In a slave society, I'd guess that most people don't pay much attention to the slaves. You'd be just like a common piece of furniture, so the non-slaves won't really notice you until they need to use you. Thus you can probably wander around without gathering much attention, unless, say, you have a permanent slave mark on your face. The slave hunters will want to look you up though. -
Xoti respec?
rjshae replied to rjshae's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Yes, it's always possible the developers will limit which classes a companion can take (as in NWN2), in which case I'll just have Xoti take priest class levels. I just didn't want to miss out on the interaction possibilities because of a character's class choices. Thanks everybody. -
A stagger animation or a cry of pain would do it for me. Cartoonish embellishments would break immersion.

I don't particularly enjoy playing with Monk characters. Will there be a way, I wonder, to respec the priest/monk character Xoti and yank out the Monk class levels? Or are we stuck with that?

Grappling with a Message Issue

Too bag they aren't using Bugzilla. Thanks. -

Speaking of irrational...

Perhaps some of these desired spells can be turned into 'ritual' talents that can be cast outside of combat? Invisibility, Find Trap, and Knock, for example, could be per rest abilities. That would limit the potential abuses of co-opting skills with spells.

Can the pet slot be merged with the quick slots? I.e. give the player an extra slot he can use for a pet or item.

The ability to upgrade a Ranger's animal companion with an enchanted collar.

To me, the PoE healing system worked well to train the player in how far to proceed into a dungeon before restocking. Over time it tended to incentivize continuing until you were almost out of supplies before returning to the Inn, especially when you found extra camp supplies in containers. (It would have been nice if the resupply activity had actually meant something besides just a restock.) I'm not sure what injuries added, other than providing a little color and increasing the incentive to rest.

Actually, if it becomes per encounter then I would hope the diversity of spell types will increase and become more specialized. That will give you more tactical decisions to make for a presumably decreased number of spell uses.

Anyone can disarm traps. I regularly have parties in PoE that don't include a Rogue or Cipher and I just pick someone else and pump their mechanics and, at worst, there is the occasional trap I can't disarm and am forced to trigger. What do I lose from this? Some health and a little bit of experience that I really don't need. The idea that a Rogue or Cipher is mandatory is just rubbish. Isn't trap/secret detection being switched to use Perception in PoE2? Thought I read that somewhere.

With six characters I'm usually still able to battle on when three or even four of them drop during heavy combat. I'd expect though that 5 member parties will need more do-overs.
-
I think higher level Rogues should be capable of being more disruptive in combat. Fighters have Knock Down, Into the Fray, Clear Out, and Charge, all of which can heavily disrupt the enemy battle line. Rogues should be able to cause trips, tumbles, unbalancing, distraction, and entanglement.

One more thing: the ability to select drag-select items in the Chest. Selling many dozens of mundane items was just a click fest.

What needs fixing: I'd like more things to spend money on than I can possibly fund. Toward the end of PoE I had a ridiculous amount of money and nothing worth buying. If the game isn't going to provide super-expensive magic item goodies, then perhaps it needed virtual assets to purchase that would improve relations, enhance prestige, subvert something, or just to feel good. &c. Why couldn't I fund a new hospital wing in the outer island colonies and get a nice thank you for it? Maybe a mention of it in NPC conversations?

Well at least it isn't four.
