Here's what I could caption (I missed some stuff that was really on displayed for a fraction of a second I couldn't pause at the exact moment.)

It also looks like Tekehu's bonus spells from being a Watershaper are somewhat unique. For example he gets "Watery Double" instead of "Wizard Double"—a liquid copy of himself that can cast a few Water spells.

What they had done with STR/RES was not the solution. MaxQuest has good proposals to balance MIG—I would on board with those.

Don’t get me started...

What’s with you guys and always streaming in the dead of the European night?

I’d rather lower damage than to make things slower, though. Anything that isn’t DW is already well into “stare at recovery and yawn” territory; let’s not drag DW in there too.

Dual-classing in AD&D is when you give up a profession to take up another. This is definitely multiclassing (which was possible with two classes as well in AD&D.)

I'd rather speed up everything else than slow down DW, honestly. 4s recovery on weapons is already a crime in itself—I've got to pack speed bonuses or die of boredom while I stare at my guys sitting through recovery.

Unarmed proficiency is gained automatically by every character as of beta 4.

It does! Thank you

Been a while since I played PoE so it’s possible I’m misremembering.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you say, "he was a likely tradesman," you're saying that he was believable as a tradesman. Perhaps he wasn't a tradesman, but people would easily mistake him for one. If you say, "he was likely a tradesman," you're saying there's a good chance he was a tradesman for a living (regardless of whether or not he appeared as one.) In the context of a sentence that continues with "rather than a warrior," it seems likely to me that the original intent was to say, "he was likely a tradesman rather than a warrior." As in, "it's more probable that he was a tradesman than a warrior." If you say he was believable as a tradesman, the follow-up "than a warrior" makes no sense. Or am I missing something here?

All right, now I'm curious—how did capes interfere with "quit to desktop"? :D #oddbugs

I'm not sure I follow. In PoE a lash would apply 25% of your damage against 25% of the enemy's elemental DR, using the same DR bypass value as your main weapon; in Deadfire, a lash goes against the relevant elemental AR using the same AP value as your main weapon. It's a consistent translation of lashes from the old system to the new one. If lashes call for a nerf, then so does regular weapon damage on the grounds that it works in the exact same way. But I don't think a nerf is called for at all. Underpenetration already leads to reduced damage and elemental lashes can underpenetrate even if your main damage doesn't, because they are checked separately.

Yes. Once casting times are set, they are set for everyone.

Going by memory from the latest stream, Xoti's got decent DEX and INT and meh everything else.

Same argument could be made for audio books versus actual books, since the characters in books are mostly people. Not a very good argument.

You can have a taste of that in the beta by consolling in some high-level scrolls (hint: They look good.)

Depends on the high-level abilities, but I’ll likely multi my main and keep companions single-classed.

I guess I’m lucky. As a non-native speaker, I can’t place any English accent :D

I loved Caroc’s voice acting, personally. Full VO doesn’t do much for me, but if all actors are as good as the Critical Role crew I’ll probably enjoy it. Still hoping that Allegra Clark, Ray Chase, and D. C. Douglas are in (for those who don’t know, they were Verse, Tunon, and Lantry in Tyranny respectively.)
