Has to be a little more complicated than "the faction you helped the most". Two very similar playthroughs with Huana leading, pirates second, then the Vailians, then RDC, end game always started with the RDC committing suicide by the Watcher to avoid kablooey in gunpowder warehouse. Went with the Huana, Aeldys showed up. Went with the Vailians, and it was Atsura.

So here I am, looting the mansion after killing everyone inside as I do, when a corpse of giant wizard in her undies materializes out of thin air. Tuesday in Deadfire!

Different strokes for different folks. I'm having a lot of fun with Beguiler/Assassin -- you can shoot something from stealth, teleport behind your brick wall line and either set up debuffs for your sneak attacks or charm (love when enemies do my dirty work for me and kill themselves), or charm first and pile on them while they're distracted -- certainly more interesting and versatile than just swinging some BFS all the time or punching someone repeatedly in the face.

My SWTOR Sith Warrior Darth Flatulenza would approve of your ship.

And here I never ever bothered to name my ships. Oh well, still not too late to rename my flagman to Bazzo Nasenale.

Priests of Wael get to ask the hooded figure "Wael?", to what it answers "Of course not", so yeah, it's probably Wael. Makes sense, since there's its temple on the same island and priests notice that the place feels "almost holy"

SHRIEKING DIMWIT EAT PINEAPPLE WITH MEAT? SHRIEKING DIMWIT NEED NEW NAME, SHRIEKING PERVERT! BLEUGH!

Dataminin' says the sidekick with most interactions is Rekke with 11, and Fassina has the least -- 3. Compare Tekehu with 324, Xoti with 289, Eder with 273 and it's obvious they ain't worth the hassle. Either roll with the companion party for the social stuff, or make your own adventurers for the optimized stuff.

Who of a healthy mind would play a dutiful party over a lighthearted party?! ...okay, who but a white marble statchoo would play a dutiful party over a lighthearted party? Xoti threw a fit and butted heads with Pallegina in my party, but neither of them threatened to leave.

Hello, here it is.

I just got the same bug. The worst thing is that the doppelganger Luca somehow sneaked onto the ship and started handling cannons, thus ruining his four star boatswain career. Here's hoping I can use the spare Luca and bench the tainted doppel without imploding my game somewhen in the future.

Does any companion give you ultimatums? AFAIK those dispositions are flavor only, no buffs or debuffs or anything. So I use Tekehu and his foe-only Chill Fog with everythng.

Yes it is. Times I played NWN2: too many to count. Times I played NWN2 with fighter or barbarian: 0. I can't even get into Witchers 2 and 3 because I am restricted to play the dunce with a sword.

SODDING BUGGER USE CHAMBER POT AS FANCY HELMET! ONLY WASH IT IN ARKEMYR'S PEEPIN' POOL BEFORE BECAUSE HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT!

I cheated up his disposition up to 2 on my Bleak Walker/Corpse Eater (garbage kit by the way, don't take it for other than RP purposes) just to see how fast Corpsey's disgusting cruel ways will make him to drop to -2. ...what do you know, he reaps so much approval my goody two shoes diplo/benevolent previous character never even dared to dream about. Eder, on the other hand, is unhappy -- crack jokes all you want, but threaten to sew boots out of one wolf...

Games and books both tell stories, only in different ways, and you'd be able to know that difference if you read any books. (Not to mention better grasp of this thing called grammar)

There is a way to side with Huana and VTC without making the gunpowder warehouse go boom - go see Hazanui first, she asks you to assassinate Onekaza, you say "No thanks, I'll be going now", and she's all "Nuh-uh". You mop the floor with them and the dudes outside, go see Onekaza or Castol, they're all "Welp, you're brutal but efficient, lets proceed to Ukaizo then". Voila, no blown up civvies on your conscience.

Also, when on the ship you can roll up to Serafen and try some incredibly cheesy pick-up lines on him. He shots you down though.

Lemme guess -- SWTOR?

I like Skadge too and ran with him all the time when I was still playing SWTOR. And wish I could dump Mandalorian Fangirl No 1 somewhere, preferably in some Mando territories so that she'd experience the idiocy of her idols firsthand. To stay on topic - remember that Iselmyr was there first. Now imagine, you're Iselmyr and one day you regain sentience just to find yourself in the brain of Aloth "Fun strictly VERBOTEN!" Corfiser. Wouldn't you want to smash faces or at least resurface for fresh air from time to time? I know I would. And I would not hold against anyone preferring Iselmyr to Aloth.

They don't suck up. They want to use you. There is a difference.

THAT BE SODDING BUGGER YOU NO FEATHER RUNT! NOT BURGER! ... SODDING BUGGER NOW WANTS A GULL BURGER.

NO FEATHER IN HAT, NO RULE OVER SODDING BUGGER! UNLESS BRIBED WITH FOOD. OR BOOZE. OR BOTH. DEFINITELY BOTH.

I was on a godlike and Woedica's hood is not that useful on a non-PC, so I thought why the hell not.

I hate the "Living God" protagonist type with a scorching passion of ten thousand blue suns and so factions that do not give a toss about Mary Sue's the McWishFulfillment pwecious feewings and do their own thing instead of kissing Charname's arse always make me happy. And with all my undying biased love to New Vegas I gotta say Deadfire's factions are way, way better written. E.g. Legion was very underdeveloped -- there was hearsay about their territories being safe and raider-free, but all you met from Legion were abhorrent slavers, rapists and sadists deserving no more than a rabid dog treatment. Meanwhile the closest Legion analogue in Deadfire -- RDC -- is much more nuanced, better fleshed out and even have smart people here and in other forums defend them with rational, well-thought arguments.
