Rogues need way more utility
oaklei replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Someone already beat me to it, but if you want to play a rogue with utility, isn't that exactly what the Trickster is all about? Also, the rogue strikes don't all do the same thing, there are a lot of debuffs to keep track of in POE, but they are tangibly different.

American accent in CRPGs. Yes or No?
oaklei replied to Amigo345's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I don't think American accents are necessarily out of place in medieval CRPGs. The standard American accent can have a very gruff, earthy sound to it that suits drifter and labourer types. And a southern American accent is perfectly fine to define a unique community, like Xoti's. It's the more whiny, Mean Girls, Big Bang Theory American accent that can completely break the immersion. I'm not talking about the Valley girl accent either, there is just a way that young Americans sound sometimes that is very whiny. I think this is why so many people are complaining about the Narrator for example.

[Mac] Unable to start game, black screen
oaklei replied to cheesevillain's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)I got the game working on a Bootcamped version of Windows. MacBook Air early 2014, Windows 10 installed on a 70gb partition. I did NOT want to have to go this route, but the performance is...ok. Might be an option for anyone who doesn’t want to wait for a hot fix.

A Messy & Broken Launch
oaklei replied to SonicMage117's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Lmao. So the positive reviews are biased but the negative ones with 30 minutes /played aren't, huh? Interesting perception right there. The game runs absolutely fine for 90%+ and I'm willing to bet that at least half of the "game crashes/doesn't run" crowd should troubleshoot on their own end. Seems like you're desperately looking for reasons not to play the game right now... so why not just wait instead of writing nonsense like "technical issues erupting at all angles"? It'd be nice if I could give even a 30 min review. A lot of people can't play the game at all. I'm not sure if you've glanced at the tech support page, but it is indeed erupting with technical issues. The game flat out doesn't work on a lot of Linux and OSX machines. And yeah I know, lol-get-a-gaming-PC, but they've marketed this forever as a tri-platform game and have not delivered.
