I am glad that the game is single-player only. At least in recent games multiplayer tends to take priority over single player when the two are combined, and the single-player experience is hurt because of it (for a number of reasons, such as combat and other systems being designed around multiplayer, rewards being exclusive to it or requiring excessive grind to get them in single player, or even quests/story content being gated behind it). For these reasons I prefer single player games to remain single player only.

I am happy to see there will be full VO. I think it adds a lot to the game, especially for the companions and other main npcs.

I agree! I much prefer postgame dlc. I don't like having to go back and redo things in order to play the dlc. During the Fig campaign, they said they were going to look at postgame dlc (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/124414169 @ 7:40:00). However, that was a while ago, so you might want to wait until they confirm if that is still the case or not before getting it.

As far as the stream it was near the end of the Fig campaign, maybe even on the last day (although I can't find any video of that to check). As far as #1 I already know I am going to like the game. I liked the first one and will like the second one. I would also like any story DLC as long as it took place after the end of the main story. I didn't think about portraits or items when I was thinking about dlc, but I probably wouldn't use those (except in any story DLC or Pillars 3). I am going to play at or close to launch and even if I like a game, I usually only play it once. So, whatever is in the game at that time is what I will be playing, and I don't like having to go back and redo stuff.

Yes, they said this during one of the Fig streams, which is why I got the DLC. Hopefully, they didn't change their plans...

Here is a typo ("on" should be "one"):

I never played White March because I couldn't play it after the main story. I am pretty sure that they said in one of the streams (I can't remember which one, but it was one of the later ones during the Fig campaign) that it will be after the main story for Deadfire. Hopefully, that is still the plan.

I prefer only a small amount of trash mobs. "Don't waste my time!"

Added.

I am curious which most people prefer: For the expansion to take place after the end of the story in the core game or in the middle of the game. I prefer for it to take place after the end of the story.

I would like the following: class quests more reactivity branching stories mages' guild more in-depth companions (more companion quests, dialogue/interactions both with pc and with the group, banter, etc.)

I would like full voice acting if they have the money for it.

You should know by now that there is always someone. On the survey there were several things I said I wouldn't want.

Probably it would be hard for you to fairly judge the writing of the main plot and companion stories if you didn't finish the game, though. I liked the writing of the main plot and most of the companions, so I consider it a good game. In contrast I didn't like the writing in the Witcher games at all, so I am glad PoE is not written in that style.

Terrible article. It isn't even really a review. Just ranting.

Before the final fight, Aloth asked my pc if the Leaden Key should remain without a leader once Thaos was dead.

Hiravias is my least liked companion by far. All the others I like and/or found interesting.
