Did they actually say that they wanted to do a Pathfinder cRPG? [speculation hat] What if the mystery Unreal Engine project is a spiritual successor to NWN2, but set in the Pathfinder universe? [/speculation hat]

I think you're right. There is a hard limit of 26 displayed dice. Not 100% sure what happens to dice in excess of 26, but it is entirely possible that they don't get rolled (or exist). I remember earlier in the game when there were bugs to add arbitrary quantities of dice, and I don't recall seeing rolls much in excess of 300. I remember some 500+ rolls, but they all had some absurd +200 bonus from other exploits. Edit: After some additional investigation, dice in excess of 26 are essentially discarded. They do not exist, and therefore do not get rolled. Sure, it puts an upper-limit on Alpha strike fun, but if rolling a 300 won't do the job, you've run into a serious problem!

Yeah, it is entirely possible that the community got 'Deadfire' wrong (seems unlikely). We'll only know for sure in a few more days. However... it is one heck of a stinkin' coincidence than when you jumble up all the phonemes those eight characters represent, Deadfire is among the possibilities.

Whatever the next reveal happens to be (white background), it should also be the one that includes the "waves" image. I'm not sure 100% sure how the waves will display on a standard browser (if at all). You may need to check out the Project LA page with an iPhone or make the browser window really small to see it.

As I look at the large-ish island on PoE2 map, all that comes to mind is: Weigh Anchor! Set sail for Captain A-Hole island! Whatever it eventually gets called, we must never forget that island started off with a pretty awesome name.

<!-- ******** IV ******** --> Nice to see that the html header is still counting down. Though, we already seem to know that something's up for the 26th.

With a cameo by Tunon the Adjudicator as the high school principal.

Blessing of the Gods and Favor of the Gods default to a "mimic-first, then play as self" behavior. If you want to use a Favor's play another blessing power instead of just mimicking the blessing deck, there is still a way to do that. When you don't want a BotG or FotG to mimic, tap the blessing deck then tap the Blessing button to turn off the mimic ability. The Blessing button got introduced a few major patches ago, but has gone largely unnoticed because the only time you'd ever want to turn it off is to use a FotG's ability to play another blessing on a check. So, FotG isn't bugged..., though it could use some UI feedback letting you turn the mimic ability on/off as it is played.

<!-- ******** V ******** --> Tick, tock.

Woah.

The other tip is, if you're just playing to "game the system" don't simultaneously "play to win." You still get to the deck repair screen after a forfeit.

Daawwwww. A big forum hug for everyone!

Seven Dwarves, you say? Your Honor, let me introduce exhibit B: Totally Legit.

The Leaden Key quote yesterday should have done serious damage to remaining Fallout speculation. That, and the assortment of characters from fantasy languages that seem to spell out "Deadfire"

The countdown continues... <!-- ******** VI ******** -->

There is a header in the html file that was not present yesterday. <!-- ******** VII ******** --> It looks like we're counting down from 7, which is in line with the projection that there are 6 more days/glyphs to come.

Whew! Looks like i got the second glyph right. Chevron two, encoded!

Better luck next 200 times!

Probably ok. If you go like 300 chests between alts or legendary dice you're probably falling off the top end of the bell curve. Again, just speculation. Legendary dice are super rare. Alts are probably at least a tiny bit rarer.

Awesome! That would also work really well as a extremely confusing t-shirt!

Hey, just a reminder that there's a dev stream happening on twitch in an hour. https://www.twitch.tv/obsidian Josh Sawyer will be there to answer all your obviously-not-about-pillars-of-eternity-two questions.

The emblem and quote seems hard-coded for now. We'll have to wait until tomorrow (or next week) to see if that changes along with the glyph and background.

Agreed. You also have to figure statistics-wise, it probably isn't going to be easier to find a character alt than a legendary dice set. Legendary dice are in the neighborhood of 1-in-200 chests redeemed. There is no reason to expect that alts should drop any more frequently.

Not so fast! After 1000 years living underground, dwellers from Vault 2000 emerge from what old maps referenced as "New Orleans" to encounter a world of magic and dragons. Gather your companions and set sail from the Mississippi Delta to discover what new lands await.

Hot damn! That makes sense when combined with this other image I uh.... found.
