What I heard was "dhow", although it looks very large for such a craft. Maybe it's just a "we need size X to allow for boarding combat" type of thing? A dhow would make sense. Given that Rauatai has Polynesian and Asian influences and the Huana have similar influences, they'd have ships which are more Polynesian/Asian based rather than European.

Maybe a schooner or a carrack or a brigantine or one of those slim and fast ship types.

I know there are skinny ships, was just hard to get the scale of that one.

As for the gif, theres no sound associated with it. He does that 'current mood' stuff on occasion. I guess just frustrated, tired, and tired eyes, dunno. re instagram video: Is it me or does that ship look way too narrow for it's length? It should be like double that width.

To be fair, the devs don't want to reveal too much.

The expansion should be releasing sometime tomorrow morning. Steam page says about 19 hours, so, 6 am PDT tomorrow morning at least.

Wizards having more than three is definetly new, at least to me and pretty sure most of the rest of the forum. I get why Paladins and Priests have multiple so as to accommodate the gods and orders, but not really seeing it for wizard. In PoE1, there are the archwizards and their followers and adherents, but there isn't anything that could be called a 'school' of magic or elemental magic. Unless there's a bunch of isolated schools of magic in the Deadfire which you could join. I guess we might find out with the update on multiclassing and subclasses.

It would be explained simply by the devs not taking into account Ondra and Abydon's reactions in White March when you talk to the various gods in the Council of Stars. It's a problem with an expansion inserting itself midway into the game with little interaction with the rest of the game. If you wanted a lore based explaination, I don't think there is one.

It's photon torpedo in Star Trek and proton torpedo in Star Wars. Oh my, oh dear... Lol, I swore that sometimes they are mislabelled as photon bombs/torpedoes, but I wasn't sure where, so I didn't mention it. I guess it's either a typo that stuck or they had to avoid Lucasarts copyrights or something. Were they present in TOS or is it just a TNG (and onward) thing? edit: Odd, your post didn't embed the link, yet quoting it made it embed.

Priest/Paladin multiclassing may be something that they'll go over when they do the update about multiclassing and subclasses since how that will work hasn't been gone over yet by the devs. The problem of outright blocking priest/paladin builds that conflict with each other is that a few of them get shafted hard and several only have a few options, which is something that the devs probably don't want to do. So, we'll have to see how it gets dealt with.

I'm not afraid of the hurricane (mainly because I live in California), it's the debt ceiling stuff that worries me because Congress keeps playng chicken with it. Still, the fact is, Congress DOES have a very busy schedule this month.

And they have PLENTY to do, on top of the other must pass stuff that they have, there's the Harvey disaster relief, funding the government, avoiding the debt ceiling (which even Trump appears to agree is a bad thing to go default), starting work on the tax stuff..... And there's another hurricane barreling down the Carribean with an unknown future impact on the US, but it WILL hit the US somewhere.

You can definetly make that combination, whether or not you'll be able to change the label of the multiclass combo for your PC is unknown at this point. They've also mentioned the Shattered Pillar monk subclass in the last Q&A. For it, wound generation is tied to damage that they inflict on enemies, but the threshold for wound generation is higher and the maximum number of wounds that they can sustain is lower. It seems like it might blend well with cipher since they'd be able to double dip on resource generation through the same actions. Oh yeah, forgot about that one.

Oh yeah, you've forgotten antimatter bombs up there. Both that and proton bombs (proton torpedoes in the Star Trek universe) are staples of science fiction.

I wasn't even being serious with the ignorance. It was also partially a jab at Wikipedia.

Theres even some prejudice among Orlans between the Hearth and Wild Orlans (some of it may be cultural friction), as Hiravias attests to from his own experience. Though being a runt certainly didn't help. And yeah, Eder contrasts to some other figures in Defiance Bay and in Stalwart in that those seem to be downright irritated at Orlans, almost hostile. So, it'll be interesting how that all plays out in Eders character growth.

well, there is a-bombs and h-bombs and e-bombs. there is also ERW, o' which the neutron bomb is most well known. there is proton bombs, but only in the star wars universe. there is (not) the quark or meson bomb, which were nothing more than the us punking the soviets into wasting considerable effort on a developmental dead end. even so, and no offense to lady crimson, but if somebody could create a bomb which wiped out nothing but korean music and visual media sources in a +5 mile radius, am thinking such a feat would be deserving a nobel prize for physics, and perhaps the peace prize too. HA! Good Fun! This ERW? Heh. Evidently Wikipedia has no clue what you're talking about as far as ERW.

He doesn't seem to actually hate Orlans though, and gives no reaction to the watcher being Orlan if that's the case. I wonder how that'll play out in PoE2, if the watcher is Orlan.

Just how far it'll fall isn't particularily predictable, but what is predictable is that disrupting a region that is one of the worlds biggest economic and trade hubs is going to have a huge affect on the global economy.

What do you mean? The only Appleby I know of is a restraunt chain.

We don't know what the Canarsky (nice unofficial name I guess) project is though. Either Feargus or the other guy said it looked like Pillars or Tyranny stuff.

They've got all the basic types filled in, so, I'm not sure what new classes they'd add that wouldn't be a variant or cousin to one of the others. That said, the new subclasses and multiclass capability will open up loads of new builds.

For the Houston area, yes, and it's what experts call '500 year', but aren't really since it's a probability, not an actual historical once in 500 years.

Stuff like that could certainly be repurposed for other things. Heck, some volunteers were using monster trucks (the kind you usually see crushing old cars in shows) which are absolutely perfect for flood situations. As for the White House staff, Tillerson doesn't seem very competent, so, at least someone who knows how to structure a State Department properly. Three '500-year' floods in three years isn't 'once in a lifetime'.

I may have misunderstood the dynamics.
