Does Deadfire Have the Best Stealth Mechanics in a CRPG?
Juodas Varnas replied to Jayngo's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Eh, it might be the best. Simple but functional. But that's probably only because the stealth in every other cRPG i've played is beyond dreadful, if they even exist in the first place.

Rogues need way more utility
Juodas Varnas replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I played a Trickster rogue and it was pretty fun with the few Illusion spells, smoke bombs, the escapes and pommel-strikes

Why are half the companions trying to get in my pants?
Juodas Varnas replied to daven's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Except romance can be quite endearing when done right. You don't need multiple entries, or sequels, to create meaningful romance. Some of my favorite romances come from dragon age origins. It's just here, the devs didn't have the talent to make good romance. In which case, they should have instead not opted for romance. So maybe it's a bit short and not that well written for the characters. I still find it entertaining to have Hylea as a wingman Honestly, Hylea is adorable. You should be able to romance her instead.

Juodas Varnas replied to daven's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Lack of chemistry really is terrible. That's what happens when you replace scientifically legitimate chemistry with mystical mumbo-jumbo alchemy!

Companions and Romance
Juodas Varnas replied to InsaneCommander's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Just grab Pallegina and somebody with high religion, go to one of those shrines littered across Deadfire (on Neketaka island, for example), identify the shrine and pray several times - it greatly pisses Pallegina off, so you'll get -2 quickly with her. Honestly, do those shrines even do anything? Apart from desecrating them for a fight?

Has anyone found an eyepatch?

Juodas Varnas replied to Eirin's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Human. Cause i'm boring.

Companion/Sidekick impressions
Juodas Varnas replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Honestly, late-game, only use i found for Xoti was using that spell (forgot the name for it) that destroys all spirits and vessels that are lower level than you and deals massive raw damage to any that are higher or the same level

Valera or Bardatto?

Barb/Skald worked really nice for me with Barbaric Blow dealing extra crits and those crits giving me more Invocations is very nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j9QeUoPOi4- Does Eder have to use a Shield to be a Riposte Rogue?
Daggers are pretty decent with their modal that gives 10 deflection. I used it as my Trickster (alongside Modwyr) and it was pretty great, but Trickster also got mirrored image spell which adds another 30 deflection (and being a single-class rogue, i had gotten Wall of Flashing Steel as well), so.... Yeah... But i could see one using a small shield with sword and shield specialization as a Riposte Swashbuckler (and the small shields are basically bucklers in this game, so that's great for a pun).- Empowered Woedica
Juodas Varnas replied to Sceptenar's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Honestly? Just having her visual depiction change to have a fully restored crown would've been enough for me.- Does Eder have a...
Juodas Varnas replied to Melusina's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)And until you do, we'll just assume you're bad at reading comprehension- Companion/Sidekick impressions
Juodas Varnas replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Maia is the best of the new companions definitely. I did manage to keep her by going Aeldys' pirates route, but damn Maia's personal quest ****ed up my ending slides so hard, that's what i get for being too good at diplomacy.- Does Eder have a...
Juodas Varnas replied to Melusina's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Uh... I think it's him thanking for SAVING his life, by preventing him from drinking the kool-aid. No, because he specifically chastises Eder (and possibly the Watcher) for saving him and complains that he now has no purpose and nothing here to live for. My quest journal entry: Bearn consumed poison in front of us, but we were fortunately able to resuscitate him. He's survived the ordeal, though he doesn't appear to be convinced it was for the best. At least for me, he was absolutely not thankful for being saved. Well, i convinced him to not drink the Kool aid in the first place, instead of resuscitating him afterwards.- Please tell me that Durance is going to be in the DLC
Juodas Varnas replied to spardeous's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Pretty much the gods that are part of Galawain-Magran happy club are the "Kith should grow and become stronger on their own." club. Maneha is actually in the game too. She's in the Durrange's Tavern, but you can't really speak with her. Just gives a single line when you click her (not even actual dialogue) Really kinda disappointing. Though not as disappointing as finding Devil of Caroc's torso being sold as bloody armor (in which description it says that she was torn apart, even though i had gotten the other ending for her in my game, so whatever???)- Does Eder have a...

Juodas Varnas replied to Melusina's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Is he? I remember in the dialogue with Bearn, him mentioning that he KNEW his father, which sort of makes Edér out of the question, since he only learned of his existence from the Priestess in Gaun's Temple- Please tell me that Durance is going to be in the DLC
Juodas Varnas replied to spardeous's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I was so disappointed when i couldn't tell Magran "oh, Durance hasn't killed you yet?"- Companion/Sidekick impressions
Juodas Varnas replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Only basically? I tried to make a joke and she went on a 5 minute rant yelling in Vaillian before storming off! And when she finally joined up, she basically went "i'm only here because the Ducs wanted me to come" and i was not able to increase her relationship above 0 the entire campaign. She really didn't like me, for some reason.- Wizards...butchered.
Juodas Varnas replied to Hebruixe's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Pffff, i did swap Grimoires in PoE1, in case i found one that looked better or had a cooler name, like the Black Pages or whatnot.- Portraits II
Juodas Varnas replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Huh, you can probably re-use the original watercolors since the edit isn't very significant (looks great though)- Old City - did i screw myself?
Juodas Varnas replied to RevBlue's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Is the lift gone? If you haven't spend too much time down there, you might still be able to leave with it. I think the overseer says the lift should stay for 12 hours. Other than that, you'll probably won't be able to get out without going through the pirates, sadly.- Why are half the companions trying to get in my pants?
