merciless Gaze and other enhancing spells, and compensate her stats. Edit: 5 chanters is a lot, you can have all of their abilities and repeat some of your favorites. I'm still playing the game for the first time (I don't have much time to play) so I'm not the best one to help you with your builds, but I suggest you check the builds thread and start with that. https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/98193-the-obsidian-boards-build-list-last-modified-29-august-2018/ There is a Pallegina build there, one that might work for Konstanten and even a Loremaster, but this last one is for a Beckoner. If you decide how to build the other characters, you can give Fassina whatever is missing from the Chanter's ability tree. You could also try to use some synergy between Chanter and Wizard, but I haven't tried one yet, so let's hope somebody else present some ideas in this thread.

A way to hear the character's name would be to offer a few options of names based on the culture, like Aldwyn, Durnisc, Ancelle, Malita, etc. If you picked one of these options (that are based on the in-game languages) they would have been recorded and would be used in the dialogues. Edit: you can see a list of names here https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Personal_names

OP until they cast Obsidian's Draconic Nerf.

Yes, that one too. In fact the WM2 had some big ones as well. Maybe we'll get another one in SSS or FS.

Does anyone know where to find the new grimoires? I'm not playing the beta, but I'd like to find them asap.

They could set PoE3 in Old Vailia and change the protagonist to the Nasenale.

Critic reviews are useless. Most of them are created without a clear picture in mind, because due to time constraints the guy has limited time to play the game. Paid advertising is a thing too. Myself, I tend to pay more attention to user reviews. Me too. But sometimes I check the opinion of a youtuber that I know well and it can be useful when deciding to buy a game.

You can also change the portraits if you want to use one that belongs to a crew member, for example. If you like "male_human_2_lg.png" and it is being used by a crew member, and you know that "male_human_7_lg.png" is not used by anyone, backup your portraits folder and then swap the names of these portraits. Maybe add a custom one just to be sure nobody is using it.

Yes, the number is close, but I miss those giant Russetwood and Durgan's Battery Exterior maps.

So, can we cast Crowns for the Faithful on our enemies? Maybe give them some potions and food too?

They should add a Josh god challenge where every item and ability in the game have their beneficial effects reduced by 75%. And a new mega boss that gets ten times stronger every time someone complains about a nerf.

Confirmed in the other thread that it is a lot of work indeed. Too bad Ydwin is unlikely to become a companion, but as AndraColombo said there, personal quests and relationship system are not the most important things, so if more content is coming for Ydwin, it is good news for me.

Nice patch! I wonder if we can get the new items by revisiting the places where they are. And the new pets too!

Great news. Thanks for letting us know!
