    Regarding the sidekicks, per https://www.fig.co/campaigns/deadfire?update=273#updates: So yeah, they're subject to change... including Ydwin.

    No, because it needs to reset the hamster on the little wheel and that little guy can only run so fast.

    God, just leave them out of the main game and introduce them completely in the expansion... This is a mess. Isn't that exactly what that quote says? So mess avoided. Yay. No it's not. She'll be in the main game as a sidekick. Sidekicks aren't companions and don't eat into their writing resources. They are more like glorified mercenaries. Right, we all read the updates. The problem comes later when, assuming she becomes a companion in the update, Ydwin suddenly develops a lot more depth and interaction. To handle that, they would need to give her a reason why she changed from taciturn to fully interactive.

    Millions of fish breathe a sigh of relief...

    Another Trumped up U.S. political crisis... that may turn into a real one. This is getting old.

    Perhaps there'll be a Lernaean Hydra? That would fit somewhat with the Naga motif.

    Presumably she can be multi-classed into your preferred role for her. She might make a decent Chanter, for example.

    Thanks for the update. It all looks great, and I really like the new exotic moon godlike. For the color correction part though, the more drab look actually makes it more lifelike, gritty, and immersive. At least to me... tastes vary.

    It almost sounds like they should remove Ydwin from the first release altogether and save her as a full-blown character for a follow-on expansion set.

    He actually got his start around these parts (Seattle), and we saw him on the popular local comedy show Almost Live. Quite the humorous guy, and his science presentations were almost always entertaining. Unfortunately, as of late he gets a lot of negative press from the anti-science types. A sign of these recidivistic times, I guess.

    I really don't want to know too much about him until the game is out.

    My party will involve booze.

    Scamerific...

    So money made him realize he was wrong the first time around? Mmm, the two are not mutually exclusive. See epigenetics for example.

    I wonder whether we will discover other deities for non-PC races? How about the Vithrack, for example?

    They should use whatever makes the most sense for the circumstances.

    There was an old SPI wargame based on the early part of the Korean war, called "Korea". I played it a few times when I was younger. The rugged terrain and shape of the peninsula made for a pretty uninteresting game though. It's somewhat reminiscent of the Italian peninsula campaign during WW II -- only the sea landings made it at all interesting. Otherwise it's an endless slugfest.

    Beefy Wizards would make the ultimate bullies. Possibly that's why some people don't like the concept?
  24. rjshae
    Well...

    Yes, I like video games for the sense of escapism, control, tactical problem solving, sense of accomplishment, and novelty they provide. Especially when the weather is too dreary for outdoor activities, and the TV shows are lame. Books and movies provide some of the same enjoyment factors as games, but you're entirely in the hands of the writer/director.
