There is a cursed weapon in PoE. Do you mean the Dissapointer or the Unlabored Blade? Both are "kinda" cursed but not really--the effect is temporary and limited to that weapon only. I assumed they were talking about The Grey Sleeper where you cant unequipp it. Yup. I'd have mentioned it, but thought it could be a spoiler to say so. I wouldn't call the Grey Sleeper cursed, because while it can't be removed it has no negative effects and that's *really* important to the idea of a "cursed" item to me. Really, PIllars only does half-baked "cursed" items--stuff that has negative penalties to the items effects, sometimes that can be overcome, or simply the "can't be removed" deal but with no negative effects associated with it. There are not any cursed items in the sense of items that bestow negative effects on the characters and cannot be removed until they are uncursed, which is really the definition of "cursed item" that I feel most people go on when they hear the term. There are many ways to build a cursed item, and they don't necessarily involve negative penalties. One just needs to open ones mind to the possibilities.

That would be nice. A bit like the old D&D rangers - Drizzt and stuff. But I can't think of any plausible talents around dual wielding at the moment (besides two weapon style of course). Maybe more cool Full Attacks would be nice. In PoE things like Wounding Shot (or Strike) are Primary Attacks only - which is lame. Wall of blades -- the character creates a whirling wall of blades that have a chance to strike anything along the path of movement. The effect also provides a bonus to deflection against disengagement attacks. However, it requires longer than normal to recover.

Today the White House quietly announced that the EPA will be officially renamed the Environmental Pollution Agency. Further details to follow.

Perhaps your old pal Azzuro will show up offering to sell you some of your old gear that he scavenged from the ruins?

Yeah, that's the freaky aspect of the whole Mass Effect series. I suppose it's much like Star Trek in that respect. At least the Star Wars films and games did a better job of portraying truly alien aliens, even if they are mostly acting like humans.

Romance in Deadfire

I'd like to see a scruffy-looking individual selling a very rare banned curse. Speaking sotto voce he says, "Psst... hey buddy. I've got something here you'll want to see...!" It could be, say, a particularly grotesque spell of flesh rending, or some other such gory abomination. The price for the curse spell is exorbitant, and the PC will be asked to buy it sight unseen. Being witnessed casting the spell in a civilized place may mean you'll get an unexpected visit from the magi inquisition.

Romance in Deadfire
rjshae replied to DrTomT18's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Main character has a wild and thoroughly enjoyable fling with a rich and gorgeous floozie (male or female) via scripted interaction, then breaks it off. Ex-lover becomes jealous and hires a cipher to give our protagonist nightmares. These continue to get progressively worse each time our hero returns to the port. Soon the former lover begins to be featured in these nightmares, swearing eternal vengeance in the form of a howling thunderstorm. Our protagonist must either beg for forgiveness and suffer some utter humiliation while serving the ex-lover's whims on a remote island, or spend an enormous sum to hire a cipher assassin who will end the attacks.- 52 replies

I really liked having Azzuro pay visits to the Stronghold. Even though I didn't always but his item, it still made for an interesting event. Personally I'd like to see something comparable in PoE2. Perhaps the city has an exclusive magic item auction for only the most wealthy or prestigious guests? You'd have to earn your way in, and once there the available item would change each time you visit. In fact, you could put up your own items for sale.

They should run a fan contest to write a romance short story based in Eora. The winner gets their story published within the game lore, along with proper credits, &c.- 52 replies
