[How are the factions?]

I for one love how every faction is pretty much made out of ****. It very much reminds me of New Vegas without the Yes Man loophole. Sure you can go independent but it ****s up the deadfire in the process.

[Bug? Siding with Aedlys ends the Principi questline]

So I've reached the point where I've sided with Aedlys and betrayed Furrante, then claimed the floating hangman. I've heard others say that there should be a final mission where you are supposed to attack Kahanga palace but I've never received it, instead I'm simply told that the fleet waits to attack Ukaizo. I also have not received the achievement for siding with the principi after completing the game.

 

Has anyone had a similar or different experience?

[Definitive FAQ on Beraths Blessings]

Thanks for that! Does anyone know what the benefits of being an expert rank captain is?

[Can you hide pets?]

This is heresy.

[How are the factions?]

Depends on your values.

 

Huana - Traditionalist, rigid, naturalistic, best de jure claim to the deadfire

Royal Deadfire company - imperialistic, nationalistic, progressive, intrusive

Valian - Mercantile, less aggressively colonial than the royal deadfire company, slower and longer term plan, seems to suffer alot of in-fighitng and individual incompetence

Principi -PIRATES!

 

Obviously PIRATES! are the best.

[What class(s) are you planning making your first character and why?]

Witch - cipher/barb

 

I've always built my watcher to be one even in poe1, both mechanically (big focus on melee, just stuck to a few key cipher powers) and in terms of roleplay. Now the game properly supports it :D

[What multiclasses have you played with so far?]

More efficient at tanking? Or what do you mean?

Well, by multiclassing into swashbuckler, he's going to be losing some survivability, so I'm just wondering if there are any rogue abilities that would benefit a tank and make up for the loss of hp in general.

[What multiclasses have you played with so far?]

If I'm building eder as a tank, would a swashbuckler be more efficient than single class fighter?

[What are the best builds for companions?]

My planned party atm

 

PC - berserker/soulblade - dps

Xoti - priest - heal and buff bot

Eder - fighter or fighter/rogue (which one is more efficient?) - tank

Aloth - wizard - dps and cc

Maia Rua - ranger/rogue - dps 

[Your Tiers List [Base Classes, Subclasses]]

Such a shame, thanks though, might consider going devoted/cipher instead, my main's a cipher atm, but my playstyle tends to revolve around mental binding and auto attacking (seeing as I didn't get much mileage out of the top tier abilities in the first game) so I've looking at frontline/dps options to round him out.

[Your Tiers List [Base Classes, Subclasses]]

Has anyone been able to ascertain if soulblade/berserker is any good? At least as a pure dps character?
