Hiding Hats
anathanielh replied to Morrowsong's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I’ve never seen consumers so deadset on being anti-consumer. Especially with a feature that can be completely ignored and doesn’t affect them in any way... Why wouldn’t you want an option to hide your helmet when it’s purely up to you whether you want to do it or not. It’s not dark souls...

Firearms and AOE friendly fire
anathanielh replied to kingblah's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Bounces always go to enemies (unless it’s a spell that’s reflected but that’s different or your character is confused/charmed/dominated and they can attack allies). With explosive shot from stuff like serafen’s blunderbuss at the start of the game, that’s foe only. (You can see a yellow circle when highlighting enemies). If it were a red circle, then it would hit allies as well. The blunderbuss modal aoe is the only one that doesn’t really explicitly say what the aoe hits. (It hits the target and everybody around it including allies)

Mh Pistol + Oh sword = Dual wield? or Single handed style?
anathanielh replied to floydstash's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It’s dual wield and the weapons benefit from dual wield attack speed bonus. At range you fire the gun, in melee you swing the sword. I used this build for my first character. The pistol/pistol build has a high burst at the start of the fight (2 shots right after the other) but after that they just fire and reload one at a time. It also benefits fully from full attack skills like flames of devotion, making them even stronger. Pistol/sword is better if you just don’t want to switch weapons and it also makes it so that you can use a certain powerful weapon while still benefitting from dual wield speed. (For example, instead of using a fine sword and a regular sword together and having them switch every hit, it can use a fine sword and regular pistol and only the fine sword would be used in melee with the bonus attack speed from dual wield). Keep in mind that you won’t benefit fully from full attack skills since you’ll only use one weapon at a time. (Primary attack skills better with this build) Also a certain weapon set is made with this build in mind. (Won’t list it here for sake of spoilers)

Which sidekick would you most want to see become a full companion in a future Pillars game or DLC?
anathanielh replied to hamskii's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Fassina, Rekke, or Ydwin. I lean more towards Fassina because you get to interact with her the most out of all the sidekicks from what I’ve experienced, so I have more of a grasp on her personality

How did chill fog make it into this game?
anathanielh replied to gristlethick's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It’s a great spell but I stopped using it once I got miasma of dullmindedness. Chill Fog always ****s over all my guys faster han the enemy because eventually I have to wade through it and freeze my b r e a s t s off to get to the backline.

Favorite and least favorite companions + sidekicks
anathanielh replied to Heijoushin's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think we should all rate these characters on how efficiently they help run our junks. A good crew makes all the difference ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Romance & Companions wishes (NON-SPOILERS)
anathanielh replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)@anathanielh, several threads on the same topic or companion romance/sex and like/dislike or wished were merged into the existing thread during a forum cleanup. Oh well. The reason I kept my thread separate was to distance it from the arguments about other games and keep it civil and about PoE2. I understand though.

Same inspirations from different spells.
anathanielh replied to Malorne's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The duration would just get refreshed (if the new duration is longer than however much time is left for your buff) If you’re playing berzerker and you get hardy from frenzy, then fit is upgraded to hardy and once again the duraion is refreshed. So you’d just get 5 constitution

People’s thoughts on a Character
What are people’s thoughts on Sir Athen’s personality? I personally find him quite enjoyable though he is a bit of an ****. His constant quips and burns keep me happy and always make the adventure better. Please be civil and do not mention a character’s real name or physical traits for the sake of spoiler-free goodness.

Are Hats Still Banned?
anathanielh replied to ThacoBell's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Don't the flames on a firegodlike explicitly not burn? As for everything else, I'm sure even a mediocra hatter could make something that would fit. Still, good to know. Thanks for the answers. If they didn’t burn it wouldn’t make sense that you could light braziers with it.

Obsidian has fetish for nude blue orlan drunk pirate! Well that’s just a bug that’s gonna be fixed, so as much fanart is gonna come out of it, it’ll be fixed. Still waiting for that fanart ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Romance & Companions wishes (NON-SPOILERS)
anathanielh replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Aside from the companions (I agree it's too easy to make them like you so it may seem like they all want to eat you out), most of the sex talk is done for comedic effect or makes sense in the situation (ie a brothel or bathhouse). The only nude models I've seen are in the bathhouse, where it makes absolute sense for people to be naked. Also I don't believe genitals are showed either if people have problems with those.

Romance & Companions wishes (NON-SPOILERS)
anathanielh replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I was debating whether I should put it here, but I don’t really think it spoils anything that happens to her in this game. If it does bother enough people, I’ll ask for it to be moved, though.Also ill change the title for you

What Ranger animal companion did you choose?

What Ranger animal companion did you choose?
anathanielh replied to Cylion's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Inanimate object pets would be cool. It was already shown in game that animancy could allow for souls to be placed in objects, so why not lil golem pals. or maybe a floating fork

The Good and the Unfortunately Very Bad of POE2: a review NO SPOILERS
anathanielh replied to smokeBomb's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)This thread is semi-enjoyable but it just makes me flaccid, dude. I just wanna have a good time. Reminds me of the “player sexual companion” thread but thankfully not as off-topic. Honestly, if OP doesn’t like the women in this game because they aren’t like women in his area, that’s fine. I don’t agree with it in the slightest, but it’s fine. What i can say doesn’t make sense is OP’s statement about the game imitating reality because it’s more “mature”. The thought that this fantasy game with magic, dragons, Eothas statues with probably huge junks, and elves/orlans/aumaua/etc. is trying to be realistic is absolutely deluded to me. Fantasy games can take inspiration from real life (like setting and weapons for example), but they’re definitely not obligated to model reality in any way. It’s the responsibility of the writers to define the rules and world of the game. If you want a history game, there are many elsewhere, but this isn’t it.
