[I kill Eder on prologue ship! He dissapeared !]

If he is not on the beach besides you, you will need to either restart or load a save before he died.

[When Does The Rum Runner`s DLC Release?]

Anyone know if it is available if you are on the beta path?

I cannot imagine it will.

[Admirable Design Decisions]

 

 

Vignettes

 

What's that?

 

 

I assume flamesium is talking about the scripted interactions.

[3 expansions ......really?]

Just addind Difficulty would add like 10 DLC of content i don't understand thier way of thinking. People would grind and search the area for decent item to complet thier set of equipement to continue the main quest.

 

I feel like it's a money decision making. The difficulty is a main problem and they don't talk about it.

They acknowledged the difficulty on Veteran and PotD mode was a problem in the Tuesday Q&A stream and said they were going to fix it in an upcoming patch (and Sawyer has said so as well on his Q&A site).

[A few gameplay/feature questions]

I'm just adding something...

 

I have seen a few grammatical errors in the tool tips, it just seems a bit unprofessional. If I ever sent an email at work without spellchecking I'd get berated.

 

But overall, the game has been a pretty solid improvement over the first.

Have you reported them? It is the only way they are going to be fixed.

[3 expansions ......really?]

 

DLC was part of the fig campaign, the last game also had dlc.

 

So it's actually good that they are releasing it soon and giving us details on what it will be. I was hoping for something meatier than the three dlc's sound, something like the white march or an actual proper expansion but they never said that this would be all the dlc ever released so who knows maybe we'll get an expansion after all.

 

Either way I am pleased there will be post launch content. Sorry about you wanting to play it all at once but it's pretty normal to have to wait for a complete edition of a game to do that, I am not saying that is a good thing but it isn't an inherently bad thing either. They were very upfront about the fact that there would be dlc, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

 

Seems like you are implying that because they are releasing it so soon it must be like ripped from the main game or should just have been part of the main game. I can see that perspective but non of it sounds like it has much to do with the main plot. It will have been budgeted and planned for but they didn't know what form it would take when they pitched it which means they hadn't started working on it yet then.

If they aren't full blown expansions, would you have a time frame on when the expansions would come?

I think the three DLCs are it, and even if they aren't, they are all we know of.

[Tuesday 15 of May Q&A stream with Josh and Caleb summary.]

Obsidian had a Q&A last night, and there is a Reddit summary of it. The recorded stream can be found here.

[Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part IV]

- Did somebody write it down? Sometimes they were talking very fast and I had problems to understand everything.

 

Here is the gist.

[So what does the beta patch NOT fix?]

It's in beta for now, though it was scheduled to drop yesterday.

[Tuesday(?) Q&A stream with Josh and Caleb]

There will be

some special announcements, and it will be held at 2 PM PDT (Tuesday presumably, but it is unclear from the post time and wording).

[This is fully voice acted now right (And other questions)]

All dialogue is now voice acted.

[Two questiobs about savegame import]

2) It should be in the same folder as the rest of the savegames. In practice you don't need to fiddle with it - as long as it is in there, and the folder is in the right place, Deadfire should be able to find it when you try to import.

[Who is playing on the 8th?]

I'm setting an alarm get out of bed and start my GOG download at 3am Tuesday 9th (thanks Australian Eastern Standard Time and **** Australian internet). So can take the day off work and spend the whole day playing.

 

I'm so excited that I physically feel it, like a dog stamping its paws for dinner.

You know, if you use GOG galaxy you will be able to preload it (from Friday and onward). You will still have to decrypt it come Tuesday, but if your internet is really bad...

[[POTD Difficulty] Launch NOT tuned discussion thread]

The new level will be called "Path of the Vela". You'll play as the five year old girl on her quest to avenge her parent and all the pets from the first game.

 

All attributes at 3, no class, no level up and automatic terrified affliction on most battles.

 

And of course the greatest handicap of all: Being an Orlan

[Who is playing on the 8th?]

I too have good Internet, so while I got it on GoG, I will probably get to play it for a few hours on the 8th. Hopefully I can yank myself away from it, since I've decided to wait a few patches before digging into it for real.

[Would my computer die if I don't met sr]

Can mine run it?

 

 

I don't think so, most potatoes are 32-bit - I think you may have to upgrade to a pumpkin.

[Pillars 1 decision when not having played the game?]

About save import. Is there any extra reactivity or anything for importing your own save compared to making a new one?

 

Not sure if I'll be able to finish POE 1 before release, so got me thinking if I might aswell don't, and make the choices in Deadfire on starting new game...

Sawyer has gone on the record that there will be some minor reactivity that will only be available to people who import (he did not go into further detail), but otherwise there should be no bonuses from importing.

[Pillars 1 decision when not having played the game?]

haven't played the first pillars to the end and don't like filling out questionnaires, i hope there's a 'You were a badass!' shortcut.

 

Deadfire will have presets that you can choose.

[Portraits II]

 

If someone could make a watercolour of this one, it would be ovely.

 

 

 

Thank you

[General Feedback Across Versions]

I was really excited at the prospect of giving my Watcher a fancy hat instead of a hood in Deadfire, but the moment I achieved this goal, my elation was tarnished by the fact that the hat gave my Watcher a shaved head.  I seem to recall the devs saying that that issue was going to be fixed in Deadfire (I could be wrong; please don't throw rocks).

 

I too remember they said they would look into it - apprently they didn't have the time/couldn't figure out of how to do it properly.

 

I wish we could pick eye colour separate from face.

 

Josh has said that they will look into it after launch.

[Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part III]

There is a lot less domain overlap since the TSR gold box days, so saying something like: "My three favorite RPGs are: Pillars of Eternity, Spelljammer, and Mass Effect 3" shouldn't make anyone's head explode as they attempt to parse the statement.

Having Spelljamer being explained to you is enough to make most people's head explode

[Portraits II]

Damn, got busy for a week and requests are spawning like rabbits.    Guys, where have you all been before?? I'll try, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do all of these before release day.

 

Not to be presumptuous, but for anyone kind enough to process "my" portrait I would be totally fine with having my images bumped to the bottom of the pile - I intend to wait for a patch or two before I will start playing in earnest anyway, so there is no rush.

[Sidekicks will have no banter]

250.000 for 4 portraits and some cosmetics are a insult to me aswell.

Streach goals in crowdfunding are specific and concrete goals (as opposed to the underlying goal - a better game) used as enticement to get people to contribute more money, the vast majority of which will go into the basic development of the game. Some of them are robust game mechanics (theoretically the relationship system), others are throwaway tchotchkes, and so on - their monetary cost to implement may differ, and so do their subjective value.

 

If you are disappointed that the sidekicks do not live up to your expectations, that's fair enough, but to feel like you've been insulted based on "their cost" is taking it a bit too far.

[Armor sets and illusions]

Could you go into more detail about this "Illusions" feature?

[Character import question]

 

 

Hey Guys,

 

Just finished my second playthrough of Pillars, but i didn't complete White March Part 2. I just didn't have the stamina, and was ready to finish the game. Unfortunately, the result of this is a throwaway slide at the end of the game that says the Watcher died because of some random army that chased after him.

 

Now i really don't feel like going back and finishing that expansion just to get rid of that slide. Does anyone know if i can still import my character even with this endgame slide? I really want to import my character.

 

Thanks.

 

I don't thnk so. Deadfire requires a gamecomplete.savegame save game - if you only complete WM1 and then complete the game, the game will not generate that file.

 

At least I remember a dev saying that - if you want to make sure, go look in your PoE savegame foldder and see if there is a recent gamecomplete.savegame.

 

 

Where does this save game show up? I am not seeing one in the load game screen of either of the two characters I have completed the game with??

 

 

It does not show on the load screen - you can find it in your PoE 1 save game folder.

 

I assume Deadfire will look for it in the PoE 1 savegame folder.
