I dread the thought, yet welcome the discussion of waifus as it concerns the game, at the very least.

I’ve already been doing so, but I’ve said what I did for the sake of hyperbole and good fun. Also might get people talking about other things for a bit, which is all fine and dandy. I know that this thread will carry on no matter what I do, so I may as well try to have fun with it no matter how much I’d prefer it’s nonexistence.

This thread was a deliberate Psyop by the members of this forum to drive you insane. But it all seriousness people are just shooting the breeze talking about an advertised mechanic (One the writers is expressing pride about it on Social Media) until the game comes out. It's not anymore complex than that. That's all well and good, but whenever I go to the forum for Deadfire Discussion and I see this thread still persisting it feels like I've stumbled into Tumblr.

In all honesty, though, people have stopped talking about the game a long time ago. Just take it to off-topic or somethig if you want to talk about sexuality and the like. You can sex anyone you want, but why u gotta talk about it here?

Day 362: The mods still do nothing to shut down this cesspool of a thread. I’ve been trapped here for too long and I’m ready to end it. To everybody who comes here after me, I sincerely hope you come to understand why this thread has devolved so. Good luck and godspeed. -A Weary Traveler *Gunshot and the thud of a former adventurer hitting the ground*

Where do you get this information? Pets serve different roles so I don’t think there is a “best” one. For example, bears are great tanks because of high armor, but wolves are great for extreme dps. Also pure ranger is fine. If you’re single class you get access to the entire skill tree, but multiclass allows for more variety, which I think is cool for rangers as they didn’t have too much variety in the 1st game.

Based on the skills and my experience in the first game, ranger is a fairly barebones class in terms of skill. I liked my melee ranger in the first game but it still didnt have much available to it. I’d say multiclass ranger all the way. (Pet and variety if skills at your disposal)

I can respect that. I know in some games I prefer a much more grounded character.

I’m still gonna stick with my multiclass melee ranger. Either scout (rogue trickster/ranger stalker) or hunter (standard fighter/ranger stalker). Leaning more toward rogue for the extra debuff and survivability illusion spells, but fighter seems fun too with the mule kick, charges, and such. I just like the idea of dashing through the battlefield with my pet friend. Also gonna dual wield sword/pistol for some fun rp.

Recommended stats are shown at char creation. Any class can use any weapon. Honestly, you shouldn’t try to find an “optimum build” before you play the game. Things have changed from the beta and in my opinion that’s a surefire way to suck the fun out of any game before it’s even out. Most if not all characters are viable and can get you through the game (even on potd). Just have fun.

I’m actually planning to play a melee scout so I can keep up with my pet and rush into battle with ‘im. I just like the idea of dashing around the battlefield. (I’ll also have trickster subclass for extra survivability and debuffs)

Weapons also have noise (guns are obviously very loud and bows quiet as you’ve said). Noise determines whether enemies a certain distance away from the attack will be attracted to it. An example of this is in the Backer update #46 where the team used sparkcrackers to lure enemies toward explosive barrels and subsequently blow them up. I don’t have access to the beta but I believe most melee weapons have around the same noise under normal circumstances. (Skills/spells could have a noise that makes attacks louder, though)

Only explanantion is dark magic preventing the watcher from making his journey any easier ir harder. Thaos’ true plan was to implement achievements to cause this!

You can switch difficulty between hard and below, but not to/from potd (at least in poe1 idk about deadfire) because it changed the stats and actual number of enemies you faced.

Edér was originally introduced as Edair the rogue in the original kickstarter, even. He got changed to fighter later in development. I think he actually went from fighter to rogue and back to fighter towards the end. I remember his Edair concept art having a sword n board.

I feel like I remember your name from a Retcon Raider video. (Darkest Dungeon maybe?) Am I wrong? The very same. I quite enjoy Retcon's videos. Nice to meet ya! Here's hoping your character lives another day.

I’m pretty sure it starts today at or around evening time. 8PM EST IIRC

Scout (Rogue-Trickster/Ranger-Stalker); I had a melee ranger in the first game and love the idea of rushing into combat with my animal buddy. Now I get to do the same here but with the added rogue and trickster abilities to make escape or engagement more fluid and interesting. Edit: After watching the char creation of the livestream, I may also do monk/ranger or fighter/ranger. SO MANY CHOICES

I see even you are capable of making that most classic mistake. You are applying logic, in an forum thread on the internet, on a niche website dedicated to a rules/mechanics heavy RPG. That blunder is only slightly less famous than engaging in a land war in Asia. Seriously though people, there is 0 reason to believe Deadfire will not be more successful and well received than Eternity 1. Reviewers who got early review copies, and have tweeted their thoughts, have all basically universally liked the game. I recall one where the guy said it was "a game of the year contender". Additionally the Backer Beta at this point is worth less than monopoly money. We know it is versions behind, we know they have adjusted the gameplay since that version likely multiple times. Hell, we know it was not the most recent version of the game on the day they released it as the latest backer beta even. So we should probably stop holding it up as an example of how the game will play in all regards. It didn't hold water in Eternity 1, it won't in Deadfire. But to avoid falling into the logic pit trap myself..... God Deadfire is gonna suck! If only the MC was Commander Shepard (from ME2 obviously), the game had 50% VO only, and Rammstein had made the main theme song. Then this game would like rock for real! Wait... you can't play as Shepard?!? Now I'm worried. Wait... WHAT!? How can you have Mass Effect: Deadfire without Shepard!?? They're prolly going to replace Garrus and Tali too.

If anybody has a portrait of a random skinny, black dude (With watercolor if possible) that I can use, that'd be great. I like playing as myself in rpgs but have no artistic talent whatsoever.

Congrats on the mention, dude! Your vids over the past few weeks have been hyping me up for the game and deserve more attention.

USING MY MAGICAL POWERS, I SHALL COMMAND THIS THREAD TO BE MOVED TO THE OFF TOPIC SECTION!!!! A te, de l’essere Principio immenso, Materia e spirito, Ragione e senso; Te invoco, o Banana Re del convito

Alternatively, there will be another thread that will repeat all of the arguments above I just feel like this thread has went way off the topic of what the OP was trying to discuss and should be moved to maybe the Off Topic Section or Tumblr

This thread needs to be locked so people can just stop arguing about something so useless.
