First of all, check the Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/ Bunch of portraits there. There's also a decent size portrait pack here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/5ihmv...20Portraits.zip Some very nice portraits here too: http://www.jasonseow.com/poeportraits

Yeah, that's a visual bug affecting all grimoires. I think it only happens when you inspect them from the combat log? I know I've seen a normal looking grimoire, either equipped or in the stash

The combat mechanics are different enough in the first that adding tb mode would be a big job, so I wouldn't count on it. Would be nice though

I had that same problem. The exit's on the bottom right of the screen Note: if that's how you've been trying to leave, that IS a bug

Hmm maybe. I thought of them as her version of the Eyeless. But then maybe Eyeless could be considered Abydon godlikes?

Same dialogue, pretty much. I imagine an in-character reason would be that he's not willing to give Eothas the benefit of the doubt after how destructive his reappearance was, and he's wary of Xoti because he doesn't get how her faith in Gaun can persist in the face of what he's doing

They're all separate adventures so there's no real playing order you need to worry about. A couple of things to know though: Seeker Slayer Survivor is only available towards the end of the main quest (after the quest "He Waits in Fire") while the other two can be done sooner- Beast Of Winter is available right from the start, Forgotten Sanctum requires a little exploration towards the southish east of the world map. Release order is probably the best order, if only because each DLC is higher-level than the one before it- Beast Of Winter is recommended for around level 14, Seeker etc. for about level 16, and Forgotten Sanctum for level 18. There's plenty of challenge in the last two even at level 20, which is lucky because it's very easy to hit the level cap in this game!

That's not really something you can do with these games, sadly- the data you'd need to access to make a plot is in the engine and can't really be edited. I think the Infinity Engine games are a lot more moddable that way. Or possibly Neverwinter Nights

Side note: I can't believe that jackass Tayn tried to literally plant the godseed in the ground. Hey, at least the power is in safe hands.

It did! I just finished a playthrough and the Forgotten Sanctum slides are fully voiced. As is Ydwin's new dialogue at Ukaizo, and the... interaction between Wael and Eothas

If you saw a ninja then what you saw was a bad ninja

There's also a scripted interaction scene and an item labeled "laxi" in the game files; at a guess they're planning on actually doing something with the Crown Of The Exiled Queen

It might not be on gog yet; it's on steam right now. It isn't in the beta, it's in the full patch out today. Install the latest patch and then just select turn-based when starting a new game

Any ETA on the VO for Forgotten Sanctum? I'm waiting to finish up my playthrough until all the ending slides are voiced. Turn-based mode will give me plenty to do while I wait :D

There's also some ground-level renders of scenes like the Pillars 1 loading screens. At a guess they decided not to go with them because there aren't very many (mainly Tikaware/Poko Kahara and Neketaka) but I think a small selection of loading screens would be better than one

My only gripe is that time spent implementing a turn-based mode is time that could have been spent fixing bugs instead

Any future Obsidian game will also only have a monetary purpose because they're hoping people will buy the game. Every past Obsidian game as well. Every product you ever bought, in fact. Welcome to capitalism.

With Eothas's challenge giving you a very strict time limit it might be literally impossible

I'm curious about this. There are two possibilities I see: 1) the programmers have managed to create the turn-based system such that it can read the standard data and "convert" it to turn-based, so modders don't need to do anything(and the programmers don't have to manually make a turn-based version of every attack and ability in the game) 2) they just haven't put all the turn-based data up yet because the patch isn't out yet. Generally BMac puts modding patch notes up ahead of the patch itself, during the beta. In this case TB mode isn't in the data, so there may be patch notes up today. Of course, BMac himself is apparently one of two people working on TB mode so he may be a bit busy!

Eder has a funny comment elsewhere in the infested section: "What do you think words taste like? Paper, I suppose."

That would be fun, but yeah other party members also refer to things that never happened at that point

Isn't the final challenge just "all the challenges at once"? Technically that challenge has already been released, it just requires you to... select all the challenges at once

Turn-based mode won't be in until the full patch, which is out tomorrow

After travelling with you for a month he becomes fluent and has a conversation tree. Some of his comments in the DLCs shed a little more light on how exactly he ended up in the ocean

Yeah, the idea of someone being erased from the player character's memory is wonderfully creepy. I loved that line too, as well as Fyonlecg mentioning that his name used to be be appended to various spells you use in the game that all are attributed to nobody
