Non-combat combat?
smjjames replied to Haran's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)You're probably thinking of the scripted CYOAs (Choose Your Own Adventure), there's going to be plenty of those.

A bit late to the party...
smjjames replied to Pallegina's Panties's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I suppose it also counts as pre-purchasing the game, right? I'm in. duh, of course it does. Still in though. Edit: How the heck do I find the zip code associated with the card? Never had to do that before, *grumble* *goes and looks at bank account*

Moar Godlikes!
smjjames replied to Pallegina's Panties's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)There's also Gramrfel the Wayfarer, that wierdo death godlike who can meet you at the crossroads of Magrans Fork after first visiting Defiance Bay. Also, I think one of this companions can also be a moon godlike, not sure. I looked at the godlike category on the PoE wiki and there are also two bounty targets who are godlikes. Apart from the bounties, yeah, that older drunk and Gramrfel the Wayfarer are the only non-backer godlike characters that I know of.

Moar Godlikes!
smjjames replied to Pallegina's Panties's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Nope. 11 deities, 11 godlike types possible only. But there will be no new godlikes in the game. Which god would the nature godlike be for though? Galawain has an association with nature, but that's just by dint of being the patron of carnivores. There isn't any deity that specifically represents nature. There has been some speculation that Takehu is actually a Galawain godlike, since there's already an Ondra godlike, the Moon godlike. That kind of customization would definetly be awesome, though no hint or word of that so far.

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers
smjjames replied to AndreaColombo's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Palleginas idle posture looks a lot like an 'about to draw sword' posture.

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers
smjjames replied to AndreaColombo's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Wasn't it pretty much assumed that Takehu woild have an unique shapeshift? After all, Hiravias did, even if it was just a recolor of the cat shapeshift. Though it'll definetly be something entirely different from the usual due to his unique.... situation.

Valian views on infertility.
Aren't her superors politicians? I'm not familiar with Dragon Age though, besides hearing of it.

Valian views on infertility.
I wouldn't say that their society has a propensity for laws and contracts, the only parts we saw were the politics side and trading (where you'd expect a propensity for laws and contracts), and little else. Vailian culture is going to have a MUCH larger presence in Neketaka (the de-facto capitol of the Deadfire) outside of politics and trade, so, we'll definetly see more aspects of Vailian culture.

Sounds exactly like what they're trying to do, remove all checks and balances to power.

Do we get to fight more Dragons?
smjjames replied to Flamenstein's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)As rjshae said, it's in Asian mythology and some works of fiction have that too. As do some games out there.

Do we get to fight more Dragons?
smjjames replied to Flamenstein's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I don't care much about killing them. Just encountering them. It could be interesting if we could ally with them, befriend them, decieve them, intimidate them, mess with their agenda etc. Just let them be some super powerful character without having to just kill them or walk away and never do anything else with them. Yeah, with the Adra dragon and the Sky dragon, at least theres a path that doesn't lead to fighting. I wish there was a way to not fight the Alpine dragon, but I guess he's too insane with his sickness to listen to reason. And that red dragon was all "NO! You gonna take my pretties! MY PRETTIES! MINE!" and we all know how dragons love their loot.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
- A few concerns and questions regarding the E3 video
smjjames replied to Chilledfish's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I was going to remark on the cats one (which did sound ridiculous), but figured you weren't being serious anyway.- Multi-classing - hopes, dreams, wild speculation
I'm thinking of doing a rogue/monk multiclass combo. Not sure what combination of skills, but there are a bunch which aren't dependent on on being unarmed which would definetly benefit rogue and I'm sure there are rogue skills that would benefit monk. Here's the concept that I made a few months ago with PoE2 in mind. Also, given how spiritshifted druids can only do 'unarmed', even if the spiritshift form has claws, I wonder how the spiritshift focused druid subclass will interface with monk.- Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
Nixon and his lawyers actually looked at that a couple days before he resigned and decided they couldn't.- +Mechanics Gloves - Where do they have a chance of dropping? [Minor Spoiler]
There is supposedly going to be a whole lot more unique items in PoE2, which will help some. I think anyway, it's rather ancedotial (not sure if the devs actually said that or not), so, don't take my word for it.- A few concerns and questions regarding the E3 video
smjjames replied to Chilledfish's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)DnD has infinite storage too, they're called 'bags of holding'.- A few concerns and questions regarding the E3 video
smjjames replied to Chilledfish's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Josh Sawyer did say in the July 12th twitch Q&A that there were still some issues going on with the titan at the time and some things weren't implemented yet.- Five man party ? idk... let's discuss
smjjames replied to dam's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)To be honest, I have a feeling that if the three companions weren't returning, there wouldn't be quite as much complaint about it. Most of us are likely to play with those three in the first run, which is totally fine, however, in the E3 vid and some others, we've seen Maia be in the only other available slot. So, doing it without a dedicated healer should stil be viable. Besides, you have the multiclassing and Paladins already have some team healing abilities.- Main talker
Your main talker is ALWAYS your main character, no matter what. As for the mechanics guy, I've had Aloth and Durance be the mechanics specialists in separate plays.- P.o.E. II: Importing P.o.E. Save File: Bound Legendary Weapons
I think that's the explaination already given. Pretty much everybody has pointed that out with the fact that the companions would have to be explained away as being at level 1 rather than 16. As for the weapon, that would work as an explaination.- Valian views on infertility.
I suspect that it has more to do with the godlike status and less to do with biological sex or infertility. Her mention of it is also the only mention of it I believe. It does open up some cultural and legal repercussions, yeah, though I don't expect the Obsidian team to spend a huge amount of time dwelling on the legal fine print of the culture while culture-crafting. Given how the Vailians have a very significant presence in the Deadfire, we might see more references to it.- Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
He's going to be hugely popular with the Trump supporters. No doubt about his public speaking abilities. Spicer was like a pinwheel that you could tell which direction he was spinning. I fear mucci you'll know everything is being spun bit it's hard to tell which way, without the proper knowledge of the subject. He's gonna peddle a lot of bull****, I can see it now. Sarah H. Sanders is going to be the WH Press Secretary though, not Scaramucci.- Cloaks and Pendants
smjjames replied to sepulsolja's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think you're overthinking it there rjshae.- Cloaks and Pendants
smjjames replied to sepulsolja's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Oh, didn't know that about the buffs, thanks. Sounds a bit more intuitive to me compared to the current system. - A few concerns and questions regarding the E3 video
