How many companions will there be in total?
Night Stalker replied to Stardusk78's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I don't think so, though there may be an announcement coming about this shortly.

I am afraid there is not.

Me neither - I like it, this way we can clearly see what is in the slot we are considering putting the item into.

POE to POE2 Transmission, Saves and Characters...
Night Stalker replied to Stardusk78's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)They have gone into great detail: You can import a save game that has completed the game, but you have to recreate your character. For information about how the choices gets transferred, see here.

Player sexual companion
Night Stalker replied to Aleh1811's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Could you please elaborate on this, because the two emphasised pieces of texts seems to be in opposition.

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)Josh is carrying the bazooka wrong, it should be the other way around (though to be fair, he acknowledged this years ago). I think he was handed it at a party, and the picture was taken right afterwards.

Fearmongering thread
Night Stalker replied to Wormerine's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Oh hai Aloth. Okay now I really want the Watcher to wrestle a wand off a svef dealer who Aloth has crossed, then later, when Pallegina cheats on him, kill himself with it. "You're lying I never hit you! You're TEARING ME APART, PALLEGINA!" [Aloth walks into blacksmith's store.] Aloth: Hi. Proprietor: Oh hi, Aloth. I didn't know it was you. [Grabs random package.] Here you go. Aloth: That's meee. How much is it? Proprietor: It'll be eighteen go-- Aloth: Here you go! Keep the change. Hi, doggy. Proprietor: You're my favorite customer. Aloth [deadpan]: Thanks a lot. Bye. Proprietor: Bye-bye. Iselmyr: I dona know why ya can't talk like a person, pointy-ear. Do I have to watch "The Room" in order to understand this joke? Or I'll just assume this is how bad the movie goes You just need to watch scene - you should be able to find the rest of the refereed scenes from there.

Fearmongering thread
Night Stalker replied to Wormerine's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)* Due to last minute focus testing Deadfire will now be a Multiplayer-only title with all players on the same shard - there will be both PvE and PvP, * In addition to the above, there will be no text chat feature. Instead there will be a global voice chat that you cannot disable.

It's still possible back this game?
Night Stalker replied to myuggo's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I can't do anything here unfortunately. It's an injustice that who discover only now the game can't have the cool items of the Fig campaign. Do you think can be a possibility to contact the support? Thanks! Since they are a part of the company that made the decision to close down the option to back the project, and instead begin the pre-order process, I don't think there is anything they can do for you.

Night Stalker replied to myuggo's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Indeed, you should even be able to pre-order it!

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part 2
Night Stalker replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Might is coming back in the next backer beta: https://twitter.com/jesawyer/status/975553952929296384

Josh Sawyer's tweets and teasers, part 2
Night Stalker replied to Gfted1's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Hey Josh, played a bit of the backer beta and noticed that multiple weapon sets no longer show up on characters. Was it taken out or just not implemented in the beta? I personally loved the "Armed to the Teeth" vibe our characters could have in PoE, and its absence in DF would be a darn shame IMHO.

Save Import VS Choice Selection
Night Stalker replied to MrHoot's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)If you played PoE1, then it would have created a folder on your computer where the save games were stored. When you uninstalled PoE1, that folder, and everything in it, was not deleted. When you install PoE2, I assume it will look for that folder and try to find an endgame save. This is however speculation, based on how other games tend to handle this, since I have seen no specifics on how PoE2 is going to find the save files.

Level Scaling: All, crit path only or none? Thoughts?
Night Stalker replied to Gregorovitch's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I am leaning towards either Scale critical path only + Scale up only or No scaling. I do like a challenge, but I also like to perform curb-stomp battles now and again if I feel I have "earned it".

Voice acting in Pillars @
Night Stalker replied to Maziga's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)There will not be full voice acting. However, the voice acting budget has been doubled (I don't have a quote, but I doubt this will translate directly to twice the amount of voice acting), and the writers have gotten better guidelines on how to mix voiced and non-voiced sections - there should be no more "[voiced bit] [unvoiced descriptive text] [voiced bit]".

Deadfire delayed to May 8th

Deadfire delayed to May 8th
Night Stalker replied to a post in a topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Good. As a consumer I am fine with delaying the game a month to get a more polished experience. I only hope that it dosen't strain Obsidian too much financially.

Eye tracking?
Night Stalker replied to warg's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Honestly I don't think PoE or any game adjacent to the IE genre is a good fit for eye tracking - too much precision clicking. However I don't have any experience with the technology, so I would be interested in learning how precise it is.

WTF are sidekicks?
Night Stalker replied to Yosharian's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Wait.. What? I just bought bg2ee on android and that's better than i remembered... Dialogues are absolutely brilliant. Companions talk with each other, interact with you and with npcs... The interactions are far superior than poe 1 imho, and their personalities are developed a lot better (in poe, as in many other modern rpgs you get an npc and then you have to go through a wall of text having talking to them... While in bg2 the talking develop through the whole story). Some prersonal quests are easily forgettable (i.e. Keldorn) but some others are quite good. I can bet from now that dialogues wise bg2 will be still superior to poe (and that's decades later...) I think huang was referring to Baldur's Gate 1.

Collector Edition Game Guide
Night Stalker replied to WallOForce's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)As far as I know they are not making a new printed game guide.

Fig backer DLC missing/ wrong key?
Night Stalker replied to DevilBlazer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It will likely be released to us when the game is about to go live.

Fig backer DLC missing/ wrong key?
Night Stalker replied to DevilBlazer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The deadfire team has most likely not begun actually producing the DLC, therefore there is no product, therefore there are no DLC keys. Once the game has been released, there will likely go a period of 2-4 months before Obsidian announces the first of the DLCs, and at that point they might give us the first DLC key, or they might wait until they closer to release of the first DLC. The same applies to the second and the third DLC. Don't worry, we are all going to get our DLC keys.

Question about Pillars of Eternity Deadfire Obisidian Edition includes
Night Stalker replied to Terminator's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)At this point only the Deadfire development team has any idea what the three DLC packs will contain and how big they are going to be. I would assume that combined they would add as much content as White March 1 and 2, but that is just a guess. Their release date is likewise unknown. I do however think it is safe to assume that they will contain new locations, quests, weapons, and things like that. Maybe new companions and sidekicks, but that is more speculative.

Launch Date For Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announced, Pre-Orders Now Live!
Night Stalker replied to Mikey Dowling's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Announcements & NewsYou can redeem the code you get from Obsidian on either the GOG website or in their Galaxy client. In either case the redeemed game is added to your library - you will have to wait for it to be released before you can begin the installation (I cannot remember GOG doing pre-installs). GOG also has an infrastructure for pre-orders (you can, for example, preorder Deadfire), so redeeming your key before the game is released is really a non-issue.
