My favorite things in Deadfire are,
- If you wanted to, you can be a pirate.
- New unique gear to find and put to use.
- Scripted interactions being improved on.
- Now being able to travel on the open sea.
- Neketaka (it's a pretty cool major city hub).
- All the new ships you can own and upgrade.
- Sea shanties, which your ship crew can sing.
- Having a lot more bounties to complete now.
- New and old companions (Glad Eder's back).
- Obsidian adding AI companion customization.
- New factions (they also have been improved).
- Multiclassing and subclasses were both added.
