White Phoenix

s/vengeful/useless/ 'cause let's face it, once you cast this firebug (fck, IF you cast it, interrupts hello !! ) , you still need to hit AND overcome the enemy's resistance. Useless AF. Maybe it because of Gaun? As he is more protective than Eothas and Xoti worshipps him (I am sure she will have Protection spells). Well, class is not so bad if you find tactics (but forget about protection your party like Berath cleric). When I was playing I was usually healing and (de)buffing everyone. For now offensive spells worth of using are Divine Mark, Interdiction and Shining Beacon as they can hit often. Barbs of Condemnation are awesome too.

Woah, woah, woah, woah! ...No Suppress Afflictions? It was like... One of my favorite Priest spells at lower levels! Losing that spell is just.... Dumb... I'm beginning to dislike the changes from PoE 1 more and more. Let me guess.... No Withdraw either? Yeah, no Withdraw. Is Eothas god of death now? You can only kick asses with offensive spells, heal allies, sometime buff allies, debuff enemies but you cannot protect your party from death. I have hard time with understanding Inspiration spells and Protection one because they seem to be similar sometimes. In general this subclass looks more offensive than Berath.

Played priest of Eothas a lot in beta. Single class and multi (with druid, paladin and monk). Shattered Pillar combo is insane (two weapons style + priestly buff), same with Fury druid (I am electric god!). Paladin was fine (Kind Wayfarers). If you plan to cast a lot you HAVE TO max Dexterity as it shortens action time. Tried more offensive build with high perception and I noticed that some spells like Divine Mark, Interdiction and Shining Beacon hit more often than Repulsing Seal or Pillar of Faith because they attack enemy will - their weakest defense I think that loss of protection spells is too much as you cannot cast Watchful Presence or Supress Afflictions. Same with no passive talents. Fire druid spells are fine, maybe Firebrand not (miss, miss, miss :0) but Sunbeam and Firebug at power level V are nice touch.

Question: What is that 7-point MC-exclusive Religion check right at the *very* end?! I passed it with 7 point religion (only the Watcher) and nothing happened. Maybe it has effects in non-beta game parts? Or it effects somehow if you give papers to Nairi or Chieftain? Haven't checked it yet.

Storm is Hylea's as all meterological phenomena lay in her domain like wind, lightning etc. I wonder if Xoti has the same spells as priest of Eothas or their spells differ from each other.

I think it is a matter of nostalgia than immersion breaking. I usually don't play with Polish VO if there is one (with few exepctions) as I like more reading than listening. Numenera has Polish sounds because of very very little VO. If it had been like Pillars of Eternity or even White March it wouldn't have had any Polish sounds, I am sure. Pillars and other neoclassics are too niche for Polish market as they cannot sell in AAA numbers. Mass Effect 3 had no Polish voices unlike ME1 and ME2 despite huge fanbase. Similar things happened to Risen series, first game with no VO, Risen 2 with VO and Risen 3 same as Risen 1. It really shows that publishers see only money and profit, nothing more.

I dislike returning companions portraits (except Aloth) and wish to use old ones from POE1 My favourite are Xoti and Takehu -- really beautiful and matching their personality. Maia Rua -- not too bad except for her blue eyes Aloth -- the best of returning companions, gives some Elrond/Sand vibe. Pallegina, Serafen -- I just don't like en face look. Eder -- just awful! I am not a fun of watercolor portraits at all. I would like to use 'normal' in conversations with companions.

He was 32 during first game according to Strategy Guide. So he is 38 years old in Deadfire.

Wow, that was really detailed I really like that idea. I try to write something more about my Watcher later, probably not as detailed as Tulio.

And Disney Atlantis or Stargate one as well.

Wow! Graphics are stunning and it's only pre-alpha! Loving Tekehu portrait Cannot wait to visit Neketaka as it seems to be more interesting than Defiance Bay.

Don't kill Vela if she already exists, please. Look for Rhin from Torment: Tides of Numenera as she is one of the most likeable characters in the game. There is huge potential for exploring such themes as motherhood and fatherhood, especially if Vela has something in common with Eothas. Just don't kill her at beginning. Don't waste potential for good story, please.

You have to reinforce Eder 's brother actions or Waidwen's actions. You do not have to lie to Eder about vision (I told him I didn't know and it worked fine). Also dialogs telling him that it is worthy to follow Eothas' faith rules regardless of circumstances. Also I think the final decision is made in the last location in the game. It shows Eder's quest effects on him (his attitude) as final dialogues appear and determine Eder's ending. You have to have him in the party.

Time is a flat circle, we've always been in the Deadfire. There is hidden save called gamecomplete. You can find it in saves folder.

Josh said that 3-5 years but probably 5.

I wish they could wear circlets or special tattoos like Qunari in DA:I. It would solve helmet problem.

Huana or no one (if there is a choice) for my Eothasian Watcher. But lone wolf fits him the best. I'll decide finally in the game. All fractions look interesting (maybe without Royal Deadfire Company who seems to be typical 'evil colonists').

Carrie Patel also slipped that Eder names the baby. Hmn. Maybe he might also have fostered it in Dyrford if certain endings align. But isn't her name Vela? Or Eder gives her second name?

That picture If there are some kind of "romances" take a look: Eder and Aloth -- a lot of fan fiction contain them as a love interest (mostly for female Watcher) so no doubt there will be something. They both have Valentine in update. Pallegina -- I see her only for Godlike Watcher but some people wanted her regardless of it. She has Valentine in update. Xoti - I think she has good chance for some kind of love theme because of "normal boring human". In case of Pallegina not being available her chances would be higher. Maia Rua -- well, big yellow sister with a bird could not be interested in "romance" with non-aumaua. Or at all. Serafen -- wild orlan pirate and slave. No, I do not suggest BDSM theme here . Tekehu -- Godlike aumaua, probably Ondra's one. Well, he has his Valentine in update and looks like male Asari Perfect for some (tragic) love theme.

Yes, there is Same for Skaen priests. As for reactivity I doubt they will put background quest (even if only for Deadfire origin). In some stream there was a question about quests for priests and paladins and Josh said it would be very expensive to make them. So I think some characters will react if you are from Archipelago but with no specific background.

What!? Thaos was right! The Gods are not real pretty damn useless. So where do they get their abilities from? Do they... draw energy from their souls by any chance? (The standard PoE explanation) From faith. That's their power source.

Hard choice. Interesting if there is Eothas option... Probably Huana (Queen Okenaza or Prince Aruihi?) faction or going without allies. For my first Watcher. It all sounds like Tyranny factions a bit. Especially with 'anarchy run' (no allies).

It produces. It is hidden so you can't see it in save menu.

I voted for Maia Rua. I like her animal companion, her portrait and background with huana origin. I hope she's going to be interesting character as she's Kana's sister and loyal Rautaian. I wanted to choice Takehu but we know nothing about him yet. I don't like Ydwin for her appearance, she looks too 'modernly'.

I like Xoti and Aloth portrait. Eder looks like he's angry and Pallegina, meh. Give her old portrait.
