It'd be nice to get an opportunity to backfill some of this through early-game dialogue. (E.g., telling Aloth what you've been up to when you first meet him.) Although it would also probably be possible to for the game to extrapolate a lot of it from your Pillars 1 end-state, if you're importing a character. Caed Nua Security/Prestige levels, endgame wealth, the state of the Dyrwood government, how you resolved certain quests, your Act 2 faction alliance, rulership style based on reputations, etc.
I like the way your think, friendo.

So, if my memory is correct, 3 to 5 years have passed sense the events of Pillars of Eternity 1 by the time Pillars of Eternity 2 begins.
Question of the hour is, what has the Watcher been up to?
Adventuring?
Relaxing?
Dealing with politics?Raising their kidnapped child (if they took it, anyway)
It would be interesting if we could chose what s/he has be been doing. Maybe get some sort of small bonus similar to picking our place of origin in Pillars of Eternity 1

More gun options might be cool.

How about a really strong character can use a cannon as a gun -
I had a thought
I hope this doesn't sound ****-ish
Maybe like, in game, on the Black Isle Bastard ship, there could be a list of 'Bastards Come and Gone'
and you could use the names of everyone who helped fund the Bastards.
Just a thought.

I'd like more 'older guy' portraits

If I have learned anything about crowd funded games that make a ton of money, they end up getting delayed a lot further than their original planned release date. Which is a good thing, mind you! It means the devs have more time to put in all the extra stretch goal content.
I could be wrong, and Obsidian will have it all said and done by Q1 2018. But I won't bet on it.

Just out of curiosity, how much of a say do you get in the overall design of the BIBs?

Blade of the First Bastard
"Many years ago, a noblemen sired a son with his mistress, and upon discovering her pregnancy, disowned the woman and her unborn child. As the years went by, the boy grew to be a thief, a crook, and a general menace to society as a whole. Upon the death of his mother he learned the truth of his lineage from her will, and went out in search of his father. When he found his father and was prompted turned away, he struck his father down with an ornate, obsidian long sword that hung on a nearby wall. The boy fled, sword still in hand, and stole a ship that belonged to his father. Over the years this bastard would find others like him, children disowned by noble families; and together they would form the Black Isle Bastards. A crew of cut throat pirates that ransacked the ships of nobles all across the seas. Although the first Bastard eventually passed, his legends, and his crew would live on. This sword hung in the captains quarters for many years before it was passed onto you, the Watcher."
Not a very good story, and kinda long. But I've had that sitting in my head for a while and thought someone here might get a kick out of it.
I left out any real names or places, just in case Fluffy Senpai notices me.

I'm pretty hyped for the Black Isle Bastards and their Obsidian weapon.

So, suppose we reach the Create an Item goal, what did you have in mind, Captain Fluffy, if anything. I know obsidian has final say, but you are the Captain of this crew of bastards, so I'm curious as to your thoughts.

I really like the concept of an obsidian bastard sword even if it's completely unworkable in real life. If that's not doable then maybe a ring or some other sort of jewelry made out of obsidian.
Who needs realism when you have COOLism.

Magrans flaming ****!
In the back of my head I was worried we wouldn't make it. But we are so close!
I wish I could spare some more, but alas, money is to tight. Such is the life of
On that note, I do have a question.
What will the actually crew of the Black Bastards be like?
(Sorry if this has already been stated, 25 pages is a lot to read!) -
I think it might be RNG related. Some times the Dice Gods just aren't kind, ya know?
-
If you changed classes, recognition of this change. Like if the PC went from Cipher to Wizard, Eder might comment on their mind powers powers being gone or Aloth being surprised the PC os using a grimore. Just fluff but would be fairly interesting.
Recovery of special spells, like Concelhaut's Draining missles.
Pallengia romance narrated by Josh Sawyer and the Joshengia portrait.
Talents and spells for warrior wizards, like +×% damage after hitting with a spell and a spell that adds properties to weapons instead of conjuring new ones.
Better idea: Joshengina is Pellanginas long lost twin brother.

Funny that you mention a kraken. Because I made a map of my personal vision of a Black Isle (note: it's just a fantasy map, it will not be the actual Black Isle). There is a place called "Kraken Bay" and I asked a friend to draw a kraken for that! And he just sent me his drawing, right a few minutes after you posted.
My old map:
And here comes the kraken!
All credits for this kraken go to lolien on the Beamdog forum!
So, here's the updated map:
So yeah, Kraken Bay, has a new inhabitant and I strongly advise AGAINST swimming there, or sailing there...
Here it possible that map you totally appear on the BIBs ship, and when the Watcher asks about it, the captain is like 'oh. Yeah one of the boys drew that a while back. Out 'dream Island'. Didn't uh... Didn't work out in the end."

I must have spent half an hour debating who I would pick.
In the end I went with Hylea because it seemed like the right thing to do for my super good Watcher. (who also lied to people a lot)
In my eyes it seemed like a win/win for Hylea AND BerathThe still living Hollowborn will become real children, parents who lost their children get twins with the soul that would have went into their Hollowborn child
and all the left over souls go back into the Wheel.
However, given what I know, I think the giving the power to the people of the Dyrwud (Galawain/Abydon/Mogran) so that they can have the will to live again is a great choice.

So, anyway who has played the entirety of Pillars of Eternity 1 knows that by the end of the game you have some pretty serious weapons and armor on hand. Especially if you played White March.
The question of the hour is, what will become of some of these items?
The Hammer of Abydon especially because this weapon was very important.
I would hope that we either get this items back at some point, and not that 'oh they were destroyed with your strong hold'
That'd be kind of a lame excuse.
Not to mention, if returning companions had Soulbound items, will they still have them?
That would be a nice bonus.
On the topic of the Hammer of Abydon, and the end of The White March Part 1, Do you think the Church of Abydon might view your character as some sort of Saint like figure if you restore Abydon.

Have an option to romance the Grieving Mother, and your companions will start making fun of you for having an imaginary girlfriend. :D
Shes not 'imaginary', they just see her in as a useless peasant women. Memory is a bit fuzzy but I remember Eder being like 'you mean the old lady? Don't know why you have her following us around but whatever' when you ask him about her.
Either way, it'd be funny.

Billion Dollar Idea: your character takes some weird drugs, and starts having weird hallucinations and sees "Joshugina" and your character freaks out.
"Who are you?
"Huh? Me? I'm Josh."
"Where is Pallegnia?"
"She's here. In my head. Or am I in hers?"
"What?"
"I am her father."
And then your character passes out

Does anyone know when these will be arriving?
I haven't been able to find anything saying when.
Then again, maybe I didn't look hard enough.
