Update #58 - The Forgotten Sanctum Preview
I hope it will be as good as Beast of Winter. I'd love to see some Lovecraftian themes in FS (personally I am huge fan of Nyarlathotep) however I never liked Wael much (ironically as it is the closest thing to 'Lovecraftian deity'). Hope Ondra will have some love in FS too Patch 4.0 sounds fantastic, especially Woedica's challenge.

Are Cipher powers innate or learned, lore-wise?
White Phoenix replied to Cav the Red's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Learned. Cipher class origins from Glanfathan brishalgwin. Grieveng Mother is exception as she probably was born with them. Or she learned somehow having no contact with 'professionals'. And Vitracks are only natural ciphers but they are not kith (they are wilder).

The gods, godlikes and speculation on the nature thereof
White Phoenix replied to Syurtpiutha's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Moon Godlike is Ondra's. If you play one you are called Ngati's child. Just like Tekehu. It seems Godlike can show various aspects of divine portfolio. It would be cool if Moon Godlike were one of Eothas aspects (there is some interesting theory about it in Deadfire). I thought Nature Godlike could be blessed by Eothas as he had some ties with nature by spring and agriculture themes. But yeah, Nature Godlike are definitively Galawain's as he is a patron of the beasts and wild life. Death Godlike is really strange. It is stated they are Berath's children but they have some characteristics for Rymrgand's domains like bad luck and disasters. They are also very bony and fleshy (decay domain?). Fire Godlike: Magran. Although some people connected them with Eothas as fire is also his element (the sun). My thoughts for another types: Skaen and Woedica can look similar as both have deformed faces. A lot of scars and burns. Abydon: I see them as metal-like creatures. Probably similar to the Eyeless. Rymrgand: Ice and white skin. Some aurochs' features. Wael: No eyes. Maybe some kind of androgyny. Hylea: Birdlike with colorful feathers. Maybe some of them are more animal-like than human. Eothas: Their skin covered with light and sparks like ethereal beings. Headshapes similar to the sun rays. Spring variant similar to Nature Godlike.

What did you think of the story?
White Phoenix replied to DragonWiz's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Eothas is too perfect. Nothing can stop and destroy him. I think it was a mistake to involve him with big scale story. I would prefer if it was more personal, hell I thought that Watcher probably had one part of Waidwen's soul (like in Hiravias splintered soul quest), so that's why Eothas stole it. But nope. It was only McGuffin leading you to Deadfire. Such wasted potential here.

Thoughts on the narrative
White Phoenix replied to HooAmEye's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)It's like with gods in previous game. They show up and become important too late to understand what is going on. Ok, you heard about Magran, Eothas, Berath but half of game is about animancy and Hollowborn crisis. Same with Deadfire. Half or more of a game is about factions and their conflicts. Only Huana quests tell you a little about Ukaizo and that's all. Main story is disconnected from rest of the game so there is no building. Except Port Maje and Hasongo I like the most. People are talking about things, thinking about things. They see what is happening. They care. I really wish there were more quests about world metaphysics like these in Spire.

Priests of Eothas
White Phoenix replied to zered's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)The game had many reactions to the priests of Eothas. Much, much more than POE1 or White March. But like it was said there was only one conversation with Eothas, two or three with Tekehu and Eothasian groups, not only Dawnstars. I was suprised Xoti had none or it were bugs. I will be playing once again when game systems are fixed.

Wish there was a Vela quest
White Phoenix replied to the_dog_days's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)She is bugged as far as I know.

How will you ROLEPLAY your character in pillars 2?
White Phoenix replied to Riftis's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Importing my priest of Eothas. Benevolent and Passionate mostly. This time I want his background (dissident) to play much more towards chaos/neutral alignment. Also crisis of faith incoming

* Spoiler* - How can you come back as a champion of _____ if you're a priest of another god?
White Phoenix replied to PneumaticFire's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I mean side with him in the plot and against berath and the other gods, He's my second favorite POE god after Abydon( wael and galawain are up there too but we haven't seen too much of them yet honestly) Josh Sawyer confirmed you can side with Eothas but what that truly means is yet to discover.

* Spoiler* - How can you come back as a champion of _____ if you're a priest of another god?
White Phoenix replied to PneumaticFire's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I can't see a problem. Berath chose you tu hunt Eothas in his name not to become his priest. That's a favour for saving your life. It doesn't matter if you are Eothasian, Magranite, druid, rogue or whatever. You owe your life to Berath, that's what matters, because you decide to hunt Eothas. I don't remember if you can lie and pretend you go in Berath's name.

* Spoiler* - How can you come back as a champion of _____ if you're a priest of another god?
White Phoenix replied to PneumaticFire's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Our Watcher lives because Berath has some purpose. And there may be some roleplaying reason if you support him in Pillars. Or you are Death Godlike. As White March is about Abydon-Ondra relation I think Deadfire tells us about Berath-Eothas. Can't wait to learn what's going on. And probably Berath is 5th faction as there is snake-like eternity symbol in reputation wheel: http://eternityproject.pl/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/pillars-of-eternity-2-deadfire_6022004-600x338.jpg We know Huana worshipp Berath as eels.
