Your Tiers List [Base Classes, Subclasses]
PatrioticChief replied to theBalthazar's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
It’s primary attack, so only mainhand. Dang. Somewhat annoying but at least it gives a reason for a 2h character. I do not see much of a point right now. -
I really dislike ship-to-ship combat
PatrioticChief replied to katie's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
Good idea. Anyways, still fairly stoked for ships. I think it's a great idea and the execution seems pretty solid so far. -
Beta IV - General Feedback [The Good // The Bad]
PatrioticChief replied to DexGames's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
Anyone else hate that slots for cypher abilities appear even if you haven't selected a single ability for that level? It just clogs up the UI. Waving over it, having nothing there, and faded text on the side not in the box, it looks almost like a bug its so ugly. -

I wouldn't hold my breath on that even if you are right.

Portraits
PatrioticChief replied to iscalio's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I did some recoloring but I agree that it would look better as pale elf, the original is too gray. Proper elf ears are required though. Looks freaking awesome! Thanks. -
Character Creation: Still Kinda Not Great
PatrioticChief replied to Tamerlane's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
I recall the same problem when creating an assassin - no mention of exact numbers nor for the bonus nor for the penalty. You can only see those numbers when you've already made a character and found those passives in your character sheet. Other classes have the same problem. I also don't like that if I'm already at the end of character creation in customization and then want to change something in the beginning, like sex or race, I have to backtrack through all the screens in the middle along with the warning message about multiclassing to get to the beginning. Why aren't these clickable? Oh yeah that is a good point. I found that annoying as well. -

I dunno, these look too sharp and...on the side? Would you mind just doing a water color of the original? I think it looks pretty cool even without elf ears. -

Strong agreement for your first sentence. -
Character Creation: Still Kinda Not Great
PatrioticChief replied to Tamerlane's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
My biggest issue, and it's a systemic issue in the game it feels like sometimes, is the lack of information. Helwalker gives me increased damage in exchange for taking more damage? Sounds fun! How much? Oh it doesn't say. Oh I've created my character. Oh it's 5X the amount? Jesus Christ. Now I have to roll an entirely new character. I just don't understand why they cannot take the time to explain the mechanics at work. It's very frustrating.- 26 replies

I thought this looked pretty badass. -

Sneak applies to wizard spells right? Also Bleaker walker/devoted dual wield is a hell of a lot of fun. Soloed the entire starting island. I had planned to do a devoted/soul blade but I hate having a dump stat and I think the cypher UI is super ugly if you don’t take any spells. -
Let's gather feedback for AI customization here

Hey thanks man! I can't wait till I get all my quick cast self buffs down correctly. Gonna be a lot more fun now worrying about them and just focusing on casting the big stuff. -
Beta IV - General Feedback [The Good // The Bad]
PatrioticChief replied to DexGames's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
I still think the lack of early game passives for some classes is very annoying. Especially fighter. Fanatic (bleak walker/beserker) build is loads of fun though. Experimented with that today. No dumps either. -
Portraits
PatrioticChief replied to iscalio's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
What were the portraits that you used for their bodies? I think this will look better if I cut and paste the official watercolored heads and just work with the bodies. Ocean folk here's from PoE directory folder, two others are Jason Seow's work First one is great. Second two are kind of ugly but I like the art style. Very detailed. -

I only work with what you give me I think they look good. Thanks man. -
This is the number one thing, and frankly the only meaningful thing, that has detracted from my leveling experience in the beta so far. I LOVE having to choose between multiple powerful abilities at the higher PL. I HATE choosing between two less bad passive/abilities early in the game. For some of my builds this is not the case but as I've been trying out combination of different characters I consistently find myself with at least one dump ability/passive per a build. I find this almost always occurs within the 2 and 3 PL's. Is moving tough to PL 3 instead of PL 5 going to break the balance? Of course not. But it would at least feel like a more meaningful than taking stride on a Fighter or Rogue who have tons of options to close the distance between themselves and others. I really think the passives or abilities should be moved around to make for fewer dumps on different builds. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same feeling?

PatrioticChief replied to Doppelschwert's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
For me it is a must have in terms of self-buffing. Going through .5 second casts every skirmish is a massive headache and turns me off of those builds. I want to cast leaps, fireballs, and crippling debuffs. I do think some more conditionals need to be added to keep some abilities from spamming out unnecessarily. -
Character Customization Options
PatrioticChief replied to Chenngis's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
Wish we could control eye color. That part is a drag.
