Portraits II
Night Stalker replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)If someone could make a watercolour of this one, it would be ovely.

Industrial Revolution
Night Stalker replied to the_dog_days's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think it would be interesting to examine, but I have my doubts it will from a business perspective. PoE is Obsidian own fantasy IP, designed to cater to a rpg traditionalist customer segment. Even if they wanted, Obsidian might be reluctend to do so, in fear of alienating fans. Also, I wouldn't say that a vaugly-early modern analogous society is "on the cusp of an industrial revolution" (even if I dispense with my dislike for hard historical inevitability) - but that might be a quibble depening on whether you think 150 - 300 years is a short time.

Character import question
Night Stalker replied to Gibbscape_Torment's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)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.

Why I think a fully voiced PoE:Deadfire is a mistake
Night Stalker replied to Gairnulf's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I don't know how you feel about this, but for me, when an oft-repated phrase becomes a meme, it is an indication that it was source of annoyence (arrow to the knee, wishing for a nuclear winter and so on).

Companion sub-classes?
Night Stalker replied to bleedthefreak's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Here is a table of the choices we will have (which admittedly raises some questiones): https://i.imgur.com/ycXcUrS.png

Deadfire will have FULL Voice over. It's ON!
Night Stalker replied to TheisEjsing's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Considering each DLC is projected to cost $10, I think they are going to be of some substance. If they are just a weapon pack or additional ships, I doubt they will sell at that price point.

Beta IV - General Feedback [The Good // The Bad]
I think Sawyer mentioned in the last Q&A stream that they were. I don't have a clue in which of the .json files the values are in though.

Deadfire Scavenger Hunt
Night Stalker replied to Yosharian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)They would have to make each item into a mini-DLC then? I think they already are? At least they are split up into more than 1 file, from that Steam info someone posted the other day (and I can't seem to find now).

Deadfire Scavenger Hunt
Night Stalker replied to Yosharian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I don't think there is anything preventing it - it would just be additional work for a bespoke system they are properly never going to use again. I am a GoG user too, and I too will be slightly miffed if I am excluded for the Scavenger Hunt DLC, but let us not kid ourselves - it is much easier (and quicker, and cheaper) to dream up a system than to fully design, implement, and test it. Honestly, the easiest thing would be to just give all of the Scavenger Hunt DLC to the GoG backers and be done with it.

Save character file ported over from PoE
There is an import feature, and no matter whether you import or not, the main character is still the Watcher of Card Nua. However, you only imports your choices, not your stats. You will have to remake your character, and you'll start at level 1 (partly to facilitate the new character and multiclass system). If you want more information I suggest you try to read some of the import threads that have already been made: https://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1

Critical Role & Obsidian Announce Partnership For Deadfire!
I read it as are both going to make voice sets for some of the characters they played in their first D&D campaign (and that there will be portraits of them to go along) AND do voice acting for the companions (and possibly other NPCs).

Character Creation: Still Kinda Not Great
That is fine, but I think your suggestions would be more noticeable to the devs if you had made a new thread solely dedicated to UI enhancements you'd like to see.

Does anyone else get the feeling that deadfire is more goofy and gimmicky then pillars
Night Stalker replied to master guardian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It's more likely that for some people it's Irenicus's dungeon for prologue or bust. Based on the Kickstarter trailer we are going to start after Eothas has utterly destroyed Card Nua and killed most, if not all, of the living beings there by sucking out their souls. I think we got the grimdark start covered.

Am I the only one who dislikes portraits (as a concept)?
Night Stalker replied to mrmonocle's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)While there is the problem with portraits and in game model not syncing up, I still prefer portraits. I assume you are meaning the 3D characters you saw when you talked to people - yeah, they could have used some more work. Still, I found Tyranny to be a good experience overall.

How much DLC is planned for POE 2?
Night Stalker replied to Stardusk78's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Agreed, now if it was ten Xaurip spears, then we would be in business...

Deadfire Dev Q&A, April 2nd!
Night Stalker replied to Mikey Dowling's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announcements & NewsI think that is the free Deadfire DLC (it brings some portraits from PoE2 and a merchant at Anslög's Compass that you can buy some new stuff from) - it is not the full sequal (or a real expansion for that matter). No - see above. No, we lose all of our stuff, including all of our soulbound items.

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part III
Night Stalker replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Good grief, Every time a RPG sequel comes out it seems like the fans want the old game remade in the new engine. NWN is released - people want BG/Torment remade in it. NWN2 is released - people want the NWN/BG campaign remade in it. Fallout: New Vegas is released, people want Fallout 3 remade in it (WHY?). Fallout 4 is released, people want Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 (WHY?) remade in it. Deadfire is not even out, and now people want PoE remastered in the new engine. I know you cannot argue with taste, but honestly I would rather efforts go into making something new than to re-create something old that already runs on modern computers/OS'.
