I just started playing Deadfire and I get a real kick out of the dialogue. I especially like Edér's input. The various interactions that show approval or amusement are funny. I guess sometimes a bit on the nose and sometimes a bit overdone. I'm hoping some of my companions have a better poker face, but I really enjoy what I've seen so far. The funny Edér moments are truly well done and the voice actor does a great job. I'm kind of wondering if Edér and Aloth end up with that weird love triangle in two bodies like the first game, but I don't want to be spoiled. I'm still pretty early in the game right now. I only have five companions: Edér, Xoti, Aloth, some orlan cipher character, and this dwarven chanter. I have a question, though. When I recruited the dwarf, the tutorial popped up to tell me he didn't get his own quests or some such. For my particular style, I think I'd rather have an enchanter than a cipher, but I don't want to miss dialogue or fun. What exactly is the difference if I switch in the dwarven chanter for one of the others? I'd hate to lose Aloth for sentimental reasons, but my main is a wizard already. I really should have multi-classed or alternate classed Aloth. Ugh.

I have a couple of questions: 1. I hate all the stock male elf portraits in Deadfire. I don't want a beard on my elf. As I recall, it seemed like most or all of the male elf portraits for pale elf portraits had beards. I don't know if that's part of the lore, but I don't like it. I ended up using a human academe portraits, but I'd rather have a similarly wizardly looking pale elf. Is there a custom pale elf portrait that fits that description somewhere around here? 2. Is there an easy way to replace my portrait in the saved game with a custom portrait that fits my vision of my character? Good work on the portraits I've seen here. People obviously put in a lot of effort in all of these. I really like some of them.

New Vegas is a great game. One of my favorites. However, I've just recently started playing Pillars 2: Deadfire. It's a wonderful game so far. I just started doing quests in Neketaka. I can't believe I didn't start this game sooner. It's splendid!
