DLC survey
daven replied to PangaeaACDC's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
It depends what season pass contains. Usually you simply preorder all the DLC for the game. I rarely get them as they are a bad deal - after all you pay for a content you dont know if you will like for a game you didn't play yet. Usually it gives you all post release content, unless game has a very lengthy support or releases a big meaty expansion (like War of the Chosen for XCOM2). Isn't it possible there will be no DLC at all? Seems a bit dodgy to me. -
DLC survey

Never purchased a season pass, not entirely sure what it even is. A lot of games seem to advertise it on Steam. All I know is when you get a season ticket for a football team you get to go to every home game for 1 season. Do you only get the DLC released for 1 year after buying the pass? -
Yes, what the hell? Aloth just tells you his entire life story within moments of meeting. A slight change could have made it much better, he should have invited you in the pub for a drink after saving his arse. Then after having a few beers he divulges his life story and you decide to travel together. But instead you're just stood on the side of a street and within a few seconds he follows you for eternity.

Same. You join up with them whilst working on the same quest but when that's done they leave to carry on with their lives rather than immediately dropping everything to join you. I understand why this wouldn't be popular in this sort of game, but I'd quite like it. Dragon Age 2 did something like that. Your companions were scattered here amd there in the city and, when not adventureing with you, they did their own things, some of them would interfere with the main story, some would be quests for you to help them if you'd wish and other would resolve to a relaxing conversation and asking your oppinion about how to handle or how do you think they handled their personal problem. Ithink it was the only good thing in DA2 Now this (Wormerine's) is a new idea, a very interesting one, imo, but it might be better for a more single-person oriented rpg, were your would not need to plan a party composition in order to play through. I actually think Dragon Age 2 is a good game, sarcastic Hawke is so awesome that it doesn't matter it's all set in about 3 locations. The companion stuff in DA2 is pretty good, just hanging about the pub and trying to get Aveline on a date.

Sidekicks stories
daven replied to Seafarer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Yeah that's a good point. People on here like to get a bit too excited, hoping for the greatest game that ever was and all that. -
I hoped the Stronghold in the first game was more like Suikoden. But it pretty much would have had to be the main part of the game. I'm not too bothered about non linearity, having a more focused story is usually more interesting to me. Baldur's Gate 2 was probably too open at the start, could have done with gating some stuff off I reckon.

Since companies don't provide us with free demos these days, a few watches of different "let's play" youtube videos are highly recommended before any buy, imo. Personally, after withstanding the camera of NW2, the worst camera ever, imo, and that of DA:I, I had no problem with DOS2's camera, which I don't find any bad at all actually. OK good point, NWN 2's camera is horrendous. How did they release the final game in that state?! And it's never been fixed! I shall attempt to try it again, maybe it just requires some getting used to.
