This may sound stupid, but I created an account only to say these things. I'm not one of those entitled people who complain on the forums all the time. Usually I just enjoy the game, but I just can't help myself with this, it just feels to me like one small step from ultimate greatness, sorry. Pilalrs 1 was to me a bit meh at first... I couldn't get into the world and story, or be engaged enough, but I played through it and eventually it turned out to be great fun. The gameplay, combat, characters, dialouge... Great Stuff.
So here I am playing Deadfire and all is good and better with each minute... Except 2 things. Ships and horses!
Now please hear me out... I'd pay good money to have these things in-game, I bought into the whole sorta-season-pass thing and... the next DLC is a winter expansion, who would have expected that? Isn't this an expansion cliché? Warcraft, Dawn of War, Baldur's Torment (made that up, but it would probably be great)? It's not that I am ranting, but the game need JUST ONE DAMN THING! Please make the ship combat real-time! You know Sid Meier's Pirates? That thing! Hell, even Monkey Island 3 had this. If Obsidians ever consider adding something like that to the game and just that, I'd pay top dollar not to have to go through the text-based turn stuff.
As for the mounts, I get that these games try to do throwback to the Infinity Engine stuff, but... Why are there no horses? I could understand that in the 90's, when tech was limitied, but now? I don't need them for anything, it just feels weird when everyone travels everywhere on foot. I mean come on! You put ships in the game and can't do a horse?
All that said, I am loving the games, Deadfire especially and I hope Obsidian keeps up the good stuff rolling.
PS Also, Tyranny 2 needs to happen at some point - best damn RPG since Torment and simply because you can act like and asswipe to anyone, and they still nod and bow down to the great level 1 agent of Tunon. My ending rocked BTW.
