Ethics Gradient

hCSjoE - PAX East Twitch Stream, Day 2 (07 Apr) It's the same code that Carrie, Aarik, and Mikey were wearing during the final days of the convention.

Aloth's reference model was Milou van Groesen. Pallegina has Ajuma Nasenyana as a facial reference. Nothing much has changed between the two games to say that the portraits are radically different. The artists just used different shots of the same models as inspiration.

Why buy one copy when you can have two for twice the price!!

Yeah. It's totally GOG. And it's not entirely that they're bunch of backwards jerks or anything; as a distribution platform they have a different philosophical approach to games than Steam does. Part of their belief is that a title shouldn't require some external server to unlock, earn or manage content. It's great 5-10 years down the line when all the infrastructure disappears (like with the Mass Effect 3 or Assassins Creed IV mini-games/apps), but it can be a total bummer for modern releases that might casually rely on a web tie-in or server to do something cool for the players. It doesn't mean that GOG users are going to be totally left in the dark for this promo. It just means that GOG as a platform isn't having a hand in distributing the Scavenger Rewards. There's nothing stopping the "DLC" being repackaged as a "mod" (which is essentially what it is) and distributed through other channels.

Regardless of GOG's stance on how DLCs should work, I don't think there's anything stopping Obsidian from distributing the rewards separately through the Scavenger Hunt portal. A simple drag-and-drop of a 4kb file is all GOG users should need. Another solution would be to leverage existing systems. Popping open the console and typing something like COSMIC SCAV_REWARDS1 could also do the trick. Anyway, I guess my point is there are still plenty of options that Obsidian has at their disposal before the community has to forge their own solution. And there are still a few weeks to sort it all out. I'm not too worried.

Josh has said a few times during recent streams that this will indeed be a thing in Deadfire. Ships will have an upgrade item called the "Menagerie" where you can place extra pets. Those pets will freely roam your ship while you sail around Eora, and you can swap them in and out as desired.

True.... but you can always crack the save file back open and flip that bit back in the other direction... If Obsidian can't find an easy way to get the Scavenger bundles to GOG users, I imagine it won't take too long for the community to generate a step-by-step guide to add the items without permanently branding your save as a party of cheaters. When there are Pirate Space Pigs on the line, fans will find a solution.

Since it is likely to be in the released game whether or-not you get the scavenger DLCs, there's probably nothing stopping you from using console commands to add these items to your party (GOG or steam). If they're anything at all like the PoE1 "exclusives", the DLC packages are just a few tiny override scripts to tell the game to to drop a certain package of already-in-game items in the party inventory without marking the save as having used cheat codes.

Done! I’ll try and clean up and streamline all the threads when I get a chance. Everything could use a solid update now that we know what they’re for.

This link. Happy Typing!

Thanks! I never saw the full-text for that second article! All the magazines so far have had a similar set of codes inside. Somewhere inside are the KFK5Lj and RMaM4A press-kit images, and probably you could spot XQrdGv or DeYvu8 on the front cover. The hunt continues.

I haven't gone super-crazy combing through the thousands of 2d assets, but in the last few months, I haven't seen anything in the beta to suspect that's the case. The announcement also didn't specify that data mining was within the bounds of this promotion. I doubt there's much to be found there besides a bunch of out-of-context spoilers.

...the hell? smh Thanks! It’s a silent ‘d’. Obviously.

The other 29 seem correct in the front OP, but this one is wrong. Anyone figure out what it actually is yet? Am I wasting my time, is there a way to just get all 10 items without pasting the codes and keeping up with this thread? Yeah. We're working on that one... seems to be causing trouble. As far as entering the codes, it's just as easy to wait a few days (or until release) and see what we find. No need to be involved in the race code-by-code.

where? edit. before you log in, its at the bottom of. https://eternity.obsidian.net/scavenger Thanks!

Yeah. There's no reason not to. Whether you go GOG or Steam, redeeming your key will add the appropriate "Fig Backer Edition" of Deadfire to your account.

”Accidentally” published on Steam There are also a lot of game systems that we don't fully understand yet either. Not every code necessarily has to be redeemed for a scavenger bundle, even if it seems like that is the most probable outcome. The more I dig into the "Berath's Blessing" NG+ system, the less straightforward it seems. Maybe some codes redeem for Berath tokens or other undiscovered game bits.

I know! I almost feel insulted! (not really) WHY U DOUBT ME BRO!!1!

Pics or it didn’t happen Didn't want to post too much earlier. But now that someone let the pig out of the bag (or however that aphorism goes), it appears that the secret is out.

Nice find! Did you happen to see any others? One of the best theories concerning all those codes we've been finding is that they're redeemable for items in-game. That theory got a big boost in the latest beta with a bunch of unfinished references to "Scavenger Bundles", which are redeemed and granted to the party. That steamdb screenshot you took just adds another ray of hope that those codes we've piled up are indeed redeemable, somehow, for something.

So, I dropped a post about an interesting find a couple weeks ago. All the pieces aren't quite there, but in the latest beta there are references to a thing called "Scavenger Bundles". They're similar promotions to the cosmic pet codes, but tracked and managed separately. Somehow you enter the code (console? NPC?), and it grants a stack of items, and then marks the party save as having received it. It's nice to see some independent confirmation that it's a thing. That image seems to seal the deal that these codes are redeemed for bundles of items. No time to slack off though. Just under a month of new codes left to find! Yup! Just like the Scavenger Bundle info, it's entirely possible that a cute little space pig with a pirate hat has been hiding in the beta for a little while.

There was also this tweet. But the code in the middle of the image we found last week.
