2: I wish to hell I could see all these romances... everyone keeps complaining about it happening too quickly, I haven't had anyone say anything remotely romantic - this is supposed to be a fantasy not my real life! 3: Not a fan of the open thing either... I have no idea if I should explore or just go after the god statue... and there are now so many quests and weird names of people that I just don't care much about them any more - I have lost track of who is who and why I should do what they asked. I just want finish them... any quest - just to remove it from my ever-growing list. 4: Some of the quests are boring but some are good... its not what I was hoping for though. I really would have been happy with a new quests and stories with the PoE gameplay and world (maybe with DC for those that need that - I don't). I'm sort of not bored, but I really don't have any desire to play it any more. The game is just too big, open and unstructured and the list of strange named people and places just puts me off. Maybe if I stick at it I will change my mind, I just don't know if I can be bothered to stick with it. I think maybe just watching a few youtube games (immanuel can for example) would have been enough for me. I don't actually feel much like playing it myself - maybe pirates aren't just my thing

It's a stupid idea - Devs wanted people to swap them but no one did. So now they are forcing you... Personally I haven't felt any need, I pick the spells on leveling and just keep the same book. It's a dumb idea, as you can't change the spells you selected so if you swap you may be able to cast less spells if the books spells are the ones you selected, plus half the ones in the books aren't what you want and end up never being used.

The difficulty is fine... They just need to reduce the price of magic items, give everyone deep pockets and let you consume consumables... Or just remove them from the game. Also wizards need to be able to choose spells - swapping books is stupid, I haven't felt the need or desire. I'm not switching books all the time, half the spells are useless or not for how I play. Making wizards have to use certain spells they don't want is like telling fighters they can only get prone if they also take bulls will or a paladin can only have FoD if he also takes snakes reflexes. This restriction isn't made for non-wizards so why should wizards be so restricted

The food system should just be removed... I have so many crafting ingredients and can't use them as I don't rest after every room. Either let people eat food when they want or remove it. As it is in deadfire it is completely useless. Also now that you can't enchant any old weapon the majority of crafting items are useless... coupled with the fact that we are one man down in terms of party size - means we have lost 4 quick slots - all characters should start with deep pockets to compensate. Then we might actually be able to use all the loot we are collecting

I would like to see the level race and class of my characters (some of my PCs have similar names, or the game may have been started months ago), not just their name. Also some kind of tab system that let you switch between finished games (being kept for PoE3) and unfinished games. and maybe an archive tab when I can move games that I want to keep that aren't finished so that I can come back to them at a later date. Maybe also a party viewer to let you view the party members and their stats/equipment without actually loading the game

Completely in the dark
ArnoldRimmer replied to Raphvev's question in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)
I use linux with intel HD graphics... the game is much darker in dungeons than PoE 1 but as it was - at least for me - only inside areas I thought it was by design to encourage people to use torches. or xoti's lantern. The map always shows everything in fully lit so you can always switch to the map if you can't see 5h!t - which is often the case in the dungeons -
I wish the game warned you about some types of magical weapons being rare (so you don't take proficiency in them) - at least BG2 did that with scimitars - it was pretty late in the game that you acquired celestial fury - if you even discover where it is. In PoE 1 for my first game I decide to use morning stars... what a kick in the teeth that was - the only decent one turns up right at the very last part of the game. If they aren't going to warn people they should balance out the magical weapons or let people enchant ordinary weapons

I plan on only single classing at the beginning, MC seems like crippling a class - maybe min/maxers see it different but I don't min/max. I want to use the highest level abilities. Having said that I may play a druid(animist (bear form)/shifter) together with a ghostheart ranger (bear spirit animal). I could then summon the bear after becoming one myself!

1 - Even if they work differently, they could have used them as defaults that you then check and modify as needed. And the name???? Why the hell couldn't they import that or the class and race? Some of my saved games are over three years old that I now have to load up in PoE 1 just to see what my character was. If obsidian think there is no need to have these things the same then they shouldn't have bothered letting you import at all. 2 - Yes I know but I never imagined the pirates could be at home on the benny hill show - after PoE 1 I thought there would be some level of realism/seriousness kept. It's not terrible but also not what I was expecting. I'm reminded of Blackadder 2 when they discovered the potato: "Not joining us in the "harr harrs Percy?" 3 - Yes it is fantasy, but now it's like avengers civil war - or like street fighter where the only thing anyone can do is a some sort of special move... fights on Youtube are nothing more than 1 ability after another. It makes BG2 look real. PoE was so serious in tone compared to BG2, martial types actually did real fighting, most of the time it was only casters that had that little circle above their head with the spell they were casting. Now it is all that you see on everyone. Maybe I'll get used to it after a while.
