Since Microsoft obtained Obsidian, does it mean they will only make console games from now on? Although Microsoft builds operating systems and software for pc; when it comes to games they ironically only care about Xbox. Guess 2019 will be a bad year for pc games. There are hardly any RPG coming out. We got a couple of shooters (Metro Exodus, Doom Eternal, Rage 2, Far Cry New Dawn ...) who all have worse A.I. and combat than the 2005 hit F.E.A.R. (my benchmark). It also looks these games more target kids than adults. They all look cheesy. I do have some hope for Control (from Remedy Entertainment). Max Payne was a masterpiece. Alan Wake was a disappointment though. (Went from an open world pc game to an xbox exclusive linear shooter)

Although I am Belgian myself, I couldn't get into either DOS or DOS 2. The major turn-off is the turn-based mode. I don't mind the turn-based nature of tabletop games with friends but I just can't stomach it in a pc game. It is really boring and static and it reminds me of colonial duals where each opponent takes a shot at each turn. I very much appreciate PoE 2 Deadfire having so well designed RTWP combat. Thank you so much Obsidian !!!

I played the original Pillars of Eternity last year (spring 2018) and I enjoyed it very much. It is a good game but to be honest I expected a little bit more. I was intrigued by the story but it could have been better. For me PoE felt very similar to BG1. Played it once but no intention to replay it again. Pillars 2 on the other hand, I do see myself playing that game multiple times. I only played up to the point where you reach Neketaka before the new academic year started. I very much enjoy the rtwp gameplay and love that all characters are voiced this time. (Also unlike many I dont have any problems whatsoever with the character of Xoti. She is a lovely addition to the game.) When I have some spare time, I will def take my time going through the game with Beast of Winter installed.

Will it be released on GOG?

I only dabbled into the starting island but I do seem to like the combat.

I found out the command to lock the zoom to a certain resolution. The command is SetZoomRange x y (where x and y are both floats and the min and max zoom range) and then press Enter But to my dismay, if you lock it at a high resolution, it doesnot keep that resolution in small indoor areas. Can this be fixed ?????????????????????????? I'll upload a picture. http://i68.tinypic.com/3451rnt.png

Sent a mail to support. Hugely disappointed.

It is not a major issue but it does take me out of the experience. I want the full BG experience without auto zooming all over the place. If the dev team could put an extra option in the options menu to not have automatic camera zooming but instead have a fixed fully zoomed out view, I'll buy all the DLC. The small house in Neketaka keeps you fully zoomed in without the option to zoom out. There is automatic zooming during certain events like the Pallid Knight talking to you in the intro.

The voice is from Kath Soucie who also voiced Aerie in Baldur's Gate 2.

I haven't touched the game myself since I am waiting for the first patch to hit GOG. So it seems the dungeons itself are very small. But are the dungeon areas a bit varied?

Tuesday was mentioned a couple of times but no clear set date was announced. Will this patch be readily available on GOG? Thanks in advance.

Thanks thraxx. This solved it.

Yeah I can enter the spiked room without a problem. I already figured out a solution to my problem. There seems to be a key in one of the lantern posts (which I first missed) that opens up a locked lantern post which holds another key. The latter key opens up all the doors on that level.

I hope this will gets fixed as soon as possible. I had to change my resolution of 1920x1080 downwards to make the game visible.

This floor contains locked doors that require a very high mechanical skill to unlock. None of my characters have what it takes to unlock those doors. I watched a playthrough and there seems to be a hidden key in a locked lantern post in the room with all the spikes. But once again my mechanics skill is not high enough to obtain that key. I guess I'll just quit the dungeon alltogether.

I have the very same issue with the gog version of the game. Black screen while I hear the background music playing. Windows 10 Home Intel® Core i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz 16 GB RAM

Single class characters all the way! I don't like the concept of multiclasses.

I'll play relaxed or classic mode the first time. I backed Deadfire without having played the original. Now that I finally got my hands on it, I am getting my butt kicked while playing on easy difficulty. Making a 6 th companion join my team surely helped in defeating Lord Raedric. The trash fights in open nature also don't feel so trashy to me. I have the feeling that PoE is harder than the first Baldur's Gate.

There was a major issue regarding the zooming feature in POE 1. If you were fully zoomed out and entered a small building it automatically zoomed in. You were not able to zoom out. That bugged me. How it should work? The zooming level should be kept when transitioning from outdoor to indoor areas. From fully zoomed out outdoors to fully zoomed out indoors. From fully zoomed in outdoors to fully zoomed in indoors. Thank you.

Indeed - I'm one of those backers. For some reason I haven't seen this thread while the campaign was still running - I never would have backed the physical version if I had known the disc would only contain a Steam installer. What's the point of a DVD if you have to be online to use it? If I wanted to have the Steam version I would have backed the Steam version... Please at least put the GOG versions for Linux, Mac and Windows on the disc - you can still tell people that they need to register their copy at GOG or Steam to get updates... I am the TC and that is what I hoped as well. Now the physical edition backers seem to get the digital GOG version as well. That is better than nothing.

I find it strange that this game as a rpg will have shipcrew management as a side game.
