I'm just adding something... I have seen a few grammatical errors in the tool tips, it just seems a bit unprofessional. If I ever sent an email at work without spellchecking I'd get berated. But overall, the game has been a pretty solid improvement over the first.

Yeah Or the Xaurip you can get as a crew member, crew members should be upgraded to sidekicks. It seems to make sense, i'm paying them anyway! At least the younger/stronger ones.

I'd say it's something like... They don't allow you to eat food you brought from outside. You must eat the food they serve. It's a policy in all taversn and inns. I assume the bonus you get from the inn comes from both resting in an eat and eating the food there (food is included with your board), and since you can only eat one meal per rest then it takes precedence over any food you bring with you.

Yes it can be in the way when you want some precise clicking, but overall I really like it. It should be retroactively added to all the IE games. Beamdog missed a trick not doing it in the so called 'enhanced editions'.

I think it would be cool to have some of the crew members as sidekick type party members, instead of the sidekicks. The one's who are young-ish and able to fight should be able to join you on adventuring.

I don't think these are spoilers. What is the difference between the Principi, Royal Deadfire Company and Vailian trading company? There have been a few quests which mention all these extensively and I am getting a bit confused as to who is who... I met Pallegina and she basically told me where to go when I asked her to join me, is that it, can I never get her in my party?

I have only been on a few hours but the changes to the camera are probably my favourite thing. I would have loved that in BG1/2.

Less is more! Define 'coolness' by the way. It's doesn't really mean anything saying 'because it's cool', 'coolness'. I'm not having a go at you but it seems to be used as a reason quite a lot. 'Because it's cool'.

I haven't heard any Yorkshiremen yet, I won't be happy until I do! Where are the Geordies as well? Obsidian are obviously racist against northerners.

I like his voice, but it seems to switch between ****ney and Australian! I mean the voice doesn't suit an orlan whatsoever but it sounds badass at the same time. It has my stamp of approval!

I much prefer this slower speed of the combat. Hits actually feel like they have some weight to them. I agree about the intro being way too long, it just dumps a load of words at you what don't really mean anything if you're a first time player. Then you spend ages waiting to get to character creation... it's Dark Souls 2 all over again!

Why are there so many portraits of 12 year old looking girls?!?! You sickos!

2 and a half hours left at work then can finally play more than 40 stinking minutes. GAHHHHHHH!

There is, but if you haven't played Pillars already, you can't know what it is that you're choosing. Who's this? What's that? Why did I had to do this? etc It's just choices no backstory of what's happening. Even I that have played Pillars and tried the history maker had to open the wiki to remind myself of some people and places. Imagine one that has no idea of Pillars whatsoever. Anyway, the feature is cool, of course, and helps a lot, but even if you make all those choices, if you haven't played Pillars so to experience each one and know who all these people are adn what their actions did, you'll encounter the outcomes in Deadfire but won't mean anything to you. That's why I suggest and recomend a full Pillars playthrough before Deadfire. I'm sure, though, that Deadfire is good enough to grip you by its own, for what it is. Good point, I was thinking that when I was doing it. It was a good thing I understood everything it asked me a new player would have no chance. But I suppose that's why there's like 6 or 7 premade backgrounds.

I used the history creator thing, seems alright. There's quite a lot of stuff to choose from.

I had 40 mins to play this morning before work dammit, just enough time to make my character. 8 hours to suffer at work now...! I wasn't even planning on buying it on launch but I caved.. I CAVED!

Can you dumb it down a bit me still no understand... so how can a character get knocked down? Banana skins on the battlefield?

If you are English you have to tell them you have Diarrhea, if you are European just say a semi distant family member has died. Not sure what the American excuse is.

As it stands, is the gameplay you've witnessed better than POE1?

I am going to ring your HR department and tell them you are blobbing!

In the greater sort of, view of the game... does this mean they spread themselves too thin? Surely they should cut the features down and try finish the ones they have rather than add more and leave them unfinished?

Lovely haiku!

Soz then, no need to be like THAT!

Yeah it's good, reminds me more of LOTR. Definitely has a vibe of adventure. Which I hope the game is all about!

Single class Fighter, always play that. Is it boring? Maybe... but I just like having my character a regular adventurer type guy with no magic or anything.
