[What would you like to see in future DLCs and patches?]

I just want more dialogues for Rekke

[How buggy is Deadfire compared to other RPGs you've played?]

Played at launch. Spent 100+ hours. Maybe there were bugs but I didn't notice them, completed the game without any issues. Nothing game-breaking on my side.

(I don't really consider possible companion conversation bugs as such, so I am not counting them)

Same, 2 walkthroughs and nothing major.

I think most buggy game I've ever played was Spellforce 3, it required 12+ patches for me to just finish the main story. Had to stop playing and wait for next patch every time because quests weren't working.

[Are the companion reputations rigged?]

Mostly. Aloth&Eder releationship changes a bit depending on Aloth's endings in PoE and the Watcher can influence Eder&Xoti and Xoti&Maia.

[For those who've beat it, what are your thoughts?]

I'll keep replaying the first game, but I don't intend to touch Deadfire ever again. I just don't care about the companions, factions, gods or anyone in this game. I need an emotional hook to care about a story and I can't find one.

Same for me. I tried to find at least something/someone to care about in this game and found nothing. Aloth and Eder is only ones I care about and they don't really well written in this game.

[Aloth: Opinions]

Same. While he doesn't really disapproves anything Watcher does, I'm still at 0. He really needs at least one more thing he likes.

In actual conversations he always smiles when Watcher jokes with him, even with Iselmyr:

But his approval just don't matches his actual dialogues, I would've expected Aloth to like the person he always laughs with.

[Edér: What happened?]

His quest will probably pop up when you meet other Dawnstars elsewhere.

[Edér: What happened?]

It also feels that he a bit creeped out by the whole Watcher-thing. He jokes every time Watcher does soul-reading, talks to the Gods, etc.

[Official Characters and Romance Thread (Spoiler Version) Part Two]

I wish Aloth romance had at least one more conversation, the jump between him shutting you down with "I'm truly glad to see you again, but it's been five years" in first conversation to the kiss is pretty jarring.

[Edér: What happened?]

Yeah, the thing that really bugs me - it's been 5 years and none of your old companions thought to write/visit the Watcher. I thought we were friends, guys

[Edér: What happened?]

I don't think he changed much, he just dosn't have much dialogues with the Watcher. In the instances he actually talks to him, he seems the same, he still your friend and values your opinion. Although, I have to agree, his whole quest is just... weird. There was so many options for interesting character quest than ex-lover from 20 years ago.

[Favorite and least favorite companions + sidekicks]

I would trade all new companions for Rekke
