Path of the Damned effect
They are set for automatic, aggressive action but they ignore it. If I lower the difficulty to normal it happens correctly.

Path of the Damned effect
I have started playing that with Berath's Blessings and I have noticed that my companions just stand there when I am attacked and do not respond even when hit. They will only fight when I pick a target for them. How do I get them back to fighting automatically? I would rather not have to micro manage them all the time.

How do you land at Kazuwari
msyoung replied to ArnoldRimmer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)After completing Magran's Maw your steward will inform you that there is a chest on your ship. That is when you can go to the island.

Are the mega bosses killable
I have beaten them all but you have think pretty much out of the box. Your normal tactics will probably not work. Think of the Seeker, Slayer, Survivor DLC as a prep for them.

What's the best way to heal?
What I don't see mentioned yet is that there are items that you can equip that will provide constant healing like the troll belt. The only monk I usually include is Xoti and I equip her with the Chromoprismatic Quarterstaff, mythic of course. This time, though, she is Contemplative.

Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire won the Golden Cube Awards
msyoung replied to Sanjid099's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Very nice and well deserved. Congratulations Oblivion. Their next game, The Outer Worlds, sounds interesting too.

Playing Path of the Damned
Thanks, I have beaten them in standard difficulty so will see how this goes. Since I just left Port Maje, not going there for a while yet.

Playing Path of the Damned
Playing this for the first time and the fights are definitely harder, more loot though. Which leads me to a question, are the Mega Bosses harder too? That could make them really challenging.

Ending Slides - Achievements
msyoung replied to ilsendoodle's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)There is at least one quest I missed because I didn't start it, an item I believe is called the Godseeker. And a modification to a grimoire before giving it back. Don't remember the exact details but I am sure you will here from someone who does.

6 Heralds on Seeker, Slayer Survivor is Like Army vs Army
You can't pause? I can and I am playing on the hardest level.

All God Challenges Theorycrafting Thread
The faction leader fight has always been an easy fight for me in Ukaizo, but this thread does lead me to a question. The first thing my Herald does in a fight is to call up three Wurms and he does this automatically. So if you have five Heralds, does that mean 15 Wurms in the fight? That could be somewhat overwhelming especially if all your Heralds have the Ancient Memory chant.

Lowering Difficulty Level?
msyoung replied to Ælfwine's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Once you have entered a screen, you cannot change the difficulty for that screen. As previously suggested, go back to a previous autosave and lower difficulty. You don't have to go back to the beginning of the DLC, just the save before your current fight. As a hint, always do a quicksave before you select the arena battle.

DLC Worth?
msyoung replied to Ælfwine's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)If you don't enjoy laying the game (it sounds like you don't) then go ahead and finish it and move on to another game. For me, the new DLC added four more days.

Have you noticed this with traps? Cursor bug, I presume.
msyoung replied to xzar_monty's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I have seen that and if you look closely the trap is visible. I have also stopped being able to pick locks. The text says successful but the door or chest is still locked.

Good Build Options For 2H Axe(s)?
I favor Oathbreaker's End. It can truly deliver some damage.

Created/optional companions being Destroyed in Combat
msyoung replied to Fatman0004's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Companions can be killed and sometimes without warning. If you get three red dots on the left side of your avatar, the next one will kill them, period. In a fight I have lost companions because they get all of the dots at one time. The only way you can come back from that is to load your last save and try again.

Eulogy for the Dead encounter difficulty
msyoung replied to ryak2002's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Little hard to reply intelligently to this vague question.

Finally some sales evidence
msyoung replied to no1fanboy's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)A lack of advertising is probably a big culprit. I only heard about it at one place, an online D&D game called Critical Role. The other D&D players I have run into have never heard of the game.

A quandary permanently carrying venom tag
The only problem with the console is that it stops all achievement gathering permanently and I still have a few more to get. Since this playthrough is almost over, I'll live with it.

A quandary permanently carrying venom tag
Two of my characters are permanently carrying a venom tag on the right side of the avatar along with other benefits. It says -1% action speed for so many seconds but the seconds do not count down. I have rested both in camp and in an inn and drank antidote but it won't go away. How do I remove that?

What's good to multiclass with Paladin?
My PC is a Herald (Paladin/Chanter) and that is working well for me. He is Coastal Aumaua and if you have finished the game once, you can get Berath's Blessings which can give you +2 on all your stats.

[Build help] Strategy from low lvl..
I assume you know where to get the quarterstaff. There are some fights there that you cannot avoid (except with some careful stealth use, maybe). The last event I have seen some hints that it can be resolved peacefully, but that has never worked for me. The best result I have gotten is to save the kid but I have still needed to fight.

Question About Forgotten Sanctum [Possible Spoilers?]
msyoung replied to Paper Whisky's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)I have not been very good at distracting them by knocking the books over so quite a few I have had to kill. Interestingly enough, librarians in other rooms do not automatically become your enemy if you have killed some.

Have the sigils been nerved?
I have two ways of destroying sigils, Alotha casting fireballs or my PC using the Essence Interrupter bow.
