I went with the kitties..they are super cute

well yeah... I mean Urgency doesn't always have to be 'Go! Quick! chase after EOTHA!! GO GO GO! forget all the fedex quest!!!! HURRRRRRRRY!'' But could easely be , some good reasons why we can't just run off and yet feel the 'OMG! he is gonna kill alot of peoples while I'm standing here trying to find a way to follow him'' . In the game though , you can pretty much follow him right away . Oh yeah he is heading for...shoo! go that way ! The doom and Gloom , I didn't mean let me hurry after him . But something..I dunno..make him wake up a volcano while he is stomping around . Yet when you sail on island , everyone acting like there is no danger at all . Even the faction are right on their schedule of daily bickering and trying to take each others out .

I don't think there is a middle road. There will always be people complaining about something - damned if you do, damned if you don't. I for one am happy that this game is different to its predecessor, yet it still pulls at my heart strings. Its a lot of fun, and while the main quest doesn't have as much urgency, the game doesn't feel any worse for it, at least to me. I think if it was too much like the previous one, it would get very old very fast. And there will be EVEN MORE complaining on the forums dunno.. I like to think there is a middle road somewhere . Only , nobody tried finding it . Because if you go with 'Game is either X or Y' ..then by that saying , Deadfire is a failur . Since the 1st game that set the setting wasn't about exploring much but story driven . This game has exploring island and combat at sea . A middle road would be a bit more story heavy when it come to chasing the main quest , more urgency and drama . And keep the exploring and fight at sea . That would be a middle road no? I personally , games that tell me to go explore...like skyrim , and such...are a bore . I'm a shameless starving person that love a good story . And heck even when I try to get into the exploring..I just get bored fast .

I'm specifically doing a "never do what the gods tell you to and disrespect them as much as possible" playthrough. Backfired on me once. Protip: Do not **** with Rymgrand. haha too late ! I already did..and yeah..what an ass ! He kinda remind me of that god with meet in NWN2 Mask of the betrayer .

Ahhhhhhhh! I remember that one.. Muh..I let that god tell me what to do..so never saw one . I did kinda though..if I don't do what he want..he gonna break the aquarium so gonna do that next time!

how do you meet one ? never saw one...awww..

yes . take a look at this : https://wiki.fireundubh.com/deadfire/dialogue-options

the dialogues or flag are bugged...reading peoples reports stuff..I'm pretty sure they are . Cose some stuff never happen in my game at all . Side note: I don't mind Xoti and Maia hit on me..about time too!

Ah! I for one I'm happy...I love a system of day/night (Unlike BW who is still failing at that one Grr!) .. Anyway , you can rest in a tavern .

eotha or the patch ? or maybe both..imagine him carrying it !

yeah big cities are a good thing . Some games just give you wide map with mobs and a dungeon . And that's fine . But a city is also good.. for selling loot , taking a breather and fixing your stuff .

wooooooo I have no idea how you end up with everyone hostile down there . Anyway , Hum when Dereo give you the quest . You supposed to go to the 'Snake' area (where the palace is) . Find this house , where a guy has the cornett (at least one) . You can convince him and such and he hand it over . After that , I went down to the old city . Killed stuff , got sick and found the 2nd cornette . Once you kill the worm , the 2 cornett will open a room with loot . Pretty much what Dereo wanted was the murale information and to keep the cornett for sentimental reasons (cose he can't swim!) *ahem* . The way out is trough the undercroft . For some reason you can sneak trough and if you are caugh , just go talk to the leader . She gave me a quest that I never felt like doing and up to the surface you can go without much blood spilled .

but..it's a ship . So not that many level to it no? I'm sure a ghost ship could use some non-euclidean geometries. they could've done that you know , if I recall ..we do find a couples of wrecked ships . Would've been nice if they were dungeons . Although..I for one..wish we had Diablo 1 dungeons

She only leave if she is in the party when you are going to do it from what I've read. wish someone could confirm that . Cose that would be nice !

I can answer that one . Joining the Principal is like joining a faction . Beside loot reward and such , the ending sliders will be determined by who did you side with and the fate of your companions will change depanding on that also . I'm guessing going solo..will also give a different slider . Although , I can say that they are also bugged . So beware ( as in , give them time to fix this stuff and try again :D)

I haven't played BG yet. I died in the tutorial AND had to google how to complete it, which kind of put me off lmao. But yeah it depends how they are obnoxious. I liked Durance, although he was rude as hell xD I'm not keen on Pallegina either btw, I didn't even recruit her initially, but then picked her up after I decided Maia is dreadful . yeah , not every companion gonna be Love at first sight . and really..to each it's own . But one thing I can say about companions here in this game is ..while some can be boring and such . At least they aren't Awful , so awful you wanna kill them . And that's a good thing . I mean Durance was like..God...where this *thing* came from !! and why isn't it dead!!! cose of his dialogue mind you! But thats actually a good thing! I don't think he was made to be loved . Certainly not from his look at least ! and he was unique , like it or not..not every day you gonna meet someone that look like he kissed a bomb and survived , and hate the whole world while at it . and if you love durance , you love him for being what he is . Someone you wanna bury alive....(he kinda remind me of a character in Naruto : Hidan , just less pretty ) .

once you reach the sea...you won't have time to talk , and every pirate outta there will want to kill you . Big towns are there for chit chat to get quest . But outside of them...its alot of fighting .

well I asked a Dev about the shantie , he did say they run out of times . So maybe they run out of time for alot of things it seem...

you should meet some arrogants companions from the past... Maia will look like a saint then Such as? xD hum..well take anomen from BG2 lol... there is arrogant funny , and arrogant prick I wish you die kinda of companions . Edwin from BG2 was arrogant but it was still hilarious . Anomen is your I hope you die in a dark alley kinda of companion . Edit: Also Pallagina come off as very...arrogant . But that just make me wanna grab my religious book and nag her even more just for fun

why? we put points in diplomacy for a reason . Just like we got point in Bluff and intimidate . If you can't use those skills , then it's pointless and a waste . Not every quest has to have a peaceful ending . But that quest sucked for the simple reason that both side were idiots . If you don't write a peaceful way in there , at least write a 'Skip it all together' since realisticly , you should be able to say 'Nah! the druids are your problem . How about you give me the next job instead ?' .

being over confident is a bad thing?

Every game needs a serious char. She's the super serious and hardened character of this game. If anything, the fact that she can be super serious and is still the queen of retort make her a lot more amazing. Her tongues are sharper than even a legendary unique dagger. then you talk about the gods and she goes butt hurt there goes the pretty figure of 'I'm deadly and seriouse! fear meh!'

Pallagina..I forgot about her . she is the weirdest Paladin I ever seen . She act more like a Merc then a paladin...and she is an ass . I'm like sheesh..learn to relax a bit.......
